At Computex 2023 this week ASUS has introduced a new addition to its range of keyboards announcing the imminent availability of its new ROG Strix Scope II 96 wireless gaming keyboard. The Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is a compact gaming keyboard from ASUS ROG offering users a 96% layout, preserving all function and number keys present in a standard full-size keyboard.
The ROG Strix Scope II 96 offers multiple connectivity options including pairing with up to three devices via Bluetooth, RF 2.4 GHz via ROG SpeedNova wireless technology and Omni Receiver, or through a wired USB connection if preferred.
This keyboard incorporates pre-lubed, hot-swappable ROG NX Snow mechanical switches. Providing gamers with fast actuation, refined keystrokes, and enhanced key stability even during the most hectic gameplay scenarios. For noise control, the wireless gaming keyboard features built-in sound-dampening foam and a switch-dampening pad to absorb echoes and reduce pinging noises.

ROG NX Snow mechanical switches
The ROG NX Snow mechanical switches, uniquely comprised of plastic composites, are housed in durable ROG PBT doubleshot keycaps or UV-coated ABS keycaps to provide gamers with a premium feel and resistance to shine. Users can also swap out these switches with their preferred choices, adding an element of customization.
One other feature worth mentioning of the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is the inclusion of silicone dampening foam for the bottom housing, combined with switch-dampening pads above the printed circuit board assembly, further enhancing the acoustic performance during keystrokes.
The keyboard incorporates a multifunction button and scroll features for managing media playback, volume, and keyboard lighting. Additionally, the F1-F5 keys are pre-programmed as hotkeys for Xbox Game Bar and recording functions. The Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is expected to be accompanied by the Strix Scope II and Strix Scope II RX full-size gaming keyboards in the future.
