5.0 out of 5 stars Best keyboard on the market, hands down.
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
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!

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024
Was able to get this delivered the same day (within 5 hours) was properly packaged. Easy to use, literally PnP, synced with armory crate and updated smoothly. Can also be controlled with Windows dynamic lighting. Make sure if your using armory crate to disable dynamic lighting. If your using dynamic lighting for other peripherals then armory crate wont work for the keyboard while DL is enabled. <---was not an issue for me i figured it out pretty quick. Keyboard sounds really nice and feels great to type. RGB is nice and bright, and the spacebar swap was simple. The Dongle and keyboard both can receive firmware and regular updates via armory crate. Its nice that there is support for the dongle itself. I have had a few wireless KB in which there was no support for the dongle and once it malfunctioned or bugged out the keyboard was DOA. Great item and ill be purchasing again for my daughters pc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best "out-of-the-box" Mechanical Keyboard
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024
Build quality is superb, and the keys are very sturdy. I am actually using this with a Mac, and I was able to reprogram all the function keys to make them work perfectly as well. A lot of other "stock" keyboards rattle, and the keys move around, but not this one. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quality mechanical keyboard. Of note, the model I have has the linear keys with the snow-white switches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality, key switches, and range
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024
I'm stuck on my couch for a couple months with a broken leg. I bought a generic wireless mouse and keyboard and returned them after 1 day. I then purchased these as I use an ASUS ROG motherboard and graphics card already. Both the mouse and keyboard were very easy to set up and use. I am using them in the room next to my office without any issue. Typing is very smooth and the switch action is very responsive.. I'm very happy with them both. (Mouse is ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse)

4.0 out of 5 stars perfect for no typos, but lack of reliable customization
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
The feel of the factory switches are amazing. I love the curve on the key caps. Definitely mod the internal part for less of a clank sound on the space bar. Not worth the price ($150) if you're looking for absolute customization without hassle.

I'm disappointed on a well known brand to fail to meet expectations on their customization software. There are two softwares to download. One for the macros, and the second for the lighting customizations. The Aura Creator fails. After several times trying to troubleshoot on my own. Reddit users also reported the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good keyboard.
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024
Keys feel nice, very long battery life, good quality of the product. Offers a lot of stability when typing.

I got it on discount so I consider it good value for my money.

I'm used to more clicky keys, coming off an optical keyboard, but this one has nice sound and feel (I got the Snow keys). Certainly considered if you like thocky but not very loud keys.

Very impressive keyboard! Asus makes decent gaming stuff. The only thing that sucks is the software. I bought a razor keyboard and ended up returning it and keeping this one. I've had it since Nov 2023 and it's been holding up really nice. Great for gaming
