ASUS Republic of Gamers Launches Azoth Extreme

teasing

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Azoth Extreme, a 75% custom gaming keyboard featuring a precision aluminum alloy chassis with metal frame, delivering premium aesthetics and class-leading wireless performance. A carbon fiber positioning plate provides a crisp typing feel and minimizes key vibration. The keyboard includes an adjustable knuckle support that can be flipped to provide a hard or soft typing feel via a quick toggle switch. A color OLED touchscreen in the upper right corner of the keyboard can display system information and keyboard settings; with the adjacent three-way button allowing for instant volume, multimedia, lighting adjustments, and settings customization. An extended wrist rest ensures comfortable typing experiences and maintains its firmness over time.

The ROG Azoth Extreme gaming keyboard features a premium aluminum alloy chassis with a metal frame that undergoes a complex 12-step manufacturing process including sandblasting, anodizing, CNC machining, and more. Additionally, the Azoth Extreme achieves an impressive 8,000 Hz polling rate when used with the ROG Polling Rate Booster, while delivering up to 1,600 hours of battery life.

A clean strike and sublime acoustics

ROG Azoth Extreme uses a carbon fiber positioning plate instead of FR4, steel, PC, POM, or brass commonly found in other gaming keyboards. Carbon fiber provides metal-like rigidity for crisp typing sensations; and its elasticity provides excellent shock absorption to effectively minimize vibration while typing. Azoth Extreme uses three layers of dampening, with two PORON layers and a silicone pad to absorb vibrations and minimize switch pings and echoes for sublime acoustics.

Adjustable joint support
An innovative joint-mount design allows users to adjust the typing feel via a quick toggle switch located underneath the keyboard. In Hard Keystroke mode, ROG Azoth Extreme delivers firm keystrokes with a quick rebound, ideal for gaming. Alternatively, Soft mode offers a more cushioned and bouncy feel to ensure comfort during extended typing periods.

Color OLED touchscreen
The 1.47-inch color OLED display located in the upper right corner of ROG Azoth Extreme can display various types of information, including keyboard connection status, Caps Lock, and PC/Mac mode indicators. By tapping and swiping on the high-resolution OLED display, users can view various other functions such as hardware information and the KPS function that displays the user’s keystrokes per second.

Additional features
ROG Azoth Extreme features pre-lubricated ROG NX mechanical switches that deliver smoother keystrokes with improved acoustics. Tri-mode connectivity lets users connect devices via Bluetooth, low-latency ROG SpeedNova 2.4GHz RF wireless, or standard wired USB; with Bluetooth enabling simultaneous connections and easy switching between three devices. An extended silicone wrist rest is included, which aesthetically matches the keyboard, ensures typing comfort, and maintains its firmness over time. Finally, Azoth Extreme includes two pairs of magnetic feet of different heights, giving it three tilt angles to suit user preferences.
