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 overall. - This is a good keyboard. It's responsive and the keys feel good without being super loud and "clicky" the way many other gaming keyboards are. I've been using this daily for the past 4 years and haven't had any issues so far with performance or keys breaking etc. The only thing I find pretty annoying about this keyboard is that only the F1-F4 keys seem to work with most games. All of the others (F5-F12) have alternate uses as the "main" function, so none of them are recognized by default in any games. For some games, I was able to workaround this through aliases and some other things, but for others I simply have never been able to get them to work at all so you lose a lot of functionality/flexibility. This is a somewhat minor thing, and doesn't come into play too often, but when it does it can be a little bit annoying.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing keyboard with lots of features
*by A***R on January 31, 2021*

I had previously owned a razer keyboard that was clicky, load, and hard to press. I bought the Scope RX and the linear, optical switches actually feel so amazing. They're pretty quiet as well. The stabilizers on the keyboard are cream of the crop and the key caps will not shift/move much. Because they're red style switches, they're really easy to press. Initially, I had problems adjusting to the keyboard and my wpm dropped from around 110-70 but after a day of using, I've adjusted it to 94 wpm with 100% accuracy. RGB on the board is really good and comes with a lot of cool patterns if that's your thing. Overall, the quiet sound, easy presses, and solid build quality of the keyboard is a solid 5/5 from me.
