Now if only Asus could fix their motherboards and routers as well.

I just got this keyboard after contemplating the azoth price tag… best decision of my life this keyboard sounds so nice right out of the box and it feels SO good

[Canuckrz]

I have to do a ton of data entry for work, so 96% is my jam. I'm happy to see the layout getting more "mainstream" traction.

[johnhurley]

I've felt the keyboard and it feels frickin AMAZING! It's a fairly heavy switch that feels like thick butter. It's so nice.

[cadentruong-shrk]

Asus should make a lineup with these switches with different layouts and stuff

[emshomar]

North faced LEDs is for the legends to shine through. I noticed among custom keyboards legend shine through is increadibly rare. While the entire point to have backlit keyboard was to light up those legends on the keyboard on darker environment.

[Pacheenee]

Gaming boards sell by having rgb shine through, which means south facing LEDs would be a huge mistake

[johnnytex]

If they made a 60/65% of this I'd get it in a heartbeat. They clearly took what they learned from the Azoth and ran w/ it, and I'm all here for it.

[Toadstar]

This is genuinely impressive. I'm surprised by asus!

So, the problem isn't north-facing LEDs, it's that the switch molds aren't always designed to make Cherry keycaps compatible with NFLEDs. There's no good reason for this, as there are many switches that don't experience that problem, like Epomaker's Flamingo, Budgerigar, and Sea Salt Silent switches. It literally just takes a slightest slope on the LED-side of the switch. Or a longer stem (like, maybe half a millimeter, if that). There is no good reason for any new switch not to avoid interference with Cherry keycaps.

Ive had mine with the Snow switches for about 3 months now. I absolutely love it. Last Keyboard was a Logi G612, went through 4 of them in 2 years due to double clicking/chatter. Changing to the Scope II is awesome.

[mahfudzk]

The Northfacing situation is eh, it's still matters of preference honestly. They still targeting it mostly towards people who are into backlit keycaps, and that's perfectly fine. Doesn't mean it won't fit any aftermarket keycaps set, after all there are still exquisite colorway/theme that aren't only available in cherry profile.

All in all they're going good and wish other big mainstream peripherals brand can follow suit.

[matttran]

I think it's one of those "you can have south facing switches OR RBG, but not BOTH" situations.

[Linkinstar_Gaming]

I think the north facing RGB is because of the shine trough keycaps. If they were south facing, the legends would be less illuminated.

[AasifHaque]

7:26 That melts my heart, you are a nice servant for the cat, also the video covers everything about the keyboard, thanks for that.

The only thing I don't like about linear switches is that I've come to notice that while gaming, as I'm resting my fingers on the keys (not actively pressing them), sometimes just the weight of resting my fingers on the keys would be enough to unknowingly press a key down far enough to register it. Kept thinking "Why the hell do i keep strafing occasionally while running forward". Took a bit to realize.

Keyboard in question is the Glorious GMMK2 with its factory Glorious Fox linear switches. Replaced the switches with some Gateron Green clickys, and it's much nicer feeling.

[Madblaster]

This is amazing. If I didn’t have the Glorious 96% with Boba U4T switches I would 100% consider this.

Why is nobody talking about how hypio taught nola to do a spacebar sound test ?

[sleepdeprived]

I'm typing this comment as I watch this. I haven't watched any reviews of this. I just happen to test it at a local game shop. I fell in love without knowing what this was. It didn't matter what the price is. I like the layout, the sound, the feel, wireless (bluetooth + 2.4ghz), RGB, USB-C, a volume rocker, and with a magnetic wrist pad that has the right amount of cushion. Only the font is undesirable.

ASUS does a great job on their Keyboards. I currently daily a modded Azoth and even with a number of bespoke options it's by far my favorite deck. I'm not a big fan of this particular board's layout or profile, but I have to admit it does sound nice.
