This Gaming Keyboard Changes EVERYTHING

Usually gaming keyboards from mainstream manufacturers aren't different. But the ROG Azoth changes EVERYTHING by listening to the keyboard community. They added things like gasket-mounts, three-layer dampening, hot swapped switches, a lubing station and an OLED screen.

Love this collaborative-interactive style of reviews from you guys. We should see more of these😊👍🏾✌🏾...

Wish we can get a barebones version. I like building from barebones. I dont like to spend money on a full kit if I am not going to use those switches and keycaps.

[NickBaysingar]

Seems like a pretty solid kit. Oddly enough, the thing that impressed me the most is that the stabilizers sounded rock solid in the sound test, and I rarely come across stabilizers that sound good out of the factory.

But I wonder if the $250 price tag is justified. It seems well built, but I wouldn't necessarily say it lands in that price range in terms of materials used. I would be curious to see what a barebones version that only includes the stabilizers would sell for.

The board is good.

People are talking about how it's nothing compared a custom built, but it's actually pretty comparable. Yes you can fine tune custom boards to be the exact sound and feel you want but the Azoth gets pretty damn close. Before this board I was running a QK75 and while that board does feel amazing and great to type the Azoth is pretty much like 80% of the way there.

What I think people are ignoring is that it's the perfect middle ground for those who want enthusiast features while also not sacrificing on performance. On one side of spectrum you have the Wooting and on the other side you have a custom built. This is right smack in the middle.

I appreciate how playful Dmitry’s videos are. And I hope your sponsors pay primo for those great ad reads.

I bought it because of the wireless/bt connectivity - really like that I can use it simultaneously on my mac and PC with great response times to go along with it. Lubed the NX Reds, but they still didn't sound or feel good. The keyboard is really good however with the Black Ink V2s (I think it's the lower than normal profile keycaps as the Black Ink V2s usually feel pretty heavy). The Lubed NX Reds also sound really good on my, now replaced, GMMK Pro. I also love the oled screen (so much you can do with it!). Overall feels like an end-game keyboard for me.

if there was a barebones version with all the custom toolkit features, I would be ordering it like YESTERDAY 👀

Seeing a gaming keyboard come with lube and a brush is WILD

[CaligoCrew]

Love this new format! The interactions bring so much more energy

The only problem I have is the software. I've been using this keyboard for a few weeks now and last week I updated the Armory Crate app and now I'm getting an 2006 error when going to the device using the software. Did several clean uninstall using their tool but still the issue persists. Completely uninstalled the software and using the keyboard without it. ASUS forums didn't help at all. Good keyboard, bad software

[Maeiourk]

I love this format. Both of your interactions were great addition to it. Bring Mike in!

I've had this keyboard for over a month now and it is pretty good. I reluctantly got the Azoth with brown switches (because it was the only one in stock at the time). It is much better than expected. The keyboard sounds really good, has pretty good features, and is hot swappable. Ofc you can get a cheaper board, but ehh I have an Asus laptop and wanted an Asus keyboard.

[JoselitoBurrito]

Okay, I like every single direction they have gone with this (color, style, connectivity, etc) *BUT* the sound. That's not (at least in the circles I move in) a desired sound. The point of buying an already lubed keyboard is to avoid the tedious process, but that's waaay to 'clicky?'. Not *_thocc_* enough. It sounds as if it needed way more lube and dampening.
But again, I really appreciate the effort and everything else. It's a step in the right direction.

[QuicSiver]

well.. for $69 i can get basically the same functions as the Azoth with the Royal Kludge RK H81, except for the oled screen and accessories. the ROG tax is pretty hefty on this one

[dcuadrados]

The snobby keyboard community hates it and the regular chumps with no hobbies wondering why it's so expensive. This really makes you wonder, who is this really marketed towards? Lmao

[neitotran]

Its really impressive that they are able to make a 250$ keyboard sounds that hollow

[eckz]

Its a great keyboard, it was my dream keyboard actually... I haven't used it in months. If only Armory crate didn't botch my OS install, cause a ton of registry issues and errors, phantom errors and crashes, and hijack and then permanently ruin the RGB on two of my ram sticks. :/

[scorpiogamer]

Just got the moonlight NX Snow switch version. It’s a beautiful board with an amazing typing/gaming experience. You weren’t kidding with how thick and dense it is.

[xCaptainAroniousx]

everything on my build and extras is asus strix even x2 sometimes... i love the quality of asus products and the extras.. this keyboard kit and other little extras that come with this higher end products by Asus, makes me feel appreciated as a loyal enthusiast to Asus since i was 10 years old building my first PCs.

Can you link the wood wrist rest? That one looks like a perfect match. I plan on getting the moonlight version, and it unfortunately doesn't come with a rest.
