A lot of Mechanical keyboards fight with aesthetics. It’s hard to do well! If the style is exaggerated, you could inhibit the functionality or simply too visually. If you stick to the basics, you could end up with a bland keyboard. Whatever you go, there is still a chance that you are wrong and that you have something that doesn’t look good.
But there was an influx of really well -designed keyboards recently: Keychron’s K2 he special edition is an excellent example, with the MCHOSE GX87 UltraNot to mention the countless high -end personalized keyboard kits available today. With most of these keyboards, the touchdowns take a rear seat – even if they look good, they are generally quite standard and minimal.
Asus adopts the opposite approach with the ROG Azoth X: a simple white case, but colorful and stylized. It is not the most conventional design, but they seem really good and manage to animate an office without resuming your configuration. This keyboard manages to appear well without sacrificing the substance – Azoth X has a 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, a 1000 Hz survey and an internal assembly which makes it both fun to type and easy to modify. It is available in white with NX click or linear switches, and includes a silicone rest. All this costs a nice penny, however, at $ 300.

This keyboard is the most comparable to Razer’s Blackwidow V4 75% in the dactylography experience. Both use a metal housing and a plastic background case with a seal support system and a plastic plate. The rigidity is similar, as is the sound profiles. The biggest difference is switching options: the keyboard at 75% RAZER is only available with touch switches, while ASUS offers linear and clicky switches.
The unit I received came with Linear Asus snow switches. They are a fairly light linear switch with a deeper striking sound and a coherent sweetness in all the pressure of the keys. They are not the The smallest switches I have testedBut the friction felt during the noise is both minimal and coherent, which leads to a striking experience which is always pleasant. These switches also have a minimum stem bombardment, which means that the key presses are stable and confident when entering. They require less force than Red switch Cherry MXRequiring 53 grams of force to a completely bottom bottom compared to the 60 grams of MX RED. This difference is noticeable and makes switches more reactive without as much risk of poor entry compared to a truly light spring (sub50g).
THE joint assembly system This maintains the keyboard in place resembles a mixture between a joint support and a toric seal support, because the rubber seals are pressed closely inside the case. This means that the striking feeling is consistent on the entire keyboard and feels more connected to the case compared to a standard foam seal. It still has part of the rebound and the expected sweetness of a joint support, but these are many comparable keyboards.
Azoth X stabilizers are mounted on a standard plate, lubricated from the factory. Although the plate mounting stabilizers are generally less stable than the PCB assembly, those used here always feel good and have no rattle out of the box.

There are a lot of things that I like in design. The keys are slightly flatter than the middle keycap and have a two -room assembly with a transparent back for RGB diffusion. The case has an elegant and angular design that looks elegant and in the era of space without taking up a lot of space.
