Not one of the usual things we'd find on a gaming keyboard, but a drop of lube on every mechanical key switch makes a surprising amount of difference to the typing experience.
These switches alone aren't anything special, but a little lube goes a long way. I've been using the Snow switches, which are your regular linear dealio with an actuation force of 45g, though the Storm switches are a moderately heavier tactile option.
You can pick between ROG-branded NX Snow or NX Storm switches in this board. There are faster, smarter, even cheaper boards-you'll find all of those recommendations below-but the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless brings together many of the features we're looking for in a modern gaming keyboard.įirstly, some of the smoothest mechanical switches in the biz. The best gaming keyboard is the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless, and it's rare that a keyboard is such an all-round joy to use as this is. ❌ You want speed or analog features: As fast as most other mechanical keyboards, nowadays you can find faster keyboards than this using Hall effect or optical switches.
