Customer Ratings & Reviews

The version of the ROG Azoth X that I own has the linear ROG NX Snow V2 mechanical linear switches with 40 grams of actuation force are both satisfying in click actuation sound; it is a little on the louder side with respect to other gaming keyboards I own, but it is extremely satisfying alongside with the each key’s feel. I find myself wanting to switch to this keyboard when using productivity apps, but the switches are a bit on the sensitive trigger side and my heavy fingers tend to add unintended inputs. This is definitely a gaming-first keyboard, and it has been very good thus far. Appearance-wise, the Azoth X….is a very, very unique looking keyboard with a mix of white, black and red colors. And where it does have that cool factor is its translucent keys When the RGB is lit, the colors come through the translucent areas and really gives the keyboard that illuminated look. The RGB itself isn’t that bright, but the amount of light overall does give the impression that it is. Each keycap is dye-sublimated for both long-term print durability and signature ROG themed look. This keyboard can be connected to your PC via USB2.0 cable, Bluetooth 5.1 or the supplied 2.4GHz dongle, giving a user the ultimate flexibility based on your setup. Asus calls it their Tri-mode connection in which you can connect to three different devices at once. A huge number that they tout is the ability for this keyboard to go over 2000 hours wireless with their ROG SpeedNova technology. Obviously this is possible when you turn off RGB and its OLED display…more on that. The unique feature on this keyboard is its OLED display to allow you to change settings straight from the keyboard, including lighting effects, OLED brightness and the obvious volume and track next/previous. With Armoury Crate installed you’ll be able to customize the display to showcase your own JPEG or GIFs, showcase music info or display an audio spectrum, or show CPU/GPU frequencies or temperatures, which is my favorite of the three. Armoury Crate is not required but a must for this customizability, but most importantly for keeping your Azoth up-to-date with the latest firmware. The Azoth X offers a feature called Speed Tap, only activated through Armoury Crate. When activated, Speed Tap mode prioritizes the latest input and automatically releases the previous one when two keys are pressed. This means that in FPS games, pressing two opposing directional keys (e.g., A and D) will no longer cause the in-game character to stop moving. Instead, directional changes can now be made immediately without having to release the previous key, eliminating any time gap for counter-strafing and ensuring precise aim every time. In Armoury Crate, A and D are binded keys by default, but you can assign an additional four bindings. As mentioned above, Speed Tap is off by default. So the big sell here is the hot-swappable switches but feel that this feature has been overshadowed by those keyboards with adjustable actuation points. But from a servicing point of view, it is nice to know that I can replace switches when they start to fail. This contributes to the longevity of this keyboard and can be looked at as a long term investment. From a true customization perspective, I can see the appeal to swap switches for particular keys that can give you that advantageous edge during a gaming session. As far as stats, this keyboard polls at 1000Hz, which is very good for gaming applications. There is a lot of press about keyboards that go beyond this, up to 8000Hz, but there is really no clear advantage of moving up the polling rate past 1000Hz even for the best of gamers.

This keyboard has similarities compared to it's predecessor the Asus Azoth. I like the switches it comes with. It has that tactile feel to it and very immediate responsiveness. The aestetics makes it a good looking keyboard. The Armoury Crate software has customizations for the right Oled screen.

This keyboard is just what I was looking for. The snow switches in this keyboard feel much better than the regular Azoth version. The battery life lasts driver. Software (Armoury Crate) is meh and wonky but it works.

Absolutely amazing keyboard. One of the best I've owned. The stabilizers are plate mounted, but the PCB has the holes for aftermarket stabilizers, which I got and it's just perfect. The battery life is insane too. I've only charged it 3 times since I got it in late November (it's now early February). That's not with 1-2hrs a day usage, that's 4-8hrs a day. One thing I don't like is the OLED doesn't have a splash screen, so you will get burn in eventually. That being said, you do have the option to turn it off completely. The keycaps out of the box are also amazing.

I love it. Feels premium, great clicks sound, good lights.

These caps and switches are absolutely marevelous. The smoothest, cleanest, rock-stable linear switches, and 3sided puddintop pbt. My oh my what a beautiful board.

Sounds great, consistent performance, looks great, overall great keyboard.

Excellent wireless keyboard great keys love this thing looks amazing it's a lil bit pricey but u get what u pay for

I love typing on this keyboard. It hits every mark for me and Im so happy with it.

Good excellent build quality amazing picture would recommend

The key dampeners are awesome. Not too much click sounds.

Lighter compared to the first gen azoth, but definitely more clicks, and faster response. There is an issue from trying to update the firmware through Armory crate, but that is just rog software in nutshell, and keyboard itself id doing well so far.

Bottom Line Up Front The ROG Azoth X is a 75% wireless gaming keyboard that nails premium feel and thoughtful extras. It blends solid build materials, excellent typing acoustics, and clever travel-friendly details into a compact, customizable package. If you want a small board that feels expensive and works well both at home and on the go, this is a strong contender. Build and feel - Materials: Metal top cover, FR4 positioning plate, silicone gasket mount, and five-layer dampening come together for a pleasantly cushioned, supremely stable typing experience. The FR4 plate gives a bit more flex than aluminum, producing bright, gentle acoustics that are refined rather than clangy. - Switches & keycaps: Hot-swappable, pre-lubed ROG NX V2 switches deliver consistent, responsive actuation out of the box. Three-sided translucent, dye-sublimated keycaps let RGB glow through beautifully while staying durable and readable. - Ergonomics: Compound risers (full riser + half-step riser) allow fine control of tilt and height—great for someone who wants a slightly elevated angle without jumping to the tallest setting. Thoughtful extras and travel features - USB dongle storage: The magnetized slot near the mode switch is a slick, travel-minded touch. It keeps the dongle safe and out of the way when you’re using Bluetooth or just prefer not to use RF. - Wrist rest: The silicone wrist rest is surprisingly nice—comfortable, firm, and perfectly matched to the keyboard’s aesthetic. Memory foam might have been softer, but this silicone option balances comfort, durability, and cost while keeping the overall look seamless. - OLED & controls: The OLED gives useful system info and settings feedback; the three-way knob feels intuitive for volume, lighting, or other mappings. - Battery life: With a mixed usage scenario (50% keyboard OLED on, 50% on wireless), expect about once-a-month charging with 6 hours of daily use—very convenient for most users. What I liked most - Attention to small design details that matter in real life (magnetic dongle slot, wrist rest matching the board). - Typing feel that’s both cushioned and refined, thanks to gasket mount, FR4 plate, and multi-layer dampening. - Flexibility: hot-swap switches, south-facing PCB for keycap compatibility, and adjustable risers tick all the customization boxes without needing immediate mods. Minor things - The silicone wrist rest is excellent but a memory foam option would offer a plusher feel for those who prefer softer support. - If you heavily rely on OLED features, that will shave battery life more than typical use—worth noting for power-conscious users. - The board sits at a premium level; users who don’t value the build materials or OLED may find it harder to justify the cost. Verdict ROG Azoth X is a well-executed 75% keyboard for gamers and enthusiasts who want premium materials, great out-of-the-box typing, and practical travel features. The magnetic dongle slot and matching silicone wrist rest show attention to real-world use, while the gasket mount, FR4 plate, and pre-lubed NX V2 switches deliver a refined typing experience. Recommend for anyone who wants a compact, customizable keyboard that looks and feels like a higher-end desktop staple.

Keyboard is reslly nice designed,love the keys.color combo is sweet

Very nice keyboard, nice feeling good pbt key caps

Gorgeous keyboard and now has become my favorite piece of equipment in my setup!

Good keyboard. I had the older model but this one coming with wrist rest id is big plus

One of the best boards I have had. Fully custom. ASUS hits the mark

Paid $355 after taxes for this pile of ****. My biggest issue with this keyboard is the keycaps aren't transparent! So no light travels through to see the letters at night.

The Asus ROG Azoth X is a TKL/75% mechanical keyboard that checks a lot of boxes and then some. Feature-wise this is one of the best I’ve used so far, but with so many competitions, the Azoth X has a disadvantage due its high list price. But nonetheless, I have been happily using it for the last few weeks and am glad to make it by default keyboard. Unboxing the Azoth X is without much surprises. In line with most gaming mechanical keyboards, it comes with both a keycap and a switch puller, 3 extra switches, along with the wireless dongle and braided USB-C cable. A USB-C to -A adapter is included for convenience. Something not common is the included silicone wrist pad which matches the aesthetics of the keyboard (and my G14), and is something I have been using extensively while typing for long periods. Overall everything is packaged well and the quality is more than I expected. In a sense, it tells that the product is not a cheap one to boot. Now the actual keyboard: it has been a pleasure to use from day one. The ROG Snow NX v2 switches are linear, and have the right balance of stability, tactile feel, and clickiness. It's noticeable without being noisy, which I value a lot. The build quality is high, with any issues with fit and finish. The OLED screen and the multipurpose switch added a nice touch of controls into the mix, without relying solely on the Asus Armory Crate desktop app. The layout is well placed, but I had trouble initially in using the page navigation keys. I still feel awkward to use Home and End (which I use a lot), since I need to use the Fn-key combo, and unfortunately the Fn-key is only available on the right side of the keyboard. Thankfully I use a separate Numpad while working which makes it up a bit. Apart from the standard keys available in the 75% form factor, there's a “Copilot” key to invoke Microsoft Copilot app. Good thing is this can be modified with Armory Crate. The OLED screen and the associated three-way knob is what makes the Azoth X unique. The simple knob not only can toggle up and down, but also can be pressed, and there's a side button as well to provide even further actions. Volume and media control is there when I'm listening to music or watching a video. Furthermore the OLED screen brightness, and the key illumination effect can be adjusted easily. As for the key caps, these are translucent on three sides making them very legible in dark environments, and like most products out there are dye-sublimited. The “stellar” themed design stands out without being obnoxious. The PCB is southfacing, thus illumination, as I mentioned earlier, is usable. The top case is aluminum, but has a matt texture which makes it even more exquisite. Connectivity is versatile, with both wired and 2 wireless modes - one is the traditional Bluetooth, while the 2.4GHz uses low-latency connectivity Asus terms as “Speednova”, which uses the included USB dongle. This dongle supports other ROG wireless accessories as well. I have been using it for regular gaming as well as my day to day work sessions, and I must admit I’m pretty much impressed. I personally like linear keys and the Snow switches feel just right for me. They feel good and consistent, and are very smooth. They don’t provide a lot of tactile feedback, and is not very audible - Asus used a lot of dampening material to tune that. This may disappoint some users who choose mechanical keyboards just for that. I felt the larger keys are well stabilized, but the spacebar could have been better - it felt just a bit different in feel compared to the regular keys. But after typing for a week or so, I got adjusted to it. As for gaming, I occasionally play fast FPS games, so the low latency and key-rollover issues are less noticeable, but I can attest that it’s miles better than the laptop keyboard of the G14, and felt less demanding than some of my other mechanical keyboards. And since the keycaps and the switches are replaceable, I can tune it to perfection as needed. Overall, the Azoth X is a great keyboard, and is very usable for newcomers. For the experience it provides a lot of customizability. Design, make, functionality are all there. My only gripe is the price. It’s expensive, and today we are in the golden age of mechanical keyboards - this make is tough choice where decent starter set can be get at a very good price, and then can be customized to world’s end.
