Both desks can reach 8000Hz polling. The cable desk pairs an AULA WIN68 with a corded mouse; the cordless one pairs the HERO 75 HE with an SC900 MAX on receivers. The trade is cables against charging: the WIN68 never needs a charge, while the other two run on batteries.
Picture one player with two desks: a fixed gaming corner at home and a second setup that has to move between rooms, trips and the odd LAN. The AULA range can dress both, one on cables and one on receivers, and comparing them side by side shows what each approach really costs you. This is a practical wired vs wireless gaming setup comparison, built from real AULA products rather than theory.
Both desks can hit 8000Hz polling. The corded desk pairs an AULA WIN68 with a mouse on its cable; the cordless desk pairs the HERO 75 HE with an SC900 MAX on their 2.4GHz receivers. The real trade is cables against charging: the WIN68 never needs a charge, while the HERO 75 HE and the SC900 MAX run on batteries. In Evetech's pricing, the WIN68 is R449 for the HE or R699 for the MAX, the HERO 75 HE R899 and the SC900 MAX R749.
The WIN68 is a compact 65% magnetic board with 68 keys, and it is cable-only. It connects through a detachable USB-C cable and polls at 8000Hz, with Rapid Trigger on its magnetic switches. Two editions share that frame:
There is nothing to charge and nothing to pair. Plug it in and it is ready.
Two AULA mice suit this desk. The SC620 Contour runs on its cable at 1000Hz, weighs 67g and shows RGB through a hollowed-out honeycomb shell, with a dedicated Fire button for a mapped command. If you want the mouse to match the keyboard's rate, the SC900 MAX also runs on its USB-C cable at up to 8000Hz once set in software.
Two input cables to route, and that is the main chore. A mouse cable drags on the pad if it is not managed, so a bungee or a clip at the back edge of the mat helps. In exchange, nothing ever runs flat in the middle of a match.
The HERO 75 HE is AULA's tri-mode magnetic board. You can run it on a USB-C lead, its 2.4GHz dongle or a Bluetooth link shared across three devices, and it holds 8000Hz on the receiver as well as on the cable. Bluetooth drops to 125Hz, fine for typing on a laptop but not the link for games.
It is a 75% layout with 84 keys, so it keeps the function row that the WIN68 moves onto Fn layers. Its actuation point can sit anywhere across a 0.1mm to 3.4mm range at 0.005mm resolution, and its advanced modes include SOCD, DKS, Mod-Tap, Toggle, END and Multi-Point Trigger. A 36-LED light box runs along the top, and an 8000mAh battery powers the wireless modes.
The SC900 MAX is the natural partner. On its receiver it reaches up to 8000Hz once raised in software from a 1000Hz default, and its DPI runs in six steps up to 30,000. It weighs 62g with its battery fitted.
No cables across the desk, and the setup moves easily. The chore here is power. The HERO 75 HE needs topping up over USB-C; AULA does not publish its battery hours, so a routine charge is sensible. The SC900 MAX is easier than most, because its 400mAh cell lifts out from beneath a base panel, so a fresh one goes in within moments.
On paper, neither desk is faster. The WIN68 polls at 8000Hz over its cable and the HERO 75 HE matches that on its receiver. The SC900 MAX reaches 8000Hz either way. If you pick the SC620 Contour for the corded desk, the mouse sits at 1000Hz, which is still the long-standing standard for gaming mice.
The WIN68 HE is the simpler of the magnetic boards, with Rapid Trigger and per-key actuation. The WIN68 MAX closes most of the gap to the HERO 75 HE's advanced modes. The HERO 75 HE's extra function row and wireless links are what you are really choosing between.
Corded means cable management. Cordless means charging. Some players find cables the bigger irritation, others would rather never see a low-battery warning. Be honest about which one you will actually deal with day to day.
This is where the cordless desk pulls ahead. The HERO 75 HE can switch between a desktop on its receiver and a laptop or tablet over Bluetooth, remembering up to three devices. It can also plug in by USB-C, so at a crowded event where the air is full of other signals you can simply go cabled.
To compare these against other popular boards and mice, look through Evetech's peripheral best sellers, and pick a surface for either desk from the gaming mouse pads range. On warranty, Evetech treats both keyboards as magnetic boards with 2 years of local cover, and the SC900 MAX and SC620 Contour mice with 1 year.
Not on paper. Both keyboards report at 8000Hz, one by cable and one by dongle, and the SC900 MAX can do the same on either desk.
It gives up the function row and wireless links of the HERO 75 HE. The WIN68 MAX still carries SOCD, DKS and Mod-Tap.
The keyboard needs regular top-ups over USB-C. The mouse can take a charged battery in place of a flat one instead of waiting.
Yes. The corded desk suits a fixed PC, and the cordless one moves with you and can still go cabled when needed.
