Layout is the decision that shapes a keyboard more than any spec. It sets how wide the board is, where your mouse can sit, and which keys you reach directly rather than through a combination. The AULA range spans nearly every common size, so it is a handy way to see the trade-offs side by side. Here is the range sorted by keyboard layout sizes, smallest to largest.
Quick Answer
The AULA WIN68 is a 65% board with 68 keys, and the S102 PRO is a full-size board with a number pad. Between them sit the 75% HERO, AG75 and L99 boards, the tenkeyless F87 Pro V2 and the 96% F99 Max, which squeezes a number pad into a shorter frame. Smaller layouts free mouse space; larger ones keep more keys within one press. Evetech's prices run from R299 for the S102 PRO to R2,799 for the AG75 Pro in Armor Silver.
🤏 65%: the WIN68
The WIN68 HE and WIN68 MAX are 65% boards with 68 keys. A 65% layout drops the function row and the number pad but keeps the arrow keys, which is its big advantage over even smaller designs. F-keys and other commands move onto Fn combinations.
The payoff is width. With no number pad pushing the mouse outwards, low-sensitivity players get a longer clear lane for wide swipes. Both WIN68 editions are wired magnetic boards polling at 8000Hz.
🎯 75%: HERO 75 HE, HERO 84 HE, AG75 and L99
A 75% layout brings the function row back while staying compact, with the keys packed closely together.
- HERO 75 HE: 84 keys, measuring about 313 x 139 x 43mm. Tri-mode, magnetic.
- HERO 84 HE: also 84 keys in a 75% layout, wired and magnetic.
- AG75 Pro and Ultra: 81 keys in a CNC aluminium case measuring 319.8 x 143.8 x 42.1mm.
- L99: a 75% key area with a 3.98-inch touchscreen alongside it, which makes the whole board wider, at 390.5mm across.
For many people 75% is the sweet spot: function keys for work shortcuts and games, arrows in place, and still plenty of room for the mouse.
📐 TKL and 96%: F87 Pro V2 and F99 Max
Tenkeyless
The F87 Pro V2 is a tenkeyless board, sometimes called 80%. It keeps the full function row, the arrows and the navigation cluster (Insert, Home, Page Up and the rest) in their standard spaced-out positions. Only the number pad goes. It suits anyone who uses navigation keys a lot and wants a familiar spacing.
96%
The F99 Max is a 96% board with 97 keys. It keeps a full number pad but closes up the gaps between clusters, so the board is shorter than a full-size one. It is the answer for people who need a number pad but want to reclaim a little desk space.
In practice, the difference between TKL and 96% is simple: TKL gives up the number pad to keep standard spacing, while 96% keeps the number pad and gives up the spacing.
🖥️ Full size: the S102 PRO
The S102 PRO is a full-size (100%) office keyboard with a dedicated number pad and the complete function row, on a quiet silicone membrane. For spreadsheets and data entry, nothing beats every key in its standard place.
Is there a compact board with a number pad?
The F99 Max is the one to look at. The L99 also has a trick here: its touchscreen can act as a numpad, although it is not a physical number pad.
The magnetic 65% and 75% boards, meaning the WIN68, HERO and AG75 families, come with a 2 Years Local Warranty at Evetech. Everything else in this guide, from the touchscreen L99 to the S102 PRO office board, carries one year.
