Not every good keyboard needs switches. Membrane boards have a reputation for feeling mushy, but that usually comes from low-grade rubber domes and flat, slippery keycaps rather than from the idea itself. The S102 PRO pairs a silicone membrane with sculpted keycaps, and the combination is aimed squarely at people who type all day in shared spaces. Here is how a silicone membrane keyboard with Cherry-profile caps gets its soft, quiet keystroke.

Quick Answer

The AULA S102 PRO pairs a silicone membrane with Cherry-profile keycaps for a soft, quiet keystroke. The membrane has no individual switches, so there is nothing to lube, swap or maintain, and the sculpted caps suit long typing sessions in open-plan offices and shared rooms. It is a full-size layout with a number pad, three typing angles and grey, white and teal keycaps. Evetech sells it in grey for R299.

🫧 What a silicone membrane is

Under each key of a membrane keyboard sits a small dome. Press the key and the dome collapses, pushing a contact on a flexible sheet against another sheet below, which registers the keystroke. When you release, the dome springs back and lifts the key.

On the S102 PRO those domes are silicone. Silicone is soft and resilient, so it compresses smoothly and returns quietly. There is no metal spring and no switch housing for a stem to rattle in, which is why membrane boards are naturally quiet. AULA describes the S102 PRO's keystroke as quiet and pitches it for shared rooms and open-plan offices.

The other benefit is simplicity. With no individual switches, there is nothing to lubricate, replace or adjust. The keyboard is designed to be used, not tinkered with.

📐 Cherry profile and why it helps comfort

Keycap profile describes the height and shape of each row of keys. On a flat-profile keyboard every key is the same height and shape. A sculpted profile varies them row by row so the keys form a gentle curve that follows your fingers.

Cherry profile is one of the best-known sculpted profiles. It is relatively low, and each row is angled towards your fingertips. AULA says the S102 PRO's Cherry-profile keycaps follow the natural curve of your fingers. In practice that means:

  • Less reaching for the top rows, because they tilt towards you.
  • A lower overall height than many sculpted profiles, so your wrists do not have to lift as much.
  • A clear sense of which row you are on, even without looking.

The keycaps come in grey and white with teal accents on the grey board.

🏢 Built for shared spaces

A quiet keystroke matters most where other people are working. The S102 PRO combines its silicone membrane with a few practical extras:

  • A full-size layout with a dedicated number pad and function row for documents and spreadsheets.
  • Three typing angles from its kickstands, with a 2cm front height when flat.
  • A rotary volume knob for calls and music.
  • A small TFT screen that reports the live link and how much charge is left.
  • RGB backlighting with adjustable brightness and colours.

It connects by 2.4GHz wireless, by Bluetooth to two devices or over the supplied USB-C lead, and switches between Windows and Mac layouts with Fn + A and Fn + S.

You will find the S102 PRO among Evetech's office keyboards. If you would rather buy a matched keyboard and mouse together, the keyboard and mouse sets category has options. Evetech backs this board with a 1 Year Local Warranty, and pricing will show on its product page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a silicone membrane register a keypress?

Each key presses a silicone dome that pushes two contact sheets together. When you let go, the dome springs back.

What makes Cherry profile comfortable?

It is a low, sculpted profile, with each row angled towards your fingers, so reaching the top rows takes less effort.

Will it be quiet enough for an open-plan office?

AULA pitches its quiet silicone keystroke at exactly that kind of shared space.

Does it need any maintenance?

No switch maintenance at all. An occasional wipe of the keycaps and a brush between the keys is enough.

Can I change the typing angle?

Yes. The kickstands give three angles, and it sits at 2cm high at the front when flat.
