ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard
The ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard is a compact gaming keyboard for desk-conscious players who want full functionality without sacrificing space. It combines tri-mode connectivity, hot-swappable mechanical switches, and streamer-focused controls in a 96% layout that's only 1 cm wider than an 80% board.
Why this product
96% layout saves desk space
Retains all function and number keys in a compact form that frees up real estate compared to a full-size board, while remaining just 1 cm wider than an 80% keyboard.
Tri-mode connection for flexibility
Switch between Bluetooth (up to three devices), 2.4 GHz wireless via ROG SpeedNova, or wired USB. Wireless mode delivers up to 1,500 hours of battery life on RGB and OLED off.
Hot-swappable pre-lubed switches
ROG NX Snow & Storm mechanical switches come pre-lubed for consistent keystroke feel and fast actuation, and can be swapped without soldering.
Streamer hotkeys and macro support
F1–F5 keys are pre-mapped for Xbox Game Bar and recording functions. All keys are programmable as macros, and a multifunction wheel controls media and lighting.
Sound dampening for quieter typing
Silicone dampening foam with integrated switch-dampening pads absorbs pinging and echoes, resulting in more subdued keystroke acoustics.
