"8K polling" has become a headline number on gaming peripherals, but it only means something if you know which products carry it and on which connection. Across AULA's range at Evetech, the figure turns up on five keyboard families and one mouse, with some conditions attached. Here is the full list of 8000Hz keyboard and mouse options from AULA, and what the number really describes.
Quick Answer
The AULA WIN68, HERO 75 HE, HERO 84 HE, AG75 and F87 Pro V2 keyboards and the SC900 MAX mouse all list 8000Hz. The HERO 75 HE holds it on its 2.4GHz receiver as well as its cable, and the SC900 MAX reaches it once you raise it in software. As a general rule, 8000Hz means a report to the PC every 0.125ms, eight times as often as 1000Hz. At Evetech the keyboards on this list cost R449 to R2,799, and the SC900 MAX costs R749.
📡 What polling rate means
Polling rate is how often a device tells the computer what it is doing. A 1000Hz device reports once a millisecond. At 8000Hz, it reports eight times in that same millisecond, so a key press or a mouse movement has less time to wait before the PC hears about it.
It is easy to confuse polling with scan rate. Scan rate is how often the keyboard checks its own keys; polling is how often it passes the result on. Both matter, and several AULA boards list both.
⌨️ The keyboards that list 8000Hz
WIN68 HE and WIN68 MAX
Both run 8000Hz over their detachable USB-C cable; they are wired boards. The WIN68 MAX goes further, with seven selectable polling levels in its driver and a scan rate of up to 32kHz on a single key. Lower levels are useful if a busy PC struggles at the top setting.
HERO 75 HE
The tri-mode magnetic board, and the one that keeps 8000Hz without a cable: on its 2.4GHz receiver as well as wired. Bluetooth runs at 125Hz, so the receiver is the link for games. It scans at 48kHz across all keys and 128kHz on a single key.
HERO 84 HE
The wired HERO polls at 8000Hz, with the same 48kHz full-key and 128kHz single-key scanning as its sibling.
AG75 Pro and AG75 Ultra
Both wired AG75 editions poll at 8000Hz, with a triple-MCU design and a 256kHz full-key scan rate. Their headline, though, is Rapid Trigger precision of 0.001mm.
F87 Pro V2
The one screen keyboard on the list. AULA rates it at dual 8000Hz, alongside SOCD, Mod-Tap and Toggle, its 49-LED audio dot-matrix display and a 10000mAh battery.
🖱️ The mouse that lists 8000Hz
The SC900 MAX is AULA's 8000Hz mouse, with one catch worth knowing: it ships at 1000Hz. Change the setting in software and its receiver and USB-C cable both carry up to 8000Hz. Bluetooth stays at 125Hz. It pairs that with DPI up to 30,000, a swappable 400mAh battery and a weight of 62g with the cell fitted.
📋 The rest of the range
Not every AULA product lists 8000Hz, and that is fine for what they are built to do.
- 1000Hz listed: the L99 screen keyboard, the SC620 Contour mouse and the SC590 Pro mouse.
- No rate listed: the F99 Max, the S102 PRO and the SC800 MAX. AULA simply does not publish a figure for these, so treat the rate as unstated rather than low.
Want a matching pair? A WIN68 or AG75 with an SC900 MAX on its cable runs both devices at 8000Hz. The warranty at Evetech is 2 years of local cover on the magnetic keyboards and 1 year on the F87 Pro V2 and the SC900 MAX.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 8000Hz make a difference I can feel?
The gap between reports shrinks from a millisecond to an eighth of one. Some players notice it in fast games; many never do.
Which AULA keyboard holds 8000Hz on a receiver?
The HERO 75 HE, the one tri-mode board in the magnetic lines. Switch to Bluetooth and the rate falls to 125Hz.
Is 8000Hz fixed on the WIN68 MAX?
Yes, through seven levels in its driver.
What does the SC900 MAX poll at out of the box?
1000Hz. Raise it in software for up to 8000Hz on the receiver or cable.
Scan rate or polling rate: which is which?
The board scans to find out what your fingers did, then polls out to tell the PC. They are separate figures, and the AG75 lists both.
