ASUS ROG Strix Scope TKL Mechanical RGB Keyboard (Cherry MX Red)
Overview :
Own your competition in RGB-illuminated glory with the Republic of Gamers Strix Scope TKL Mechanical RGB Keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches from ASUS. Designed to seamlessly coordinate with your existing setup, the tenkeyless Scope offers RGB lighting and Aura Sync RGB lighting options, and can integrate with other Republic of Gamers RGB peripherals. However, the Scope TKL isn’t just designed to look good: this compact and portable keyboard features Cherry MX Red switches for accurate, linear keystrokes, as well as N-key rollover and anti-ghosting support.
Furthermore, day and night modes toggle between function and media keys, while a Stealth Mode key allows you to mute audio and minimize apps at the stoke of a button. Sporting an aluminum top plate, the Scope TKL doesn’t just use a tenkeyless design for better FPS performance: the shorter keyboard easily fits inside a backpack or bag, making it more portable than keyboards with number pads. Aiding this portable design, the Scope TKL comes with a detachable USB cable and weighs just under two pounds. The ASUS ROG Strix Scope TKL keyboard also comes with a removable magnetic wrist rest.
TKL Form Factor for FPS
The ROG Strix Scope TKL is a high-performance mechanical gaming keyboard with a small footprint. This design frees up space on your desk for broader mouse movements and lower sensitivity settings, resulting in slower reticles and improved aiming accuracy. The keyboard is topped with an aluminum faceplate for everyday resilience, and finished with a striking slash aesthetic for a little touch of style.
Made for Portability
The compact and frameless design of ROG Strix Scope TKL is ideal for minimalists, or those who simply need more space. The keyboard comes with a detachable cable, making it easier and safer to stow and carry in a backpack. The Type-A-to-C cord also doubles as a charging lead for mobile devices while on the go.
Ready for Day & Night
The Quick-Toggle Switch prepares the Scope TKL for gaming or the daily grind, toggling the top row between media or function (Fn) key input – so it’s easy to switch modes for work or play. The keyboard is topped with an aluminum faceplate for everyday resilience, and finished with a striking slash aesthetic for a little touch of style.
Instant Privacy
A quick tap of ROG Strix Scope TKL’s Stealth key instantly hides all apps and mutes all audio, assuring privacy the moment you need it. Decorated with an iconic cloaked-figure motif, a second push of Stealth puts everything back to just the way it was.
Aura Sync
The Republic of Gamers Strix Scope TKL is loaded with vibrant RGB illumination for you to command. There’s an individual RGB LED under every key, RGB lock indicators, and an RGB ROG logo. It even projects an arresting RGB underglow from below, extending the lighting beyond the keyboard. Powered by Aura Sync, the entire color spectrum and a range of dynamic lighting effects are at your command to create a complete system that’s uniquely yours. Strix Scope TKL lighting is also easily synced with the extensive Aura ecosystem, so it’s easy to build a gaming environment that really shines.
Armoury II
Armoury II is an enhanced driver-based software that offers more extensive controls. An intuitive UI lets you easily tune the Scope TKL to suit your gameplay – create profiles, customize colors and lighting effects, map keys, record macros, and more. You can even track hardware stats during gameplay for data analysis.
Cherry MX Red Switches
Mechanical keyboards utilize a different type of key switch technology for a more durable and unique typing experience. The Cherry MX Red switch has an actuation force of 45 g and offers a linear travel with no tactile bump. This can be beneficial for users who don’t need the tactility of other switches. Additionally, with close actuation and release points, Cherry MX Red switches allow for easier double-tapping. Unlike Cherry MX Blue switches, these do not have an audible “click” mechanism, allowing for a quieter operation. Noise generated from this keyboard will be from the key either springing back into place or “bottoming out” – making contact with the back plate after a particularly hard press.
Onboard Memory
Save up to five custom profiles alongside the default configuration and use them anytime, anywhere.
