The ROG Azoth is a 75% gaming keyboard brimming with DIY features traditionally found in premium custom keyboards.
This advanced 2-inch OLED panel can be configured to display the status of the keyboard, including Caps Lock indicators, connection mode, and PC/Mac mode.
It can also display battery level, media information, custom animations, and system parameters such as CPU temperature.
Flexible Tri-Mode Connection
The wireless ROG SpeedNova technology offers up to 2,000+ hours of stable, uninterrupted gameplay with almost zero latency in 2.4 GHz RF mode (RGB and OLED off).
Alternatively, you can use the Bluetooth mode to connect to up to three devices simultaneously or charge and play at the same time in wired USB mode.
ROG SpeedNova wireless technology optimizes wireless data transfer to deliver industry-leading low-latency performance.
Even in noisy environments with radio frequency signal congestion from surrounding wireless devices, ROG SpeedNova ensures that the rate remains at maximum performance by reducing signal interference with strong connections and scanning for available frequencies with minimal interference.
Meticulously designed to minimize energy consumption.

Keyboard from another planet. How happy I am that big companies listen to the public and now make 75% Gasket mount keyboards!
Before you say that its price is high, just compare it to some other well-known mechanical keyboard companies where you need at least 200€. Here, however, it may be around 50€ more or less, but it truly deserves it.
As soon as you hold it in your hand, you realize that it is a very solid keyboard. The base may be plastic, but you really can't tell. It is so sturdy that you feel like it's made of metal. The typing experience is magical. You only hear and feel the switches, without any creaking, spring sounds, or other silly things, thanks to the gasket mount. It's like if you took the keyboard and had it modded. The only thing I haven't changed since I took it out of the box is the sound from the larger keys.
Pros:
- It's 75%.
- It's Hotswap.
- It's wireless (the Asus wireless performance is insane. In tests done by various reviewers, they are amazed at how fast it is! There's really no difference compared to using it with a cable.)
- It has an OLED screen. Beautiful with GIFs, just like you see on your PC. You can set it to show the date, time, temperatures, currents, usage, anything you want.
- Its battery life is incredible. Asus claims it can last for 2000 hours of continuous use! That's almost 3 months without charging (with RGB and OLED turned off, of course). I use it with RGB and OLED screen, for daily use, from work to gaming all day long. It goes from 100% to 20% in 20-25 days. Unbelievable!
- Inside the box, there's a complete set for lubricating the switches. This set alone would cost around 30€.
Cons:
- Definitely the software. Not that it's so bad, but the keyboard is so good that the software seems a bit lacking.
- Lighting: It's quite low, even at maximum brightness. At its maximum, it's like the medium intensity of other RGB keyboards. And no, it's not the keycaps, I've even tried ABS, and the lighting is still low.
- OLED screen: I would have liked it to have more features, like showing statistics and information from the games you play.
Yes, I recommend it if your budget allows. But as I said, at a price of 250-260 and not something like 550 that I see.
