AULA HERO 68 HE 60% Gaming Keyboard Wired, Hall Effect Magnetic Switch Keyboard with Adjustable Actuation, Rapid Trigger Mode, 8K Hz Polling Rate, 0.125ms Latency,Side Printed PBT Keycaps, RGB Backlit

This is it! My keyboard hunt is over. I’ve tried a bunch of HE boards as well as mechanical. I own a Wooting and this keyboard is right there with it. I regret spending $200+ on Wooting and Razer boards. The only semi-downside is the software (which is web based at least). It’s not horrible but it’s not as clean as Wooting. The board sounds and feels great. 8k hz and super responsive. No weird double inputs. Good quality Hall effect keyboard at an amazing price for the performance.

The media could not be loaded. First things first.... This isn't a 60% Keyboard, it's a 65%It's acknowledge right in the title 'Hero 68 HE' as it has 68 Keys = 65% Layout.(✿◠‿◠) Moving on.TLDR; It's fine, better if you catch it on sale. It has some neat things that can be done given that it's using Hall Effect switches, It's on the lighter side at 746g (1.64lbs), it's How swappable, feels alright, and it's compact. But it has it's fair share of trade offs. Like as I'm typing this I still haven't managed to tune the board and stop all double inputs. And Firmware is Flagged bigtime so it ads extra hoops to just through.↪ Key Switch: Leobog Ashwood MagneticsIncluded Key/Switch puller toolThe included cable feels slightly thicker than standard cables.Alright, The Positives:• The Keys deliver a Thacky/Thocky sound, though some keys could use some dampening o-rings.• The Ability to adjust key press sensitivity and travel distance, Rapid trigger, dead zones, etc.• The board feels overall well built, LEDs are bright and south facing.• It uses a web portal instead of a downloaded GUI for customizing, meaning you don't have to have another bloaty application on your computer.The Cons:• It uses a web portal instead of a downloaded GUI for customizing, Meaning that in the lack of immediate internet access, an internet outage, or is suddenly AULAs website were to go down or become blocked by ISPs, there's no easy way or any way at all to edit the keyboard settings.• The firmware• No adjustable feet on the bottom.• The lightbar was a neat gimmic for like 5 mins, but when you're actually using your computer or you have the lights in your room on, it's hardly noticeable at best.• No media controlling knobLastly, a few deal breakers probably for many:» In many competitive games, SOCD is considered ban-able so you'll want to remember that.» The BIG one..Upgrading the firmware is done through their portal, it's an exe, it's also super Heavily red flagged by Anti-Viruses and other forms of defender programs/Web Browsers/instances.This is those anti-virus programs doing their job perfectly fine, because when it's telling you that the exe in question is a KeyLogger among other things it's not wrong. You can set Macros via the web portal, and to Record Macros... you need to record Key presses aka Key log. It takes a few extra hoops to go through if you want to update the firmware whenever it's available but it's a thing that you gotta do. I'll include a screenshot of what I mean by Super red flagged just as an example.I'd wait for a sale before considering this one. But if you're desperate for HE and don't care for a beautiful Knob on the side then go for it.

I have been into mechanical keyboards and for years and have spent an absurd amount of money on group buy builds, switches and keycaps. The main keyboard I've been using is north of $600 fully built and since I got the Aula 2 months ago, i haven't touched any of my custom boards. This is by far, the best option I've seen under $100. Hall effect magnetic switches are the future and this is not only a good intro into the hobby but a solid board for any user. The hardware is very well made and I really like the more advanced version of this keyboard but even this one is a joy to use. Very clacky and crisp keystrokes. The layout is the common 6.5u spacebar and standard size shift and bottom row for most aftermarket keycap options to fit. The stabilizers are above average and the magnetic switches arr crisp and adjustable through the Aula app. Less debounce, super fast refresh rate and multiple macro type adjustments can be made with magnetic switches. The RGB face is really cool looking and I love the south facing diodes for the best presentation. Looks really good with pudding or shine-through front facing legends. Similar look and layout to the Wooting keyboard but for a fraction of the price. Highly recommend giving this board a try. I think this might be the best option for any mechanical keyboard at this price point.

This keyboard is seriously impressive. The adjustable actuation with the switches makes a huge difference. It feels super responsive and smooth, whether I’m gaming or typing. Being able to fine-tune the key sensitivity is a game-changer for dialing in exactly how I want it to feel.The build quality is solid, the layout is compact without feeling cramped, and the RGB lighting looks great without being over the top. It’s wired, which I actually prefer for the consistent performance. If you're into customization and want something that feels premium without the crazy price tag, this one delivers.

Really good HE keyboard except the software, my Windows Defender pop up some virus pretty dangerous for your computer. I haven’t seen anything serious but it does open my Microsoft Edge and some Thailand clip.Overall this is a good keyboard, but I’m not recommended download any firmware or software for this keyboard, just using their web software is fine.

Have you ever wanted a decorative lightbar on your keyboard? It’s a fun touch, even if it only feels cool for a little bit. Though, I also wish companies would stop adding the little tag slot on the side—just leave it clean.The AULA 68 HE has been solid for me. The keys feel great for a stock keyboard , the 8K polling rate is super responsive, and I’ve had no issues with double inputs. Setup is done through a web-based config tool.No adjustable feet, and the web driver/tool could use some polish, but overall it’s a great Hall Effect board for the price.
