Description

 Build & Design

• A compact 75% layout (~325 × 136 mm), featuring a white plastic chassis topped with an aluminum plate and gasket-mounted construction for refined typing feel.  Five internal sound‑dampening layers—including PORON foam and silicone—deliver a rich, thuddy keystroke experience, though some users report the spacebar feels unusually clunky.

• Equipped with majestic three‑sided translucent PBT keycaps adorned in Asus’s “Stellar” theme that diffusely amplify the RGB lighting.

 Switches & Internals

• User‑replaceable ROG NX V2 mechanical switches: choose light linear “Snow” or tactile clicky “Storm,” both factory‑lubed, with minimal wobble. Switches are hot‑swappable and supported by a south‑facing PCB.

 Connectivity & Battery

• Tri‑mode support: USB‑C wired, Bluetooth 5.1 (up to 3-device pairing), or ultra‑low‑latency 2.4 GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless.

• Remarkable battery life—up to 1,600 hours (≈67 days) if lighting and OLED display are disabled.

 OLED Display & Controls

• A crisp 2″ grayscale OLED screen on the top-right corner shows system info (battery, connection, CPU temps), media, and custom animations. It’s toggled via a three-way control knob plus button.

 Software & Customization

• Supported by Armoury Crate, with additional web-based configurator Gear Link for faster key remapping and RGB programming. However, software limitations remain.

• All keys are remappable, but many users encounter issues: firmware bugs causing key chatter (double‑typing) and limited macro flexibility.

 Known Issues & Community Feedback

• Double‑press / chatter issues: Some units exhibit random double input, often attributed to PCB or firmware defects. While third‑party “chatter blocker” solutions may help, many users report needing to RMA their units.

• Software complaints: The bundled Armoury Crate is frequently described as cumbersome, bloaty, and restrictive—especially regarding macro layers and remapping.

• Value concerns: Many note the $300 price tag is steep, and that alternatives may offer better reliability or typing feel per dollar.
