Customer Ratings & Reviews

The upper case symbols do not light up on the keys so I had to buy replacement keys from Amazon. The symbols l.e. ! , @, %, etc.) were small and can barely be seen. Other than that, the keyboard is great. Note - The photo I took has the replacment keys.

This is a great keyboard. LEDs are bright, lots of customization. Heavy and just beautiful. The problem I had with it - isn’t ROGs fault at all… the product description said it was wireless and it ain’t. If you’re ok with a wired keyboard, then this one is hard to beat! Works really well with the Armor Crate software, and I highly recommend it!

I go through a lot of mice and keyboards testing always looking for the "next best thing." The Asus Rog Strix Scope II X, referred to as the Scope from this point, is a viable candidate, but is it the next best thing? Arriving in very compact, modest package (for Asus that is) with classic Asus black and red design, inside you will find the keyboard, palm rest, USB-C to USB-A cable, a replacement ROG spacebar that is much more flashy than the pre-installed one and a small bundle of paperwork and s sticker. Hookup is as simple as connecting the USB cable to the keyboard and your chosen device and off you go. The keyboard does default to the rainbow pattern, so you will need to either run Armory Crate or hope a third party RGB controller software can reign in the rainbow. I do wish makers of RGB, well, anything would default to either a solid color that could represent their brand color (IE Red for Asus, Green for Razer, Orange for SteelSeries, etc...), white or default to off. Typing and responsiveness is very nice. It is definitely a step up over the asking price for the Scope. It is very sturdy and I like the Asus logo on the media control dial. The palm rest is firm and there is no softness at all. My favorite palm rest of all time is still EVGA's and that is because it is soft yet supportive. I spent several days using the Scope as my primary keyboard driver for work and play and it gets the job done. It isn't a top end mechanical keyboard and you can tell by the feedback and strike feel of the "snow switches" when typing but it is still a good keyboard. I do very much like that it isn't overly noisy when typing. Price wise, it is very competitively priced compared to similar models and I would say it is just as good if not better than the several Razer keyboards I've tried that cost much more. I like it better than the few Corsair, Cherry and EVGA keyboards I've tried and the only keyboard I like more happens to be my current SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3, but the SteelSeries is also almost 2x the price. I do not have many complaints about the Scope but one is the secondary functions do not light up for the horizontal number keys. The second is the rear elevation could be a fraction of an inch taller. Outside of those two complaints, the Asus Scope is surprisingly well priced for the quality of keyboard you receive and if I wasn't currently using my SteelSeries, I would most likely be using the Scope instead as my daily driver keyboard.

Asus is definitely in the game zone. I was excited to test this full size keyboard as many other manufacturers have dropped the full size. Anyway. Setup was pretty straightforward. I had to go through Asus Armory Crate. I had to go through few updates that required about 3 reboots. Fast forward to post updates.... User interface on Armory was was super simple. The software recognized the device right away. I ended up having to do a few other updates on my Asus ROG laptop while I was here. All this took about 30 mins. After all that was done, I went back into Armory and into settings and messed with which light setting I wanted. I ended up selecting quicksand setting. There are about 10 presets. You can also be unique and program your own. But who has time for that... Let's get into game play and use. So this keyboard is in between crispy keys and squishy keys. Which is nice. Crispy keys tend to be loud. Which is ok. But can be annoying if you are gaming at night and you others that are sleeping around you. Too squishy is not for me. I need a little feed back and click. So this was right in my sweet zone. Reaction time is great. Not super sensitive but not too long of a key stroke. Also appearance is nice. Standard black. Overall lightweight. 10 KEY.... Yes... 10 KEY. I love 10 KEY because I do spreadsheets and 10 KEY always helps. Great keyboard. Great for gaming and great for spreadsheets use because of 10 KEY.

Asus is a big enough company to have some duds, but this ROG Strix Scope II X has to be one of the best keyboards in its value class. While it has a terrible name, this keyboard feels incredibly solid the second you open the box. Great textured key feel, and just enough clicky to sound good, but not be obnoxious. (I am an extra clicky "blue switch"/loud keyboard enthusiast for the most part, so some may still consider this board a bit loud as the keys bottom out) The RGB has to be the smoothest I've seen in a while, in full "rainbow" mode, it seems to just glide by effortlessly. (Some Asus software is meh at best, but Armoury Crate/Aura Creator aren't awful) The multifunction button took some getting used to, but its such a smart idea, and works/is implemented well! I was getting by with a fancy 75% keyboard before this, and while I liked the size on my desk, I really missed having a full size keyboard. (On the plus side for this Scope II X, its not a giant full size keyboard, actually quite trim for being well spaced out) Playing DOTA2 online I felt like I was hitting the wrong keys when I first got it setup. Then I realized, due to the size difference, I was automatically putting my fingers over a whole key, but I then noticed the "w" key has a small dot/bump on it. Easily lines you back up, while being much smaller/subtle than the normal bumps on the F and J keys. Easily recommended, great keyboard overall, while being a good value!

Finally the perfect mix between a gaming keyboard and an everyday keyboard! I love gaming keyboards in general but THIS is the keyboard that hit every check box for me. 10 key, lighting, solid yet light weight, comfortable wrist rest, key swapping and switch swapping tool, and a satisfying but not too loud key sound. I can't think of anything I would change on this keyboard. I love the sleek black look with the fun font on the keys. I love the 10 key and that the addition doesn't make the keyboard feel huge like others do. The wired connection is solid and the included cord will hold up to daily use with ease. The back lighting is vibrant and the colors are rich. Setup and connection was as easy as plug and play for basic use. I've been using it at my work from home job and also for gaming to see how it performs for both. Keys are responsive and snappy. No lag or timing concerns. Key presses feel solid and the sound is so satisfying. And the colors just make sitting down at the desk fun.

nice keyboard, has everything I wanted. It does take time to get used to but, most of that is human error (ME)

My first asus keyboard and I'm very happy with it. The keys are very tactile, but not super loud like some mechanical keyboards. No issues with imput like my previous razer keyboard.

i liked this keyboard but the mouse from asus didnt like so i returned it has loud keys though . i settled on a different brand because asus didnt have the mouse i liked. i like to have the same make for the lighting software and key bindings to work in the software properly .

It ligth for it full size and easy to use it programable buttons.

Best Buy advertises this model as wireless; it is not! This must be plugged in via the USB C to USB A cable for it to work! When opening the box, I was searching for some type of wireless dongle to connect to my pc; but, lo and behold, there was none. I searched this specific model number online and found that other retailers do not advertise this as wireless! The box specifically states it is wired only! There are no wireless versions of this model #! False advertising!

The typing experience on this keyboard is noticeably smoother and quieter than what I’m used to, while still keeping a clean, satisfying click. Key presses feel controlled and consistent with no harsh bottoming out of the keys, which makes long gaming or typing sessions much more comfortable. The sound profile is refined instead of loud or hollow, hitting a nice balance between feedback and noise. The ability to swap key caps and switches on the fly is a great feature that adds flexibility without needing to turn off the computer to change keys. I just have not found a reason where I needed to change in a hot swap manner. The programmable button near the scroll wheel is another unique feature. Being able to customize it for volume, brightness, media controls, or anything else you want ends up being more useful than expected for everyday use. I found this to be extremely comfortable and very consistent when playing Fortnite, Forza and Flight Simulator. The keys allowed me fast reactions, and nothing seemed delayed. Also the coating on the keys was nice and soft but after 30 or more minutes of gaming they can become slippery if your hands get a little sweaty which was my experience. Armoury Crate ties everything together well. The software feels smooth and responsive, making it easy to remap keys, create profiles, and tweak RGB lighting without digging through confusing menus. Changes apply quickly and make customizing the keyboard feel effortless. There are a couple of small downsides. The lack of RGB lighting for the secondary functions on the number and F keys makes them harder to see in low light and feels like a missed opportunity on an otherwise complete keyboard. The wrist rest is soft and comfortable, but the material seems like it will collect dust easily. Overall, though, it’s a well rounded keyboard that balances comfort, customization, and performance effectively.

So I received my ASUS ROG Strix Scope II X Wired Gaming Keyboard a few weeks ago and have been putting it through its paces. First off, ASUS is an amazing brand that I've come to love over the years from the various products the make. I've never purchased or received a bad product from them that I didn't like, so I knew the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II X Wired Gaming Keyboard would not fail me. Upon opening the package, you'll find: * ROG Strix Scope II X Wired Gaming Keyboard * Detachable Wrist Pad * ROG-themed Spacebar Keycap * 2-in-1 ROG Keycap & Switch Puller * USB-C Cable * ROG Sticker * User Documentation Right off the bat, one of my immediate favorite things I love about this gaming keyboard is that this is a full-sized keyboard with the numeric keypad on the right side. Next is as with all ASUS products that I've used in the past, is its amazing build quality. Very solid, so kudos to the ASUS R&D team for such a sturdy and solid keyboard. Once you get everything unpacked, connect it to your Windows 11 PC, just load up your favorite game and get ready to be impressed. The RGB lighting is nothing short of amazing. Once I got going it was hard to stop, this keyboard is amazing, the keys are easy to reach without any lag and another great feature is the switch function button and multi-wheel above the numeric keypad. It allows you to change various settings to your liking. You can also download the Armoury Crate software to tweak and adjust your settings even further. Everything just vibes so well together. You can't go wrong with this gaming keyboard. And lastly you can change out the included spacebar key that looks better than the one that comes installed.
