ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX TKL Deluxe Wireless Review

Rating: 8.5.

I reviewed the Asus ROG Strix Scope TKL Wired Moonlight White edition back in March and found that keyboard to be an excellent balance between performance, gamer aesthetic and overall build quality. Now, a month later we are checking out the ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX TKL Deluxe Wireless – but is it another solid performer? We put it to the test…

Pros:

• Fantastic feeling RX optical switches.
• Matte textured PBT keycaps.
• Bright and vivid per-key RGB.
• Tri-mode for multiple ways to connect.
• Premium aluminium top plate with no ping noise.
• Dedicated media keys.
• LED ROG logo to indicate battery life.

Cons:

• RGB lighting is not uniform on stacked or long keys.
• The space bar is a bit clanky.
• Non-standard bottom row.
• PBT keycaps are not easily replaceable due to the RX switch design.

KitGuru says: The ASUS Strix Scope RX TKL Deluxe Wireless is a great keyboard – offering excellent RX switches, great RGB, quality materials and three different connectivity options. There are minor issues, including the RGB being slightly dim on a few keys and the space bar isn't the quietest. But overall, for this price point, it doesn't disappoint.
