The AULA WIN68, HERO and AG75 boards are magnetic, the L99, F87 Pro V2 and F99 Max are mechanical, and two are membrane. The S102 PRO and AC306 use quiet membranes for office typing. Magnetic switches sense key depth, which is what makes Rapid Trigger possible.
Keyboard spec sheets love adjectives, but the single most useful fact about any board is what physically happens when you press a key. The AULA keyboard range covers all three answers in one line-up: magnetic sensing, mechanical switches and quiet membranes. Sorting magnetic vs mechanical vs membrane up front makes the rest of the range much easier to read, because each type is built for a different kind of user.
The AULA WIN68, HERO and AG75 boards are magnetic, three screen-and-display boards (F99 Max, L99, F87 Pro V2) are mechanical, and the S102 PRO and AC306 use quiet membranes for office and home typing. Magnetic switches sense how far a key has travelled, which is what makes Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation possible. Mechanical switches register at a fixed point, and membranes press through a flexible sheet with no individual switch at all. Evetech's prices put the magnetic boards at R449 to R2,799, the mechanical trio at R799 to R1,099, and the S102 PRO and AC306 at R299 and R239.
A magnetic (Hall Effect) switch carries a small magnet, and a sensor underneath measures its position continuously rather than waiting for two metal contacts to touch. Because the board always knows how deep a key is, it can let you pick where a press counts and reset a key the moment it starts to rise. That second trick is Rapid Trigger.
Nine AULA boards work this way:
These are the gaming-focused end of the range.
A mechanical switch has a spring and a stem, and it registers when internal contacts meet at a set point in the travel. You cannot move that point in software, but you can change the whole feel by fitting different switches, and all three of these boards have hot-swap sockets for exactly that.
All three are tri-mode, with a cable, a 2.4GHz receiver and Bluetooth.
A membrane keyboard has no separate switch under each key. Pressing a key pushes through layered sheets to complete a circuit, which makes these boards quiet and simple. There is nothing to swap or lubricate, and nothing to tune.
The S102 PRO is a full-size office keyboard on a silicone membrane, with a volume knob and a small status screen. The AC306 is a wireless keyboard-and-mouse set with round retro keycaps, built for home and office typing. Both are about calm, comfortable work rather than speed.
If games are rare, a membrane board or a lubed linear mechanical board suits long typing. If games matter as much as documents, a magnetic board gives you Rapid Trigger for play and an adjustable actuation point you can set deeper for fewer accidental presses while typing.
Cover also follows the switch type in this range. The nine magnetic boards carry a 2 Years Local Warranty at Evetech; the mechanical and membrane models carry one year. Compare them all in the gaming keyboards category, and if a hot-swap board tempts you, the keyboard switches collection shows what can go into it.
A magnetic switch measures key position continuously, so actuation can be adjusted. A mechanical switch triggers at a fixed contact point.
The L99, F99 Max and F87 Pro V2.
Quiet office and home typing. The S102 PRO is a full-size keyboard; the AC306 is a keyboard and mouse set.
No. Membranes have no individual switches to swap.
A lubed linear mechanical board suits pure typing; a magnetic board suits a mix of typing and fast games.
In this range, yes. The magnetic boards get two years; the others get one.
