The AULA WIN68 HE is a gentle way into magnetic keyboards, with light 32gf Gray Wood switches and Rapid Trigger. It skips the extra modes, polls at 8000Hz over a cable and is hot-swappable. Evetech backs it with a 2-year warranty, which suits a planned purchase.
When you have been putting money aside for months, the keyboard you finally pick has to be the right one, not a stopgap you replace in a year. The AULA WIN68 HE is a sensible target for that kind of planned purchase. It is a gentle way into magnetic switches: light to press, simple to set up and built to be repaired rather than thrown away, without the full menu of competitive modes that newcomers rarely touch.
The AULA WIN68 HE eases you into magnetic keyboards with light 32gf Gray Wood switches, Rapid Trigger and per-key actuation, without the extra modes of the WIN68 MAX. It polls at 8000Hz over a USB-C cable, is hot-swappable and includes two spare switches. A 2 Years Local Warranty from Evetech comes with it, and Evetech sells it for R449.
A magnetic keyboard can feel intimidating. Words like actuation, dead zone and SOCD fill spec sheets, and it is not obvious which ones matter. The HE keeps the core and leaves out the rest.
What you get:
What you do not have to learn on day one: SOCD, DKS, Mod-Tap, Toggle and Rapid Switch, which sit on the WIN68 MAX. Everything on the HE is set in AULA's browser-based driver, with nothing to install on a Windows PC.
A purchase you planned for deserves to last. The HE helps in three practical ways.
The warranty is local. Evetech covers the board for two years, so any early fault is handled in South Africa rather than shipped abroad.
The switches are replaceable. Because the board is hot-swappable, a single worn or faulty switch can be swapped without soldering, and AULA packs two spare magnetic switches and a keycap puller in the box. A tired key does not mean a dead keyboard.
The build is solid for its size. Inside, a metal plate locates the switches, while two foam layers, one of them Poron, and a thicker-than-usual plastic case keep it steady and quiet.
Starting with the simpler board does not lock you in. The hot-swap sockets mean you can change the feel later with other magnetic switches from the keyboard switches on offer. Lighting is part of the package too: every key has its own south-facing LED with a palette of roughly 16.8 million shades, rather than being an extra, adjustable from the driver or by Fn shortcut.
If you find after a few months that you want SOCD for competitive shooters or Mod-Tap for more shortcuts on a small layout, that is the point where the WIN68 MAX makes sense. Until then, the HE covers what most players use every day.
A good standard mechanical keyboard is a fine choice, and there are plenty in the gaming keyboards category at Evetech. The case for going magnetic now, if you are already saving for something you want to keep, is that adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger are features you cannot add to a mechanical board later. The HE puts them in a compact 65% layout with 68 keys, arrow keys kept, which also frees desk space for the mouse.
Take time to compare. Check the price on the product page, read what each edition includes, and pick the one you will still be happy with in two years.
It keeps Rapid Trigger and per-key actuation but skips the extra competitive modes, so there is less to learn at the start.
Two years, with the warranty handled locally by Evetech.
Yes. If one switch fails or feels different, you can swap in a spare without soldering and keep playing.
Its hot-swap sockets accept other magnetic switches, so the feel can change over time without replacing the whole board.
Both work. Magnetic brings adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger, which cannot be added to a mechanical board later.
Yes. Per-key south-facing RGB comes built in, adjustable in the driver or with Fn shortcuts.
