The new keyboard is here: ASUS has introduced the ROG Azoth Extreme, a new 75% gaming keyboard that impresses with its high-quality workmanship, flexible customization options and advanced technology. The keyboard is aimed at demanding gamers and technology enthusiasts who are looking for the best in terms of precision and comfort. Following its launch at Computex 2024, the keyboard is now available in stores.
With its aluminum housing, OLED touchscreen and impressive battery life, the ROG Azoth Extreme promises an exceptional typing experience. Below is an overview of the most important highlights of this keyboard:
- Aluminum alloy body: high-quality materials and CNC-machined components for extreme durability.
- Adjustable seal mount: Customizable typing feel for different requirements.
- OLED touchscreen: Clear display of system information and more.
- Tri-mode connectivity: Connect via Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz RF wireless or USB.
High-quality workmanship and durable design
The ROG Azoth Extreme stands out from other gaming keyboards with its outstanding build quality. The chassis is made of aluminium alloy and is manufactured in an elaborate 12-step process that includes sandblasting, anodizing and CNC machining. This attention to detail not only gives the keyboard a first-class appearance, but also makes it remarkably robust.
In addition, the metal frame of the keyboard in combination with a carbon fiber positioning plate ensures a crisp typing feel. The use of carbon fiber is particularly noteworthy, as this material is not usually used in gaming keyboards. It offers metal-like rigidity while absorbing vibrations for a smooth and precise typing experience.
With a battery life of up to 1600 hours and a polling rate of 8000 Hz combined with the ROG Polling Rate Booster, the Azoth Extreme also offers exceptional performance and longevity, making it the ideal choice for hardcore gamers who want to enjoy long sessions without interruptions.
Customizable typing feel thanks to adjustable gasket
Another highlight of the ROG Azoth Extreme is the adjustable gasket mount. A switch on the underside of the keyboard allows users to switch between a hard and soft typing feel. In hard mode, the keyboard offers a firm and fast touch, ideal for action-packed games where every millisecond counts. The soft mode, on the other hand, provides a springy and cushioned typing feel, which is particularly comfortable for longer typing or leisurely gaming sessions.
In addition to the gasket holder, the keyboard has three damping layers that effectively minimize vibrations and switch noise. Two PORON® layers and a silicone pad ensure that typing noise is reduced to a minimum, which not only improves the acoustic experience, but also contributes to a quieter and more pleasant working environment.
OLED touchscreen and flexible connectivity
In terms of user-friendliness, the ROG Azoth Extreme sets new standards with its 1.47-inch OLED touchscreen. The colorful screen displays important information such as connection status, mode (PC/Mac) and the Caps Lock button. But the display offers much more: hardware information and the KPS function, which displays the number of keystrokes per second, can be called up with a simple tap and swipe.
Tri-mode connectivity allows users to flexibly connect the keyboard to their devices. Whether via Bluetooth, ROG SpeedNova 2.4 GHz RF Wireless or a conventional USB cable – the Azoth Extreme offers the right connection for every preference. Particularly practical: in Bluetooth mode, up to three devices can be connected simultaneously and switched at the touch of a button.
Conclusion: A must for demanding gamers
The ROG Azoth Extreme combines innovative technology, high-quality materials and a variety of customization options that will appeal to gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. With its precise typing feel, comfortable design and practical OLED touchscreen, it takes the gaming experience to a new level.
The keyboard is now available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland at a price of 569.90 euros.
