ENGINEERED TO LAST

ROG Strix Scope PBT majors on durability – and that's why we've equipped it with PBT keycaps. The ultra-durable matte finish reduces key fading and surface wear over time, while thicker keycap walls bring stability and foster confident clicks. When you step up to PBT, you'll fight and frag with firmer intent.

BUILT FOR FPS GAMERS

The world-class ROG R&D team scrutinized the play style of FPS gamers, applying their findings to create a key that's more than 2X broader than traditional Ctrl buttons. The result is Xccurate Design: the extra-wide Ctrl key for fewer missed clicks and greater precision.

READY FOR WORK OR PLAY

The Quick-Toggle shortcut prepares ROG Strix Scope PBT for gaming or the daily grind, toggling the top row between media or function (Fn) key input – so it's easy to switch modes for work or play. The keyboard is topped with an aluminum faceplate for everyday resilience, and finished with a striking slash aesthetic for a little touch of style.
