As a builder of custom boards, to see this amount of consideration for a gaming keyboard is hurting my brain...in a good way. Very impressive stuff
Thank you, our team has worked hard to to bridge the our gaming series alongside many of the enthusiast niche features/benefits of customer enthusiast keyboards.This is an evolution and continuation of what we have been doing throughout the year with models like our ROG FALCHION ACE, ROG STRIX FLARE II ANIMATE and ROG SCOPE series where we have phased in items like pre lubed and binned switches, sound dampening foam, improved stabs, hot swap PCB but also maintained manly elements traditional gamers have wanted. We look forward to the feedback and response from the community and media in 2023.
@@ASUSUSA honnestly seems like a pretty good option, kind of unfortunate that it has north facing pcb and plastic bottom instead of alu
Very impressive indeed, but it would be nice if there was a cheaper option (the Azoth is 300 bucks) without the screen, the knob and wireless functionality. For me at least, these three features are cool but kinda gimmicky and nothing I would really need in a keyboard (for some, these features will be worth it ofc)
@@rzary_ Still doable with Gateron switches that have the top housing fillet for north facing + GMK, or use long poles
@@rzary_ IMO if their goal is introduce the mainstream gaming keyboard crowd to the qualities of customs, I think south facing is too big of a change for now. You'd be surprised how many people still absolutely must have good RGB in their boards
ROG have really been stepping up their peripherals recently. All we need is a refresh to their headset and they would have a new slate of improved peripherals. Love to see a company as large as ASUS listening to enthusiasts.
they are often in short circuit comment sections, north america, asia and whatnot channel moderators i guess
Fully agree on the Azoth! Really good to see big branded gaming peripherals really step up! Great review as always!
Thanks man! I gotta check out your vid 👀
I love how Brian talks much calmer now. The loud old days are gone and I love how the channel is nowadays.
Great voice!
Awesome overview and hands on experience detailing! Thank you so much for taking some time to look at what ROG is bringing to your desk in 2023 - As always stay tuned for more! New up the ROG Raikiri Pro controller right? Best wishes to you and the channel and the whole community in 2023!
The keyboard and mouse seem like absolute winners!
I just recently bought a barebones gmmk pro. This new product is tempting me now. I have the Asus G14, so it would be nice to get the Asus Azoth. Might consider returning my kit depending on the price of the Azoth.
Too bad the HDR is broken on your $1400 OLED monitor
@@butteredbread100 Their 48" one?
controller with hall effect would be fantastic.
Damn this is seriously impressive for a stock gaming setup. I've decided to stop using customs for gaming a while ago and have been rocking a Ducky TKL. But this........ Has my attention. Great video as always my man. Entertaining and informative
Have you looked into the wooting 60he?
You also may want to check out our ROG FALCHION ACE and ROG STRIX SCOPE RX TKL WIRELESS DELUXE
@@haydn6462 yes! I want a larger layout than a 60 though :(
That keyboard is insanely cool. As you kept spouting off the different features I was just in awe at the attention to detail they put into this product. I haven’t bought a “gaming” keyboard in years but I will definitely be buying one of these.
I've personally worked with the folks over at AIM Lab and they are great people! Cool to see them work with ASUS and come out with a solid mouse.
I love seeing these brands identifying things in the custom keyboard scene that they can bring over to their stock boards to improve the quality and the overall look and feel of their products. I’m really excited to see Asus doing stuff like this.
Thanks for feedback!
someone with love for the custom market had input on these products, love it
In the next 3 years we're gonna see most if not all peripheral companies coming out with 65% and 75% mechanical keyboards and hopefully some hall effect switches in those form factors as well
@@crisnmaryfam7344 check out the Wooting 60he you will know why then
@@crisnmaryfam7344 gradual control in games that support it (pushing the switch down half way makes you walk forward at half walking speed, for example), and since the switches have less parts touching you will get both a smoother actuation feel and they will last longer, with some older hall effect switches rated in billions of clicks before failure, versus the measly millions that contact based switches are usually measured in
Been using the Harpe Ace for a couple of months and I am in love with it. Just ordered the Azoth since I'm trying to go for an all ROG peripheral set up.
I have been using the Azoth since release! I loooove it!
Good to see Asus ROG branching out to an enthusiast level of both custom keebs and gaming mice. These products are SOLID. Excited to get my hands on that board for sure. Great review 💪🏽🔥
That cm ruler is fucking DOPE. Idk how no one has thought of that yet
Whoa, Asus taking notes on the custom keeb market and making a decent sounding board.
fr with some good akko caps for interference and a cute gif thats rlly awesome
Pretty crazy that they included Krytox and the switch opener.
The shape of that mouse is like my Steel Series Rival 3 Wireless. That "hump' is actually really nice for medium to large hands. Less pinky drag on your mousepad.
62hours with both rgb and oled display on is insane
The keyboard looks pretty dope, but I wish they were focusing more in performance by creating their own unique switches to compete vs Lekker, OmniPoint switches and stuff
I think it's more of a competition with non-gaming brands especially with hotswap sockets. While hall-effect is very neat I think both hall-effect and hotswap are pretty good options.
We do offer our own internal design switches both ROG NX and ROG RX switches our NX switches are pre binned a rarity amongst pre builds as most do not guarantee force deviation consistency. Also pre lubed and we have different actuation/reset points. Switches are complex though and highly personal but as a whole we feel we have a very solid set of switches that most users and many enthusiasts would be entirely fine with. On the other end we have our RX optical switches which offer many benefit such as reduction keycap wobble, brighter more consistent illumination, fast and consistent actuation and stability.
@@ASUSUSA Hold the f- up is that the REAL ASUS!?!? Am I becoming insane?
@asusnorthamerica8891 Will we be able to get a version of this keyboard with the RX switches? My son has your Scope RX and I love those switches.
Let's consider the fact that he lubed this every damn switch for a 10 second soundtest snippet on a *gaming keyboard*. If that's not dedication I don't know what is.
Man, it feels fantastic seeing more gaming keyboard brands putting out keyboards closer to enthusiast-grade.
And the lubing tools included? Wowzers, I am speechless.
I really appreciate the fact that it has Mac and pc keys. As someone who uses both daily, it’s a must
To see a gaming keyboard that is actually pretty appealing to enthusiasts as well feels like a dream. Most keyboards I've ever seen are either completely gamer-orientated and not appealing to enthusiasts in the slightest, or completely enthusiast-orientated and has some setbacks that might bother gamers (other than a HELLA lot of RGB).
I just hope that BadSeed Tech means an actually affordable price point by a "steal" because I feel like keyboard enthusiasts are the type of people who would call bank-breaking price tags "dirt cheap".
Edit: Apparently the new keyboard will be $250, which no matter how many features you get for the money, dooesn't sound like a "steal". I think enthusiasts are so desensitized to above AirPods level prices for keyboards, they'd call $300 for a "better-sounding" and "better-feeling" mechanical keyboard "dirt cheap" like it's actually $30.
The custom mech keyboard world is literally the California of the overall keyboard universe. Wanna cheap out? F u. You must destroy your bank like the rest of us for anything acceptable.
I was shocked when you were showing the included lubing kit with the keyboard. If the ballpark really is a steal, it might be one of the best 75% options out there.
oooo that 75% keyboard format is nice! Nice to see these bigger companies adpating it.
I just bought the combo for black friday sales and so glad I did. They both feel amazing and defn added to my gaming experience when I play apex
First time finding your channel and I am extremely impressed. I love the flow.
Your content is more than S tier, my dude. Blows me away that you aren't at 500k yet
But you will be. ;) Glad I got in early!
Great video ! ASUS coming in with the heat
bought the new Azoth with NX Snow and gad damn ... it is one hell of a fine keyboard , no mods needed
i'm in Taiwan, and today i got to order this keyboard at around 245USD, hopefully it won't be marked up too much when it gets to the USA.
it is a steal at this price if the keyboard performs as good as Brian says.
thanks for the review, i ordered it because of this video.
Asus nailed with the keyboard, hope also that the price will be fair. Cheers!
The mouse shape reminds me of the old school mouses we had back in the day in middle school (20years ago)
"That is a steal for what you are getting in that board" thanks asus great stuff and wish a great year ahead
Easily the best sounding stock gaming board I've heard
That keyboard is legit what I’ve been waiting for. Buying it as soon as it’s available locally.
Just got my white azoth, it’s great. Idc about the 250$ price tag. This is the first keyboard that I have actually been happy with. My last 2 keyboards were the GMMK Pro I got on sale for 250$ and the Razer Blackwidow v4 tkl(200$) my gripes were no wireless capabilities. I also had the apex pro BUT when I’m not gaming it felt like crap. Finally happy with this keyboard through and through
I saw ROG's analog keyboard on a store near me and yes I can confirm that their stabs are top-tier
Loving the content, can't wait for this one.
But I am still waiting on the lamzu review you have mention online.
First video I've watched on your channel and I am SUPER impressed! Hugely competitive gamer, and tech enthusiast, and you provide an amazing amount of detail and comparisons, as well as high production value content, with a great personality. Keep it up!!
Also the ROG Harpe shape and weight make me think it's their answer to the G Pro X Superlight, which I loved until it had scroll wheel issues. Currently rocking an ASUS ROG Keris, and I like it, but might give the Harpe a shot as well in the near future.
Asus took notes on pretty much every enthusiast ask for both of these products, huge W from a major PC brand. Don't normally see this
I want to like the ROG line of products but my main problem is that their Amoury Crate software is their automatic profile switching which I use is super slow and laggy, like definitely 1+ second when I switch to different programs.
I’m blown away. Asus did their homework
Hi, this is the first video I see from your channel and I subscribed instantly. Very good quality, you speak very well so it isn't difficult to undestand by peope who doesn't speak english like me. Event the edit is pefect. Keep up the good work ! :)
75% is by far the best layout i need more companies on that
I'm glad I see videos like this, seeing the companies actually give a shit and actually improve on their products
Damn, Editing Brian had me in the fist half.
Wow, the keyboard is through the roof!! Awesome ASUS!!
I click for the tech stuff, stayed for the awesome beard.
Woah the keyboard sounds good was not expecting that
This was an amazing review no doubt but can we talk about how majestic his beard is
Would sound better with some Badseed tactiles. When are we getting a new batch of those? 😄
Brian, you had shotgun mic so close that the proximity effect was heavily influencing the sound tests
Damn I might have to grab this over the wooting, that layout and wireless sounds REALLY nice.
Damn, that sounds phenomenal stock. Well played Asus.
If asus actually cared about making a g pro killer or a viper killer they could easily do it, They have the technology for it.
ROG team really are listening to the customers! If priced right, I might get one for myself too.
Lots of people hate on Asus ROG stuff. But I game on my G15, and I love it.
Those clicks actually sound super nice. I'm loving the keyboard too. The font is meh, but I'm super into the height of the caps.
Asus setting a new standard for what a gaming keyboard is. Problem with custom keyboard companies like keychron is the big inconsistensy because they expect the customers to mod themself. This is very welcoming, hope you release a white one in nordic market.
People doesn't seem to realize about what "we" enthusiast and the mainstream want out of a keyboard, it's a huge difference, and this baby step from Asus is just the step we needed to bridge that difference, to introduce some of the features that we loved so much from our boards.
I'm looking forward for what they'll do for the next iteration
Keyboard releases at $250, pretty good price for all of the features!
Ever since I discovered the Basilisk sensitivity clutch feature and thumb button, I won’t use a mouse without it for FPS.
I am blown away by this keyboard especially when its from ASUS, btw great video as always!
another awesome video, looking forward to your UpToDate amp/dec review
Only thing that I’m concerned about is that OLED. I have a ASUS Ryuo which has wicked screen burn in. Started after one year and now after 3 years it looks like a 20 year old plasma you see at some run down restaurant or airport.
Damnit. Whenever I wanna quit the game, dope stuff like this releases. Will be copping this set, looks incredible and has features I really want
I recently built my GMMK Pro because I couldn't get ROG Flare II Animate in Nordic ISO, but Azoth will probably be replacing the GMMK Pro.
You sir, have an amazing beard. I trust your judgment on the keeb and mouse.
finally a good customizable gaming keyboard and a good mice too from ROG.
Damn, never see this coming. It's a very good step up from ROG
this man just cocked blocked us with the price!!! haha what a Tease. Always great Vids ma man! SOLID
I'll say the same thing I said on Keybored's video, if they offered alternate plates I think this would be a homerun. I hate steel plates. Gimme POM, PC, or FR4. Great video as usual brian!
Glad to see a reviewer not stating a product as a ‘GAMING’ product as this is used frequently by many and a product isn’t a gaming specific peripheral such as a mouse or keyboard 🤦🤦♀🤔 as any user can utilise it’s features etc.
Ending aside, I can't help but feel this keyboard will cost both of my kidneys.
awesome, thanks beard, Stay up
that beard trim though. slick!
This is an extremely solid offering. I am officially impressed. GG's ASUS
That keyboard sounds great!
I've had my Steelseries sensei for around 9 years so if this mouse is similar in shape, I might be into it
Brian I can’t believe you didn’t throw in some of your own switches and cap onto this keyboard! Either way I’m really blown away by asus who usually brings rather tacky (opinion) peripherals. Hats off to asus
Wow, I want that keyboard. That’s so sick
You said the magic words in the first 10 seconds. WIRELESS 75% KEYBOARD.
Damn I remember when ROG just made ewaste peripherals, these new products are really well designed
Your Setup is Neat would love to have the Items Desk , Mats , Speakers etc.. For once UA-cam Recommendation got me into a good Channel
3AM on Glenwood is an insane song
This keeb look very promising. Good review as well. A few prices are coming out and I would not call this a steal.
Fuck man, this board with the analog switches of the wooting would be amazing. Its such a hard choice, If wooting could make a TKL or 75% it would take the cake but this ASUS is hitting every other check mark man..
How the fuck did ASUS hit it on the head this hard, damn. Every element of these offerings is right on the nose. I feel like this is what companies should always aspire to do when they release a suite of new products but so many cut corners in bad places. I may actually pick up that mouse and pad. Keyboard is a hard recommend to my friends.
Thanks, we have a long history of aligning our designs with the feedback from our enthusiast community and this is apparent in our releases over the last two years. If you have noted checked them out you should. Appreciate the kudos our team worked very hard on the AZOTH!
Glad to see the channel growing. Sub to the hommie, he be putting out detailed videos every time.
That keyboard sounds GOOD omg
Hell yeah bro, this is a solid set as long as that redacted price is good. Also looking pretty healthy these days bro, awesome job. Cant wait for more videos.
*claps for Asus* Welcome back into the peripheral game, we def needed a big company to give the finger to the others.
Hotswapable and not locked to just THEIR switches, a full lube kit, amazing connectivity and quality...If that doesn't light a fire under the other company's asses, idk what will.
And that mouse and keyboard is a VERY welcomed addition to their line. It shows that Asus is finally giving their peripherals the much needed love, and did a damn fine job.
Your videos are the best. Thanks for the fantastic content and honest reviews. Plus the “NOPE” over the price had me rolling. I was waiting for the price the whole time…🤣
Harpe Ace is really nice. Has made my GPX and other mice redundant. It has a nice shape, though i wish it was some 4-6mm wider at the grip point.
But as much as i like what Asus have done with Azoth, i cannot live without my dedicated Home/End/PrntScr keys (which is pretty much standard on most 75% keebs).
Fuck the red switches though. Once you go black, you never go back bby!
And i completely second the notion that Wooting releasing a 75% would be massive. Currently eyeing DrunkDeer A75, but their hall effect switches seem a bit wonky.
Definitely going to cop all 3. Hopefully I can get the finalmouse keyboard when it drops
I just bought this and am not 100% sure about keeping it. The main issues for me are (1) the 3-way button should just be a knob. Even if it's a scroll knob/scroll wheel, so much better for adjusting volume. This button thing is no bueno. (2) The OLED screen should have more options without needing Armoury Crate. Why can't I set it to show a clock as a built-in setting? Why is the default to always the ROG logo constantly reloading and animating? I don't want that thing running nonstop while I'm typing and not even looking at it... (3) can you please start using classier keys/fonts for your gaming keyboards. "Gaming" doesn't have to mean teenage cyberpunk. These letters/fonts are UGLY. If the keys and font were better, this could totally be used for a productivity board. Even better, have an option without the gimmicky OLED screen that doesn't serve any real purpose. Then you could have a real knob or scroll wheel and a dedicated delete button closer to the F12 key while also allowing dedicated home and end keys along with page up and page down. Why the heck is "Ins" a dedicated key over home/end? What a silly choice.
Man, a gaming keyboard that 75%. That awesome! Isn't it... WOOTING!!!
my guess is this whole combo is gonna be 350-400 bucks.
The keyboard is really incredible for a big brand, the only problem is that Armory crate is an actual nightmare to use
Keyboard 250 bucks mouse 140 bucks - retail price , 420 with shipping price 🥲
@@dolpsum8492 wow I was still short of the total, that’s insane. you can get a wooting 60HE for 175 and literally any top tier mouse like an DAV3 for 150.
$325 total, still 100 bucks less to buy a full top of the line setup.
Edit: oh yeah I forgot mousepad, LGG Saturn pro is 50 bucks so 375 total lol
looks like I'll be returning my keyboard and waiting for this one to come out!
Very nice, thanks for the review! 👌🏻
