I asked ASUS to send a set of gaming peripherals so that there was something to drive Cyberpunk on - and that's what they sent me.

ENGINEERED TO LAST.

Extend your battlefield prowess with ROG Strix Scope PBT, the only mechanical gaming keyboard with Xccurate Design – an extra-wide Ctrl key for FPS precision. Hit the Quick-Toggle Switch for work or play, and push the Stealth key for instant privacy. The keyboard is even finished with an aluminum faceplate for everyday resilience with a touch of style. Power to victory, with the power of ROG Strix Scope PBT.

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.

INSTANT PRIVACY

A quick tap of ROG Strix Scope PBT’s Stealth key instantly hides all apps and mutes all audio, assuring privacy the moment you need it. Decorated with an iconic cloaked-figure motif, a second push of Stealth puts everything back to just the way it was.
