The AULA S102 PRO, SC900 MAX and A500 make a quiet study desk, with a flip-to-mute mic for classes. The S102 PRO's silicone membrane keeps typing soft, the SC900 MAX is tri-mode, and the A500's hybrid ANC shuts out a noisy house during lectures.
Online lectures, group calls and late assignments all happen at the same desk, often in a shared room. That calls for gear that stays quiet, mutes fast and moves between a laptop and a desktop without fuss. Built from the AULA range, a study desk setup can come together around four pieces: the S102 PRO keyboard, the SC900 MAX mouse, the A500 headset and the MP-XL pad.
Use the AULA S102 PRO for quiet typing, the SC900 MAX as a tri-mode mouse and the A500 headset for classes. The S102 PRO's silicone membrane keeps keystrokes soft, and its full-size layout keeps a number pad. The A500's hybrid ANC blocks household noise during lectures, and its boom mic mutes when you flip it up. At Evetech the S102 PRO is R299, the A500 R639 and the SC900 MAX R749.
The S102 PRO is a full-size membrane keyboard with a silicone structure, which is what keeps each keystroke quiet. That matters when a roommate is asleep or a sibling is on a call in the same room. It keeps the dedicated number pad and the full function row, so spreadsheets, statistics homework and anything with lots of figures stay quick to type.
It connects three ways: a 2.4GHz receiver, Bluetooth to two paired devices, or the included USB-A to USB-C cable. A small TFT screen shows which link is active and the battery percentage, so you are never guessing why the laptop is not responding. The rotary knob handles volume, handy for turning a lecture up or down without hunting for a key. Cherry-profile keycaps and kickstands with three typing angles help over long essay sessions. AULA notes it charges from a computer's USB port rather than a wall adapter.
On a Mac, Fn + S switches the layout, and Fn + A returns to Windows.
The SC900 MAX uses a switch on its base to pick 2.4GHz or Bluetooth, and it also runs on a USB-C cable. For students, the useful part is moving between a desktop at home and a laptop in the library. Pair it over Bluetooth to the laptop and use the receiver on the desktop.
At 62g with its battery, it is light enough to toss into a bag, and its 400mAh cell can be swapped out for a charged one rather than leaving you waiting on a charge before a test.
The A500 is the piece that does most for online classes. Its hybrid active noise cancelling, rated by AULA at up to 38dB, lowers the sound of a busy house so the lecturer stays clear. Transparency mode lets outside sound through when someone knocks.
The boom mic stays out of sight until you need it. Flip it down to answer a question in class and flip it up to mute, which is quicker and more reliable than clicking around a video app. Bluetooth 5.4, its own USB dongle and a 3.5mm lead are all options, so it suits a laptop, a desktop or a phone. Battery life is long: about 100 hours with ANC off.
A full-size keyboard, a mouse and a textbook compete for space. The MP-XL is 900 x 400mm, big enough to put a full-size board and a mouse on one surface with room left over. Its anti-slip rubber base keeps it from sliding when you lean on it to write notes, and the stitched edges stop it fraying over a few years of use.
To see what other buyers pair with these, Evetech's peripheral best sellers list is a quick reference, and the gaming mouse pads category covers smaller mats if your desk is narrow. The S102 PRO, SC900 MAX, A500 and MP-XL each come with a 1 Year Local Warranty from Evetech.
