ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX Gaming Mechanical Keyboard, Red Optical Switches, USB 2.0 Passthrough, 2X Wider Ctrl Key, Aura Sync, Armoury Crate RGB Lighting, Black

Amazing keyboard with lots of features
I had previously owned a razer keyboard that was clicky, load, and hard to press. I bought the Scope RX and the linear, optical switches actually feel so amazing. They’re pretty quiet as well. The stabilizers on the keyboard are cream of the crop and the key caps will not shift/move much. Because they’re red style switches, they’re really easy to press. Initially, I had problems adjusting to the keyboard and my wpm dropped from around 110-70but after a day of using, I’ve adjusted it to 94 wpm with 100% accuracy. RGB on the board is really good and comes with a lot of cool patterns if that’s your thing. Overall, the quiet sound, easy presses, and solid build quality of the keyboard is a solid 5/5 from me.

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.

Replaced an MSI I was using. Keys are so much more comfortable, nice and clicky without sounding obnoxious like the MSI did. Very happy

The keyboard is very sturdy. Keys are very soft to press and good for competitive gaming. Rgb is pretty to look at. Love the macro setup. Although pricey, it is worth it, been using it for more than a year and its still amazing.
