ASUS Gaming Peripherals
Premium Price for Innovation
The gaming accessories industry has always been distinguished by its increased cost of production. The new ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme keyboard is no exception, setting a new benchmark for pricing in the segment.
Specs and Features
ROG Azoth Extreme retains the design of its predecessor, but offers a number of improvements. The device features 81 hot-swappable keys and uses proprietary ROG NX switches. There is a color OLED display in the top right corner, and below it is a customizable mini wheel.
Technical advantages
The keyboard is made in an aluminum case and supports various connection methods: Bluetooth, wired and wireless. The polling rate is impressive at 8000 Hz in both wired and wireless modes, which is a significant improvement over the previous model.
Weight and Ergonomics
ROG Azoth Extreme weighs an impressive 2200g including the wrist rest, which makes it stand out from its competitors. A high polling rate can be especially useful in fast-paced shooters where every millisecond matters.
Market Competition
It's worth noting that it's not just gaming keyboards that can command such a high price. For example, Microsoft's Surface Pro Flex keyboard is also in the premium price segment, selling for $449.98.

Wow, 500 bucks for a keyboard? This is too much. I'd rather spend that money on an RTX 4070 graphics card. 8000Hz polling rate sounds impressive though 🤔
Olga
Antonio, I agree, the price is steep. But for esports athletes, every millisecond counts. Maybe this is a justified investment for them? 🎮

Guys, what about an OLED display? Its cool! You can customize it for yourself and display useful information. I would try it if I had some extra money 😅
Marie
Hans, the OLED display is, of course, a feature. But I'm more interested in the ability to hot-swappable keys. This is a huge plus for customization! 🛠️

Bullshit! In my day, a $10 keyboard worked great. These newfangled toys are a waste of money. It would be better to read a book!
Isabella
Gerhardt, times are changing! Nowadays gamers are a whole industry. And such keyboards are their working tool. Although I agree that the price is astronomical 🚀
Jakub
But it seems to me that ASUS simply hyped up extreme sports fans. Extreme in the name, extreme price. Marketing 80 lvl 😎
Antonio
Jakub, you definitely noticed! Although, seriously, the aluminum body and weight of 2.2 kg are really cool. It feels like a solid thing 💪
