  • Carbon fibre positioning plate: Effectively reduces keystroke vibrations while providing a crisp typing sensation and acoustics.
  • Adjustable gasket mount: A simple flip switch allows you to quickly convert between two padded typing experiences.
  • Full-color OLED touchscreen: Access system information and change as keyboard preferences; quick modifications are possible with the integrated three-way knob.
  • Long-lasting firmness and comfort are guaranteed by the extended silicone wrist rest.
  • Tri-modal connection: You can connect and disconnect three devices simultaneously via Bluetooth, regular cable USB, or low-latency 2.4 GHz RF wireless mode.
  • Improved typing experiences: Sound-dampening foams and pre-lubricated ROG NX mechanical switches offer smoother keystrokes and improved acoustics.

ROG NX Switches

The ROG Azoth Extreme is a premium aluminum-alloy gaming keyboard featuring a metal frame and 75% customization options. It has a report rate of 8000 Hz when using the ROG Polling Rate Booster and a battery life of more than 1600 hours when using the ROG SpeedNova 2.4 GHz wireless mode. Rapid system modifications and monitoring are made possible by the three-way knob and updated OLED touchscreen.

A clear typing sound is guaranteed by the carbon-fiber positioning plate, and vibrations are absorbed by three dampening layers. With a paddle switch and adjustable gasket mount, two typing options are available.

Outstanding Construction Quality

The metal frame and complete aluminum-alloy chassis of the ROG Azoth Extreme, with its unique bladed pattern, exude luxury aesthetics. Twelve stages of complex manufacturing procedures, such as sandblasting, anodizing, CNC machining, and more, are required to create the bottom chassis.

  • Further demonstrating the dedication to aesthetics are the steps and streaks on the edges that were carved using a CNC cutter.
  • The elaborate keyboard design is given a classy touch by the polished ROG nameplate, which is positioned at the bottom casing and has laser engraving.

Plate for Carbon-Fiber Positioning

To provide a precise typing experience, the Azoth Extreme uses a carbon-fiber positioning plate that mimics the rigidity of metal positioning plates. Simultaneously, the flexibility of carbon fibre offers superior shock absorption, substantially reducing vibrations while typing.

Three-Layer Design for Dampening

To provide excellent typing acoustics, the Azoth Extreme has three dampening layers: a silicone pad, two PORON layers, and an absorber layer to reduce switch pinging and echoes.

Modifiable Gasket Mount Architecture

With the use of a quick-flip paddle switch and an inventive adjustable gasket mount, users may customise the Azoth Extreme’s typing experience. The solid keyboard feel and fast rebound make gaming possible whilst typing in Hard mode. However, Soft mode provides a more flexible keypress to make prolonged typing sessions more comfortable.

Removeable Magnetized Foot

With its two sets of magnetic feet that are different in height, the Azoth Extreme may be tilted three different ways to accommodate individual preferences.

Long-lasting Silicone Wrist Rest

The extended wrist rest is made of silicone and has an aluminium alloy base that is precisely shaped to go with the keyboard. Its ergonomic design guarantees long-term sturdy support and comfortable typing sessions.

OLED Screen with 3-Mode Control Knob

This elegant 1.47-inch full-color OLED touchscreen displays PC/Mac mode indicators, connection mode, and keyboard status, including Caps Lock. In addition, it can show the battery level, multimedia data, personalised animations, and system specifications like a CPU temperature. The three-way control knob and a side button provide intuitive tweaks and settings adjustments.

Adaptable Three-Mode Link

In 2.4 GHz RF mode (with RGB and OLED turned off), ROG SpeedNova wireless technology provides up to 1,600+ hours of consistent, continuous, near-zero-latency gameplay. As an alternative, you can charge and play simultaneously in wired USB mode or connect to up to three devices simultaneously using the Bluetooth mode.

BOOSTER ROG POLLING RATE

With the ROG Polling Rate Booster, an accessory available only on ROG, you can enhance your keyboard’s polling rate to a real 8000 Hz in both wired and wireless modes, thereby experiencing zero latency.

OMNI ROG RECEIVER

With just one USB receiver, the ROG Omni Receiver enables simultaneous wireless connections to one suitable keyboard and one compatible mouse without sacrificing performance.

Only one receiver can be associated with your Omni-compatible devices at once. To change connections, unplug your device.

ROG NX Mechanical Switches

In order to provide incredibly smooth keystrokes, ROG NX mechanical switches use composite POM material for the stem, with PC top housing and POM bottom housing. Additionally, the walled stem construction increases stability and excludes dust.. In addition to factory pre-lubrication, further fine tuning is carried out to provide a very pleasing acoustics for the ROG NX mechanical switches keyboard.

Flippable Hot-Swap Switches

Replace and install the switch type of your choice to give it a special, personalised touch.Although the switches can be hot swapped, it is not advised to do so in order to avoid short circuiting the keyboard while it is turned on.

Keyboard stabiliser for ROG

With gamers in mind, the pre-lubed keyboard stabiliser has been precisely adjusted to provide less friction, enabling long keys like Spacebar, Shift, and Enter to offer keystrokes that accurately replicate the sensation of the original switch.

Keycaps for ROG PBT Doubleshot

Long-lasting durability and a premium feel are features of ROG PBT doubleshot keycaps. In order to minimise key wobble and improve user comfort, mid-height keycaps and a shorter stem have been incorporated into the key design.

ROG ABS Keycaps with UV Coating

ROG UV-coated ABS keycaps offer excellent protection against keycap shine due to its robust UV coating layer that withstands wear.

Additional Tuning

Extra lubricant and changes have been made to the spacebar to improve feel and acoustics.

Sync Aura

You can control the whole colour spectrum and a variety of dynamic lighting effects with Aura Sync RGB. You can customise your own keyboard with individually lighted keys.

Armoury Crate

Armoury Crate integrates illumination and system controls. Mapping keys, recording macros, and scenario profiles are all easily created, defined, and customised.
