ROG Strix Scope RX Gaming Mechanical Keyboard, Red Optical Switches, USB 2.0 Passthrough, 2X Wider Ctrl Key, Aura Sync, Armoury Crate RGB Lighting, Black

OMG. I have had this keyboard for a whole 15 minutes and I'm already here writing a review. I have used probably 25 diff. keyboard in my life, and I can say with 100% certainty: This is the best keyboard I have ever owned. Red Switches... Soft touch feel, not loud, and the sound the keys do make is pleasant. The switch action is SO soooo smooth. It is just soo comfortable. I was previously using the TUF Gaming K7, and it was great, however the keys on that were the loudest thing i have ever heard from a keyboard. Not this guy, quiet, smooth, comfy, i mean... just everything about it. Backlighting is bright, and even. Heavy but not ridiculous metal chassis.. i mean.. AAA+++. I honestly may buy a second to keep in New In Box for when i need it.. $130 on sale for $75 right now???? that's a steal for a keyboard of this quality. wow. another home run by ASUS.

This is a good keyboard. It's responsive and the keys feel good without being super loud and "clicky" the way many other gaming keyboards are. I've been using this daily for the past 4 years and haven't had any issues so far with performance or keys breaking etc. The only thing I find pretty annoying about this keyboard is that only the F1-F4 keys seem to work with most games. All of the others (F5-F12) have alternate uses as the "main" function, so none of them are recognized by default in any games. For some games, I was able to workaround this through aliases and some other things, but for others I simply have never been able to get them to work at all so you lose a lot of functionality/flexibility. This is a somewhat minor thing, and doesn't come into play too often, but when it does it can be a little bit annoying.

I had previously owned a razer keyboard that was clicky, load, and hard to press. I bought the Scope RX and the linear, optical switches actually feel so amazing. They're pretty quiet as well. The stabilizers on the keyboard are cream of the crop and the key caps will not shift/move much. Because they're red style switches, they're really easy to press. Initially, I had problems adjusting to the keyboard and my wpm dropped from around 110-70 but after a day of using, I've adjusted it to 94 wpm with 100% accuracy. RGB on the board is really good and comes with a lot of cool patterns if that's your thing. Overall, the quiet sound, easy presses, and solid build quality of the keyboard is a solid 5/5 from me.

I like the feel of the keyboard, the keystrokes are really nice, you get a lighter sound when hitting keys compared to other mech keyboards. Good weight doesnt feel like a cheap product, and price wasnt bad. Bought a Steel series a week before this one, I shoulda picked up 2 of these instead of the steel series. woulda saved some money. Only thing I dont like is i wish it had a aluminum backplate

Had several mechanical keyboards from Corsair. None of them held up over time or came with the standard features at a similar price as this one! Asus knocked it out of the park with this phenomenal keyboard. The keys are have a slight sound to them but go down very easily with just a hair of tension. It's a pleasure to push in the keys. The keyboard like many other gaming keyboards is fully RGB customizable. This keyboard is also completely waterproof! I didn't know until I opened the box but the keyboard has an aluminum backboard to it which is very elegant and gives the keyboard a premium feel. The keys are all red mx keys. The sound keys, boss key, and play pause skip is all very useful being in the F5-12 spots. As a gamer/business professional I never used those keys anyway. Had several keyboards in my many years of gaming. Not one was nearly as nice as this. Asus should be asking over $200 for this keyboard. I highly recommend it.

I have an iogear KVM HDMI switch and when I first plugged this in, the keyboard did not function at all. When I plugged the keyboard directly into a computer it worked fine. If I plugged the keyboard into the device port on the KVM (already in use) the keyboard worked. I ended up getting a small USB 3 hub to plug both of the plugs from this keyboard, as well as the other device into the hub and the plugging the hub into the device port of my KVM and the keyboard worked properly. I needed to use Armory Crate to program the keyboard (Armory Crate was on 2 of my 3 computers) but I was able to set things up easily. Each computer has the keyboard set up for a different color (seems like the color is completely customizable) so now I can tell which computer is active by my keyboard color. The keys feel very nice and are almost too responsive; I am used to a slopier keyboard where a partial hit did not activate a key so I need to pay more attention to hitting just 1 key. You can hear the keys if you hit them fully until they come to a stop, but if you only touch them lightly, they are almost silent. The keyboard is much heavier than my old Microsoft keyboard so it is very stable and does not slide around as much. I used red, green, and blue as the basic colors for the 3 different computers ands the keyboard color updates shortly after changing the KVM selection. I really am very happy with this keyboard.

This keyboard is super soft on my old man's fingers. I last had a wired keyboard in the late 1990s so this was a tough go-back, but I don't mind the wire and don't mind having to change the batteries out in inconvenient times. I turned my wife onto this keyboard as she is a miser, and absolute cheapo of the highest order and it had such a good feel she relented and tossed her wireless in the trash. Oh, and it is water proof. Ever spill coffee or soda or soy sauce on a keyboard and pay the price? Won't happen with this one. The gaming community gave this one good reviews. I love the gaming community. They know their ****. ;)

The IP57 rating is awesome. The design of the bits that connect the keycap to the switch are not. Only asus sells the replacement key caps, and it's a whole 35$ set to replace the one. If you tend to push down hard on the keys, this keyboard is probably not for you. the little plastic nubs will eventually snap off. mine lasted about 8 months? Would have preferred a generic blank replacement option. would have also preferred the posts had a bit more meat on them so this would not be an issue. I managed to work the broken posts out with a utility razor without much fuss. I guess I am going to need to buy the whole replacement set if the rest of these do start popping off as well.

No lag, very smooth, not loud, feels very solid, looks AWSOME too! Just hope the plastic springs stay reliable, nothing beats metal, but we live in a plastic world and then they make us pay for the plastic world, just use metal damnit, it is recyclabe too!

Bought this a few days ago and currently typing from it, overall the build quality is very good, pretty solid feel and the wire too is like really thiccc, the keys are very responsive, would say a little bit too much responsive than my last keyboard that was like a 1000 rupee one, once you get used to the spacing of the keys and the overall layout, your typing speed will increase substantially. For gaming, it's quite good, definitely stands up and is worth the price. The only thing i am still trying to get used to is the layout because as i said, the keys are a little bit too much responsive, so even a slight bump on another key while typing will add that alphabet.., i think that is something that i need to personally get used to so yeah..

希少な英語配列。 価格を上回る高級感があり、タイプ時のスムーズ感も最高。 ただキーが底打ちする時の音が少々大きく、そこだけが気になります。

Que más puedo decir? Este teclado es de los mejores que te tenido, el único "problema" por así decirlo que se presenta, es que no está en español, pero nada que ponerlo en la configuración de idioma de la PC lo solucione, eso sí, no es recomendable si no está acostumbrado a no mirar el teclado cuando escribes, ya que ya no serían las teclas que están grabadas, sino las del sistema operativo, de ahí en fuera es genial, hay varias críticas que dicen que el cable grueso les estorba (que sinceramente si es extremadamente grueso, llega casi al centímetro de diámetro) pero también es cuestión de que lo coloques hacia atrás de tu espacio de trabajo, es grueso para que se eviten tirones, y también porque es de doble USB, ya que en la parte de atrás viene con una conexión que es recomendable para colocar el receptor inalámbrico de tu mouse. Sus teclas son simplemente asombrosas, no hay retraso, suenan de forma aceptable y son muy elegantes, además de su rgb que cuando lo tienes al programa ARMOURY CRATE y tienes más periféricos ROG, puedes hacer que luzca muy bien y combinen esas luces con el resto de tu PC

I have been looking low noise keyboard. Compared to previous keyboard, typing sound is low and can type well. To change backlight, it is required to download app. Price is lower than retail price. Very satisfied. Thank you
