Works excellent!
I got this as a Fatherâs Day gift for my dad. I was hesitant at first because I wanted it to be a good size since he does gaming and has large hands. After ordering this and setting it up, itâs perfect. Itâs very easy to play his games with and also is the perfect size. He loves the color changing lights on the keyboard. It connected really fast to the computer and has had no problems since. This is a great keyboard at a great price.

ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX Gaming Mechanical Keyboard, Red Optical Switches
It was a perfect keyboard. It’s been over 6 months since I received it and I haven’t had any problems yet. The day I first bought it, I said I wouldn’t be able to use it because there’s a high chance you’ll touch the wrong letters. The keyboard was too sensitive. But once you get used to it, I’m sure you won’t be able to use another keyboard. Order now 🙂

It’s perfect!
I only just set it up today, so I’m still getting to know it, but the typing action is super satisfying, I’m very much enjoying my RGB rainbow flow, and it’s the perfect size for my hands. The media keys are super accessible too.I have yet to try to set any macros or anything, but setting it up was super easy. Heads up though, for some reason it uses up two USB ports.

You get what you pay for!
I had been buying cheap keyboards all my life, and now that I’m an adult with adult money, I wanted something nice, so I bought this keyboard. First off, it’s a big chunky thing, which makes me happy. Secondly, it comes with a program so that you can program profiles for various games, seasons, moods, etc. My only con about this is it is not wireless, which is not a deal breaker, just what I am used to having. The keys give proper click clack but on a slightly quieter scale. Keystrokes are quick, with no lag or stutter. I absolutely love this keyboard and the functions that would take an hour to list.

Replacement keys covers and switches not available to order…
I am a YouTube live gamer and I also blog a lot.This keyboard is like a dream when typing on it and it is also very bright which you can turn it down if desired.I had it a little over a month and one of the key covers was defective and came loose on the switch.I was resting my pinky on the key and it was suddenly floating completely unattached.I called their support number and the support people were very nice and willing, but not very helpful.I just wanted to order a new key switch and the key cover for Cap Lock. I was willing to pay for them myself also.They told me I could not order the switches and covers separately.The key covers have 4 thin pegs that are inserted into the switch. The pegs are made of brittle plastic and during the insertion process they can develop a fault. When covers sheer off the pegs are left in the switch leaving both the switch itself and cover useless. With a bit of finesse the switch can be pulled out. Having this happen on the caps lock key was not really that much of an issue.Maybe I just got a bad one. But, them not selling key covers and switches separately became an issue for me.They reached out 5 or 6 times trying to help me resolve my request for parts, eventually saying I had to send the unit in.Going without a keyboard for an extended period of time was not an option.I would almost say that the feel and touch quality of this keyboard is worth the chance of a key breaking and having to send it in.But, I wondered how would they repair it if no keys were available? This did not add up in my mind.Luckily, it was just slightly beyond warrantee and Amazon gave me a refund. I actually miss typing on this keyboard. The keys do not budge even a slight tiny bit, they are extremely rock solid in place. No wobble at all whatsoever.The flaw is with the company and their inability to furnish replacement keys. This is a serious rub.Secondly, I use one keyboard on two CPUs so I have a switcher box and the software used to control the lights does not work when plugged to my switcher. Only the hot keys can be used to control the lights, no custom light control. My other major brand LED keyboard of the same caliber works with my switcher.This was a rub also.I returned it to Amazon… I miss this keyboard, the brightness and the solid key structure bad enough I have considered buying one to use as a spare. ASUS needs to work on key replacement parts and perhaps I could learn to live with it not working with the custom light apps they offer. The plastic pegs in the key caps are brittle and need a less brittle plastic hardener formulation.I doubt there there is any keyboard on the market with keys as solid as these ones. Your fingers learn to love the touch and feel.Too bad their key and switch parts service is, “out of order”… If you buy this, keep a spare old keyboard on hand and don’t throw away the box it comes in…Review for:ASUS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – ROG Strix Scope RX | Red Optical Mechanical SwitchesIf the price goes down to $60 I will probably take a chance and order another one. Having a spare would probably solve some issues. I sent the spare back to Amazon. I would have been fine if they sent me some used switches… I assume they have a room full of returns. ASUS kind of dropped the ball on this one.

Best keyboard I’ve ever used. Gaming for 15 years and now discovering this!!
Had several mechanical keyboards from Corsair. None of them held up over time or came with the standard features at a similar price as this one! Asus knocked it out of the park with this phenomenal keyboard. The keys are have a slight sound to them but go down very easily with just a hair of tension. It’s a pleasure to push in the keys. The keyboard like many other gaming keyboards is fully RGB customizable. This keyboard is also completely waterproof! I didn’t know until I opened the box but the keyboard has an aluminum backboard to it which is very elegant and gives the keyboard a premium feel. The keys are all red mx keys. The sound keys, boss key, and play pause skip is all very useful being in the F5-12 spots. As a gamer/business professional I never used those keys anyway. Had several keyboards in my many years of gaming. Not one was nearly as nice as this. Asus should be asking over $200 for this keyboard. I highly recommend it.

What an Excellent Keyboard
Coming from a Logitech G413, this is a dream keyboard, no need to install any of the software to be able to control any of the lighting schemes. Also the passthrough USB works flawlessly. Both of these features were what led me to the G413 in the first place but they are much better switches and the lighting schemes are much more advanced on this keyboard.I might end up picking up another one just to have one at the ready should this one ever have an issue.Excellent value as well.

Took some adjustments
I decided it was time to replace my 2 Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth 2014 editions when they both started double keying letters when typing. Razer was no help.These keyboards work well. Backlighting that can be customized with an app that I think has become standard with ASUS products.It did take a little adjustment to the new keyboards though due to the slightly smaller size that what I have been using for years. I think the Razers just had bigger keys, not by much and one may not think it’s a big deal, but it does take time to “retrain” the muscle memory to a different keyboard.Overall though, I feel like these should last as long, if not longer than the Razers. I bought 2 and replaced both my old ones at the same time. For the price, and the manufacturer, they are a great replacement for what I was using.

El tacto es muy bueno, en mi caso son switches Blue, me gusta el sonido y la calidad de ensamblado es buena.

It’s a very nice Asus mouse. Ergonomic is good, and I like the simple look with the LEDs.

Este teclado es considerado Tier S en varias Tier lista y la verdad es que lo puedo confirmar. Es bastante cómodo de usar, está conformado por materiales de buena calidad y las teclas son sumamente suaves.La configuración de este teclado es optomecánico y la verdad es que se siente muy bien, el descenso de la tecla es completamente recto y no se traba al regresar. (Este teclado también tiene una variante con switches Cherry MX.)En cuanto al RGB es uniforme y se ve muy bien, además de contar con bastantes configuraciones (es necesario instalar el software Armoury Create (sÃ, otro software más ;_;)).Y finalmente, respecto al puerto USB extra y el cableado, se nota de calidad, sin embargo, es un cable bastante grueso y difÃcil de flexionar, por lo que recomendarÃa un abuela gestión de cables para que no se vea amontonado.Teclado 100% recomendado, eso sÃ, recomiendo tener espacio suficiente para colocarlo.
