Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard

The ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard has been designed to deliver premium gaming performance, advanced wireless flexibility, and refined typing acoustics in a compact 96% layout. All essential function and number keys have been retained while desk space is efficiently optimized, making it suitable for competitive gaming setups, productivity workstations, and streaming environments. With a chassis that is only slightly wider than a standard 80% keyboard, a cleaner and more organized desktop experience can be achieved without sacrificing functionality.

Tri-mode connectivity has been integrated to support Bluetooth® pairing for up to three devices, ultra-low-latency 2.4GHz wireless operation with ROG SpeedNova technology, and wired USB connectivity for uninterrupted performance. Pre-lubed and hot-swappable ROG NX mechanical switches have been included to provide smooth, stable, and satisfying keystrokes with improved acoustics. Integrated sound-dampening foam and switch-dampening pads have also been engineered to reduce unwanted keyboard noise and echo, creating a more refined typing and gaming experience.

Enhanced usability has been further supported through programmable hotkeys, multifunction controls, per-key RGB lighting, and ergonomic adjustments with three tilt angles and a detachable wrist rest. The keyboard has also been equipped with the ROG Omni Receiver, allowing multiple compatible devices to be connected through a single wireless receiver for a cleaner setup.
