Magnetic keyboard marketing has become a race to the smallest decimal. 0.1mm became 0.01mm, then 0.005mm, then 0.001mm. The numbers are real, but they are not all measuring the same thing, and none of them tells you on its own which board will make you play better. Here is what the Rapid Trigger precision figures across AULA's magnetic boards actually say, and what they leave out.
Quick Answer
The AULA AG75 lists the finest figure, 0.001mm Rapid Trigger, and the WIN68 MAX lists 0.01mm. The HERO 75 HE and HERO 84 HE quote actuation steps of 0.005mm and 0.01mm instead, and the WIN68 HE has no published figure. Evetech covers all five with a 2 Years Local Warranty. Evetech's tags read R699 for the WIN68 MAX, R719 for the HERO 84 HE, R899 for the HERO 75 HE and R2,399 for the AG75, or R2,799 for the Armor Silver AG75 Pro.
📏 Two kinds of number
It helps to separate two ideas that often get blurred together.
Rapid Trigger precision
With Rapid Trigger on, a key switches off the instant it begins lifting and back on the instant it heads down again. The precision figure describes how small a movement the board treats as a change of direction. A smaller number means the board reacts to a tinier lift or press.
Actuation step
Actuation is the depth at which a press begins to count. On a magnetic board you choose that depth in software, and the step is the size of each increment you can choose between. A 0.01mm step means you can set 1.20mm, 1.21mm, 1.22mm and so on.
The two are related, since both reflect how finely the board reads the magnet's position, but they are not the same measurement. Comparing an actuation step on one board with a Rapid Trigger figure on another is comparing different things.
🗂️ What AULA publishes, board by board
- AG75 Pro and Ultra: 0.001mm Rapid Trigger with a zero dead zone, set per key in AULA's web HUB.
- WIN68 MAX: 0.01mm Rapid Trigger precision, with actuation set per key and a zero dead zone option.
- HERO 75 HE: actuation from 0.1mm to 3.4mm in 0.005mm steps, with Rapid Trigger and a zero dead zone option.
- HERO 84 HE: actuation from 0.1mm to 3.4mm in 0.01mm steps, with Rapid Trigger on top.
- WIN68 HE: Rapid Trigger with actuation and release set per key, but AULA publishes no precision figure.
🤔 Does a smaller number make a faster player?
Not by itself. A human finger cannot deliberately control movement at a thousandth of a millimetre, and most players set Rapid Trigger sensitivity well above the minimum to avoid accidental inputs from a resting finger. The practical difference between these boards in a match is far smaller than the gap between their numbers suggests.
What a fine figure does tell you is that the board's sensing is precise, which gives you a wider, smoother range to tune within. What matters more for performance is setting the values that suit your own hands, and practising with them.
Why is there no figure for the WIN68 HE?
AULA simply does not publish one. The WIN68 HE still has Rapid Trigger with per-key actuation and release in AULA's web driver, built on 32gf Gray Wood switches. It is positioned as the easy way into magnetic keyboards, while the WIN68 MAX adds the finer published precision and the advanced key modes.
Two boards quote 0.01mm. Are they identical?
No. The WIN68 MAX quotes 0.01mm as its Rapid Trigger precision; the HERO 84 HE quotes 0.01mm as its actuation step. Same number, different measurement.
🔧 Where these values are set
All of them live in AULA's browser-based drivers: the web driver for the WIN68 boards and HERO 84 HE, the AULA HUB web driver for the HERO 75 HE and the web HUB for the AG75. Start with a moderate actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity, play for a few sessions, then adjust in small steps.
Compare all five in Evetech's gaming keyboards range, and because every one is hot-swappable, the keyboard switches page is worth a look for later upgrades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Rapid Trigger figure the same as an actuation step?
No. One describes how small a movement resets or re-fires a key; the other is the increment for choosing where a press counts.
Can anyone feel 0.001mm?
No finger can control movement that small. It reflects sensor precision rather than a feel you notice.
Why is there no figure for the WIN68 HE?
AULA does not publish one, though the board still offers Rapid Trigger with per-key settings.
Do smaller numbers make a faster player?
Not on their own. Tuning settings to your hands and practising matter more.
Where are these values set?
In AULA's browser-based drivers for each board.
Are the two 0.01mm figures identical?
No. The WIN68 MAX figure is Rapid Trigger precision; the HERO 84 HE figure is its actuation step.
