ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 96% Full-Size, Tri-Mode Connectivity, Hot Swappable Pre-lubed ROG NX Snow Linear Switches, PBT Keycaps, RGB, PC/Mac Support-Black

(Snow Linear, Black) Honestly worth the hesty price. This keyboard is Amazing. First of all, The plastic Keycaps are smooth and doesn't feel cheap, Second the Switches are prob a 10/10, Sounds amazing and Pre-lubed too. Third the Wireless connectivity via the 2.4hz USB works flawlessly and has no noticeable latency in my hour of gaming. The software is good too. Fourth, You can check the battery percentage without needing to plug into a laptop. Which is such an amazing feature. And finally, Fifth, The overall build quality Is amazing. With the top part of the keyboard being metal this feels like it can last a decade. Would Highly recommend to others.

Absolutely loving the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless! The layout gives me a great balance between a compact design and having all the keys I actually need. The typing experience feels smooth and satisfying, and the wireless connection has been reliable with no noticeable lag while gaming. The build quality feels premium, the RGB lighting looks great, and the battery life has been impressive. Overall, this is an excellent keyboard for both gaming and everyday use. Highly recommended!

This is my first time using a mechanical keyboard and honestly, I can confirm this feels incredible right out of the box. ASUS definitely did not disappoint with the quality. The keyboard has a solid weight to it and feels extremely well made and premium. I absolutely love the design and aesthetic, especially the 96% layout. I truly believe 96% is one of the best sizes for both gaming and productivity because you still get almost all the keys from a full-size keyboard while saving plenty of space for your mouse. One thing that really surprised me was the battery life. I played wirelessly for two days, around 3-hour sessions each day, and the battery only dropped by 1%. That honestly impressed me a lot. The RGB lighting is also super bright and vibrant. I really don’t have anything negative to say so far. I got it at a great price, and it honestly feels like one of the best investments I’ve made for my gaming setup. The aluminum plate feels premium, and the sound of the keyboard is amazing. I also ended up really liking the included wrist rest, something I originally thought I wouldn’t need, but it turned out to be very comfortable and useful. I’ve also played around with Armoury Crate a little bit and had no issues with it. It seems functional and easy enough to use.

The keyboard itself is amazing. Build quality is excellent, the keys themselves are buttery smooth and have a pleasing sound. Mine is attached via USB-C but having the option of Bluetooth and wireless are nice to have. Coming from a full-sized keyboard I was initially worried about going to a compact "96%" layout, but I completely adapted to the smaller layout in ten minutes. The software, however is a real sticking point. I thought other reviews were exaggerating about the awfulness of the Armoury Crate software, but if anything they undersold it. You have to register to access full functionality and even then, the Aura Sync feature is utterly broken, which means you're limited to basic, one layer RGB effects. After around 4 hours of troubleshooting I gave up and switched to third-party RGB software and it works great. At the sale price, this keyboard is a great buy as long as you understand the software to control its lighting does not work.

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!

This board feels great, sounds great, and works great. I got it to use between two systems and being able to switch between the different modes is easy. It works with both my Mac and PC and has good Bluetooth compatibility as well. Why only 4 stars?! Their software is bloatware. I cannot load per key RGB lighting and save profiles to the board like any modern quality keyboard can in this price class. Asus needs to entirely rethink their software suite and consider how customers use their products and want to use their products. They are big enough to solve this problem. If you don't really care about doing anything with this keyboard's lighting then you'll enjoy the use of it.

I wanted a keyboard that had BT, RF and wired connectivity, and backlight with long battery life. on paper this keyboard met that criteria. I had a Logitech G515 and was not impressed on first opening. it had a laughable battery life, and you cannot change anything (lights, etc) without logitechs software, and you can't read the keys without the light on! Coming from the logitech, when i opened the package of the Asus ROG Strix Scope II keyboard, my only words were WOW! Packaging was excellent and top notch, the keyboard was firm, keys sounded great and the lighting is amazing! It is also a fully size keyboard (keys) in a 96% footprint! The sound of the keys are muffled but very pleasant and great feel. the function combination of the keys is very easy and the keys are very easy to read. (Even with the LEDs off! lol) You can easily change the colors and functions on this keyboard without the software which is exactly what i was looking for. if you use the software you can do even more! All around this keyboard is fantastic, and it puts the logitech keyboard to shame at about the same price. Too soon to tell on the battery life but on paper it is 1500 hours. (the logitech is 36! lmao) I am very happy I got this keyboard and highly recommend this keyboard if you are considering a wireless option for games or office!

Build quality is sturdy and premium, and I love that it looks sleek without being over the top gamer-y. If you're looking for a wireless mechanical keyboard that delivers on both performance and looks, this one’s a solid pick. The snow keys I got sound amazing, almost makes me want to type just to hear how satisfying it is. I tried the storm keys as well but I didn't really like the clicky sound that some gamers love, so i kept this one ( though the feel of the storm was still very nice. I paired it with a ROG Keris wireless mouse and I can pair them both to the same Omni Dongle that is included, so its super convenient to only have to worry about one usb port being used on my laptop (though i can easily flip and switch on the back and go fully wired with the provided usb-c when a competitive game calls for it. Also has a Bluetooth mode if you aren't bothered by the slight latency that it inevitably happens with any BT device. At this point I've only ever been impressed by Asus's ROG line and I will be sticking with them for years to come. I cant speak to the longevity of the battery life as I've only been using it for about a week but I can say that a single charge lasts me multiple days of heavy use and I'm sure if it could go for a week or more with less usage and lower rbg brightness. Each of the 5 stars is greatly deserved. I'm sure Ill be using this keyboard for years.

one of the best if not the best for gaming and productivity. premium and quite very long battery life lasts for weeks and all around a 10/10 feel and weight and build quality

Best keyboard I've ever used till date. Thank you very much for the premium experience while gaming. Battery life is humongous btw.

The ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is a gorgeous keyboard with a robust, premium texture. Its 96% layout and smooth NX switches make it absolutely perfect for office work, coding, and fast-paced gaming. The only downside is that it lacks support for the Armoury Crate Web version (Gear Link). Fortunately, it redeems itself with the ROG Omni Receiver, allowing you to pair both this keyboard and a compatible ROG mouse to a single dongle.

This is easily the best keyboard I've ever typed on. It feels so fluid and clean you can confidently type without looking at it. The colors are nice and vibrant but if you want more than Asus' Aura Sync download Signal RGB. It has waaay more customization options. (You will need to use the wired connection for it). Its pretty much a full keyboard in the compact size of a regular one. It's also quiet to use, typing is not obnoxiously loud or distracting. Highly recommend! Highly recommend for anyone looking!

Absolutely great build quality and responsiveness. While having keys that do feel a little squished compared to a 100% keyboard I have actually noticed an improvement in my typing speed and accuracy. If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard that feels good, sounds good and has a satisfying scroll wheel I can strongly recommend.
