ROG Strix Scope PBT

First interaction of typing with ROG STRIX SCOPE PBT keyboard gives a distinct feeling, you no longer click-click feel of regular ABS keycaps, instead you feel a rough uniform finished texture with a very dull sound of PBT keys giving a very pleasing experience. ROG STRIX SCOPE PBT Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a solid build like a tank full-size keyboard with high-end durable PBT keycaps . Indeed this keyboard is designed specially for FPS players.

The ROG Strix Scope PBT is a solid keyboard It has the necessary features but doesn’t have any unnecessary add on we see on other gaming keyboards these days. The lack of additional buttons and overly-fancy design means you get a compact keyboard that nails the basics. The PBT keycap offers much better longevity than standard ABS keycaps.

But that’s not to mean that there aren’t any downsides. ABS is susceptible to wear and tear over time, breakage even. But more so than not the coating starts to fade and will develop a sheen, which really makes it look old and worn even with careful usage.

Even though it had disappointed me in some areas, I see the benefit of having a bigger ctrl was a good feature, especially in FPS games. I can honestly say that sometimes I mistakenly hit the windows key during my gaming sessions. Switching the F5-12 keys with media keys and other functions was a good feature as well. I tend to use more the media commands rather than the f5-12 keys on a keyboard.

ROG Strix Scope PBT 定價 NT$2890，Strix Scope TKL Deluxe 定價 NT$3490，兩者都各自有其強項，使用者可依喜好進行挑選。但筆者最期待 ROG 能推出雙色成形 PBT 透光鍵帽的鍵盤，畢竟 PBT 材質手感和耐磨損程度都遠勝於 ABS。

ROG STRIX Scope PBT在針對FPS設計而生這點上，提供的最直接功能就是在左下的Ctrl鍵加大設計，玩家們倒也別以為就這個設計有什麼稀奇？錯了，其實對於射擊遊戲玩家來說，即便不考慮自己的按鍵設置是否真的會用到，但左Ctrl鍵的加大，意味著更方便好按、同時也可以避免誤觸旁邊Windows鍵和Alt鍵的可能，更別提ROG STRIX Scope PBT在Windows按鍵上也設計了鎖鍵防誤觸的設計，因此，就這點設計來說，它雖然只是小小的一步、但卻是射擊遊戲玩家的一大步。

The ASUS ROG Strix Scope PBT is a great example of what a real gaming keyboard should be like. ASUS ROG Strix Scope PBT is a very interesting version of a mechanical keyboard from a well-known brand, one of the few in its class and price category, equipped with keycaps made from PBT.

Looking at all the specs and great testing results this ASUS ROG STRIX keyboard, SCOPE PBT gets the PC Crazy Approved award.
