ASUS ROG AZOTH 75% Wireless Custom Gaming Keyboard - Gunmetal

This keyboard is fantastic, as one that doesnt care much for macro's or changing that much to do with the keyboard using the software has been a very set and forget so I really dont have anything to say with the software.
My wife doesnt even know im typing compared to all the previous mechanical keyboards that I've had. Its so much quieter than all the previous ones.
If you have ever only had Cherry MX switch keyboards in the past or watched videos where they say they are scratchy, once you type on this and then go back to a Cherry switch you will finally understand what they are talking about.

The smoothest and one of the quietest typing experiences, solves all my multi device issues too with the function switch from mac to pc and has the symbols for both on the keys included.

Its great, I dont know what else I can say

Ultra-low latency wireless technology, durable battery, relatively smooth switches, and it even comes with a lubricant applicator and lubricating oil, making this keyboard very good for a mass-produced customized keyboard. The only possible drawbacks are the relatively high price and the poor performance of the Armoury drivers. The entire process from downloading and installing to upgrading and using the Armoury drivers is very cumbersome, often lagging, and occasionally freezes causing the keyboard to malfunction.

This keyboard seems to be made exceptionally well. Good solid feel when typing.
However, the keycaps are a major drawback. The font on the keys is based on a stylized block design, The A looks like an R ,the J is two straight lines, the @ looks like two squares inside each other. Given that the background colour is dark grey and the font color is slighly less dark grey the keys are practically illegible. In normal office lighting conditions you just can't read them.

The backlighting is too dim when viewed under the single color blackish keys. Only a little light can get out round the gaps, and in normal light you would hardly know the L...view more This keyboard seems to be made exceptionally well. Good solid feel when typing.

The backlighting is too dim when viewed under the single color blackish keys. Only a little light can get out round the gaps, and in normal light you would hardly know the LEDs were on. The selection of LED effects is fairly limited, and there doesn't seem to any way to download others.

The documentation is inadequate. It consists of two panels in a large sheet with the same thing in multiple langages. It is in a tiny font and too abbreviated to be much use. There is an online reference but it does give any more detail on how use all the feature built in.

There is a little LED window on the top right. This has the Asus logo constantly swirling around. I find it extremely distracting. You can turn it off, but every time you come out of screen save mode, it comes on again.

The keyboard comes with Blue cherry type keys. I have used these before on a Corsair keyboad and enjoyed the satisfying positive clicks they gave. These keys do not give a clear click, they give a faint smushy sound that no way resembles a typewriter.

Having spent such a lot of money on it, I was very disappointed.

I have now replaced (most of) the original keys with a set of SteelSeries Prismcaps, These have transformed the keyboard into something usable. The LED effects can now be seen, the key legends are readable, and even the feel is improved by the new sculpted and angled keys.

Oh. and if you give them your email you will get spammed to death.
