ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

[Shakallia]

It's about what a top end custom keyboard costs to build, so considering this is essentially the best prebuilt you can find, the price is reasonable. Halo product that's best in slot, halo price. To a lot of people the time saved from not ordering each part then assembling, lubing, modding etc. is worth much more than that, but they still want a top end part. Mine for example was around £550, although to be fair £120 of that is just on a fancy space bar from Jellykey.

Shame about Armoury Crate though.

I can assure you that 500 dollar KB only cost about 100 to make, if that even. That kind of product is made to attract people who wants to feel special, and will buy the product just for that.

Hi all! I bought it a couple of weeks ago. Satisfied. Everything is made at a premium level, like all ROG product lines. I am attaching a photo

3. Someone stupid enough to think that with all technology the more you pay the more you get.

Looks cheap/childish, requires Asus bloatware to use. Why couldn't it be QMK/VIA compatible?

Hahahah, needing to use the nightmare that is Armory Crate means Asus needs to pay me to use it.

No MCU information this time?

Nothing visible without removing the metal cantilevers that help customize the gasket stiffness, which is quite hard to do and put back together. I didn't feel it was worth the time and risk.

I think that point 3 is of little use for most people who buy such things. At a minimum, because the very fact that this thing has decent functionality and build quality already makes it possible to enjoy using this model. This also follows from the first 2 points - the ability to buy and brand loyalty.

I love tech don't get me wrong but I truly do not understand this KB Community. Paying $500 for a KB to me is a little insane. Functionality is the Logitech G510. Of course this is old so you can't buy it new. This was what a $150 KB used to look like. I remember Corsair had a KB with a LCD screen when Mechanical started, it was full size and cost $279. At the end of the day the keys on every single Keyboard are made of plastic. That is why when I gave up on my G510. I went with a Red Dragon KB with 6 Gkeys for $60. There are plenty of other things you can spend $500 in your PC to give you that compelling smile that using great hardware for the first time does.

If you want to pay so much for essentially a keyboard, fine, just don't bother bragging about it or some people will think you're nuts

to brag about the keyboard, I think if I were 14 years old - it could be real. But now I just have a choice and I use it.

I have a keyboard of the Ukrainian brand HATOR for 50 dollars. Also a decent keyboard.
