## Description

Take on all comers with ROG Strix Scope RX, the first mechanical RGB gaming keyboard featuring exclusive ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches. These switches provide a 100-million-keystroke lifespan and offer consistent linear keystrokes with immediate response. In addition, each switch has a central RGB LED to give every key all-round lighting. Strix Scope RX also offers IP57 water and dust resistance, an alloy top cover, and USB 2.0 passthrough. Like all Strix Scope series gaming keyboards, it has a wider Ctrl key and a Stealth key for FPS gamers. Go confidently into battle with ROG Strix Scope RX. The ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches are the first to be developed by ROG. Extensive research, testing and fine-tuning have resulted in switches with a 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs. An initial force of 40g prevents accidental keystrokes, and goes all the way up to 55g for perfect rebound feedback. ROG RX Red switches provide a smooth and linear feel to give you near instantaneous response the moment you strike the key. ROG Strix Scope RX offers industry-leading IP57 dust and water resistance, ensuring it’s well-protected from spills and dust. It also has a durable aluminum alloy top plate that provides structural rigidity to give you long-lasting and reliable performance.

Review: A+++ Had it for 15 minutes, I'm already writing a review. Buying a 2nd right now to keep in reserve. - OMG. I have had this keyboard for a whole 15 minutes and I'm already here writing a review. I have used probably 25 diff. keyboard in my life, and I can say with 100% certainty: This is the best keyboard I have ever owned. Red Switches... Soft touch feel, not loud, and the sound the keys do make is pleasant. The switch action is SO soooo smooth. It is just soo comfortable. I was previously using the TUF Gaming K7, and it was great, however the keys on that were the loudest thing i have ever heard from a keyboard. Not this guy, quiet, smooth, comfy, i mean... just everything about it. Backlighting is bright, and even. Heavy but not ridiculous metal chassis.. i mean.. AAA+++. I honestly may buy a second to keep in New In Box for when i need it.. $130 on sale for $75 right now???? that's a steal for a keyboard of this quality. wow. another home run by ASUS.
Review: Great keyboard - Even though a newer version of this keyboard has already been released, this is a very good and inexpensive option. At one point I had three Strix keyboards at the same time: the Strix 2, the Strix 2 wireless, and this one. And honestly, it was very difficult to choose. I settled on the Strix 2 wireless, but purely because of the white color, since my entire setup is white.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are there two usb’s at the end of the cord? are you supposed to plug both into the computer for it to work?**
A: There are 2 ends because the keyboard has a USB port in one of the sides of the keyboard structure. They extra end powers that port

**Q: Can you change each key’s RGB individually?**
A: The keyboard has a led per key. The software that comes with it (armoury crate) allows you to set that up and has a lot of customization for the default aura modes. But there is another app (also from asus) that allows you to create your own color scheme, there you can change the color of each key and design your own color scheme

**Q: Is it compatible with Mac OS?**
A: It is only compatible with Windows as far as drivers and software is concerned. I do not believe there is software support when using Mac OS. I am sure it will still work if you plug it in or use it as a Bluetooth keyboard, but you will lose a lot of its main functions. The support page only shows support for Windows 10/11.

**Q: Is this really nine inches wide like it states?**
A: Yes Sr. This keyboard is amazing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Keytboard
*by M***E on December 16, 2025*

I got this keyboard, for my husband, to replace his aging ASUS Cerberus keyboard. He loves it. Optical switches are fast and light. Colors are great. Not using Armoury Crate because it is hot garbage. Highly recommend this keyboard for gamers and office workers.
