Very little: the AULA HERO 75 HE keeps 8000Hz on its 2.4GHz receiver, plus Rapid Trigger, SOCD and DKS. The trade-offs are charging an 8000mAh battery, a 125Hz Bluetooth mode and no published runtime. Evetech sells it with 2 years of cover.
Wired has long been the safe choice for serious players, and for good reason: a cable does not run flat, does not suffer interference and historically carried faster polling than any wireless link. The AULA HERO 75 HE challenges that assumption for magnetic boards. The honest answer to wireless versus wired magnetic keyboards is that the HERO gives up surprisingly little, but not nothing, and it is worth knowing exactly what the trade is.
Very little is given up. The AULA HERO 75 HE keeps 8000Hz on its 2.4GHz receiver, along with Rapid Trigger, SOCD and DKS. The real trade-offs are charging an 8000mAh battery with no published runtime, a Bluetooth mode that runs at 125Hz, and the small risk of radio interference that a cable never has. At Evetech the HERO 75 HE costs R899.
The traditional worry about wireless keyboards is polling. Many wireless boards report far less often over the air than over a cable. The HERO does not: it runs at 8000Hz over the 2.4GHz receiver and 8000Hz on its USB-C cable. On paper, the receiver link matches the wired one.
Inside the board, magnetic sensing is the same in every mode. The internal key scan (48kHz with all keys in play, 128kHz for one) and the fine actuation control in 0.005mm increments carry on exactly as before when you pull the plug.
Some wireless keyboards trim features to save power. The HERO's feature list is the same regardless of connection. The AULA HUB web driver offers:
A wired magnetic board with a similar mode list, such as AULA's own WIN68 MAX or AG75, does not have an advantage here.
This is where the honest trade-offs live.
Charging. Wireless modes draw on an 8000mAh cell whose runtime AULA leaves unstated. Lighting and use decide that. A wired board simply never asks.
Bluetooth is slower. The third connection mode, Bluetooth for up to three devices, runs at 125Hz. It is there for laptops and tablets, not games. A wired board has no equivalent, but it also has no second-tier mode to fall into by mistake.
Radio conditions. The 2.4GHz band is shared with home Wi-Fi and other wireless devices. A receiver placed behind a metal case or among busy USB devices can see an occasional hiccup. A cable is immune to that.
Weight and size. The HERO weighs about 980g and measures 313 x 139 x 43mm, which is not a penalty for a 75% board. For comparison, AULA's wired AG75 in its aluminium case is about 1532g, so wireless here is not the heavier option.
If you play in tournaments where every variable counts, want to never think about a battery, or game in a space crowded with 2.4GHz traffic, a wired magnetic board is the simpler answer. The HERO covers that too, since its USB-C cable gives the same 8000Hz whenever you want certainty.
For everyone else, the HERO removes the old choice between speed and a clean desk. It is a 75% board with 84 keys, a function row and arrows, magnetic switches that are hot-swappable, and a 36-LED light box above per-key RGB. Evetech carries it in black, orange and green, each with a 2 Years Local Warranty. Compare it against wired options in Evetech's gaming keyboards, or see the keyboard best sellers for more context.
No. The HERO runs at 8000Hz on the 2.4GHz receiver, the same as over its cable.
No. Rapid Trigger, SOCD, DKS and the other modes work the same on every connection.
Charging an 8000mAh battery with no published runtime, plus the need to place the receiver sensibly.
No. At 125Hz it is a typing and browsing link; switch to the receiver or cable before loading a game.
Not notably. It weighs about 980g and measures 313 x 139 x 43mm, typical for a 75% board.
Small with good placement. The 2.4GHz band is shared with Wi-Fi, so keep the receiver close and clear.
