The AULA S102 PRO is the one AULA pitches for quiet typing, using a silicone membrane. The AC306 membrane set types quietly too, and for a keyboard with switches, the L99 and F99 Max pair pre-lubed linears with gasket mounts and extra dampening.
Thin walls turn every keystroke into a shared experience. In a flat, a townhouse or a family home with bedrooms along one passage, the clack of a loud keyboard at midnight is the kind of thing that ends friendships. If you type late, the useful question is not which board is best but which one is the quietest keyboard for your situation. Across the AULA range, the answer depends on whether you need switches at all.
The AULA S102 PRO is the one AULA pitches for quiet typing, using a silicone membrane. The AC306 membrane set types quietly too. If you want a keyboard with switches, the L99 and F99 Max pair pre-lubed linear switches with gasket mounts and extra dampening layers, which keeps them softer than a typical mechanical board. Evetech sells the AC306 set for R239 and the S102 PRO for R299, with the F99 Max at R799 and the L99 at R1,099.
A membrane keyboard has no individual switch under each key. Pressing a key pushes through soft layers to complete a circuit, so there is no metal spring leaf to click and no hard plastic stem slamming into a housing. That makes membranes quieter by design.
AULA built the S102 PRO around a silicone membrane in a full-size layout for work. AULA describes the keystroke as quiet and suited to shared rooms and open-plan offices. It also has Cherry-profile keycaps, three typing angles and a number pad, so it is comfortable for long evenings of writing or spreadsheets.
In the AC306 set, the full-size keyboard uses what AULA calls an upgraded membrane, quiet and responsive. Its round retro keycaps make it a friendly choice for a shared bedroom or a study nook, and with no backlight it will not light up a dark room either.
Some people want switches for the feel but still need to keep the noise down. Two AULA boards are set up for that.
Yes, compared with clicky switches. A linear switch moves straight down with no tactile bump and no click mechanism, so the main sound is the key bottoming out. Lubrication smooths the travel, and gasket mounting plus dampening soak up some of that impact. Typing more lightly, without slamming each key to the bottom, also makes a real difference.
The magnetic boards are built for speed, but AULA gives them sound treatment too. The WIN68 HE uses Poron sandwich foam, a bottom foam layer and a thickened plastic shell for a steadier, less hollow sound. The HERO 75 HE has five layers of dampening under an aluminium plate.
Magnetic boards have one extra trick for quiet typing: adjustable actuation. Setting a shallower actuation point means keys register before they reach the bottom, which encourages a lighter touch and fewer loud bottom-outs.
Cover varies across these picks. The S102 PRO, AC306, L99 and F99 Max carry a 1 Year Local Warranty from Evetech, and the WIN68 HE and HERO 75 HE two years. Compare them in Evetech's gaming keyboards category, and if you own a hot-swap board, quieter options may be found in the keyboard switches range.
Generally, yes. Membranes have no spring leaf or hard stem impact, so there is less clack.
