What Makes the Aula HERO84 HE Different?

The Aula HERO84 HE provides an ultra-fast 8,000 Hz polling rate paired with a 128 kHz scanning rate and configurable actuation down to 0.01 mm, giving it a type of performance that is comparable to renowned gaming keyboard brands. Moreover, it offers an 84-key 75% boat-shaped frame, a choice of aluminum alloy, FR4, or carbon fibre mounting plates, and five layers of sound-dampening, making it feel much more premium than its price. 

Packaging & Unboxing

The HERO84 HE comes in a complete black box with the keyboard’s name written on the front in white text with a cyan background and a small logo in the top right corner. Turning it around, on the back of the box, it lists some notable technical specifications in different languages along with the usual manufacturing information.

Box Contents

Opening it up, you’ll first see the quick operation guide along with the manual card. Beneath them, you’ll find the HERO84 HE wrapped in a plastic sleeve with a dust cover on top. Right above it, you’ll notice two different sections that have the accompanying accessories in them. Here is the list of everything that you’ll find inside the box:

1. Aula HERO84 HE
2. Dust Cover
3. USB Cable
4. User Manual
5. Quick Operation Guide
6. 2-in-1 Keycap and Switch Puller
7. Replacement Switches
8. Extra Keycaps
9. Screws
10. Wrist Strap

Design

Aula gives you a variety of color options to choose from, as the HERO84 HE comes in White Purple, White Contours, Pink (Side Printed), and Purple Light variants. Each one has its own unique design philosophy. The one I am reviewing here is the white-purple variant that has its legends printed on top of the keycaps, unlike the rest. At first look, it gives off a clean, simple vibe.

The overall design leans more toward minimalism rather than flashiness. They didn’t go heavy on aggressive gamer accents or unnecessary curves. Instead, it’s got a straightforward rectangular frame, which they call an ergonomic boat-shape with softly rounded edges. I also like how balanced the proportions are. The bezels are adequate, the key spacing feels natural, and the layout has a clean flow to it.

Layout

Speaking of layout, the HERO84 HE follows a 75% one with 84 keys in a tight, space-efficient design that still keeps all the necessary keys where you need them. Here, you’ll get your arrow keys, function row, and navigation buttons without the numpad taking up extra space. It’s compact, but not cramped, which is preferable if you have a smaller desk or prefer a minimalist setup.

Personally, the 75% layout has always been my favorite. Before switching to it, I was using Aula’s Epomaker x Aula F108 Pro, a full-size keyboard that they co-developed with Epomaker. That keyboard is great for productivity and gaming alike, but moving from it to the new one felt surprisingly easy. The key spacing and placement are so well thought out that the transition barely took any adjustment time.

Wrist Strap

The HERO84 HE has a small cutout on the left side, shaped like a small anchor point, where you can attach the wrist strap. Aula has included the strap and a small set of screws in the box so you can attach it to the side of the keyboard if you want to use it. It’s not often that you see it on most keyboards.

The wrist strap itself is made of a soft, woven fabric that feels well-made. Its color scheme complements the purple-and-white theme of the keyboard, blending in nicely. It is mainly here for portability, which is handy if you move your keyboard around a lot. Once attached, it gives you an easy way to carry the keyboard without pressing on the keys or gripping the edges awkwardly.

Underside

Flipping the HERO84 HE over, the bottom panel has a solid finish with a smooth texture. There are four pill-shaped rubberized feet on each corner, which do a great job of keeping the keyboard in place on your desk. Even when I was typing fast or gaming aggressively, it didn’t slide around. Additionally, you also get a pair of adjustable kickstands that let you choose between two different typing angles.

There are two larger stands, and within each of them, there’s a smaller one that folds out. It’s a thoughtful implementation that gives us several options to choose from depending on our comfort level. In the center, you’ll notice a metal plate with some generic product information etched onto it, surrounded by a subtle bit of Aula branding.

Build Quality

The HERO84 HE is built with an ABS plastic chassis, but it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy in any way. The frame feels durable, and when you pick it up, you can tell it’s well-put-together. It weighs 0.91 kg and has a nice bit of heft. The keyboard measures 322.05mm long, 138.95mm wide, and 42.51mm tall, with a front height of 1.8cm and a back height of 3.3cm.

Even though the case is made from plastic, there’s very little flex when you press or twist it. The body feels sturdy and solid, and nothing rattles when you move it around. Adding to its rigidity, the keyboard features two slim metal decorative plates put along each side of the frame. They not only give it a subtle industrial accent but also help the overall structure in place by keeping everything tightly held together.

Keycaps

The HERO84 HE has gone with high-quality PBT keycaps, made through dual-shot injection molding. These have a dense, matte texture that feels premium and long-lasting. There’s none of that expression of slippery shine that might develop over time, which means it should hold up nicely even after months of daily use. They’ve also gone with a Cherry profile, which I personally prefer. I find it helps reduce finger fatigue during long sessions.

The legends have a neutral font and are evenly printed, and because of the double-shot construction, the typeface won’t fade or wear off over time. The color combination they chose for this, with purple legends on white keycaps, looks fantastic. Except for the ESC and Enter keys, which flip the color scheme with white legends on purple keycaps. They also included extra replacement keycaps for the spacebar and arrow keys, both in purple if you want more color on the keyboard.

RGB Lighting

The HERO84 HE has per-key RGB backlighting with south-facing LEDs, giving each key a bright and even glow. The lighting looks especially good on the white keycaps, as the way the colors bounce off the surface makes the whole keyboard look well-balanced rather than overdone. Moreover, it has an RGB lightbox that is placed on the top edge, which is a translucent strip in purple. The lightbox is packed with 36 LED beads, and it produces a soft, ambient glow that complements the rest of the RGB lighting.

It helps extend the RGB presence beyond the keys, creating a sort of neon-bar look that adds more color to the desk. You can fully customize it as well by changing colors, effects, brightness, and speed using various FN + key combinations. Lastly, the legends on the keycaps aren’t see-through, so you might have some trouble typing on it if you are heavily reliant on seeing your keyboard while you type, as light doesn’t come through the characters. 

Switches

The HERO84 HE comes equipped with Black King magnetic switches. They are pre-lubed from the factory, and you can definitely feel that right away. The keypress is incredibly smooth and consistent, without the scratchiness you sometimes get from dry or poorly lubed switches. On paper, these switches have a trigger force of 33±5gf and a bottom-out force of around 53±5gf, which places them on the lighter side.

The total travel distance is 3.4±0.1mm, with an adjustable actuation point that can be customized. In terms of sensitivity, these switches operate within a magnetic flux range of 85±15Gs to 480±60Gs (on a 1.6mm PCB). This indicates that the magnetic sensing is quite precise, ensuring reliable actuation every single time, even during rapid inputs or light presses. Lastly, there’s no light diffuser built into the switch housing, so the RGB lighting doesn’t shine directly through the keycaps.

Connectivity

The HERO84 HE is a wired-only keyboard that connects through a braided USB-A to USB-C cable. Its quality itself feels durable, which is a good thing since it tends to take the most wear over time. Aula deserves some credit here for including a high-quality braided cable instead of a basic rubber one. If that’s a dealbreaker, you might want to look at some of the best wireless gaming keyboards. Moreover, you’ll find the USB-C port on the left side in one of the metal decorative plates right below the wrist strap attachment point.

Generally, the placement is a bit unusual, since most keyboards have their connector up top. However, it kind of makes sense here because they had to make room for the RGB light bar, which is placed at the top, so shifting the port to the side feels like a fair trade-off. For this, they made the USB-C cable L-shaped or angled, which makes it easy to connect to the sideways port and helps prevent any awkward bends.

Typing Experience

Typing on the HERO84 HE feels genuinely enjoyable. The switches actuate lightly and consistently, giving every keypress a quick response. Once I was used to how sensitive they were, I noticed my typing speed naturally picking up. Aula has included five dampening layers, which are evident in the sound and feel. When you press a key, you don’t hear that hollow echo you sometimes get with cheaper boards. Instead, it’s soft, muted, and satisfying.

Breaking it down, we have the keycaps and switches sitting on a positioning plate, followed by a PO sandwich foam, fiber switch base pad, and a sound-dampening pad layered above the PCB. Underneath that, there’s a bottom foam, a molded silicone pad, and lastly, a thick rubber base. Moreover, it has a tray-mount structure and several mounting plate options. You can choose between aluminum alloy, FR4, and carbon fiber plates. The one I have here uses the aluminum alloy plate, and it gives the keyboard a firmer typing feel.

Performance

The HERO84 HE has an 8,000Hz polling rate and a 128KHz scanning rate. This results in practically zero lag or input delay, which is a must-have for competitive gamers. The switches are magnetic, so they don’t rely on traditional metal contact points, and their adjustable actuation points range from 0.01mm all the way to 3.4mm. You can customize exactly how deep you need to press before a key registers. Aula also claims 0.01mm RT precision, and while that sounds almost too specific, it does provide noticeable responsiveness.

The keys react instantly and reset the moment you release them, which makes things like quick double-taps feel incredibly quicker. Lastly, the instant key release detection makes movement feel snappier, like pressing “A” and “D”, which I have tested during counter-strafing in Valorant. Lastly, it has full anti-ghosting, so no matter how many keys you press at once, every input gets registered cleanly.

Software

The HERO84 HE uses a web-based software instead of a traditional downloadable driver. Personally, I think that’s a great step forward. Historically, Aula’s older software versions weren’t exactly known for their stability, and some users even reported security concerns, so not having to install anything directly on your PC is a huge relief. You only need to open it in any Chromium-based browser, and you’re good to go. The software itself is clean, responsive, and fairly intuitive.

You can create and save different profiles depending on what you’re doing. For instance, one for gaming and another for productivity. Moreover, it gives you access to all the important settings, like RGB lighting customization for both the light bar and key backlights, macros, key remapping, and most importantly, adjustable actuation points for every single key. Lastly, there’s also support for some advanced features like Rapid Trigger, SOCD handling, Dynamic Keystroke, and many more.

Should You Buy it?

Buy it if

✅ You want a premium typing feel: It provides a buttery-smooth typing experience thanks to its pre-lubed magnetic switches, multiple dampening layers, and tray-mount structure.

✅ You prefer hassle-free software: The web-based driver lets you customize actuation, lighting, and macros without downloading anything on your PC. 

Don’t buy it if

❌ You need wireless connectivity: It is wired-only, as it doesn’t offer any Bluetooth or 2.4GHz option. 

❌ You want see-through legends: The keycap legends are not transparent, meaning RGB lighting won’t shine through the typeface.

Final Verdict

After spending time with the Aula HERO84 HE, it’s clear that they are trying to step up their game in the magnetic keyboard scene, while keeping the price competitive as well. If you’re after a high-performance, fully customizable keyboard that doesn’t break the bank, it’s honestly one of the best options out there right now.

The keyboard is responsive, flexible, and delivers a level of control that mechanical keyboards at this point rarely offer. I think Aula might have outdone themselves here. If you’re curious about how it compares, check out our full roundup of the best magnetic gaming keyboards.

I recently reviewed Aula’s collaboration with Epomaker, the Epomaker x AULA F108 Pro, which left me curious to see what Aula could deliver completely on its own. They seem to be expanding their offerings by trying to bridge the gap between budget and entry-level enthusiast peripherals. So, let’s take a closer look at what it brings to the table from its design and switches to how it actually performs in day-to-day use.

What Makes the WIN68 HE Max Different?

Compared to the adjustable actuation of 0.02 mm for the simpler Aula WIN68 HE, this Max version brings Hall Effect magnetic switch actuation precision down to even 0.01 mm in Beast Mode. In terms of layout, the 65% size with 68 keys keeps the compact footprint without compromising usability with dedicated arrow keys, which many 60% or 65% keyboards exclude.

Packaging & Unboxing

The Aula WIN68 HE Max comes in a minimalist all-black box. The front side is kept simple, featuring only a small Aula logo in the top left corner, along with its name printed in white, with a soft cyan background that adds contrast against the dark background. Other than this, there’s not much else written on the front or the sides. Turning over the box, you’ll find a few technical specifications printed in several languages.

Box Contents

When you open the box, you’ll find a manual and a quick action guide placed on top of the keyboard, which is positioned underneath them, wrapped in a thin plastic sleeve and covered by a plastic cover. It is a nice accessory to have and is what I look for in an unboxing, as it keeps it safe from dust. Right above it, the included box contents are divided into two small compartments, each coming in a tearable or reclosable plastic pouch. Here is the list of everything that you’ll find inside the box:

1. WIN68 HE Max
2. Dust Cover
3. USB Type-C Cable
4. Multilingual User Manual
5. Keycap Puller
6. Replacement Switches
7. Wrist Strap
8. Installation Screws

Design

The Aula WIN68 HE Max is available in three colour schemes, including grey-yellow, white-blue, and black-red. I received the black-red variant for the review, which I think looks better than the rest. The red and black color combo gives off this look that reminds me of PewDiePie’s signature wavy red-and-black pattern. What’s really fascinating is the detailing, where the keyboard is black, you’ll see thin red abstract lines.

In contrast, where it’s red, you’ll find black lines running through it. It creates this almost mirrored pattern that looks interesting from every angle. Another small detail I appreciate is that Aula made most of the bottom part of it red, which balances the entire color scheme well, especially since the top section is entirely black, providing enough contrast.

Layout

The Aula WIN68 HE Max has a 65% layout and includes a total of 68 keys, which I believe could be one of the best middle-ground designs available for many. With it, you don’t need to deal with the size of a full keyboard, but you still get most of the essentials, including dedicated arrow keys and a compact navigation cluster. Everything looks well-positioned, and for most people, it would feel comfortable.

That said, this would come down to personal preference. In my case, I’ve got slightly larger hands, and smaller layouts like this one take me a bit of time to adjust to. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it is a bit difficult to transition, as I type a lot and work with spreadsheets daily. For instance, the arrow keys are placed fine, but I do find myself having to move my hand a bit further toward the right edge whenever I want to use them. 

Portability

The Aula WIN68 HE Max has dimensions of 321 x 109 x 37.6 mm, which are small enough to fit inside most backpacks without occupying much space. This compact footprint makes it helpful for gamers who frequently attend LAN events or tournaments. Due to its smaller size, it’s easy to move around for its intended purpose, and it doesn’t feel like you’re carrying anything heavy. 

One additional convenience is the wrist strap attachment point located on the left side of the keyboard, which is a pretty thoughtful one. The strap itself doesn’t come pre-installed, so you’ll have to attach it manually. However, once it’s attached, it makes carrying it a lot easier. It’s made from a mix of cloth and pleather, which you can loop around your wrist.

Underside

On the underside of the Aula WIN68 HE Max, you’ll find four pill-shaped rubberised feet on each corner that do a solid job of keeping it stable on the desk. It didn’t slip around during my entire usage. On the downside, one thing that some users might notice immediately is the absence of adjustable kickstands. Many, especially those who type for longer hours, prefer to adjust the angle for better comfort.

Without those kickstands, you’re stuck only with the default typing angle. However, it’s not inconvenient for me. Even with my larger hands and the compact size, I got familiar with its ergonomics after a short period of use. Having said that, I can definitely see this being a minor inconvenience for someone who prefers a more tilted position, as it somewhat limits flexibility options. 

Build Quality

The first thing I noticed when I picked it up was the well-balanced weight distribution. It weighs around 0.7 kilograms, so it’s got enough heft to make it feel sturdy. There’s little to no flex when you press or try to twist the frame, which gives off a good impression of how well this keyboard is put together. This is thanks to its case structure, which follows a tray-mount design and is executed adequately.

The case material is made from ABS plastic, a relatively common material used by many manufacturers. However, it still doesn’t have that thin, creaky feel due to its metal positioning plate at the top. Lastly, the material used on the underside is what Aula refers to as a thick rubber bottom shell, and it feels pretty nice in the hands. 

Keycaps

The Aula WIN68 HE Max has included PBT keycaps. They use two different manufacturing techniques for these, namely PBT two-color injection molding and PBT five-sided thermal sublimation. The former ensures that the legends are molded from a second layer of plastic. This makes them far more durable, as they won’t fade or scratch off even after heavy usage. 

Whereas the latter adds extra depth and consistency of color to each keycap, giving them a more detailed finish compared to simple one-sided printing. Moreover, Aula also opted for side-engraved sublimation legends. Instead of being printed on the top surface, they’re engraved on the sides. If you’re someone who likes looking down at your keyboard while using it, this design might feel awkward.

RGB Lighting

The RGB lighting on the Aula WIN68 HE Max is evenly diffused, complementing the keyboard’s design, especially with the black-and-red variant. It features south-facing RGB LEDs, which help the light shine more evenly towards you and minimize interference with specific keycap profiles, such as Cherry-style ones. Now, because this variant features side-engraved keycaps, the legends allow the light to flow through them from the sides.

Fortunately, the legends remain clearly visible in dark environments, with a subtle glow that does not overwhelm brightness. Similarly, the visibility doesn’t decrease much in bright conditions either. Moreover, it supports 16 million colors, so you’ve got endless customization options to play with. Lastly, you can also toggle through a bunch of preset effects directly from the keyboard using different key combos.

Switches

The Aula WIN68 HE Max is equipped with Wing Chun Magnetic Switches. They feature an actuation force of 36gf and a bottom-out force of 49gf, giving them a light and snappy feel that’s suitable for fast typing and gaming alike. With a total travel distance of 3.4 ± 0.1mm, they provide enough depth to feel satisfying and respond instantly to even the lightest touches. It supports an accuracy of up to 0.02mm, which can be fine-tuned to 0.01mm in Beast Mode.

It also features full-key hot-swappability, meaning every single switch can be swapped out. This gives you the option to customize your typing experience by trying different switch types, whether you prefer something lighter or heavier. Lastly, Aula has also included plate-mounted stabilizers, which come factory-lubed right out of the box. For those who want extensive customization, you might also be interested in our guide to the best custom gaming keyboards.

Connectivity

The Aula WIN68 HE Max provides a wired-only connection using a detachable USB Type-C cable. While many enthusiast brands provide wireless connectivity along with wired, Aula only focused on one. From a performance standpoint, the wired connectivity makes sense. It ensures no input lag, which is great for competitive gaming, as you won’t have to worry about battery life or signal drops.

That said, I do wish Aula had also included a wireless option here. The compact layout and lightweight build make this keyboard ideal for portability, so having Bluetooth and wireless connectivity would’ve made it even more travel-friendly. If your priority is a cable-free keyboard, you may want to explore our roundup of the best wireless gaming keyboards. Lastly, the USB-C port is located on the left side of the keyboard.

Typing Experience

Typing on the Aula WIN68 HE Max feels outstanding. The switches provide every keystroke with a buttery-smooth feel, as there’s no scratchiness. The motion is consistent throughout. They’re light enough to type on for hours without fatigue, but not so light that you end up with accidental presses. Sound-wise, the board produces a more clicky, clacky tone with a slightly hollow character, rather than a deep thock.

Aula paid attention to acoustics here by adding the PO sandwich cotton and PO bottom cotton layers inside the case, which do help dampen some vibrations, but don’t completely remove that hollow resonance. They smooth out some parts of the overall sound profile and reduce the worst of the ping you sometimes hear in plastic-bodied keyboards. Nevertheless, the tone still leans toward a sharper click. It has a sound that some users might like, while others might find it a bit loud compared to a muted thock.

Performance

The Aula WIN68 HE Max comes with NKRO and anti-ghosting, which means every single keypress registers independently, even if you press several keys at once. During testing, I didn’t run into any missed or stuck inputs. It also features an 8,000Hz polling rate, a 4,000Hz key scanning rate, and latency as low as 0.2ms, which provides a near-instantaneous response. The keypresses felt immediate, with no perceptible delay between pressing a key and seeing the result on-screen.

It also supports a variety of advanced features, including RS (Rapid Switch), DKS (Dual Key Switching), MT (Multi-Tap), TGL (Toggle), MPT (Multi-Press Timing), and SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Key Detection). Each of these functions customizes how your keys behave, giving you faster actuation, smoother combos, and more control over every press. All of them come together to make it feel incredibly responsive during gameplay, whether it’s fast movements in FPS titles or accurate input timing in fighting games.

Software

Unlike most gaming keyboards that rely on downloadable software, the Aula WIN68 HE Max takes a different approach, with its software being entirely web-based. That means you don’t have to install anything on your PC, as you only need to open Aula’s site. Through the web interface, you can access all the customization options. Once you’re in, the software interface is divided into different menus. Here, you can create up to four profiles.

However, one minor inconvenience is that the keyboard needs to be reconnected after switching configurations, which slightly interrupts the flow. The various menus allow you to adjust their respective settings, including lighting, performance, custom key, advanced key, macro management, and firmware updates. They are well-structured, and once you get familiar with their UI, it’s easy to navigate between them. However, I did notice some rough English translations here and there, but functionally, everything works as expected.

Should You Buy it?

Buy it if

✅ You prioritize responsiveness and accuracy: With its 8,000Hz polling rate, 4,000Hz scanning rate, and ultra-low 0.2ms latency, every keystroke feels instant. 

✅ You prefer a compact layout: The 65% design offers a compact footprint without sacrificing arrow keys, which provides a nice balance between form and practicality.

✅ You want a feature-packed Hall Effect Keyboard: It provides magnetic switches, rapid trigger functionality, and zero dead zones with outstanding performance. 

Don’t buy it if

❌ You need wireless connectivity: It only offers a wired connection, so if you need wireless support, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

❌ You want ergonomic adjustability: It lacks adjustable kickstands, so if you prefer adjusting your typing angle, this might feel a bit restrictive.

❌ You rely on top-printed legends: The side-engraved PBT keycaps can be difficult to read, especially for those not used to blank-style layouts.

Final Verdict

After spending enough time with the Aula WIN68 HE Max, I can confidently say that the brand has made a genuine effort to provide a keyboard in a more serious enthusiast space, and it has done a lot right here. It gives off a more premium vibe than you’d expect at its price range. The black-and-red colorway looks bold, the build feels sturdy, and the Wing Chun Magnetic Switches deliver a satisfying, clicky-clacky experience that feels responsive.

Moreover, impressive features such as adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, and zero dead zone make it suitable for competitive gaming, especially in FPS titles. Typing is a mixed bag depending on what you prefer. The sound profile leans more toward a crisp, hollow click than a deep thock, but it’s consistent and doesn’t feel cheap. Aula has definitely leveled up their game with it, and if this is the direction they’re heading for, I’m genuinely excited to see what comes next.
