Look closely at most backlit keyboards and the light comes from one side of each switch only, which leaves the far edge of every keycap a little dimmer. The AG75 lights its keys from both directions. AULA calls it twin-star RGB: LEDs facing north and south, 170 of them in total, with ten set aside for the spacebar alone. That twin-star RGB lighting is less about brightness and more about spreading the glow evenly across each key.

Quick Answer

The AULA AG75's twin-star RGB uses both north-facing and south-facing LEDs, 170 in all, so each key is lit from above and below rather than from one side. Ten of those LEDs sit under the spacebar to light the long key evenly. The result is more even legends and key edges, particularly with see-through caps, and the layout is the same on the AG75 Pro and AG75 Ultra. Evetech lists the AG75 Pro at R2,399 in Shadow Grey and R2,799 in Armor Silver, with the AG75 Ultra also at R2,399.

💡 North-facing, south-facing and why it matters

The terms describe where an LED sits relative to the switch:

  • North-facing: the LED sits on the side of the switch furthest from you, towards the top of the board. Traditionally this lights shine-through legends printed near the top of the keycap.
  • South-facing: the LED sits on the side nearest you. This suits many modern keycap profiles, because it avoids light hitting the side of taller keycaps and keeps glare off your eyes.

Each approach has a weak spot. Light from one side fades towards the other edge of the cap. Using both means the whole key area is covered, so legends and edges glow more uniformly.

Ten LEDs for one key

No key on the AG75 stretches further than the spacebar. With a single light source, its ends tend to look dimmer than its centre. Spreading ten LEDs along it lets the whole bar glow at a similar level, which is where much of the AG75's lighting count goes.

🎨 Showing it off

The keycaps decide how much of that lighting you see. Solid, opaque caps let light out mainly around the edges. Caps with see-through sections, or fully transparent caps, let the light through the key itself.

That is where the AG75 Ultra stands out. AULA fits the Battle Shine Orange Ultra with PBT dye-sub keycaps alongside transparent ones, which put the twin-star layout on display. Under the Shadow Grey and Armor Silver Pros sits an identical 170-LED arrangement, so a transparent keycap set fitted later would show it off just as well.

⚙️ Setting it up and living with it

AULA lists its browser-based web HUB as the software for the AG75, so that is the place to look for lighting options along with actuation, Rapid Trigger and key modes. A few practical tips:

  • Start with a static colour to judge how evenly the keys light before choosing an animated effect.
  • Match the colour to the case: warm tones suit Battle Shine Orange, cooler ones suit Shadow Grey or Armor Silver.
  • If the glow feels too strong in a dark room, try a subtler effect in the HUB's lighting options.

The lighting works alongside the rest of the AG75's build, from the machined aluminium case to the carbon fibre plate, and it does not change how the keys behave.

You will find the AG75 among Evetech's gaming keyboards, where every edition comes with a 2 Years Local Warranty. For a wider view of what buyers choose, try the keyboard best sellers. Evetech's product pages list prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between north- and south-facing LEDs?

North-facing LEDs sit on the far side of each switch and south-facing ones on the near side. The AG75 uses both.

Why does the spacebar get ten LEDs?

It is the longest key, and spreading several LEDs along it keeps the glow even from end to end.

Which keycaps show the lighting best?

Transparent or shine-through caps. The Ultra comes with a mix of PBT dye-sub and transparent keycaps.

Do the Pro editions have the same lighting?

Yes. Every AG75 uses the 170-LED twin-star layout.

Where do I change lighting effects?

AULA lists its web HUB, which runs in a browser, as the software for the AG75.

Will the lighting cause glare?

South-facing LEDs help keep light off your eyes, and a subtler effect suits a dark room.
