## Features

- PLAY AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT – The first mechanical RGB gaming keyboard featuring exclusive ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches. These switches provide a 100-million-keystroke lifespan and offer consistent linear keystrokes with immediate response. In addition, each switch has a central RGB LED to give every key all-round lighting.
- ABOUT ROG RX SWITCH - ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches are the first to be developed by ROG. Fine-tuned to have switches with a 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs. Initial force of 40gf prevents accidental keystrokes, and goes all the way up to 55gf for perfect rebound feedback.
- READY FOR WORK OR PLAY - Quick-Toggle Switch prepares ROG Strix Scope RX 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.
- BUILT TO LAST - ROG Strix Scope RX offers industry-leading IP57 waterproof and dust resistance, ensuring it’s well-protected from spills and dust. It also has a durable aluminum alloy top plate that provides structural rigidity to give you long-lasting and reliable performance.
- CRAFTED FOR FPS GAMERS - After studying the play style of FPS gamers, the ROG R&D team created Xccurate Design: A Ctrl key that’s twice as wide as usual. In the heat of battle, the larger size makes it easy to quickly find and hit. Marked with an iconic cloaked-figure keycap, the Stealth key instantly hides all apps and mutes all audio, assuring instant privacy, whenever you need it. A simple tap engages it, and another tap brings apps and audio back up, as they were.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are there two usb’s at the end of the cord? are you supposed to plug both into the computer for it to work?**
A: There are 2 ends because the keyboard has a USB port in one of the sides of the keyboard structure. They extra end powers that port

**Q: Can you change each key’s RGB individually?**
A: The keyboard has a led per key. The software that comes with it (armoury crate) allows you to set that up and has a lot of customization for the default aura modes. But there is another app (also from asus) that allows you to create your own color scheme, there you can change the color of each key and design your own color scheme

**Q: Is it compatible with Mac OS?**
A: It is only compatible with Windows as far as drivers and software is concerned. I do not believe there is software support when using Mac OS. I am sure it will still work if you plug it in or use it as a Bluetooth keyboard, but you will lose a lot of its main functions. The support page only shows support for Windows 10/11.

**Q: Is this really nine inches wide like it states?**
A: Yes Sr. This keyboard is amazing
