The media could not be loaded. Pros: -This is 75% Mechanical Keyboard which may not include numpads, though it is sold separately. -Excellent comfort feel while typing and gaming -I love the silicone wrist rest which is smooth, soft, and comfortable -It's got 1.47" OLED Touchscreen to add custom animation (GIF), CPU/GPU temp, brightness, etc. -It has a knob on the right side to adjust volume slider, OLED brightness, multimedia, etc. -It includes keycap puller/mechanical switch puller to customize the way it looks and feels -high-quality premium Double Shot PBT keycaps -hgh-quality dampening frames to reduce pitch noise while typing -keyboard itself is made out of high-quality aluminum -It supports 8Khz in both Wired/Wireless Polling Rate which you will need to connect polling rate booster USB dongle that comes with it out of the box, but also requires very fast CPU to benefit much higher polling rate! -RX Snow Refined-Linear Switch feels almost like Cherry MX Brown/Cherry MX Red Switches which delivers satisfying tactile feel -On the back, you can toggle between soft and hard mode to adjust dampening pad feel while typing. -It comes with USB Omni Receiver to pair up with multiple devices that supports ASUS wireless mouse & keyboard -Battery Life can last up to 1600 Hours, regardless brightness and polling rate Cons: -Incredibly expensive at $560 USD which is not for everyone. This is geared towards an enthusiast gamers who want the best wired/wireless gaming mechanical keyboard -It does not come with Magnetic Hall-Effect Switches which is much easier to double tap, but it all comes down to personal preference. If you spend a lot of time playing single player PC games, then it doesn't matter if the keyboard is comprised of either mechanical switches and/or Hall-Effect switches. -All in all, this is one of by far the best wireless/wired gaming mechanical keyboard I've ever used for gaming & content creation!

Well it's pricey but you do get quite a bit of features with this keyboard. The aesthics are fantastic and so is the typing experience. This is a unit, it's heavy, it's sturdy and comes with several ergonomic features such as the weird feet for keyboard height. You get a couple of different options there and they are magnetic. Meaning you have to pick up the entire board or you'll knock off the magnetic feet. Now that I'm used to it not really that big of deal. I use this board for primarily gaming. It's fast precise and has speed tap. The OLED screen is cool and had lots of customization. I also own the regular version of the Azoth. I'd say for most people take the Azoth regular version. It's cheaper and you get an amazing board minus some of the features you see here with the Azoth Extreme. If you see this on sale I'd say give it a try. Read more
Incomparable build quality. Have keyboards from Keychron, Logitech and Razer, and this one takes the cake. It sounds and feels amazing. No problem with double-input as I’ve had with a couple of Razer boards, nor issues with key-rollover as with the Logitech one (G915). The RGB could be brighter but it’s still very good. The screen is a nice touch. No issues with connectivity whatsoever. It is expensive, but you’re getting quite a bit for it (though sure, you could maybe build this for 2/3 of the price, but then, this is a very nice prebuilt). Tl;dr: expensive, but amazing, and the smoothest thocks I’ve heard. Read more
I must begin this review, by saying that Customer Service is currently being lead by the best possible people for the job. They are working very hard to make Amazon CS the best in the industry, and I believe they will accomplish their goals. I, very much, look forward to Amazon CS being restored to the golden days, of when they actually cared about helping you, and were very good at doing so. Now, onto the keyboard. I, personally, have never had a keyboard that felt this good to type on, and the sounds it makes are amazing. The build quality is second to none, I do not believe you will find a better machined keyboard anywhere, and it is very heavy. The wrist rest feels amazing, as well. My only wish for it, is that I wish it was magnetic, as it tends to slid around on the surface I am using it on. My hope is that this may well be the last keyboard I ever need, but only time will tell. The software, Asus' Armoury Crate, which is needed to use this keyboard, is, shall we say, it's software. It can be painfully slow at times, and doesn't have a ton of functionality at the moment, but you can, eventually, get the keyboard configured. I hope Asus eventually makes it software worthy of the gear it is meant to operate, and the customers who use it. I will update this review, as I have had more time to use this keyboard, so I can provide a full accounting of how well it performs. Thank you, to the Amazon CS Team who helped me resolve what was an ugly problem, and restoring my trust, from the 20 years I have been a member! Read more
