ASUS ROG Strix Scope II Gaming Keyboard, pre-lubed ROG NX Storm clicky Mechanical switches, Sound-dampening Foam, PBT doubleshot keycaps, Streaming hotkeys, Multi-Function Controls, Wrist Rest

This keyboard is wired, has a low cost, and has the brightest rgb ive seen on a keyboard (with no underglow almost) since the Logitech G910 Orion Spark. The shinethrough on the keys is dead center of the key. No shift text is on the shinethrough which looks incredibly clean in the dark. The ROG RX Red switches are better than any switches ive felt. They have more preload (the spring force pushing they keys back up) is far better than any other keyboard ive felt. No key wobble at all. Optical switches have instant response. PBT keycaps have just enough grit and dont feel like sand. Volume wheel has a function key to switch to media keys and other things. Volume wheel is itself a push button. Media keys would have been better but this makes up for it. The only bad thing at all, is the wrist rest, is not plush. They sell a plush one seperatley. Isnt magnetic to this particular keyboard but still works well. Most keyboards feel like your fingers are sinking in quicksand compared to this. Im very suprised this keycap style has not gotten more traction. It's amazing. Buy it. I'd like to add that i've had no problems with the software, yet. I do know how the software can be for these things but have had no issues.

Firstly I would like to say, its amazing to have manual options to control the keyboard with like the lighting, macros, pause/play/skip.. Everything works WITHOUT software, i have yet to even download the optional software suite for this and I dont plan too either, it simple works wonderfully just on its own, its very intuitive and easy to use. Keys feel great lighting looks good and is easy to control Build quality is up to par with your expected Asus ROG product It is a little pricey but compared to what you get with the competition at this price point, I would take this keyboard again!

This is not just a keyboard. It's like being in heaven. I've never had a keyboard look this good, bright, feel this good, or even sounded this good before! Yes the price is big but once you feel the keyboard in person, it's truly life changing. It's silky smooth and super responsive. The sound is so good. So nice with the hand stand that's magnetic! 10/10 I recommend it VERY much.

I'm coming from many years of typing on a heavy tank-like Razer Black Widow with clickety green switches. When the keys went bonkers so that one letter hit produced 4 repeats of the same letter, I replaced the Razer with a Das Keyboard 6 Pro with clickety blue switches. I loved the Das Keyboard because it was big at 18 inches across (though not as heavy and tank-like as my old Razer). However, after 3 years the Das Keyboard showed signs of age with the keys getting too much shine, I decided to take the shiny Das Keyboard to work and for home use get the Asus Rog Strix with Snow Linear switches. There is an audible clicking sound but the medium pressure needed is excellent for long-term typing. I write a lot for my job. Also, the textured keys are of high quality--PBT doubleshot keycaps--so I hope they don't get worn out with that dreaded shine. The keyboard itself is 17 inches across, a full inch shorter than my 18-inch Das Keyboard. I prefer the larger size. A heavy, large keyboard gives me a commander at the Mothership feel at my computer. But at this price point, this is close enough. Final note: The magnetic wrist attachment isn't much of a pad. It is a slightly padded block, and I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it or not. In any event, I could spend more than double on a new Razer Blackwidow V4, and I'm not sure that would benefit me for the money. I'm not a gamer. I'm a writer who likes to feel mechanical typing on a big keyboard tank. This is close enough and has an excellent build quality to earn a high recommendation.

I've been using the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II RX for about four months now, and overall, it’s been an excellent experience. The keyboard feels incredibly solidwith the PBT keycaps as a nice touch. The overall design is clean, but without being over the top. I appreciate the dedicated media controls and the customizable RGB lighting, which is bright and vibrant without being overwhelming. After four months of daily use, I haven’t run into any issues. No key chatter, no connectivity problems, nothing. If you're looking for a high-quality gaming keyboard that delivers on both performance and build, the ROG Strix Scope II RX is a strong choice.

Having tried both this and the wireless Scope ii, there are a few differences worth mentioning: 1. The switches on this version are NOT hot-swappable. So if that's a deal breaker for you, you'll have to go for the wireless version and spend a bit more. 2. I don't know if this is common to wireless vs. wired keyboards, but the RGB lighting is much brighter on this compared to the wireless Scope ii. 3. Obviously this is a full sized keyboard whereas the wireless version can only be had as a 96% form factor. The 96% was not hard at all to get used to, so it really comes down to preference. 4. There is a difference in the sound of the two keyboards. The wireless version is quieter and more muffled. So if you value less noise, the 96% version is probably for you. Both sound great but the wired version is more "clacky"? 5. The wrist rest has no soft padding. 6. The included cable is rubber vs. a braided cable on the 96%. Overall, I think Asus pretty much nailed it. There are some things with the Armoury Crate software that could be better flushed out, but that can be improved over time. Everything else about the design and feature set should tick most boxes for most people.

Great tactile feedback and very responsive for gaming. The build quality feels solid, and the RGB lighting is vibrant and easy to customize. It’s a significant upgrade for my setup

The keyboard was nice for the five months it lasted. When one of the keys stopped responding (under warranty), I pursued the RMA process through ASUS. This company has received flak for its awful RMA process, and claimed it was changing it. I am sorry to say there is no change. Initiating a self-serve RMA is, either intentionally or through incompetence, impossible. There is a separate "Check your warranty" and "Submit a warranty request link" since I obviously want to type a 15 digit serial number twice. While the first one confirms the warranty is valid, the second states "INVALID SERIAL NUMBER" with no explanation given beside that. Chat support tells me I should make an RMA and sends me the same link. They then manually create an RMA since the same error shows up. I am directed to a link to purchase a shipping label for 1/3 of the cost of the damn keyboard. I tell the rep this is silly and they give me a free label out of courtesy. I check the packing instructions and it is literally a 2 page document which instructs me to take detailed photographs, wrap the item in 3 inches of bubble wrap, use fabric reinforced tape, use double corrugated cardboard to pack it. They say any shipment in an envelope will be immediately returned with no repair. I should stress that my keyboard came to me new from amazon IN AN ENVELOPE, and I have never seen fabric reinforced tape used for anything other than giant appliance shipments. It also stresses that if I put ANYTHING in the box other than the item, even the USB cable, they will throw it away. If I want it back I can beg them and they will make me pay for return shipping. Then, they want me to manually write the RMA on the package and on a slip of paper inside. As if they didn't just electronically produce a document that had the RMA in it. Every step of the process represents a purposeful barrier to discourage people from sending their trash products back that break under warranty. Virtually every other company I have dealt with will autogenerate a packing slip, (FREE) shipping label, and sometimes even send return packaging. Never purchasing an ASUS product again. Well done guys. Kudos to the chat support rep who helped guide me through this awful process that the probably hate too.

As a 62 year old guy who has been typing and gaming for as long as home computers have been around, and a naval radio operator and technician I have literally typed on 1000's of keyboards. The feel of the keys on this keyboard is the best I have experienced so far. The feel of these ROG RX optical switches is perfect.

Nice keyboard, but key caps feel cheap.

Excelente teclado, lo mejor que he probado, las teclas son muy suaves, muy buena respuesta, el RGB es muy bueno, la calidad de los materiales son excelentes.

Estaba buscando un teclado que tuviera tanto las teclas como el teclado numérico, pues además de jugar también necesitaba que funcionará para trabajar, fue una muy buena decisión, en este caso yo adquirí el que venía con los red switch, debo decir que el sonido es genial, es hasta relajante, en cuando al tiempo de respuesta en juegos la verdad no tengo ninguna queja, ni si quiera es necesario oprimir la tecla hasta el fondo y ya hay una respuesta bastante rápida del mismo, además que los modos de iluminación están bastante geniales, puedes configurar macros (aunque esta opción aún no la pruebo del todo), en apariencia y comodidad esta bastante bien, si no te importa tener un teclado por cable la verdad es una muy buena opción, lo único que le haría falta tal vez es que fuera un teclado en español, sin embargo gracias al teclado numérico puedes usar el ascii para suplir todas esas teclas faltantes sin ningún problema. No se como funcione con los otros tipos de switch pero si quieres unos que tengan una sensación relajante y no muy ruidosa los switches rojos son una muy buena opción.

Je viens d’acquérir le clavier de jeu ASUS ROG Strix Scope II et je suis globalement très satisfait de cet achat. Voici mes impressions après l’avoir utilisé pendant plusieurs semaines : Qualité de fabrication et design : Le ROG Strix Scope II est un clavier robuste avec une finition premium. Les touches sont agréables au toucher, et le châssis en métal brossé lui confère un aspect élégant et résistant. Le design est moderne et compact, tout en offrant une grande stabilité pendant les sessions de jeu intenses. Les touches mécaniques sont très réactives, offrant une sensation de frappe fluide et précise, ce qui est parfait pour les jeux rapides. Performances et confort : Le clavier est incroyablement réactif et fluide, avec une réponse rapide à chaque pression de touche. J'apprécie particulièrement les switches mécaniques, qui assurent une frappe précise et silencieuse tout en étant très confortables, même après de longues heures de jeu. La barre d’espace large est aussi un plus pour le confort général, et les touches supplémentaires (comme le contrôle du volume et les macros programmables) sont vraiment pratiques. Personnalisation et éclairage RGB : Le ROG Strix Scope II propose un éclairage RGB entièrement personnalisable via le logiciel Armory Crate. Les effets lumineux sont superbes et offrent un large éventail de possibilités pour personnaliser le clavier selon mes préférences. Cependant, le logiciel Asus pour gérer ces personnalisations pourrait être amélioré. Il manque parfois de fluidité et peut être un peu capricieux. C’est dommage, car il n’est pas aussi intuitif et facile à utiliser que d’autres logiciels de personnalisation que j'ai pu tester sur d'autres marques. Ergonomie et extras : Le clavier est équipé de touches supplémentaires qui permettent une personnalisation pratique, ainsi qu'un repose-poignet confortable pour des sessions longues sans fatigue. Le ROG Strix Scope II est également très stable grâce à son poids et à sa base antidérapante, ce qui assure une utilisation sans souci pendant les jeux ou le travail. Conclusion : Le ASUS ROG Strix Scope II est un excellent clavier de jeu avec une réactivité impressionnante, une construction solide et un éclairage RGB magnifique. Son seul bémol vient du logiciel Asus, qui pourrait être plus fluide et plus facile à utiliser pour la personnalisation. Si vous cherchez un clavier performant et agréable, je le recommande vivement, mais avec la réserve que la gestion du logiciel pourrait décevoir certains utilisateurs.
