Overview
- The ASUS ROG STRIX SCOPE II 96 WL combines professional-grade mechanical switches with compact gaming design. Its 96% layout delivers the functionality of a full-size keyboard while freeing up valuable desk space—just 1 cm wider than standard 80% keyboards. The tri-mode connection system provides flexibility, switching seamlessly between Bluetooth for mobile devices, 2.4 GHz wireless with impressive battery longevity, or direct USB connection.
The pre-lubed ROG NX Snow switches deliver linear tactile feedback with enhanced stability through walled stem design, while integrated dampening foam significantly reduces keystroke noise. Pre-lubed stabilizers ensure smooth operation on larger keys without friction. This makes it suitable for both late-night gaming sessions and shared office environments.
Built for streamers and competitive players, the keyboard includes F1–F5 hotkeys pre-programmed for Xbox Game Bar and recording, alongside customisable multifunction controls. The detachable wrist rest and three tilt positions support extended gaming sessions. The ROG Omni Receiver enables multiple supported devices to connect wirelessly through a single receiver, simplifying workspace setup.
