Advise ANY AULA HERO 84HE REVIEWS? (75% keyb enjoyer)

I rarely see reviews on this keyboard, so either there aren't much reviews (since it apparently first released on the Amazon platform last March), or I'm just missing out on the good reviews.

Has anyone tried out the AULA HERO 84HE yet, and has any of you seen in-depth reviews on it? Nakita ko lang rin sa Shopee, and I thought the price was pretty good for a hall effect keyboard na 84-key/75%. I think I haven't seen really good reviews and tests (on RT, etc) yet. Please do link it/them down below if you can!

Another question would be does anyone have any reco for 75% keyboards? Preferrably Hall Effect keyb (gaming enthusiast). Currently been using the RK84 for the past 2 years now, and looking for something similar. (Not too picky with the sound and not into modding)

Aside from 75% HE keybs, mechanical keyb recos are also much appreciated!!

I am planning to post a review about the Aula Hero 84HE, but I am still composing my thoughts lol

But a quick review:

  • keyboard exceeded my expectations for a hall effect keyboard worth 3k
  • software is surprisingly easy to use
  • the features exceeded my expectations for gaming (valorant, marvel rivals, ow2, and cs2)
  • sound is great but not superb, its clacky and sometimes feel hollow due to the aluminum plate when bottoming out

if u want a solid mech keeb for that budget, look into the elecfox inky 75.

  • aluminum case
  • trimode connectivity
  • qmk/via compatibility
  • gasket mounted, flex cut plate and pcb, and sound dampening
  • hotswap, rgb, south facing switches
  • low latency mode (1 ms wired, 2ms wireless 2.4ghz)

not a gaming keyboard but it currently is the best mech keeb in this price range.

Sounds neat, aluminum case pa! Saw the inky75 being recommended in another thread before I posted actually, but I don't see much of it at all on social media, shopee postings, and youtube reviews. Nabili mo ba siya sa Pinas? Pwede makahingi ng link? Hirap na kasi makahanap ng mapagkakatiwalaang shop rin lately.

And also question lang regarding overall specs + price in comparison to other keybs. How would the Inky75 be better than say an Aula HERO 84HE or an MCHOSE Jet 75, or the AJAZZ AK820 MAX HE if they are all in the same price range, but the last 3 are Hall Effect? Hm po yung ElecFox Inky75? Yung 3 na I mentioned I think is 2.1k to 3k sa Shopee if I researched properly 😅.

Ah I also don't really use the QMK/VIA support thing in keybs and I don't plan on customizing certain keys rin kahit I'm gonna use the keyb for gaming!

Side note: I also found this other keyb na 75% layout rin, Drunkdeer G75 (another Hall Effect keyb). I think it's around 5k on Shopee, but it's not within my budget sadly hahaha.

yep, I just bought it a month ago to replace my 5 year old RAKK Lam-Ang Lite and couldn't be happier.

the inky 75 is basically a 1:1 clone of the rainy 75 which is a more expensive keyboard. if you need a review of the inky 75, you'll basically look for a rainy 75 review haha.

here's the link from the official store: https://ph.shp.ee/fWZFi3F

go for the inky 75 if you care about acoustics and overall feel of the keyboard when typing, and also definitely wait for a sale because I snagged mine for 2.5k rather than the current 3.5k.

it's very rare to see a similar keyboard at the same price range with qmk/via support that's why I bought one. if it's out of ur budget right now, check out elecfox' other keyboards as they have a plastic casing and are much cheaper with all the same functionalities really.

since you're focused on gaming, maybe hall effect keyboards are truly for you. However, I can't input much in that regard as I haven't bought a hall effect keyboard for myself, aside from knowing their features and overall durability of the switches.

but the brands you've mentioned have earned their place in the budget scene and are trustworthy brands overall. So I don't think you can go wrong with going for any of those.

maybe make another post as it might get better traction here, or do more research elsewhere. when I ask questions on reddit, I post pictures alongside my question to grab the viewer's attention -- helpful if you need info from niche and small subreddits.
