The AULA AG75 is heavy for a keyboard at about 1.5kg, but it travels fine in a padded bag for LAN day. It weighs about 1532g without the cable and measures 319.8 x 143.8 x 42.1mm, so plan for the weight rather than the size. Its Evetech warranty runs 2 years.
LAN day packing is a balancing act. The PC or laptop takes priority, then the headset and mouse, and the keyboard often gets whatever space and weight allowance is left. The AG75 makes that harder than most, because its aluminium case brings it to roughly one and a half kilograms. The question is whether a heavy aluminium keyboard for LAN use is practical, and the answer is yes, with a little planning.
Yes, the AULA AG75 travels fine in a padded bag, but plan for its weight rather than its size. Its 319.8 x 143.8 x 42.1mm footprint slots into many laptop compartments, and the scale reads roughly 1532g with the cable left out. Protect the anodised aluminium case in a sleeve or wrap, pack the USB-C cable separately, and expect the extra mass to keep it rock-steady on a crowded LAN table. Expect to pay R2,399 to R2,799 for an AG75 at Evetech, depending on edition and colour.
About 1532g, not counting the cable. That weight comes from the full CNC aluminium case, carbon fibre plate and six internal dampening layers.
For comparison within AULA's own 75% boards, the HERO 75 HE is listed at about 980g and measures 313 x 139 x 43mm. So the AG75 is only slightly larger in footprint, but over half a kilogram heavier. In a bag, that difference is noticeable on a long walk from the car park, less so on a short hop.
At just under 32cm long and about 14cm deep, the AG75 is shorter than many 15-inch laptops. Several places can work:
The height of 42.1mm is the dimension to check, since thin laptop sleeves may not close around it.
The case is sandblasted at 220 grit and anodised, which is tough, but metal edges still pick up dings when they knock against a buckle or a PC case. Simple protection goes a long way:
The AG75 is a wired board connecting over USB-C, so its cable is the one thing you cannot forget. A detachable lead also means nothing is left dangling from the keyboard while it is packed. Roll it loosely, tuck it into a side pocket, and consider carrying a spare in case the venue's tables leave you further from the PC than usual.
At the table, the weight becomes a benefit. A 1.5kg board does not creep across the desk under hard play, and elbows bumping it will not knock it off line. Your settings, from Rapid Trigger to SOCD, are set in AULA's web HUB, so do any tweaking at home before you leave.
For anyone who wants something smaller, AULA's WIN68 range is a 65% layout with 68 keys, though AULA does not list its weight.
A 2 Years Local Warranty travels with the AG75 too. Browse it alongside other gaming keyboards at Evetech, while the keyboard best sellers page at Evetech shows how it lines up against popular boards. See the product pages for pricing.
