The AULA HERO 84 HE lets you change keycaps and magnetic switches without soldering, and mix switch types. The stock switches are pre-lubed Black King at 33gf. Fit magnetic switches only, then tune actuation in the driver. Evetech carries it.
Most keyboards are finished the day you buy them: the feel you get in the shop is the feel you live with. The HERO 84 HE is more open-ended. Both the keycaps and the magnetic switches pull out without a soldering iron, so the board can change as your taste does. Here is what a hot-swappable magnetic keyboard actually lets you change on this one, and where the limits sit.
On the AULA HERO 84 HE you can change the keycaps and the magnetic switches without soldering, and you can run different switch types on different keys. Priced at R719 at Evetech, it ships with pre-lubed Black King switches rated at 33gf actuation. Replacements must be magnetic switches from a compatible family, and after any swap you tune actuation again in AULA's web driver.
The HERO 84 HE uses an 84-key 75% layout, so replacement keycap sets need to cover that arrangement, including the function row and the arrow keys. Many enthusiast sets include extra keys for different layouts, but check the set's compatibility list before you order. Changing caps alters the look, the texture under your fingers and, to a degree, the sound.
This is the bigger deal. The board's Black King switches, which AULA also calls Black Emperor, actuate at 33gf, bottom out at 53gf and travel 3.4mm. If that feels too light, a heavier magnetic switch can go in. If only a few keys bother you, only those need changing.
AULA's page is clear that mixed setups are supported. A common pattern is heavier switches on keys you press by accident and the original Black Kings everywhere else.
Here is the catch that trips people up. AULA's partner store notes that not every magnetic switch fits every magnetic board. A magnetic switch is read by a sensor under it, and the board expects a magnet of a certain kind in a certain place. So:
Evetech's keyboard switches category is a starting point for comparing options, with that rule in mind.
A new switch is not quite plug and play on a magnetic board, because actuation is a setting rather than a fixed point. Once the new switches are in:
AULA's page names only keycaps and switches as the swappable parts, so treat the case, the cable socket and the light box as fixed. The included cable itself is a separate USB-A to USB-C lead.
Three good reasons. You might want a heavier or lighter press than 33gf. You might want a different look, perhaps caps that suit the white and purple finish better. Or a single switch may fail years from now, and replacing one is far simpler than replacing a keyboard.
