Meet the ROG Strix Scope II X: Full-size layout meets hot swappable switches

Sitting proudly on the desk of every pro gamer, and every kid learning the controls of Minecraft for the first time, is a keyboard. These humble input devices have improved rapidly over the last few decades, and ROG has been hard at work refining the secret sauce of what makes a gaming keyboard truly great. The new full-size ROG Strix Scope II X is the latest in a long line of premium custom gaming keyboards with tons of killer features at an incredibly attractive price point. Let’s dive into what makes this keyboard worthy of your next battlestation upgrade. 

Take control: A full-size keyboard with a multi-function wheel 

Some gamers have limited space. Maybe it’s a small desk, maybe the whole dorm room is limited. For those gamers, we have 60 and 75% keyboards that fit their lifestyle. But if you have the room, there is nothing more versatile than a full 100% keyboard layout. Both in game and out, a numpad can be much more convenient than the standard number keys at the top of a keyboard, and access to legacy keys like Page Up and Page Down allow for easy substitutions for macro keys in all of your favorite games, without having to sacrifice a single critical keybind. 

The ROG Strix Scope II X makes controlling your setup easier than ever. The multi-function wheel and button let you adjust volume, media playback, or even recording features without tabbing out of a game. Plus, the F1–F5 keys double as Xbox Game Bar shortcuts, giving you quick access to essential tools while you stay in the zone. You can even make on-the-fly macro recordings, setting a complex sequence of keys with just one button press to make the most out of your fully programmable keys. 

Killer switches: ROG NX Storm and NX Snow V2 

When you pick up the ROG Strix Scope II X, the first thing you’ll notice is the feel of the keys. Our clicky ROG NX Storm mechanical switches V2 offer 1.8mm of actuation and 65gf of actuation force, so every press is precise, responsive, and satisfying. And because they’re hot-swappable, you’re free to customize them anytime—no limits, no fuss. We also offer a model with linear NX Snow switches with the same 1.8mm of actuation but a softer 53gf of actuation force and ultra-smooth travel.  Both the NX Storm V2 and NX Snow V2 switches feature an added LED lens to let the RGB glow shine brighter than ever, and with hot-swappable switches, you can always tweak your keyboard to perfectly reflect your taste. 

You’ll also notice how solid and premium this keyboard feels. The aluminum top plate and PBT doubleshot keycaps give it a weighty, durable presence while keeping each key crisp and resistant to wear. Whether you’re smashing through combos or typing your next killer memoir, these keys are built to last. And yes, we thought about the sound too. Inside, we added sound-dampening foam to minimize pinging and echoing. That means your gameplay stays immersive, focused, and distraction-free—because you deserve nothing less. 

Settle in with a detachable wrist rest and ergonomic adjustments 

Comfort? We’ve got you covered. The detachable wrist rest positions your hands just right for long sessions, or can be removed if its not right for your setup. The Strix Scope II X also features three angle adjustments so you can dial in exactly what works for you, letting you focus on what matters: winning.  

And let’s not forget the look. A Sleek Obsidian black finish, customizable Aura Sync RGB lighting on every key, and a clean, angular design give your desk a modern, commanding presence. 

Stay in control with ROG 

This isn’t the only cutting-edge gaming keyboard ROG has to offer. A close sibling is the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless, with a slightly altered 96% layout that offers a space saving compact design with many of the same features like a numpad that make full-sized keyboards shine. For those who need even more compact keyboards, we also have the ROG Azoth X and ROG Azoth Extreme, the latter of which boasts hyper-premium features like a carbon fiber positioning plate and a three layer dampening system to keep switch acoustics sublime. No matter what ROG keyboard you choose, you’ve already won the style war.
