■ Pursuing 'Response Speed' and 'Feeling' Required on the Forefront of Esports
In the rapidly growing global esports scene, the response speed and stability of input devices, along with the tactile feedback felt by the fingertips, are crucial elements that directly influence player performance. To meet these stringent demands, AULA focuses daily on optimizing product structure and improving hardware performance. In recent years, models equipped with 'magnetic (Hall effect) key switches,' which are gaining attention primarily among FPS players, detect key inputs via non-contact magnetic sensors. This achieves improved input accuracy and an overwhelmingly smooth, high-sensitivity operation while minimizing physical wear. Furthermore, by employing CNC-machined aluminum alloy cases for high rigidity and tuning keystroke sounds using a multi-layer structural design, they aim to achieve both performance and a pleasant feel. With vibrant RGB lighting and a variety of customization features, it is possible to build an ideal desk environment tailored to each player's style.
■ Feedback from World Championship Achievements into Product Development
AULA actively engages in sponsorship and team support for the pro esports scene. The 'AG' team, sponsored by AULA, has won the world championship at the renowned esports tournament 'CFS (CrossFire Stars),' proving its capabilities even in the harsh competitive environment of professional play. Valuable feedback obtained from tournaments and pro players is consistently utilized in new product development.
