5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Key Functions
The AULA HERO 68 HE is a 60% keyboard, meaning some functions are accessed via a combination of keys (Fn layer). Refer to the keyboard layout for specific key combinations.
5.2 Backlight Control
The keyboard features MULTICOLOR backlighting. Use the dedicated function keys (often Fn + a specific key) to cycle through lighting modes, adjust brightness, and change colors. Detailed instructions for lighting customization are available in the optional software.
5.3 Magnetic Axis Switches and Adjustable Trigger
The magnetic axis switches allow for precise control over the actuation point. This means you can customize how far you need to press a key before it registers an input. This feature is typically adjusted via the dedicated software, allowing you to set different trigger points for different games or tasks.
5.4 8KHz Polling Rate
The 8KHz polling rate means the keyboard reports inputs to your computer 8000 times per second, significantly reducing input lag. This is particularly beneficial for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts.
