ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard, Tri-Mode Connection, Dampening Foam & Switch-Dampening Pads, Hot-Swappable Pre-lubed ROG NX Snow Switches, PBT Keycaps, RGB-Black

As a gamer, but also a casual user, I don’t want a keyboard that has 0.00001ms response time and 0.0001mm of actuation; I want something that’s useable. I want something that I can play games on, as well as actually use my PC as a computer without having to switch keyboards or make a million typos. This keyboard does all of that. Everything about this keyboard is perfect. There are so many little things that are so well thought out it just amazes me how other brands don’t do this. For $159, this keyboard is on the pricy side, but in my opinion it is well worth it. I’ve had maybe 10 gaming keyboards in the past 2 years, and let’s just say that I’ve done my fair share of returns. But this keyboard I’ve kept. Some things I like about this keyboard are: - it sounds nice and not cheap at all - the keycaps feel nice to type on and they don’t wear out, and the font is very readable and the RGB shines through nicely - how lighting profiles are also ON-BOARD PROFILES (aka, whenever you switch to use the keyboard with another device, it’ll save the last used lighting preset. Random tangent but I don’t know why more companies won’t do this with their keyboards, it’s not that hard, and in my opinion, that’s how keyboards should be! - the controls are easy to learn - the size is compact (maybe 1/2 an inch wider than a standard TKL keyboard) - the lighting effects are pretty, vibrant, bright, as well as being very customizable - the wireless and battery life both work great (I use my keyboard wired anyways) - easy to type on if you’re used to mechanical keyboards. If you’re used to something else, such as a laptop keyboard, it’ll take some getting used to as is with any mechanical keyboard There isn’t anything that I don’t like about this keyboard. Everything is just there, and everything works great!

Pros: -I love the slim compact design of this keyboard it looks and feels amazing right out of the box. -The keys are really fun to type on it's what I like most about the keyboard they're smooth but not loud. I came from a linear keyboard because my wife complains about red switches when she's trying to watch TV in the same room but the dampeners with this keyboard keeps it quiet enough but still feel similar to red switches. -The battery life is outstanding the fact that it lasts so long and also automatically hibernates after not touching it for a while till you type on it again is perfect for me because I work from home and I already have enough wires so having a wireless keyboard that I can easily move around and not have to charge frequently is a win. -I love that you don't need to download Asus Armoury Crate for this keyboard to work that you can still change the color theme and make adjustments to it without having the software because I hated having Razer Synapse software just to be able to have different lights on my keyboard. -The wrist rest is actually perfectly designed it looks and feels amazing and although at first I wondered why it stood above the keyboard itself it actually is in the best spot when you're typing on the keyboard. Cons: -When switching over from a full size keyboard it does take time to get use to where some keys are like the arrow keys feel out of place as well as the essential keys like Home and Del button you have to keep rechecking where the keys are to press them. -I didn't like the swappable Asus branded space key even though it looks nicer and I would much rather use it's design it's more bulky and sticks out above the keys in front of it. I'm not sure why they didn't stay with the same size as the default one. -Although it's not a big deal I don't like that there is 4 options for the media scroll wheel that you switch between. I would much rather it only be Play/Pause/Forward/Back + Volume control and swap between those 2 rather than having the lighting and macro as part of it. I'm not sure if this is an option to remove them in the Asus Armoury Crate but I refuse to download it even though I have an Asus Motherboard I always avoid it because it's slow and buggy and I have iCue synced with my motherboard lighting and it will mess it up.

Me gusto mucho el teclado, es muy comodo la almohadilla que trae (ya no tuve que hacer doble compra). La batería le dura mucho y eso utilizando todo el tiempo el rgb. Quede muy satisfecho por mi compra.

I rarely write any long reviews but this keyboard deserves a standing ovation! Initial Impressions: Upon unboxing the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II Keyboard, I was immediately struck by its sleek design and the quality of materials used. The keyboard feels substantial, and the matte finish combined with the striking RGB backlighting promised a blend of aesthetics and functionality. The setup was straightforward, connecting flawlessly to my gaming rig with minimal effort. Build Quality & Design: The durability of the Strix Scope II is evident from its solid aluminum frame which provides stability and a premium touch. The RGB lighting is brilliantly executed, offering a spectrum of colors that are both vibrant and customizable through an intuitive software interface. Key Performance: The mechanical switches under each key are a highlight, providing that perfect tactile feedback without the loud clicking noise often associated with gaming keyboards. This makes the keyboard suitable for both gaming marathons and quiet night sessions. Wireless Connectivity: The wireless functionality is flawless. You can choose between Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz wireless connection, and I’ve experienced no lag or disconnections during gameplay. Battery Life: Battery endurance is stellar. With extensive daily use, I find myself only needing to charge the keyboard infrequently, which is a significant improvement over other models I’ve used in the past. Extra Features: The inclusion of a Stealth key is ingenious, allowing for instant privacy and focus by hiding all apps and muting audio with a single press. The extended Ctrl key also proves to be extremely useful, enhancing comfort and functionality in games requiring extensive use of control commands. Final Thoughts: This keyboard exceeds expectations in every aspect, from its aesthetic design to its peerless performance. It's a perfect 5 out of 5 stars from me, for transforming my gaming and daily typing into a more delightful experience. Worth every penny!

Deben saber que vengo de usar el RAZER blackwidow chroma de hace 5 años very clicky. Este nuevo teclado ASUS es una gran experiencia, tiene buen peso y puedes manipular los switches de conexion sin sostener el teclado, el sonido del tecleo es espectacular, muy exquisito. Tiene plastico y metal, de muy buena calidad. Las teclas tiene una textura muy exquisita, me gusta que es hotswapable y lo podre modificar despues si quiero. Pero por el momento estoy muy satisfecho, el wireless es muy rapido y tambien lo uso con mi iPhone con el cual tambien funciona muy bien. Esteticamente es muy compacto y me encanta, ahorra mucho espacio a pesar de ser de 96%. Lo unico con lo que estoy batallando un poco es la posicion de algunas teclas, pero me estoy adaptando rapido. Algo que tambien note es que me equivoco mucho menos al escribir. Muy recomendado. La bateria dura semanas, considerando que elegi el RGB solo prenda cuando estoy tecleando. Muy contento con mi teclado y eso que ni siquiera me he metido a utilizar las funciones de la aplicacion. Saludos.
