## Description

Take on all comers with ROG Strix Scope RX, 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. Strix Scope RX also offers IP57 waterproof and dust resistance, an alloy top cover, and USB 2.0 passthrough. Like all Strix Scope series gaming keyboards, it has a wider Ctrl key and a Stealth key for FPS gamers. Go confidently into battle with ROG Strix Scope RX. ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches are the first to be developed by ROG. Extensive research, testing and fine-tuning have resulted in switches with a 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs. An initial force of 40gf prevents accidental keystrokes, and goes all the way up to 55gf for perfect rebound feedback. ROG RX Red switches provide a smooth and linear feel to give you near instantaneous response the moment you strike the key. 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. Convenient USB 2.0 passthrough lets you plug in a mouse or flash drive, or charge mobile devices. 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.

Review: good built quality and functions.
Review: Tiene muy buen sonido y software de personalización, te tienes que acostumbrar a este tipo de switches, ya que si vienes de Cherry Blue son diferentes a la hora de escribir, pero lo recomiendo ampliamente vale cada centavo jugar con el es un deleite

## 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

*by A***E on 19 May 2024*

Resistente, duradero y ese RGB qué es demasiado hace de este producto excelente. Yo no lo usaré ya que fue un regalo porque en lo personal no soporto el ruido de una tecla azul, pero para la persona que lo usa si le gusta esa retroalimentacion al tocarlo y escucharlo. Me sorprendió su RGB que es sorprendente y más que dará el doble que un teclado normal y eso de Rog. Sin duda un buen teclado que te durará toda la vida.
