The AULA F87 Pro V2 is a tri-mode tenkeyless board that polls at 8000Hz, supports SOCD and carries a 10000mAh battery. AULA quotes a 0.125ms response, about eight times a 1000Hz keyboard, and adds Mod-Tap and Toggle. Evetech covers the board for a year locally.
Plenty of keyboards chase one headline number. The AULA F87 Pro V2 stacks three that usually sit on different boards: 8000Hz polling, SOCD key handling and a 10000mAh battery, all inside a tenkeyless body. For anyone shopping for a wireless TKL gaming keyboard, that combination covers speed, competitive input handling and long stretches away from the cable.
The F87 Pro V2 is a tri-mode tenkeyless keyboard that polls at 8000Hz, supports SOCD and carries a 10000mAh battery. AULA rates its response at 0.125ms, roughly eight times the reporting rate of a standard 1000Hz board, and adds Mod-Tap and Toggle key modes. Evetech prices it at R899 and covers it with a 1 Year Local Warranty.
Polling rate is how often a keyboard reports to the computer. At 1000Hz that happens every millisecond; at 8000Hz, every 0.125ms. This board runs at the higher rate, which AULA describes as dual 8000Hz.
What that buys you is a shorter wait between pressing a key and the PC hearing about it. The gap is tiny in human terms, but in fast games where two players react at nearly the same moment, reducing any part of the delay is the point. For typing and everyday use, you will not feel a difference, and nothing is lost by having it.
SOCD stands for simultaneous opposing cardinal directions. It decides what happens when you hold two opposite movement keys, such as left and right strafe, at once. Instead of the character stopping dead, SOCD handling picks a winner, commonly the most recent press, so direction changes are clean. AULA does not spell out which rule the F87 uses. Here it works on standard hot-swap mechanical switches rather than needing a magnetic board.
Mod-Tap lets one key do two jobs: tap it for its normal character, hold it to act as a modifier such as Ctrl or Shift. Toggle latches a state on and off with a single press, useful for shortcuts or game functions you want to hold without keeping a finger down.
The battery is where the F87 Pro V2 stands out among AULA's screen and display boards. Its 10000mAh cell, which AULA labels as true capacity, is larger than the 8000mAh fitted to the F99 Max and the L99. AULA does not give a runtime in hours, and the board's lighting is extensive, so treat the figure as a larger tank rather than a promise of a set number of days.
It connects three ways: plugged in over USB-C, through its 2.4GHz receiver, or by Bluetooth, and it can link with up to three devices.
A TKL layout drops the number pad but keeps the arrows and the full navigation cluster. That shortens the board noticeably compared with a full-size keyboard, bringing the mouse closer to the centre of your body. For games with wide mouse sweeps, the extra room matters.
The board also has a 49-LED dot-matrix display for a live audio spectrum or custom GIFs, a 360-degree light zone, a gasket structure with seven dampening layers, and hot-swap sockets throughout.

In typing, no. In fast games, it trims the reporting delay between your keypress and the PC, which competitive players value.
It settles what happens when opposite direction keys are held together, so your character changes direction cleanly instead of stopping.
Mod-Tap gives a key a second job when held; Toggle switches a function on or off with one press. Both save finger movement.
The width of the number pad, which lets the mouse sit closer to your keyboard hand.
It is the larger of the two: 10000mAh against the F99 Max's 8000mAh.
Yes. Every socket is hot-swappable, so switches can be replaced without soldering.
