Azoth Extreme keyboard lands from ASUS Republic of Gamers

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) recently announced the launch of Azoth Extreme, a custom 75% gaming keyboard featuring a precision-crafted aluminum-alloy chassis with metal frame, delivering premium aesthetics and top-tier wireless performance. A carbon-fiber positioning plate delivers a crisp typing feel and keeps keystroke vibrations down to a minimum. The keyboard includes an adjustable gasket mount that can be toggled to offer a hard or soft typing feel via a quick-flip switch. A full-color OLED touchscreen on the top right corner of the keyboard can show system info and keyboard settings; with the adjacent three-way knob allowing for instant volume, multimedia, lighting adjustments, and settings customization. An extended wrist rest ensures comfortable typing experiences and retains its firmness over time.

The eye-catching ROG Azoth Extreme gaming keyboard boasts a premium aluminum-alloy chassis with a metal frame that undergoes an intricate 12-step manufacturing process that includes sandblasting, anodizing, CNC machining, and more. Additionally, the Azoth Extreme achieves an impressive 8000 Hz polling rate when used with the ROG Polling Rate Booster, while offering up to 1600 hours of battery life.

The ROG Azoth Extreme features crisp typing and sublime acoustics

The ROG Azoth Extreme uses a carbon-fiber positioning plate instead of FR4, steel, PC, POM, or brass, which are commonly found in other gaming keyboards. Carbon fiber offers metal-like rigidity for crisp typing sensations; and its elasticity provides excellent shock absorption to effectively minimize vibrations while typing.

The Azoth Extreme utilizes three dampening layers, with two PORON layers and a silicone pad to absorb vibrations and minimize switch pinging and echoes to offer sublime acoustics.

Adjustable gasket mount

An innovative gasket-mount design allows users to adjust the typing feel via a quick-flip switch found on the bottom of the keyboard. In Hard typing mode, the ROG Azoth Extreme delivers firm keystrokes with quick rebound that’s ideal for gaming. Alternately, Soft mode offers a more cushioned and bouncy feel to ensure comfort during extended typing stints.

Full-color OLED touchscreen

The 1.47-inch full-color OLED display on the upper right of the ROG Azoth Extreme can show various types of information including keyboard connection status, Caps Lock, and PC/Mac mode indicators. Tapping and swiping on the high-resolution OLED screen allows users to view other various functions such as hardware info and the KPS feature that displays the user’s keystrokes per second. 

Additional features

The ROG Azoth Extreme has pre-lubed ROG NX mechanical switches that provide smoother keystrokes with better acoustics. Tri-mode connectivity allows users to connect devices via Bluetooth, low-latency ROG SpeedNova 2.4 GHz RF wireless, or standard wired USB; with Bluetooth enabling simultaneous connections and easy switching between three devices. A bundled extended silicone wrist rest that aesthetically matches the keyboard ensures typing comfort and retains its firmness over time. Lastly, the Azoth Extreme includes two pairs of magnetic feet of different heights, giving it three tilt angles to suit user preference.
