Damn 500 bucks that’s a lot (btw I’m happy you got a kid that you guys love)

the only person i know who uses this, is a german 1.5 million subs streamer and youtuber who is sponsored by ASUS ROG

As a keyboard enthusiast the price of this keyboard is simply outrageous and will definitely sit on the shelf. ASUS think that they can charge and put high tag price on their product that obviously some of the affordable keyboard is sounds better, looks and feel better than this nothing special expensive ASUS keyboard. Glad to see your video dear Betty❤❤❤

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

Asus what ever you are smoking, don’t share it. 😂

500$ and you still have to use armoury crate 💀

I have both Azoth (my main for some time) and Azoth Extreme (review sample) at my desk right now. I have very positive feeling about quality of the body, switches are great, the whole soft/hard system is interesting, but its not doing all that much. OLED display is smaller and i do prefer the old monochorme one. But it sounds quite nice. All things considered, Azoth Extreme is very fine keyboard, but the price is way way off. But keep it comming, Asus. I like the way you are heading :)

I haven't watched the video. "but should you?" No. $500 for a gaming keyboard is WAY too much, even though it sounds pretty good. You could get a REALLY nice custom board for that.

Love to see you back! I had no idea you had a kid, I was thinking you stopped making videos as you said you keep thinking about doing that a while back in a video. I'm glad Switch and Click was just on a hiatus. Super happy for you for having such a lovely kid! Welcome back!

Is it expensive? Yes. That said, I recently watched a video of squashy making a custom mecha keeb for Joey with a led screen costing over $1k for him to make 😂

1:44 that card is for the backplate, use that to cover the 2.4ghz dongle

Liking and commenting to help boost the YouTube algorithm to see you guys hit 1M subscribers by the end of 2024. Also I really really like my Azoth Extreme keyboard 😮

[Belgarathe]

Glad to see you back. I think they price it high and will probably drop their price to make it seem like a value. No doubt it’s a nice keyboard but not worth $500. Also guess it for someone who want a nice keyboard without worrying about setup. The biggest disappointment and the reason why I didn’t buy it myself was the so configuration software. It way behind via/qmk. You can pretty much only program 1 layer and remap keys. Compared to keychron q1 or zsa voyager this is a step backward. Lastly the other disappointment is how loose the knob is next to display which makes it feel cheap.

I got distracted by my cat halfway through but the card you showed at the beginning slots perfectly to cover the dongle and gasket pressure in the back in plate if you weren't aware. That being said, the price is still outrageous for what this keeb delivers!

[StillthatguyJake]

LITERALLY the first person to explain the "hard/soft" nonsense in detail that ANYONE can understand! Thank you! Lol That, alone, is almost work the price of the board (your explanation...not the ability to switch! Just so we're clear, I'm still not paying them $500)

[KngJdy]

im sorry but that is an aboslutely BEAUTIFUL KEYBOARD

[mindinversions]

Gaming market won't want it because it's not HE, and the enthusiast market won't want it because they can build something cheaper and save $400. As a keyboard enthusiast who knows JUST ENOUGH to lube my switches and insulate the bottom tray [and swap my own keys] What does this Asus keyboard do that my Black Widow V4 75%, Huntsman Analog, or Keychron K7 don't? Besides cost just a little more than I paid for all 3 of those, I mean.

[samcurmudgeon]

I'm typing this comment on the original ROG Azoth. Even that hard/soft mode doesn't justify being twice the price of the OG Azoth.

[MisterHorsey]

You're back! Where'd you go? We missed you!

[KrmaRules]

At that price, I'd want a gaming laptop included with said keyboard.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw "8 hours ago" :D
