Some keyboards are bought to be replaced: a year or two of use, a worn switch or a fading finish, and they are gone. Others are bought to stay. The AG75 is clearly designed as the second kind, with a machined aluminium body, switches you can change and a case that opens by hand. Pair that with local cover and you have a solid case for a keyboard built to last on a South African desk.
Quick Answer
The AULA AG75 combines a tool-free, open-up case with a 2 Years Local Warranty through Evetech, which makes it a good fit for a keyboard you plan to keep for many years. Its magnetic switches are hot-swappable, its CNC aluminium case is anodised for durability, and the same design applies to the AG75 Pro and AG75 Ultra. In South Africa, that cover is handled locally rather than through an overseas seller. Pricing at Evetech starts at R2,399 for the Ultra and the Shadow Grey Pro, with the Armor Silver Pro at R2,799.
🔧 Why a keeper board needs easy access
Over years of use, a keyboard collects dust, the odd crumb and sometimes a switch that starts to feel off. On a sealed board, dealing with any of that means prising at clips or giving up. Ball catches hold the AG75's shell together instead of screws, so cleaning inside becomes routine maintenance rather than surgery.
The switches follow the same thinking. Whether your board uses Frostcore (the Pro) or Eight Treasures (the Ultra), each switch lifts out, so a single tired one can be pulled and replaced without soldering. Because they are Hall Effect switches, a sensor reads the magnet's position instead of relying on metal contacts rubbing together, which removes one of the classic wear points of a conventional switch.
What tends to wear out soonest
On most keyboards, these are the parts that show their age soonest:
- Keycap tops, which go shiny with use.
- Individual switches on the most-used keys.
- The cable, especially at the plug.
All three are replaceable on the AG75. Caps can be changed, switches pulled and swapped, and the USB-C cable is detachable.
🪙 How the aluminium ages
The case is machined from aluminium, sandblasted at 220 grit and anodised. Anodising hardens the surface layer and holds the colour, so each of the three colourways keeps its finish far better than painted plastic. Treat it gently, use a microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners, and the finish should look much the same years from now.
🛡️ Local cover, and which edition to keep
The AG75 is among the nine AULA magnetic boards that carry the longer cover, and claims on it are handled here. If something fails inside that period, you deal with a local retailer rather than posting a heavy aluminium board abroad. Keep the invoice with the box.
Pro or Ultra for the long haul?
Both share the same case, plate, damping and electronics, so neither is built to last longer than the other. Choose on switch preference and colour. The Ultra comes with PBT dye-sub and transparent keycaps, while the Pro offers two colourways.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cover period applies to the AG75?
Two years, as a local warranty handled through Evetech.
Can I clean inside it myself?
Yes. Pull the lead out, lay a towel down, part the case by hand and take a photo of the damping before you disturb it.
Which parts can be replaced over time?
The magnetic switches, the keycaps and the detachable USB-C cable.
Will the aluminium finish wear?
Anodising makes it hard-wearing. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals when cleaning.
Is either edition more durable?
No. The Pro and Ultra share the same construction, so pick on switch and colour.
