i don't know if it's worth the price, but this does seem like a very premium keyboard compared to your average gaming keyboard. I think the only downsides are the keycaps, the price, no RT and needing to use armoury crate.

[@TechBroll]

While the ROG Azoth Extreme is definitely a solid and feature-packed gaming keyboard, the price tag is definitely hard to swallow especially for the mainstream market. If the price goes down to less than 350USD or below Php 20k would you consider it then? 🤔

[@jonahjameson272]

Yep I almost bought the clicky snows but went back to the aisle and got the linear! If the Extreme had a wider lcd screen I would be more interested for now the regular will have to do

[@isaachy777]

I have the rog azoth 75 og. It's legit good. Even the switches are good enough where I'm not in a rush to upgrade. I'll say though that 500usd will make me look at other keyboards from the true experts, keychron, nuphy, zoom, etc. They made the keyboard look a lot more fancy and put carbon fiber on it to justify the price increase, but that's not goint to make me buy it for 500, not even 400. Maybe for 200-250 I'd be interested. I'd rather have a custom keyboard done for that price or actually, I'd rather have multiple keyboards. I'm good with the rog azoth og. I'm also getting the keychron q1 max as my second bae though. Lemme ask Asus this though. Why didn't you also make a special refined tactile switch? No love for tactile? I'm focused on the typing experience and how much quicker it can make me, tactiles are perfect for that.

[@Code_String]

I'll give it to Asus for how much more they added on top of the Azoth. But 500$? Sheesh. The MSRP on the original Azoth was hard to swallow at 250$. The keyboard space has been offering some crazy value stuff for much less than what Asus' trying to sell. I own the regular Azoth but only because it went on sale a couple of months ago for 130-140$. The idea of paying twice/thrice as more is sheesh..

[@hmonroehowseriii485]

Are the letters/numbers/symbols easier to see with the keycap RGB off than in the original version?

[@Noahshollow]

Wirelss functionality that can be used for 4 days when you want all features turned on, no HE, no RT, LED brighness very low according to other reviews. All that for just 500USD amazing. Doesent matter if you build the whole thing from carbon at this point.

[@jake_kwekwek1474]

well build keyboard, i can only hope that i could catch this on sale.

[@jammies701]

Nice vid mate

[@TechBroll]

Thank you!

[@costantineyoussif6679]

I said it and i will say it again your HD6 looks sick on your setup, i ordered the HD3 and the HD4 just to see how they blend on my Magnus pro desk if not definitely i will go BIG HD6 👌, keep up the good work man

[@TechBroll]

Thank you so much my kind sir, In my opinion, the HD3 is a good bang for the buck speakers. If I didn't had the opportunity to get the HD6, I'm still going to be perfectly happy with my HD3. My HD3 is now on our bedroom paired with our LG C2 OLED TV and it's a match made in heaven!

[@GamerofGamesGG]

lol what the heck does ASUS think they’re selling? Gold? - It’s not even comparable to a wooting which is half the price. Awesome review btw. Good work.

[@TechBroll]

They need to reduce the price to make it viable to consumers. I’m pretty sure they will also jump into the hall effect and rapid trigger bandwagon soon but it definitely could help the case for the Azoth Extreme if it already has those features considering the current price. Maybe they are targeting this model to a completely different audience but still, it won’t hurt to be safe by having those modern features on their “flagship” keyboard

[@WooBino.]

I wish Logitech would come out with a new G19 which has more features and a bigger screen when released years ago.

[@icemanu]

I have an important question! Is it possible to rebind the screenshot key from FN + P to the function knob? Because I want to take a simple screenshot with just a little button press, as on a usual keyboard, by usually pressing Win + Print Screen. If it works on this one, by pressing/turning the Win + function knob to save a screenshot to my screenshots' folder or just press/turn the function knob to save a screenshot to the clipboard, I think it should also work on the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless. I would appreciate it if you could take a quick look at it in the software, because I have found no one doing or even trying this after days of searching. Or it's just not possible.

[@emrahkaracam]

Making the useless screen colorful is a huge improvement.

[@brandonjacques7696]

Try using TypeRacer.

[@costantineyoussif6679]

Do you ever get to have the S8 sub to pair it with your HD6? Im still on market for a good sub and not sure which the Klipsch 120SW also SVS SB 1000 pro is my top choice for now.

[@paolocoletti3424]

I would have auditioned those HD6's but Audioengine didn't incl a headphone jack on the front (or the back either !) like the smaller HD3's so was an absolute non starter for me. This means one would have to use ones own external DAC to have volume control with cans rather than using AE's built in one (using the Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4396 chip). Which rather renders it pointless and dim and a huge omission on their part. I used the money saved to get a S8 sub tho which is rather a game changer with the teenie HD3's and really is like night and day improvement overall.

[@TechBroll]

Yes I have the S8 paired with my HD6 and in my opinion, a subwoofer is a must for the HD6. The HD3 on the other hand is good enough without the S8 but also could definitely benefit from it. I have a dedicated video for that comparison here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6GweoCBjdx4ebc

[@TechBroll]

Yes Paolo, the lack of hadphone jack in front of the HD6 is a bummer. Also, I hate that infinity volume wheel!

[@xI-Chas3r-Ix]

Is the screen scratch resistant tempered glass or plastic?

It's scratch resistant glass

[@marcoalcala7873]

Very informative ...subbed

[@TechBroll]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that

[@selphy_]

Does it support normal cherry switches? I couldn't understand from the video.

[@TechBroll]

Yes it does, sorry for my english. I uploaded proper subtitles; you can turn on CC if you want. Thank you!

[@CireKanade]

May bagi nanaman akong pangarap. Btw ang galing ng review. Deserve million subs.

[@egpaker]

Does it have rapid trigger?

[@kingwellson1092]

Kuya may rog Strix scar g18 na po dito sa pinas sana ma notice mo po 😢😢 new subscriber po ako ninyo ❤❤

[@DejanImortal]

what speakers do you use :D

[@paolocoletti3424]

Those are active Audioengine HD6's in white

[@TechBroll]

Yes, I'm using the audioengine HD6. Probably my "End Game" speakers

[@LonCoyLexTonDre]

The BEST ROG Keyboard but it's too... PRICEY for sure LOL

[@djchoize295]

You can get a better keyboard for 150 USD, i'd rather pay extra for Wooting keyboard for 10k php

[@reijhinru1474]

You mean for another plastic keyboard 😂

[@djchoize295]

@@reijhinru1474 You can still get an alu case keyb under 150 usd, still cheaper then the previous ROG Azoth which is plastic 🤣

The 80HE has HX and RT, that's about all it's going to have over this. If you think Wooting is going to be as well built as this I need some of your copium.

[@NekoCattoo]

Where to buy?

[@TechBroll]

As of the moment it’s not yet available but I’ll keep the description updated

[@grant3363]

No hall effect switches is insane for a gaming keyboard at this price point

[@karlisaacotayde3417]

no HE? no RT? pass. Wooting 80 HE is just around the corner.

[@TechOwnage]

500$ wtf hahaha. anyways ano itsura ng name plate pag retail version na ng keyboard

[@TechBroll]

Same lang halos sir, bale yung ROG lang nasa gitna

[@TechOwnage]

@@TechBroll thanks.

[@MusakiZAN417]

... really i just bought rog azoth... im so regreting my life.

[@agentshenron]

$500??????????? I'll just build a custom lol

[@CooWhoala]

lmao 500 dollars. what is Asus smoking. not even a hall effect for that price wtf

[@kyliecorpus3043]

Pa shoutout po from AU! ❤️

[@TechBroll]

Shout out sayo bro! Ingat ka diyan and pasalubong na Kangaroo patty

[@wayne0320]

500$ is a good deal! You get a free laptop too, right???!

[@masteriyowtvlogs5154]

maganda pa jn yung AULA ehhh mas mura pa!!!

[@axismachineriesandfabricat3336]

Adding carbon fiber makes it $500, which I think is bad engineering. You don't need its strength on a keyboard.

It's not about adding strength. It's about adding the tensile strength for flex. Metal doesn't allow that. The carbon allows for less vibration (and also some shock absorption). The end result is usually better acoustics and feel.

[@axismachineriesandfabricat3336]

Ok. Given you are right about the tensile strength and vibration, do you really believe it is worth it for the price? For that little improvement? I do believe there are lots of cheaper alternatives in terms of material and design. Talking about acoustics, you can have better acoustics by just changing the physical design or implementation while keeping the same materials. That's why some keyboards sounds better than the other, having same dampening and casing materials but just differed in implementation. And don't forget that this is a gaming keyboard. Did Asus even marketed thisa as luxury keyboard? How could you spend a lot in just an improved tensile strength and acoustics? Performance is the main criteria in gaming keyboard market, not just the feel and acoustics. These are the reasons why I said it has bad engineering.

[@James28R]

Lots of salty poor people in the comments. nice review.

[@napoficial7123]

LCD os easy scratch 😂

[@xSeanok]

For people who are into custom mechanical keyboards, this is hot garbage. AHAHAHA

[@СвятославГородницький]

500 dolar + tax no tnx asus

[@alpacamale2909]

This keyboard is real zoomer cringe

[@TheEightDomain]

Knowing how garbage the previous version is, this is a hard pass even if they make it 200 usd lol

[@costantineyoussif6679]

I still love n rock the OG azoth, that doesn’t mean the latest always greatest 🎸🤘🏽

[@b.c.b.-2130]

There is no previous version. This is the first generation of Azoth Extreme. If you're referring to the base Azoth, that isn't the same board. Almost nothing is carried over (maybe the battery).

[@TheEightDomain]

​@@b.c.b.-2130 Same stabs, same trash switch, same thin keycaps, same fillers, and components just with a colored screen and different case/switch plate material/design, NOT EVEN HE SWITCHES LMFAOOO

[@TheEightDomain]

@@costantineyoussif6679 Yeah true its a decent keyboard but not worth the price tag, I had to mod mine ALOT just to make it sound and feel better.

[@b.c.b.-2130]

@@TheEightDomain the switches are different. The key caps are different. The "fillers"? You mean silicone and foam? I mean, sure I guess it's still silicone and foam, like every other keyboard out there, not really sure how they'd use different silicone and foam...but okay, I suppose all cars are the same because they all use carpet for the floors. "Components"? I'm not even sure what that refers to. But mkay. W/e. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ellison438]

PASS!! HAHA.

[@maxzoRHD]

Give me a version without that stupid OLED screen, and HE switches and i will buy it for 300.
