ASUS has given us a serious update to its top-of-the-line keyboard, the ROG Azoth. The ROG Azoth Extreme features a number of important improvements, including a carbon top plate and a spike system instead of feet.
ROG Azoth Extreme: The updated ASUS keyboard!
With this model, ASUS offers us a 75% keyboard in which there is no numeric keypad, although there are some navigation keys and the numeric keypad.
The choice of materials is clearly top-notch, with an aluminum casing containing several layers of insulation to improve the keyboard's acoustics. In addition, the cover plate is made of carbon fiber. As for the keycaps, unfortunately it all depends on the geographical area. PBT or ABS is used, but in our case, it's a safe bet that the ISO FR layout is made of ABS.
Among the innovations is a system of spiked legs, which are held in place by a system of magnets. The aim is to reduce noise by reducing the surface in contact with the desk. Furthermore, the keyboard benefits from an innovative joint system whose firmness can be adjusted:

- Firm = better responsiveness, ideal for gaming
- Soft = greater comfort, ideal for writing tasks.
Of course, the keyboard also features a small OLED display for easy adjustment. We can also customize it to suit our needs.
Otherwise, the keyboard features factory-installed ROG NX switches, but they are hot-swappable and can be replaced with other five-pin models. Finally, the stabilizer bars are lubricated, while the space bar benefits from foam insulation to limit the “knocking” when pressed.
Now we just need to know the retail price of this keyboard, which doesn't seem cheap. The first version is already priced at 240 euros.
