ASUS ROG Peripherals at CES: ROG Azoth Keyboard and ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition
ASUS ROG showed off a slender lineup of gaming input devices at the 2023 International CES. These included the ROG Azoth wireless keyboard, and the ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition wireless mouse. Both of these are being offered as tournament-grade peripherals for e-sports professionals, implementing the ASUS ROG SpeedNova ultra low-latency wireless technology. The ROG Azoth is a slick compact wireless keyboard with an 81-key set (not including the volume rocker). It is characterized by an monochrome OLED display that can be programmed to display real-time HUD information from the game, hardware monitoring, or just about anything.
The ASUS ROG Azoth features hot-swappable, ROG NX mechanical switches that are factory pre-lubed; along with ROG keyboard stabilizers, and PBT doubleshot keycaps. The keyboard features a gasket-mount design with 3-layer dampening. The switches can be re-lubricated, a starter kit is included with the keyboard. The ROG SpeedNova wireless module supports RF, Bluetooth, as well as USB direct connection. The ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition is a 54 g ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a 3+2 button set, along with Aim Lab Settings Optimizer. Under the hood is a 36,000 dpi ROG Aimpoint sensor, and the ROG SpeedNova wireless tech. The mouse offers up to 90 hours of playtime in its 2.4 GHz RF mode (with the lighting turned off).

Quality wise there seems little wrong with it although it does rely on Armory Crate software which is known to give complication with other RGB software.
currently using the RK84 which doesn't support this (and is visually better, idk why asus decided a screen at the top right is good and why they moved the arrow buttons slightly further away, both are bad decisions for me)
At that price, even though it not a 75%, I'd definitely get the Wooting HE 60. Better software, better customization, more features, analog switches, and $85 cheaper.
That or you can get a blackwidow mini wireless and mod it yourself for like $30.

Asus paid Aim Lab for this design? I think Aim Lab were trolling them.
I haven't looked much into the stabs as I stopped bothering after I got my HE60. Sounds so much better and IMO the switches are better than the black widow if you install 35g springs.
