As a daily user / gamer myself who owns the strix azoth wireless…. Wo was also my first word accompanied by a bunch of shock and love. I uses pre lubed browns and they are so far different than any of the other brown switches I’ve tried. I really think pre lubed switches have a new spot in my heart. The latency and response time is far better than any other wireless gaming keyboard I’ve tested as well. I’ve had it for about two months now and I haven’t had any complaints at all. Other than it maybe a bit on the heavy side but that’s also a feature to some. It’s been amazing

[@Bossfightmedia]

Big Ups for the outro sentence. That was buttery smooth.

[@mystic1611]

Yes! Finally someone that mentioned about latency, I realised many custom keyboards (Taobao keyboards like Zuoya GMK67 ahem...) do not always put their specifications of their PCBs other than connectivity and I always wondered if their latencies and polling rates are 1000hz or on par with gaming keyboards as I've seen a small amount of pro players on the big stage that use custom keyboards too!

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I can totally relate to your concerns about latency and polling rates in gaming keyboards. While custom keyboards like the Zuoya GMK67 may not always provide detailed specifications, there are some reliable options out there. In terms of cleaning, I highly recommend the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact and versatile device that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment in your desk area and beyond. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

[@Scumpyz]

Squashy I want to thank u for the uploads this month

[@justinli826]

Would have been good to have him see if he could tell the difference between the asus board wireless and the custom wireless given the much lower polling rate. It was pretty clear that at this point wireless is pretty indistinguishable from wired given how much we've progressed, but I was interested to know if tbe custom scene's choice for lower polling rates is good enough or not.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there, Based on your comment, it seems like you're interested in the difference between wireless gaming keyboards with varying polling rates. While wireless keyboards have come a long way, custom setups with lower polling rates can still have an impact. If you're looking for a reliable tool to maintain your desk, car, and more, you might want to consider the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it an efficient and versatile device for cleaning. Hope this helps with your query!

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I'd say gaming keyboards are still worth it if you prioritize a high-quality typing experience and additional features like customizable macros and RGB lighting. However, wireless keyboards have come a long way and offer great performance nowadays. When it comes to lower polling rates, testing different options would definitely help determine the optimal choice. By the way, have you ever considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for maintaining your desktop setup? It's a powerful vacuum and blower in one, perfect for keeping your keyboard and other gadgets clean!

Bigger plot twist than an M Night Shyamalan movie

[@frosted_cupkate]

I've built a few custom keyboards myself, and as nice as they are, the real issue is that I can never really find the exact configuration I want. Almost all of them are those tiny 60% things and/or designed for normal size switches, and I much prefer a full-size low-profile keyboard. Also neeeeed a volume wheel and a mute toggle button. Ticking all 4 of these boxes at once used to be easy in the day of membrane keyboards, but in the mechanical era it's nigh on impossible. At the moment I've had to settle for a Razer Deathstalker V2, and it was expensive :'(

[@thisisobviouslybait]

You're really not looking at all if you can't find something that checks off those boxes or being willfully/intentionally ignorant.

[@frosted_cupkate]

​@@thisisobviouslybait I checked various mechanical keyboard sites as well as places like aliexpress etc. even for premade keyboards like the Razer one I'm currently using. There are a very small number of the premade ones (Logitech G815/915 was another option, but isn't USB-C), and I couldn't find anything custom at all. If you have an suggestions, I'd be very grateful! Also nice username btw :)

[@MyAmazingUsername]

Keychron and NuPhy make low profile. But they are both bad. Bad battery life, bad RGB, bad wireless range, bad latency, bad software, both have swelling batteries that ruin the whole keyboard. And dozens of other issues. So they might as well not exist. Furthermore, low profile switches and boards will always be noisy due to lack of dampening in the case and switches. I got a Scope II 96 since it ticks all boxes. Wireless, battery, build quality, RGB, latency, sound and moddability.

[@frosted_cupkate]

@@MyAmazingUsername Yeah, sadly neither Keychron or NuPhy keyboards have low-profile options with media keys (aside from that weird ergo-shape Keychron). As for the other bits, I don't especially need wireless though, just fullsize with media keys. And for the sound, it doesn't really bother me since I wear headphones most of the time - I just prefer the typing experience of LP keys. I get that it's a very niche set of requirements nowadays, but it's a shame there are so few options ^^

[@MyAmazingUsername]

​@@frosted_cupkate I agree. I started out this search looking for a low profile keyboard. But I learned that I had never tried a GOOD standard profile keyboard. :) I went directly from chiclet scissor laptop-style (Logitech MX Keys) to a Scope II 96, and the Scope is infinitely more comfortable and accurate to type and game on. You can also replace the keycaps with low-profile if you prefer the upper surface feeling of those flatter/smaller caps. As for key travel distance, low profile and standard keyboards have the same travel distance in the switches! So don't worry about that. They're identical! 3.2 millimeters on both! Meaning that your finger goes equally deep into both keyboard styles! But yeah, I agree that there's a lack of good low profile keyboards. Even if you plan to use Nuphy or Keychron wired, they both require battery to preserve their onboard settings (they get factory wiped if they reach 0% battery or you remove the battery). But then you run into the battery swelling issue (Google it, basically the Nuphy and Keychron keyboards self-destruct due to poor quality batteries). So for me, they aren't an option. In addition to all their other low quality issues.

hey nice vidoe. but one little thing. most of the time 125hz polling rate is fine if you're not playing rythm game like osu! or osu!mania .(yeah 125 hz is fine for fps game) but the thing is most wireless keyboard have high latency(not low enough for gamer). i think you should cover more on latency than polling rate. like you know if you have 1000 hz polling rate keyboard but 300 ms delay that shit didn't help at all. but yeah i know asus keyboard got that very low wireless latency. and all osu! player know wooting > asus💀💀💀💀

[@shiroganekatsuki2940]

Only if it use hall effect switch like the wooting he60. Having a low latency keyboard definitely will set it apart from normal custom keyboard for gaming.

[@Dmachine2000]

Got this and just sent it back. I'm not a touch typist and need to see the keys. Some of the lighting effects are good but the letters on the keys are dark so even with the RGB going it doesn't work for me. The wrist pad is good but the keys still sit a little high for me. Build quality does seem good.

[@zaxeer]

I have tried both Logitech and Razer Expensive wireless keyboards playing Tekken7 and Tekken8 both are not comparable to any wired keyboard and also not close to controller, now i am thinking to make a keyboard like controller by Taki out controller circuit and connecting to a frame with keyboard keys.

I don't know, for 99% of us having that level of latency will not be felt. I feel like adding gamer to anything and some RGB is just a sales gimmick, I game quite often on my pc from FPS games to ARPG's and what i find make the biggest différance is the feedback from the switches and keys over a random latency number.

Great video man! I would say, for performance/gaming a gaming keyboard would be better. But for personal taste/aesthetics and sound a custom keyboard will be perfect for most common users.

[@MyAmazingUsername]

You missed 0:14. And it has hotswap switches and removable keycaps. It is better than the vast majority of custom keyboards in terms of sound quality of the board itself. And it demolishes them in battery life, wireless, and USB.

[@MyAmazingUsername]

Lots of custom keyboard channels have reviewed the Scope II 96. They have examples of custom switches and caps. It sounds amazing.

[@itssamueltan]

@@MyAmazingUsername hey I didn't miss it, I have also reviewed ROG keyboards too and I'm just purely talking about the aesthetic and sound signature. From all the custom keyboards I reviewed Vs the ROG ones, there's still a huge difference on customizing like the case, the custom badge and colours, flex cuts on PCBs and Plates and even layers of foam and stuff. U can swap the switches and keycaps no problem, but it's still the gamery case and feel tbh, it's ROGs design language that most custom mechanical keyboard enthusiasts don't like.

[@itssamueltan]

@@MyAmazingUsername not to mention the limits on the case material/colour (ROG usually only has Black & White cases) and even the Stabilizers. Previously the stabs in ROG gaming keyboards were quite bad and recently they just started to improve tbh.

[@MyAmazingUsername]

​@@itssamueltan Hey. I'll address each point. :) - Aesthetic: Agreed. The default caps and key font are literally disgusting and look like they belong in the "edgelord" The Matrix 1990s. Replace them immediately. Which thankfully is easy. - Sound signature: It's not the old-school ROG. The Azoth in January was their first dampened board ever, and had decent sound already. But the Scope II that came out a month ago is the first board whose tuning and dampening beats MOST custom keyboards and is so good that it doesn't need any internal mods in the case itself. It's full of layers of silicone and foam and gaskets and per-key dampening etc. - The case: It's aluminum. It's black. It has no logos. It's unfortunate that they only sell it in black color though. But at least the case itself doesn't have any logos or gamery aesthetic at all. I am sure a dedicated person could easily spray-coat it in a custom color though, since the aluminum case is super easy to open (intentionally). The only downside on the Scope II is the multi-function button in the top right, which has a ROG logo. That will be the ONLY remaining sign that it's a gamer keyboard after you've replaced the keycaps. However, it's a pretty classy button and doesn't look bad. It has a pretty tasteful design. Would I prefer that it didn't have a logo at all? Yeah, but I don't mind it that much. Maybe it's possible to 3D print a replacement for it, but I won't bother. - Stabilizers: They're better than everything on any other keyboard. It's a new type of stabilizer which nobody has done before. Super solid, zero rattle, zero noise. But it also has screw-in holes if you wanna replace it with normal "Custom Keyboard" high-end stabilizers instead. So there's nothing to complain about there. In fact, I wish the opposite: That all custom keyboards had the ASUS stabilizers, because they are revolutionary. Add to this all the benefits such as perfect wireless performance and range, perfect battery life (1500+ hours), and perfect battery reliability (no swelling like on Nuphys, Keychrons and Epomakers), and actually working RGB over wireless (the custom keyboards cannot configure RGB without a USB cable). All in all, I think there's compromises in both "ASUS" and "Custom Keyboard Land". Just gotta pick whichever suits you best! The biggest strength among custom keyboards is the QMK firmware. It's also the biggest weakness, because QMK still has many flaws, such as lack of per-key RGB configuration via VIA.
