Can Buy

Battery life is about a week with the wireless 2.4GHz receiver, but you can probably get more juice if you use the built-in Bluetooth. This keyboard supports Asus Aura Sync, which lets your keyboard switch the backlight colours based on the game. You'll need the Asus Armory Crate app for this, but I'm not a big fan of the app. However, you can use it to customise the colours, and sync it with all your other Asus RGB devices.

Allround-PC recommendation

The unconventional 96 percent format and key sound is a matter of personal taste, but is an excellent solution for a compact format without sacrificing the NumBlock.

9 out of 10

Very robust despite its compact size, its design is not only ergonomic, but also of very high quality. Extremely well finished, the Strix Scope II is of almost flawless in terms of quality. [...] The switches, which are replaceable on the fly, are ultra-smooth when pressed and very silent, which doesn't stop them from being extremely responsive to pressure. [...] Performance, precision and comfort - what more could you ask for?

Silver Award

...the switches and stabilisers have been improved with high-quality factory lubrication, giving a smooth, quieter and, above all, very stable feel. A big plus in our opinion. Its compact 96% format is modern and very practical for everyday use, and we think it will soon replace the 100% format...

It's not like ASUS reinvents the wheel with its ROG Strix Scope II 96 wireless, but they take the existing wheel and make it better, prettier, more comfortable, and finally get something that's spectacularly good.

The materials, design and finish are top notch, and it is clear that ASUS wants to create a product that is also worth its weight. The RGB colors themselves are beautiful and adorn the keyboard very well.

Although the packaging is not as extensive as some other models, such as the ROG Azoth, the keyboard offers excellent performance and quality. The magnetic removable wrist rest is a nice bonus for long hours of gaming.
