Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)The ROG Strix Scope RX uses the same Armoury Crate software as other Asus peripherals to handle key settings, basic RGB lighting management and firmware updates. It offers five user-managed profiles, as well as a default profile that can all be accessed via the F1-F6 keys. Much of the keyboard's additional functionality can be managed right on-keyboard, too.

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Scope uses Asus’ first opto-mechanical design, and the ROG RX Red switches inside this keyboard offer an impressive array of specifications. There are no media or macro keys; media options are relegated to the function row. There’s no travel sleeve and the 1.8m cable isn’t detachable. The combination of optical speed and conventional travel distances makes for an impressive keyboard.
Pros
- Fast and responsive buttons
- Excellent build quality
- Fantastic performance
Cons
- No media or macro keys
- No wrist-rest
