In recent years, mechanical keyboards have gone from simple peripherals to key pieces of productivity and personalization. Within this evolution, the ASUS ROG Azoth arrives as an ambitious proposal that aims to cover it all: premium quality, a design inspired by custom keyboards, and features focused on both gaming and enthusiast use.
With a gasket mount, pre-lubed and hot-swappable switches, and a fully customizable OLED display, the Azoth tries to stand out in an increasingly demanding market. However, its price also places it in a higher league. Does it live up to expectations? In this article, we analyze whether it is really worth what it costs, from sound and typing feel to software and the overall experience.
Design and build that feel premium
The first thing that stands out about the ROG Azoth is its 75% size and build quality. ASUS did not cut corners on materials: the body combines a thick plastic base with an aluminum alloy top cover, resulting in a compact, heavy, and very well-assembled keyboard.
Unlike many gaming keyboards that go all-in on RGB, the ASUS ROG Azoth opts for a more understated, industrial aesthetic, with a design clearly influenced by the custom keyboard world. With its gasket-style mount and internal foam, it delivers a soft, cushioned typing experience with a clean sound, well above what is typical in its category.
The build is solid, with non-slip rubber feet and two-level tilt adjustment. It also includes a functional OLED display that can show everything from active profiles to system stats or animations, all controlled through a fully customizable side wheel and button via software.
