ROG Azoth Extreme Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 75% TKL, ROG NX Storm Clicky Switches, PBT Keycaps, Aluminum Chassis, Carbon Fiber, Gasket Mount, Color OLED Screen, PC/Mac Support - Black

The ROG Azoth Extreme is undeniably expensive, but it’s also one of the most unique and well-built mechanical gaming keyboards I’ve ever used. If you’re already invested in the ROG ecosystem, want everything to match visually, or just appreciate high-end mechanical keyboards with an exquisite design, this one checks nearly every box. The layered aluminum and carbon-fiber construction is both visually striking and extremely solid. You can actually see the stacked layers along the side of the board, which gives it a refined, almost industrial look that feels more like a piece of art than a typical gaming keyboard. The unboxing experience alone sets the tone. Everything is neatly presented in double-layered packaging with a removable drawer underneath, and the keyboard itself comes wrapped in a branded cloth cover. It immediately feels like a premium product. Setup was flawless but did require a Armoury Crate device driver update which installed smoothly and automatically. As someone who spends hours at my computer every day and has owned many mechanical keyboards, this board offers nearly everything I look for. You get a compact 75% layout, fully customizable key assignments and macros "on-the-fly," tri-mode connectivity (RF, Bluetooth, and wired), customizable RGB, a color OLED touchscreen, a multifunction control knob, Speed Tap for gaming, a gasket-mounted design with multiple dampening layers, carbon-fiber plate, and excellent battery life. The pre-lubed ROG NX Snow linear switches feel smooth and consistent, with a controlled sound profile that isn’t overly loud, making this keyboard perfectly usable for both gaming and productivity. The included wrist rest deserves special mention. It’s heavy, well-built, and extremely comfortable, with a rubberized surface that matches the keyboard’s front profile nicely. It doesn’t slide around and feels like it belongs with the board rather than being an afterthought. On the back of the keyboard, there’s a magnetic metal nameplate that cleanly finishes the design while hiding storage for the RF dongle and the physical gasket-adjustment switch. That said, the gasket adjustment is my biggest disappointment. While it’s a great idea in theory, the difference between the two settings is extremely subtle. Neither position is labeled, and while one setting sounds slightly more “thocky” and the other a bit firmer, the change is minimal. After doing some research, it appears this is a common complaint rather than a defect. My other criticisms are fairly minor but worth mentioning at this price point. Customization relies heavily on ASUS Armoury Crate, which can be finicky, and while the Gear web app works for basic adjustments, Armoury Crate is still required for full control. The included braided cable feels surprisingly basic for such an expensive keyboard, and switch lube isn’t included despite this being marketed as a customizable, enthusiast-grade board. The magnetic metal feet work well overall, but they can slide off if you move the keyboard aggressively across a desk. Typing on this keyboard is genuinely enjoyable. The key spacing, textured PBT keycaps, and smooth switches make long typing sessions comfortable and fast. While it’s clearly marketed as a high-end gaming keyboard, I find it just as enjoyable for everyday productivity. The lack of a numpad doesn’t bother me, as everything else I need is here. If you can find the ROG Azoth Extreme below full retail pricing, I would recommend it without hesitation. At full price, it’s more of a luxury purchase that you really have to want. Remove price from the equation, though, and this is one of the best gaming keyboards I’ve ever used.

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.

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!

A ticking spacebar is unnacceptable for the price. The value for money is horrible. Truly dissapointed with this product. There are keyboards that cost far less that sound far better. Pathetic.

Good but not worth that much, extreme actual worth around $300-$350

Not good not bad, but hard to use as the keys placed too close, at least a space F4 and F5, which by touch knows. The software is waste your time to hook up the thing. I returned it due to these.

I really wanted to love the Azoth Extreme Keyboard. The build quality and wireless performance are excellent—but unfortunately, the Armoury Crate software issues are hard to ignore. In wired mode, the keyboard flickers and becomes unstable, making it virtually unusable for typing. It’s a strange and frustrating flaw, especially at this price point. Wireless mode works flawlessly, but I couldn’t justify keeping a $500 unit with such a critical defect. I’ve returned it.
