As an avid keyboard enthusiast, I was thrilled to see the new ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme at Computex 2024. This upgraded version of the already impressive ROG Azoth keyboard features a number of improvements that make it a must-have for gamers who demand the best possible performance.
One of the most notable upgrades is the faster 8,000Hz polling rate. This means that the keyboard can communicate with your computer 8,000 times per second, which is significantly faster than the standard 1,000Hz polling rate. This results in a more responsive and accurate gaming experience.
Another major upgrade is the new color touchscreen OLED display. The original ROG Azoth had a black-and-white OLED display, but the Extreme version now has a full-color display. This makes it easier to see your settings and adjust them on the fly. The OLED display also includes some new widgets, such as a keystrokes per second view that shows you how fast you can type.
Finally, the ROG Azoth Extreme has an adjustable gasket mount. This allows you to customize the typing feel of the keyboard. The gasket mount can be tightened or loosened to change the height of the switch plate within the keyboard. This affects the amount of bounce and travel that each key has. It’s a great way to fine-tune the keyboard to your personal preferences.
Overall, the ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme is a significant upgrade over the base model. It offers a faster polling rate, a more vibrant OLED display, and an adjustable gasket mount. These improvements make the ROG Azoth Extreme one of the best gaming keyboards on the market.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the ROG Azoth Extreme for testing. I’m confident that it will be one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used. However, I do have one concern: the price. The base model ROG Azoth already costs $250, so I imagine the Extreme version will be even more expensive. I hope that ASUS doesn’t price the keyboard out of reach for most gamers.
