CES 2026: Magnetic Switches Go Mainstream & 8K Hits Its Stride – AULA Redefines Peripheral Experience

While the global gaming peripheral market has been stuck in a specs-driven race toward homogeneity, AULA offered a breakthrough at CES 2026. As a seasoned participant at CES, the brand shifted focus to what truly matters—meeting the practical needs of both professional gamers and everyday users. With a mature magnetic switch ecosystem, real-world-ready 8K response systems, and a full-scenario product lineup, AULA demonstrated that true innovation lies not in gimmicky features, but in precise, user-centric execution—setting a new direction for peripheral experience innovation. On the show floor in Las Vegas, every flagship product showcased AULA’s technical strength and deep understanding of player needs.

Magnetic Switch Technology: From Niche Innovation to Industry Benchmark

The evolution of gaming peripherals has always centered on three core demands: faster response, greater durability, and higher performance. Magnetic switch technology represents a systematic breakthrough beyond the limitations of traditional mechanical switches—using the Hall Effect to enable contactless triggering, effectively solving issues like oxidation, wear, and latency inherent in mechanical designs. At CES 2026, AULA signaled that magnetic switches have moved from niche innovation to widespread adoption.
Flagship models like the AG60 and AG75 magnetic keyboards exemplify this progress. Equipped with fourth-gen Hall sensors, they achieve an average trigger latency of just 0.1ms (0.08ms in MAX configurations)—5–8x faster than conventional mechanical switches. These aren’t just lab numbers; they’re proven under real-world use by millions of users. The AG75, for instance, saw 3,000 units sell out in one minute, reflecting strong market demand for extreme responsiveness. Its innovative dual-mode structure allows instant switching between soft-tactile and crisp-linear feels, delivering precision up to 0.001mm and ultra-fast response ideal for competitive gaming.
If the AG60 and AG75 represent the peak of magnetic performance, the F75—with over 2 million units sold globally—has become a mainstream phenomenon. Its latest iteration at CES 2026 brings wireless connectivity, high response speed, and extended lifespan to the broader market, marking the industry’s entry into a mature phase of magnetic switch adoption.
Further pushing the boundaries, the Hero99 magnetic keyboard offers 0.005mm Rapid Trigger adjustment precision and a 128,000Hz key scanning rate, meeting pro players’ demands for consistency. Meanwhile, the AG series integrates pro-player tuning data into "Champion Presets," allowing everyday gamers to apply elite configurations with one click—embodying AULA’s philosophy of "gaming alongside players".
AULA’s R&D investment—exceeding ¥50 million annually—has built core advantages in sensor sensitivity, trigger-curve tuning, and noise-dampening structures. Compared to competitors, AULA magnetic switches not only achieve ultra-low latency but also incorporate 6-layer sound absorption and Gasket mounting, balancing speed with a satisfying "HIFI acoustic experience." JD.com data shows magnetic keyboard sales surged 225% YoY in 2025, with premium models (¥1,000+) growing 410%—positioning AULA as a key player in this expanding segment.

8K Response System: Beyond Specs, Focused on Real-World Usability

The pursuit of higher polling rates in gaming mice once led to an arms race—often at the expense of battery life and CPU load. AULA’s X9 and V9 flagship mice series redefine 8K polling with a practical, user-first approach.
The X9 features a top-tier 42,000 DPI sensor and native 8K polling (0.125ms response), but its real innovation lies in dual-mode compatibility and power efficiency. Both wired and wireless modes support 8K polling, ensuring pro-level responsiveness whether in esports tournaments or daily use. In games like VALORANT or CS, this means precise tracking, flick shots, and micro-adjustments sync seamlessly with player intent—bridging the gap between human reaction and machine response. Thanks to proprietary power-saving algorithms, the X9 maintains reliable battery life even at 8K, striking a balance between performance and practicality.
The V9 series also embodies this pragmatic ethos. With a 42,000 DPI sensor and 8K polling support, it allows fine-tuned DPI adjustments (50–42,000) and works with different mouse feet materials to adapt to various gameplay styles—whether wide sweeps in MOBAs or precise shots in FPS titles. As industry analysts note, high polling rates matter most when they serve real player needs without compromising usability. AULA’s 8K implementation delivers exactly that.

Interaction Innovation: From Tool to Full-Scenario Companion

Today’s users expect more from peripherals—not just functionality, but personalization, multi-scenario adaptability, and smart interaction. AULA’s CES 2026 displays highlighted this shift, turning peripherals into intelligent desktop companions.
The L99 keyboard features a 3.98-inch IPS touchscreen that replaces the numpad with customizable interfaces like a calculator, GIF display, or shortcut panel—boosting efficiency for content creators and office users. Combined with a Gasket mount and 7-layer sound-dampening foam, it offers a quiet, tactile typing experience while saving space and enhancing usability across work and play.
The Nova75 focuses on style and convenience with a 1.14-inch smart display, metal dial, and per-key RGB lighting supported by millions of micro-diffusers for a smooth "liquid galaxy" effect. Its hot-swappable switches and 6-layer noise reduction also make customization easy, appealing to users who want both aesthetics and performance.
For all-around productivity, the F108 Pro V2 offers a full-size layout, 10,000mAh battery (a week of use on a single charge), and dual 8K support—seamlessly transitioning between office tasks and gaming sessions. Available in modern colorways like milky coffee and gradient pink, it blends into any setup while expressing personal style.
Together, these products reflect AULA’s vision: breaking down barriers between scenarios and evolving peripherals into essential partners for work and play.

Conclusion:

At CES 2026, while many brands chased hype around AI and metaverse trends, AULA stayed focused on what truly matters—delivering reliable, user-driven innovation. By making magnetic switches mainstream, refining 8K polling for real-world use, and creating adaptable multi-scenario products, AULA reaffirmed that a global brand’s strength lies not in following trends, but in deep insight into industry fundamentals and user needs. As the tech landscape evolves, products that solve real problems and endure in the market will become lasting brand assets. AULA’s performance at CES 2026—rooted in technical excellence and user empathy—offers a compelling case study in sustainable global growth for Chinese brands.
