ROG Azoth X Gaming Keyboard
Review and comparison of Asus ROG AZOTH X | New design and features are here. Unveiled at Computex 2025
Well, ASUS would not be Asus if they did not make another version of their best keyboard in my opinion. They improved everything inside. They improved everything outside because these keycaps are something incredible. They make this keyboard stand out as much as it needs to
This is a high-end keyboard with top-quality materials, assembly, engineering solutions, and design.
The ROG Azoth X is a 75% custom gaming keyboard built for discerning gamers and keyboard enthusiasts who demand precision and versatility. It features hot-swappable ROG NX V2 Mechanical Switches and dye-sublimated Stellar-themed ROG keycaps for enhanced durability and aesthetics. A south-facing PCB ensures compatibility with a broad range of switches and keycaps, while five dampening players, a gasket mount, and an FR4 positioning plate work in unison to provide refined typing experiences. The Azoth X boasts an OLED display with intuitive controls, tri-mode connectivity including 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova technology, a silicone wrist rest, three tilt angles, and Mac support.
Stylish and functional, the keycaps on Azoth X feature a three-sided semi-translucent design that amplifies RGB shine-through for a stunning visual display. The front and top of each keycap is dye-sublimated with the ROG Stellar theme, giving it a signature look while ensuring legends stay sharp and vibrant even after countless gaming sessions.
The innovative 2-inch OLED panel can show keyboard status, including Caps Lock, connection type, and PC/Mac mode indicators. It can also be used to display battery level, multimedia info, custom animations, or other system parameters such as CPU temperature. A side button and a three-way control knob provide intuitive control when selecting and adjusting various keyboard settings.

Based on the highly-acclaimed ROG NX Snow mechanical switches, the new NX Snow V2 are designed to meet the demands of custom keyboard enthusiasts. These switches retain the dust-proof, wall-stem design of the original series while adding an LED lens for enhanced RGB illumination. Each switch is lubricated to ensure consistent linear smoothness, delivering seamless and satisfying typing experiences.

When activated, Speed Tap mode prioritizes the latest input and automatically releases the previous one when two keys are pressed. This means that in FPS games, pressing two opposing directional keys (e.g., A and D) will no longer cause the in-game character to stop moving. Instead, directional changes can now be made immediately without having to release the previous key, eliminating any time gap for counter-strafing and ensuring precise aim every time.
*Speed Tap feature is turned off by default. Simultaneously press Fn + Caps keys to activate.
ROG SpeedNova wireless technology offers up to 1600+ hours of stable, uninterrupted near-zero-latency gameplay in 2.4 GHz RF mode (RGB and OLED off). Alternatively, you can use Bluetooth mode to connect to up to three devices at the same time, or charge and play simultaneously in wired USB mode.
The Azoth X also supports ROG Polling Rate Booster – an ROG-exclusive accessory that upgrades your keyboard polling rate up to true 8000 Hz in both wired and wireless mode.
*ROG Polling Rate Booster sold separately.
The ROG Omni Receiver allows wireless connection to one compatible keyboard and one compatible mouse at the same time with just one single USB receiver.
The spacebar has extra lubing and modifications for enhanced acoustics and feel. Additionally, five RGB LEDs under the spacebar create stunning lighting effects.
The pre-lubed keyboard stabilizer has been specially tuned with gamers in mind: it produces less friction, allowing long keys such as Spacebar, Shift and Enter to deliver keystrokes that stay true to the original switch feel.
The extended silicone wrist rest is tailored to perfectly complement the ROG Azoth X. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable typing experiences while providing firm support.
Users can swap and install their preferred switch type for a unique, customized feel.
*Even though the switches are hot swappable, it is not recommended to swap out switches when the keyboard is on as it could cause a short circuit.
Record macros on the fly and map them to fully programmable keys.
Save up to six profiles, including up to five custom schemes, and use them anytime, anywhere.
Every keystroke is registered accurately, no matter how many keys are pressed.
Easily toggle MacOS mode to remap the keys for use with MacBooks and Macs.
*Armoury Crate is currently not compatible with MacOS.
