Meet the ASUS ROG Strix Scope NX TKL Deluxe. Two things set this particular model apart from its siblings – its exclusive NX switches, made by ASUS itself, and the magnetic wrist rest.
The keyboard sits on a brushed aluminum top plate, which helps add some extra rigidity and durability. There is no flexing or creaking to the board, and its build feels plenty premium.
The board puts on quite a stunning visual display when plugged in, with a brilliant lighting strip on the front that adds a neat underglow. I’m not a fan of the font ASUS uses, but it does fit the overall aesthetic of the board. The ROG NX Blue switches feature transparent housings to allow the backlighting to shine through more clearly, and there are helpful side-printed labels as well to show you what each key doubles up as. For instance, the function row is divided between F1 and F4 and media controls, with F5 to F12 printed as secondary legends on the latter.
