Is the ASUS ROG Azoth worth it?
Yes — the best premium compact wireless gaming keyboard.
It's a 75% board with pre-lubed switches on a gasket mount, foam layers and textured PBT keycaps, so it sounds and feels like a custom keyboard. It's hot-swappable, has a programmable OLED screen and a control knob, connects by 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth or cable, and its latency is exceptionally low. It's very expensive, tall enough that you'll want a wrist rest, and has no number pad or macro keys.

How we reached this verdict
RTINGS calls it an excellent gaming keyboard with exceptionally low latency, full RGB, a programmable OLED display and excellent build from its gasket mount, PBT keycaps and foam layers, though it's tall without a wrist rest. TechRadar (4.5/5) found the build and performance excellent and the OLED handy, but the price very high, and Trusted Reviews (5/5) calls it an incredible gaming keyboard with a switch-lubing kit in the box.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
