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.

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.

After the few days of using it, my impressions are way beyond my expectations before I bought it! it's so well made and typing on it feels so pleasant. It's sounds kind of muffled and even quiet, like when you close car doors. For me it's the Rolls-Royce of keyboards, and what surprised me it's reaction times are so fast, that I can tell and I didn't even realize that you can notice this with keyboard. I've used cherry reds, blacks and my recent one was a kailh brown and in comparison all of them are in my opinion a piece of old tech junk. If it passes the test of time I might even buy myself a backup one. There are some people that complain about the red switches being to soft, but I really like them and I'm glad there's no bump like with browns, its so much easier for my fingers. I wouldn't even mind them to be softer but as it is is spot on. In one word this keyboard is perfect in my view. In the beginning I didn't like the volume scroll wheel as it's not gripping well enough but I just use it differently, than on my previous keyboard, I'm grabbing with two fingers.

Feels amazing, looks amazing, works great, havent had an issue! NX Storm keys are loud, but I love the feel, I have a heavy hand. Would highly recommend getting it, especially if you have an asus motherboard using armoury crate, easy control!

Pretty much just got this keyboard so keep that in mind. Got a returned keyboard and all but the keyboard was still wrapped/taped up. So I'd say it was a good gamble to save considerable money. I don't know much about keyboards and all the different types of keys. These blues seem nice. I don't need clicky clacky sounds but this keyboard isn't too loud.I'd say it is worth what I paid, as long as it holds up OK. I like that you can lock on the function key so you can do a little media control. My kids like the bright backlight.

Only one thing I’d change about this keyboard is I’d like it to have a USB pass through for my headset, the USB port on the keyboard is a great place for the wireless headset transmitter. The Logitech keyboard I previously used had a USB pass through & it was pretty handy. Overall, I like how it looks and integrates into the whole ASUS ROG theme. Colors are vibrant and the keys have a real nice feel to them. At this price point, it’s a good choice, and performs very well.

I purchased the NX Snow model after reading many reviews on Reddit, Amazon, YouTube, etc. This keyboard has to be one of the most satisfying keyboards I've used. The sound the keys make is awesome, the action is incredibly smooth, I mean, It beats both my previous RK KLUDGE, and Corsair keyboards. I like finding any excuse I can to type (like this review lol) just to feel the keys :'D. My only real qualm is the software really isn't the most intuitive & is a bit bulky feeling. If you are coming from clicky keys it may take some time to adjust to the linear action as the activation point is very sensitive, but, It makes touch typing so enjoyable.
