Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had this keyboard for about a week now, and I really like it so far. The aesthetics are absolutely stunning. This keyboard stands out on any desk setup. The bright white frame with select dark keys looks incredible. It came with a bold red ROG ESC key, but there’s no way I’m replacing the supplied black Escape key. It looks too good. The size is perfect. I’ve brought it to the office a few times and it fits easily in my backpack. The keycaps are snug and secure, and I haven’t had any pop off during travel. The ASUS Armoury Crate app lets you create multiple custom profiles, and I’ve already set up three of the five available slots. I have one for gaming, one for work, and one for general use like writing reviews, browsing, or streaming movies. The app also lets you customize lighting, hotkeys, the control knob, OLED screen, power options, and Gear Link setup. The OLED screen is awesome. There are several ROG-themed animations, but I chose a cityscape with fireworks. It looks amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever used a keyboard with this much customization. I even synced the colors to my monitor using ASUS Aura Wallpaper and my G16CH tower. It looks incredible together. The keycaps are unique. They’re dye-sublimated and translucent on three sides, which allows the LEDs to glow through the back and sides but not the front. It creates a floating key effect that looks beautiful. The control knob is a nice touch and can be programmed for several functions. Typing and gaming feel buttery smooth. The slightly rounded key edges and ROG NX Snow linear switches make every press satisfying. The sound is pleasant and not too loud. You can still tell it’s a mechanical keyboard, but it’s not overly clicky or distracting. The spacebar presses evenly across its entire length, even if you hit it on the edge. The switches are fast and responsive. I’ve been grinding Battlefield 6 and this keyboard performs flawlessly. The wrist rest is better than I expected. It’s made of silicone, not soft like foam or hard like plastic, but it has a smooth silky feel that keeps my hands comfortable. I’ve used the keyboard both wired and wireless with the dongle, and I haven’t noticed any latency at all. The construction feels premium. The aluminum body has a clean white painted finish, the dampening works great, and it stays firmly in place on the desk without being overly heavy. The LEDs are bright, the build quality is excellent, and there are so many customization options to explore. Overall, this is a fantastic mechanical keyboard. It’s solid, beautiful, and packed with features. Another amazing addition to the ROG lineup. Highly recommend.

The Asus ROG Azoth X gaming keyboard checks most boxes of a portable gaming keyboard. The previous Azoth gaming keyboard has earned several notable awards, and the Azoth X continues this legacy. As a fan of portable gaming keyboards, I consider the Asus Azoth X a top choice. Design and build quality To be fair, the mostly white color scheme nuanced with black and some red keys are probably going to take you to either love it or hate it. I find the design to be acceptable as I would prefer single color scheme either all white or black keyboard. If I desire a colorful keyboard, I will customize the lighting settings to suit my preferences. I find the color scheme still visually appealing, although it has a pronounced gaming-oriented style. It is a gaming keyboard after all. Like typical Asus products out there, the build quality is great, and the whole package screams quality. The palm-rest is made of high-quality thick molded plastic gel and yet it feels solid and effective in absorbing the pressure of my palm. The OLED display is bright and there are a rocker key and an alternating button to change volume, keyboard lighting scheme, among others. The display features several basic information and animated ROG logo. I like the OLED display a lot. It’s both functional and well-deserving my RTX 5080 setup. Lastly, the keyboard is highly portable, and easy to switch between different devices. Setup software There’s a web-based setup software ‘Gearlink’ to further customize the keyboard. The level of customization is not as great as Asus’ competitors, but for most gamers I don’t think it really matters thanks to its great out-of-the box performance. In addition to key customization, the software lets you switch the OLED display to visualize a different preset animation. Connectivity This keyboard wins in this area. It supports both Windows and Mac. There are both wired and wireless connectivity, the latter supports both Bluetooth and wireless radio with dongle. Gaming I played Helldivers 2 and the results are great. Keystrokes are responsive. The ergonomic palm rest makes long and sustained gaming session comfortable. I have more than a few gaming keyboards, but the Asus Azoth X is now my preferred one for gaming with its great out of the box performance and high comfortability factor. Typing It's an excellent experience. Keypresses are accurate and responsive for fast typing. Because of its ergonomic design, this keyboard is great for regular typing tasks. Conclusion Asus has made many things right with this keyboard from the build quality, excellent palm rest, great gaming and typing performance, attractive OLED display, etc. More importantly, the Azoth X is a great and comfortable keyboard for both gaming and typing. The color scheme is very gaming looking but it is a gaming keyboard after all.

Hands down! This is the best gaming keyboard I’ve used in a long time. I noticed how premium this keyboard is the moment I unboxed it. The packaging is well-thought-out designed. Each part inside is securely placed in its own labeled compartment. It is obvious that ASUS paid attention to those small details which reflect its commitment to excellence. This wireless ROG Azoth X is 75% wireless mechanical keyboard; I like how it blends sporty aesthetics and high-performance. Its compact size fits my rig and keyboard tray perfectly. I plugged it in and left it to charge overnight. Setup and customization were done using ASUS Armoury Crate software. While customizing it, I was impressed by its sleek and premium design, keys are translucent, allowing the RGB lighting to shine through. There was an update that I immediately applied to it. I liked everything about this keyboard, but the most attractive feature is the OLED display and multifunction knob which controls brightness, volume, and media playback, etc. The OLED display responds quickly and displays the changes made by the multifunctional knob. The hot-swappable switches feel smooth and soft making my typing experience satisfying. The build quality is top-notch, and the battery life is impressive, despite leaving RGB on and have been using for the last 5 days. The connection versatility using USB-C, Bluetooth, or 2.4 GHz wireless added convenience to it. I truly appreciate everything about this keyboard. It offers premium build, great performance, comfortable typing feel, versatile connectivity, and weighted to stay put and does not move around. The included thick, padded silicone wrist rest is comfy and blends great with the keyboard giving it a sleek look. In addition, the USB adapter has an onboard compartment to store which is a thoughtful and practical touch.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Good keyboard with a better set of keycaps than the original keyboard and the oled screen worked very well

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

Asus gualiy is not suprised me! I loved the keyboard. Thank you

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

This keyboard feels was nicer to use than my 100% Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 SE.

Good excellent build quality amazing picture would recommend

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.
