This keyboard is amazing
I got this and the matching mouse and I couldn’t be happier. The keyboard makes nice but not too loud sounds, has no lag, is nice an compact without compromising functions, and looks so cool with all the programmable lighting options. It’s light weight and comes with a wrist rest so it’s super comfortable too. I use it for both work and gaming and it performs great for both tasks. I have no doubts about its durability. Very happy with this purchase. 10/10 would recommend.

Has been amazing to use
As a gamer, but also a casual user, I donât want a keyboard that has 0.00001ms response time and 0.0001mm of actuation; I want something thatâs useable. I want something that I can play games on, as well as actually use my PC as a computer without having to switch keyboards or make a million typos. This keyboard does all of that.Everything about this keyboard is perfect. There are so many little things that are so well thought out it just amazes me how other brands donât do this. For $159, this keyboard is on the pricy side, but in my opinion it is well worth it. Iâve had maybe 10 gaming keyboards in the past 2 years, and letâs just say that Iâve done my fair share of returns. But this keyboard Iâve kept.Some things I like about this keyboard are:- it sounds nice and not cheap at all- the keycaps feel nice to type on and they donât wear out, and the font is very readable and the RGB shines through nicely- how lighting profiles are also ON-BOARD PROFILES (aka, whenever you switch to use the keyboard with another device, itâll save the last used lighting preset. Random tangent but I donât know why more companies wonât do this with their keyboards, itâs not that hard, and in my opinion, thatâs how keyboards should be!- the controls are easy to learn- the size is compact (maybe 1/2 an inch wider than a standard TKL keyboard)- the lighting effects are pretty, vibrant, bright, as well as being very customizable- the wireless and battery life both work great (I use my keyboard wired anyways)- easy to type on if youâre used to mechanical keyboards. If youâre used to something else, such as a laptop keyboard, itâll take some getting used to as is with any mechanical keyboardThere isnât anything that I donât like about this keyboard. Everything is just there, and everything works great!

I switched from a Razer keyboard and I have no regrets.
Pros:-I love the slim compact design of this keyboard it looks and feels amazing right out of the box.-The keys are really fun to type on it’s what I like most about the keyboard they’re smooth but not loud. I came from a linear keyboard because my wife complains about red switches when she’s trying to watch TV in the same room but the dampeners with this keyboard keeps it quiet enough but still feel similar to red switches.-The battery life is outstanding the fact that it lasts so long and also automatically hibernates after not touching it for a while till you type on it again is perfect for me because I work from home and I already have enough wires so having a wireless keyboard that I can easily move around and not have to charge frequently is a win.-I love that you don’t need to download Asus Armoury Crate for this keyboard to work that you can still change the color theme and make adjustments to it without having the software because I hated having Razer Synapse software just to be able to have different lights on my keyboard.-The wrist rest is actually perfectly designed it looks and feels amazing and although at first I wondered why it stood above the keyboard itself it actually is in the best spot when you’re typing on the keyboard.Cons:-When switching over from a full size keyboard it does take time to get use to where some keys are like the arrow keys feel out of place as well as the essential keys like Home and Del button you have to keep rechecking where the keys are to press them.-I didn’t like the swappable Asus branded space key even though it looks nicer and I would much rather use it’s design it’s more bulky and sticks out above the keys in front of it. I’m not sure why they didn’t stay with the same size as the default one.-Although it’s not a big deal I don’t like that there is 4 options for the media scroll wheel that you switch between. I would much rather it only be Play/Pause/Forward/Back + Volume control and swap between those 2 rather than having the lighting and macro as part of it. I’m not sure if this is an option to remove them in the Asus Armoury Crate but I refuse to download it even though I have an Asus Motherboard I always avoid it because it’s slow and buggy and I have iCue synced with my motherboard lighting and it will mess it up.

Después de un año de uso puedo decir con seguridad que es el mejor teclado que he tenido, es muy cómodo, su tamaño es perfecto, los materiales son de calidad y su peso es excelente a pesar de tener partes metálicas. La baterÃa le dura mucho aun con el RGB encendido, los Switches ROG NX tienen un tacto suave (ROG NX Snow) además de ser compatibles con keycaps para Switches tipo CherryMX asà que no tendrás problemas si quieres o tienes keycaps personalizados para teclados mecánicos como en mi caso.Su botón de multi-función es muy intuitivo, con él puedes seleccionar que opción multimedia deseas hacer, ya sea bajar o subir el volumen, retroceder o pasar al siguiente video o canción al igual que pausar, subir o bajar la iluminación RGB o activar macros que puedes configurar desde Armoury Crate, todo eso con ayuda de la rueda que esta junto a él. RECOMENDADO AL 100%

Well built, compact, individual RGB per key, really handy scroll for volume and other shortcuts.Can change all config (device, RGB and shortcut options) without the app. Can even check battery status!Typing is fluid and soft, no click sound, fast actuation.Finally it’s nice to have mouse + keyboard wireless with a single USB dongle (requires app for sync).The only downside is that it is difficult for me to get used to this layout since I’m used to full size keyboards, always using that middle cluster with HOME, END, PG DOWN, PG UP.

Deben saber que vengo de usar el RAZER blackwidow chroma de hace 5 años very clicky. Este nuevo teclado ASUS es una gran experiencia, tiene buen peso y puedes manipular los switches de conexion sin sostener el teclado, el sonido del tecleo es espectacular, muy exquisito. Tiene plastico y metal, de muy buena calidad. Las teclas tiene una textura muy exquisita, me gusta que es hotswapable y lo podre modificar despues si quiero. Pero por el momento estoy muy satisfecho, el wireless es muy rapido y tambien lo uso con mi iPhone con el cual tambien funciona muy bien. Esteticamente es muy compacto y me encanta, ahorra mucho espacio a pesar de ser de 96%. Lo unico con lo que estoy batallando un poco es la posicion de algunas teclas, pero me estoy adaptando rapido. Algo que tambien note es que me equivoco mucho menos al escribir. Muy recomendado. La bateria dura semanas, considerando que elegi el RGB solo prenda cuando estoy tecleando. Muy contento con mi teclado y eso que ni siquiera me he metido a utilizar las funciones de la aplicacion. Saludos.
