The ROG Azoth 96 HE is now officially available in parts of Europe, and it brings a very fresh and exciting update for fans of premium gaming keyboards. Priced at €399, the keyboard is now on sale in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with more stores set to offer it from January. ASUS is clearly aiming to give gamers a keyboard that feels advanced, smooth, and full of useful features.
The first thing of ROG Azoth 96 HE keyboard that stands out is the move to ROG HFX V2 magnetic switches. These switches allow you to change how fast a key responds, from a soft 0.1 mm tap to a firm 3.5 mm press. You can even adjust it in tiny 0.01 mm steps, which gives each user a very personal typing and gaming feel.
The ROG Hall sensor adds even more accuracy, picking up every keystroke with sharp precision. ASUS also checks each key during production, making sure everything works exactly as intended.
Connectivity is also a highlight. The Azoth 96 HE can connect to up to five devices at once and supports ROG SpeedNova 8K wireless tech, Bluetooth, and wired USB. The true 8000 Hz polling rate works both wired and wireless, which means your inputs reach the PC much faster, making the keyboard ideal for fast-paced games.
The keyboard includes a bright 1.47-inch full-colour touchscreen that helps you see important system details and keyboard settings at a glance. With the three-way knob next to it, switching options becomes quick and simple. It’s the same display system used in the top-end Azoth Extreme, giving this model a premium feel.
When it comes to typing comfort, ASUS has packed in six layers of dampening material, including PORON, IXPE, and silicone. These help cut down noise and make each press feel soft and controlled. The gasket mount also adds a gentle bounce, and users can customise the feel by changing the layers underneath.
Design-wise, the ROG Azoth 96 HE keyboard features a strong metal top cover, giving it a clean and expensive look. ASUS also adds translucent keycaps with unique ROG markings for people who want something a bit more stylish on their desk.
