ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless | Premium 96% Gaming Keyboard

The ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless keyboard delivers a premium wireless gaming experience with tri-mode connectivity, hot-swappable switches, and advanced sound dampening. This 96% layout keyboard packs full functionality into a compact form factor, ideal for gamers who want maximum performance without sacrificing desk space.

Tri-Mode Wireless Freedom

The ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless offers three connection options to suit any gaming scenario. ROG SpeedNova wireless technology provides up to 1, 500+ hours of stable, near-zero-latency gameplay in 2. 4 GHz RF mode when RGB lighting is off. Bluetooth mode allows connection to up to three devices simultaneously, perfect for multi-device setups. For zero-latency performance, simply plug in via USB for wired charging and play.

Hot-Swappable Customisation

This keyboard features hot-swappable pre-lubed ROG NX Snow mechanical switches, allowing you to customise your typing experience by installing your preferred switch type. The ROG NX Snow switches utilise composite POM material for ultra-smooth keystrokes, with walled stem design for enhanced stability and dust prevention. Factory pre-lubing ensures consistent actuation and a satisfying “thocky” sound signature.

Advanced Sound Dampening

ROG engineers have incorporated a unique silicone dampening foam design with integrated switch-dampening pads to absorb pinging noises and echoes. This results in improved keystroke acoustics and a more refined typing experience, eliminating the hollow sounds often associated with mechanical keyboards.

Ergonomic Design for Extended Sessions

The keyboard includes a detachable wrist rest and offers three tilt angle adjustments for optimal ergonomics during long gaming sessions. The 96% layout maintains a full-function experience while reducing desk footprint, and the straight keyboard style with integrated numeric keypad ensures you don’t sacrifice productivity features.
