New gaming keyboards rarely move the needle, but the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 is an enthusiast keyboard that comes with a mainstream price.
I didn’t expect much out of the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96. The company impressed me earlier this year with the ROG Azoth, but the Strix Scope II 96 looked like a regression; a cheaper gaming keyboard designed for the mainstream, devoid of the enthusiast flair the company displayed with the Azoth. I’m happy I was wrong.
Related The switch closely mimics a Cherry MX Red. It’s a linear switch with an actuation force of 40 grams, but the actuation point and reset point are identical, allowing you to fly across the keys with ease. Factory-lubricated switches don’t always feel the best, but the NX Snows feel shockingly good. At least part of that is due to the Krytox 205G0 lubricant Asus uses — the gold standard for enthusiast-grade keyboards.
Expensive but competitive What really makes the Strix Scope II 96 shine, though, is its price. It’s $180, which isn’t cheap for a gaming keyboard, but it’s leagues ahead of what you’ll find with other brands. The aforementioned Corsair K70 Pro RGB is the same price, and not only does it sound worse, it doesn’t support wireless and it lacks hot-swappable switches. Oof.
A few issues that are easy to overlook That doesn’t mean Asus’ new keyboard is above criticism. It’s the best option you can find for $180, but I have a bone to pick with the keycaps. They don’t feel or look great, and they’d be the first thing I would replace on the Strix Scope II 96.
