The AULA HERO 75 HE reaches 8000Hz on its cable and 2.4GHz receiver, while Bluetooth runs at 125Hz. Bluetooth is built for wide device support and low power rather than high report rates, so AULA keeps it for pairing up to three devices. You will find it at Evetech.
Read the AULA HERO 75 HE's specification and one line stands out: 8000Hz wired, 8000Hz on 2.4GHz, 125Hz on Bluetooth. That is a sixty-four-fold difference between the fastest and slowest modes on the same board. It is not a flaw or a cut corner. It reflects what each connection is built for, and understanding it helps you pick the right Bluetooth versus 2.4GHz link for each job.
Plugged in or on the 2.4GHz receiver, the AULA HERO 75 HE reaches 8000Hz; over Bluetooth it runs at 125Hz. Bluetooth is designed for broad device support and low power rather than high report rates, so AULA keeps it for pairing up to three devices like laptops and tablets. For games, use the cable or the receiver. Evetech carries the HERO 75 HE at R899.
Polling rate is how many times a second the keyboard sends its state to the device. At 125Hz, the HERO reports 125 times a second over Bluetooth, which works out to one report every 8 milliseconds. At 8000Hz over the cable or receiver, it reports 8000 times a second.
For typing an email, 125 reports a second is more than enough; nobody types fast enough to outrun it. In a fast game, though, a key press may wait a few milliseconds longer for its turn to be reported, and for players tuning magnetic switches down to fractions of a millimetre, that wait works against everything else the board does.
Bluetooth was built to connect almost anything to almost anything: phones, tablets, laptops, TVs, from many makers and generations. To make that work, it prioritises compatibility and battery life over speed. Devices negotiate how often they talk, and the host device has a say, so a keyboard cannot simply demand thousands of reports a second from a phone or tablet.
A dedicated 2.4GHz receiver avoids those limits. It is designed to talk to one keyboard only, on terms AULA controls, which is how the HERO sustains 8000Hz wirelessly. The trade is that the receiver must be plugged into the device, while Bluetooth needs nothing extra.
Bluetooth earns its place on the HERO for everything that is not a game:
The HERO's Mac mode, Fn with S, and Windows mode, Fn with A, make it easy to move between systems over Bluetooth.
On paper, the USB-C cable and the 2.4GHz receiver match at 8000Hz, and the magnetic features (Rapid Trigger, finely stepped actuation, SOCD, DKS) behave identically on either. The cable has two practical advantages: it is immune to radio interference, and it removes the battery from the equation. The receiver gives a cleaner desk.
If you ever load a game while the board is still on Bluetooth, you might notice movement feels less crisp in a fast title. Switching to the receiver or cable before playing is a good habit.
The HERO is a 75% board with 84 keys, an 8000mAh battery, and magnetic switches that are hot-swappable. All three colourways, black, orange and green, come with a 2 Years Local Warranty that Evetech administers. Compare it in Evetech's gaming keyboards range, or look over the keyboard best-seller page.
125 times a second, roughly once every 8 milliseconds. The cable and receiver report 8000 times a second.
It is designed for compatibility with many devices and for low power, and the host device shares control of the timing.
Typing, browsing and calls on up to three paired devices, especially ones without a free USB port.
Both are rated at 8000Hz. The cable avoids radio interference and battery concerns; the receiver keeps the desk clear.
Bluetooth is ideal. 125Hz is far more than typing needs.
Possibly, in fast games. Movement can feel less crisp, so switch to the receiver or cable before playing.
