Pls be aware asus software is horrendous. So if u plan on using that I would look elsewhere. The keyboard itself is great though

el mas poronga y barato que encuentres y despues mirar videos en youtube para modearlo. pero y si tenes guita para quemar el Asus ROG azoth, lo tengo hace 1 anio creo y es por lejos el mejor teclado que use en mi vida. Antes tuve un logitech g915 y antes un redragon kumara y no hay punto de comparacion.

ngl, if budget isn't an issue, the satisfaction of a well-built board is worth it. i've been using a full-sized keyboard with a nice aluminum case and a smooth rotary knob for media, and it completely changed my desk feel. something like the ROG Azoth or a high-end Keychron model fits that premium full-sized brief perfectly. they're mechanical, backlit, and the knob control is super satisfying for volume. just pick the switch type that feels best to you.

The ROG Azoth (regular and X) are pretty decent keyboards, actually. They sound and feel good. Sadly, they are way overpriced. You can get equivalent keyboards for a fraction of the price - Aula F75 Pro is an excellent choice in this regard.

I use an mmo mouse and onehanded gamepad from Redragon. It’s cheap but reliable. My keyboard is great but overpriced for what it is :< Edit: just read down on another comment OP. This gamepad is pretty decent for the price, keys are spaced out nice and the software isn’t terrible. It’s a good buy especially on sale for the K585. I recommend it. https://preview.redd.it/yqkld9xrsfdg1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8168660cfb39f68d0cd0b92f8c630a35042abbf

It’s fine on the wrist. It’s not adjustable but I’ve gotten used to it. It’s not like I’m typing on it so I think it’s fine if it’s flat, personally. The Razer one was one I was looking at but this one is half the price so it was kind of a no brainer in my case.

I’ve got the pro. I use the wireless version. You can use it wired but I move it around if I’m not gaming and the latency isn’t noticeable for me. https://a.co/d/27KhsEF Sounds like a plan, hope it works out for you! The Razer one might be one I go to, or the Azeroth, though the learning curve is a bit steep on that one. Both my mouse and the keyboard are wired though they both have the option to be wireless. These are the mouse and keyboard that I have, in case you were curious: https://a.co/d/81yohM8 https://a.co/d/9vnUrUQ

North facing rgb, volume wheel, and via software aren't a popular combination so sometimes a gaming keyboard on a sale can be just as good. This Asus board is extremely overpriced though

I used to have the original Logitech G915 (tactile switches), moved to an Asus ROG Azoth (Linear), and recently moved to the Lofree Flow100 (tactile switches) I don't know about the G915X, but the original just had so much wobble, and they sounded very scratchy. I ended up lubing it myself, but because it was my first time, it ended up becoming... mushy? I put way too much lube lol The Lofree Flow100 so far has been the best typing experience I've ever had. Typing feels and sounds **amazing**, but it does have the regular drawbacks everyone mentions. There is only white backlighting, and the keycaps themselves aren't transparent. If you do replace the keycaps, the lighting doesn't always illuminate an entire keycap, like the backspace. No wireless besides BT is a bummer. No VIA/QMK if you're into that. Surprisingly, I find myself fighting against the form factor more than I thought I would. I thought I would get used to no space between the arrow keys and the numpad, but I've had it for over half a year now and I still am hitting the wrong keys. I'm getting new 3D printed keycaps from Etsy to try and help with tactile differentiation. But all that said, this keyboard is *very* likely going to become my main work keyboard, because like someone else mentioned, the IQUNIX MQ80 is out. From everything I've seen, it's supposedly got the same (or better) feel / sound as the Lofree, the same layout as the Lofree Flow80, RGB backlighting, 2.4 GHz wireless, and QMK/VIA. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered, and can update on how it feels if I remember. If you want a numpad and are okay with the compromises: Lofree keyboard feels great. If you want all the features that Lofree is missing and a (unconfirmed) similar / better typing experience: maybe give the MQ80 a shot. Otherwise, the closest you're going to get to the typing experience will be NuPhy. I can't speak much on them though. Update: Got the MQ80 in, and am disappointed. All of the stabilizers for spacebar, backspace, enter, and shift were unbelievably rattly. Some of the keys sounded great, others were obviously not lubed as much. From everything I've seen, these issues are hit or miss, so probably more a quality control issue than anything. There were just enough issues that I decided to send it back. I'd rather just get another Lofree for work, or test my luck with the cheaper Flow Lite.

Man, I loved the Asus Azoth but I absolutely abhorred their software. Armoury Crate is not only annoying to use but way too difficult to completely remove from your computer, and if you get the Azoth, you need Armoury Crate to customize the OLED display. I would never bother with it again. Edit: Okay the Falchion ace is also Asus. I would honestly go with a different keyboard unless you don't think you'll mind using Armoury Crate. Definitely check it out on YouTube or something. This made me never want to buy an Asus product again.
