- Asus just made a $500 custom gaming keyboard... Is it totally overpriced or actually a keyboard worth considering?

Does asus always have expensive keyboards
I dont have money
I’m honestly not a fan, even if it was £200. £500 is mental
Can you do a lemokey L1 and L3 review pls? Love the content
@HipyoTech I’ve seen the CZcams short already but could you do a full video review on the 8bitdo keyboard I wanna know what you think about it since I’m planning on picking one up
bro the price is crazy for this...
Corporate greed and rog tax
Fr
i think i saw a keyboard that cost more than a ps5
I have a feeling only sponsored streamers will be using this thing.. it doesn't make any sense.
Nooooooo really????
I just want to understand why companies like this spend money on developing bad software instead of just slapping on the standard software that everyone uses and that just works
Ego, i assume.
They're just trying to bring people into their ecosystem. Some people are silly and might think that they should buy other products from the same company so that everything is on the same software.
Imagine selling a $500 keyboard without qmk/via
@@moonvenuslunaimagine paying for a $500 keyboard and STILL having your data stolen from its software like they haven't gotten enough from u
@@edenem They can never have too much data. You can get a $100k car and still have your data stolen.
Stupid price✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
True
that price i can buy a lot keyboard
This is one of the longer videos I've watched that focused on a single keyboard.
I enjoyed it a lot. The video didn't drag, it felt like every section you discussed was necessary so time flew by.
Excellent video!
@@phillipdonald3542 thank you, I really wanted to say everything and was scared people wouldn't watch that long
For $500 you can get 5 good budget keboards💀
More like 9. My Yunzii B75 was $56 shipped and it's great for the price. Take away the $5 clip and lubed stab service and it would be $459 for 9 of them, which would be much better than this single keyboard. You could have 9 different switch combinations at your disposal..
Or for actual gaming like the keyboard is intended to do, get wooting
hottake: and you wiil still just use one.
Or a used ps5 or even a decent PC, which can do more than typing
i rather buy a low-end graphic card or upgrade my other hardware tbh
$500 but no rapid trigger is basically daylight robbery u could build a modded wooting for way lesser
also Akko has a 75% volume knob 8khz wired/1khz wireless hall effect rapid trigger keyboard for $150, i got it for $117 on sale. I like it more than my wooting and is the only wireless HE kb i know of
I agree a $500 “gamer” keyboard with no rapid trigger is crazy. But this is really for someone who doesn’t want to get into modding, and just wants a high end keyboard without doing any work. It’s a good keyboard other than the huge omission of rapid trigger.
@@colemanbarns4032Akko has a fake 8Khz that only runs just on wasd but other key they run at just measly 125hz.
@@phantom498this board is not high end by any stretch. Lmao.
@@bren.r it is for the average gamer and person. Most gamers are probably spending $100 or less on their keyboards and really serious gamers still probably aren’t spending more than $200. I know most pro players use a keyboard that costs well under $100 according to pro settings website tracker. You are not the norm if you think this isn’t high end.
for 500$ it should be a perfect keyboard, which in this case is not
Not even close👎
No such thing as a perfect keyboard but sure as heck doesn't justify this price tag.
I mean, nothing is gonna be perfect for any price, but this is a $200 prebuilt board upcharged to $500.
$500 is the price for an artisan custom keyboard, not a prebuilt gaming board with pointless features like changing the firmness or a super sharp screen.
This! for 300+ ish you can get a vintage style model F, a actual model M is 200. I think someone is even working on a keyboard with GD display under it. I thought I read that'd be 400ish. Asus's ROG line for motherboards, mice, and computers are, well, low quality to be nice.
For five hundred bucks, the keyboard better offer sexual favors.
ROG tax not playing around 💀
ASUS: Here's a $500 keyboard, it's really nice.
Chinese keyboard brands: Here's an aluminum case keyboard for $27, and it's nicer than the ASUS one.
i got a 30$ chinese keyboard recently, and its even got a numpad
meanwhile they cant squeeze a numpad into 500$
@@bikeman1431 not everyone wants a numpad...
theres a reason smaller keyboards are so popular
Where? What's the name of the keyboard? 27?
@@bikeman1431tbh lots of people like board without numpads either for portability or aesthetics, and the inclusion or exclusion of a numpad has nothing to do with cutting costs because honestly the money saved from shortening the length of the PCB is marginal
@@bikeman1431 Numpad is not needed. E-gamers need a smaller keyboard to free more space for their mouse to move.
Armory crate is a cursed piece of software.
fr and i dont even use it even tho i have asus product
My favorite part about Armory Crate is how it sometimes corrupts your Windows install when you try to remove it.
@@JustAFan444 No it doesn't. Sounds like you need to check your overclock stability.
Lol, yes, it can. Specifically if you uninstall and then try to reinstall it. I also don't need to check shit... that was on my old system. Not a chance in hell I'm putting that garbage on my pc again... especially not just for a keyboard.
@@JustAFan444 I've got roughly 8 ROG devices, all with Aura Sync capability. Never has it "broken" Win 11. Sounds like memory instability to me...It's worth noting that if you've got software that polls the system a fair bit it exposes these things quickly.
Would think twice at 150$, not even a second at 500$.
Depends on how good the keyboard is and how long it will last (price to performance and price to longevity)
go pickup the normal azoth. its really really nice
300$ is the maximum for it to be somewhat reasonable given how good it is imo, but 500??? They really missed the mark by pricing it terribly alone.
@@dominiorrr6510 are you aware there are keyboards which are far more expensive?
@@ayckm Yes and I am also aware that almost no one buys them
500$ is insane for a mid keyboard with the only thing going for it is build quality...
And even that's not all that!
Five hundred dollars is insane for a keyboard, full-stop.
And a lot of that premium build quality is for things you won't even see on a regular basis
To be fair its only flaw is the software and most people don't care about it all that much.
@@CptJistuce There are productivity input hardware that cost as much if not more. Ergonomic Split keyboards cost $300+
The reason most gamer keyboards use north-facing-LEDs is, because you are really hard-pressed to find shine-through Keycaps for south-facing LEDs.
Saw many topics where ppl are searching ones for their Keychron Q1 which has south facing LEDs.
Similar for the new NuPhy keyboards, too. The Halo series v2 is south-facing.
Makes sense , that being said If the RGP is not impressive on this spesific board doesn't that kinda make that useless ?
@@Frizzyy Given that the point of shine-through is just to be able to read the legends in a dark room, no it's fine. Is it as pretty if it's dim? No. Is it still functional in the way it needs to be? Yes. RGB only really exists because they were already putting LEDs on keyboards for visibility, and when addressable RGB LEDs became common/cheap enough they could easily incorporate them.
@@Lord_zeelBacklit keyboards were originally for the look-cool factor, not readability.
@@CptJistuce That's really debatable. Functionally they help with readability in dark lighting towards why Logitech and other productivity-oriented keyboard manufacturers use backlighting
your song sounds good but it doesn't have hall effect switches
I just wanna know what that giant thing on your desk at the beginning was. 😂😂😂
for real, please tell us what that is
Hipyo, could you talk avout the wooting 80he when it comes out next month? Thank you.
I'm not even a gamer, just someone who is new to and suddenly hype on mechanical keyboards after purchasing the YUNZII X71 but I've enjoyed hours of your video reviews and I've learned a lot, thanks!!
Asus AC is truly the worst software, period. We still have an original Azoth we love, put Morandi in it over a year ago and one of my son keeps using it over all the customs I have on display that I'm not using. Bottom line is that if I want to put decent caps, GMK Honor Dark would look good, on my $500 keyboard I have to also replace the switches... might as well have ordered a Freya or I could get a maxed out Sonnet. I would buy this for $350 because we like the original so much and because I'm a goob and spend too much money on keyboards... but not $500. Great review as always! You are the first I have seen actually test the cherry caps on the snow switches and for me that is HUGE.
I'm only half way through this video at this moment but honestly I would pay this price just for a wireless RGB keyboard with no awful light bleed between the keys!
As a programmer i do i do love textured pbt keycaps and i love the build quality here. 😍
But i''ll keep my Flare II animare longer 😝
I was watching this wondering about the software because Ive been having issues with Razer Synapse and head desked as soon as you said the Asus software basically isnt any better. Love the attention to detail and the honesty!
Armory Crate is generally terrible.
I've never had a keyboard so far, I'm writing this review from a laptop keyboard
YOU FINALLY DID IT HIPYO, YOU FINISHED THE AULA F75 VIDEO
Cast Buff *increase engagement*
8:44 fire, also really liked focus and how the sky looked
Me with 25$ GameStop gs200 gaming keyboard 🤣
now asus should make flare 3 with that lcd screen - would be the ultimate keyboard
10:00 C'mon seriously? Are you really complaining about gaming keyboards having shine-through key caps? They're gamers not typist! Some people rely on illumination on their key caps to type. Heck I'm a writer and I get infuriated sometimes because its just so damn difficult to find shine-through key caps. Worse still some switches completely blocks the LED from shining through. Like, WHAT'S THE POINT OF AN RGB KEYBOARD IF THE LIGHTS NOT EVEN GOING TO SHINE THROUGH MY BLACK JWK SWITCHES???
Also, not everyone on this Earth is able to type on their keyboard blind you know. That shine through really helps okay hey I'm sorry rant over :X
I have an azoth.
I bought it because when they had it displayed...... it was just so perfect. So quiet yet tactile. :)
Video like 6 or something of asking hipyo to review the onn. Compact wireless keyboard
Hipyo honestly you’re such a great CZcamsr and will never let me down by entertaining me wth amazing content and lots of enthusiasm.
Bro do some cable management 😂
ive offered to recode armory crate ive yet to hear from asus... i even gave them a preview of what i can immediately improve. Asus is on one lately... i still love them
$500 is outrageous for a non HE keyboard. You can buy a top of the line custom wooting 80he for $200 less which smokes this keyboard in every way
While I think HE is better for some gaming circumstances, its pretty disingenuous to say the wooting smokes this in every way - the typing experience on HE is still pretty inferior compared to mechanical switches, and the boards build quality is stellar.
Wooting is no where near top of the line but yes, that is still better than this.
@HipyoTech
Of course you saying that they’re your sponsors lmaoo. Gtfo
@@Keeki549 Wooting is overrated .. and sucks
LMAO ... and NO .. Hall Effect switches will never feels or sounds as good as mechanical
@@kyosukeshidou1370 QK65 Classic HE switches sound great.
Havent paid attention to keyboard stuff for 2 years now, what have i missed out on?
Basically a gaming company is finally giving a pre-built custom mechanical keyboard to gamers, but everyone is up in arms about the cost because they have no idea what it is.
holy be jesus thats expensive
I got my Wooting One from Kickstarter in like 2017 for 130$. Couple months ago I finally replaced 1 switch under my D key that was getting wobbly with one of the included 8x replacement optical switches in the box (4x tactile 4x smooth) At this rate I won't need another KB, but if/when I do, it'll be a Wooting.
Hey what's the big oversized keyboard and where can I get it?
I think it's the Redragon K605.
I agree, it seems like a wonderful build. I could just build or modify multiple boards for the same price and get some variety.
This is more expensive than my pc
Oh man its like the perfect 10/10 dive but end up landing on its face with the price… crazy how smaller brands can offer so much more for so much less! Great video ❤❤❤
Why yes, we can all laugh at the price.... but like... I have to respect Asus at this point. They have seen Hipyo being extremely critical of their products, and they are still supporting him.
yeah it shocks me every time they come back, but it shows they really do care to a certain extent
I don't care about a company known for shitty customer service taking a liking to a CZcamsr. I care about price to performance ratio.
@@ThisisDD to be fair that's mostly their us branch I I deal with their Taiwan branch who work on the products themselves
Bro why when I want my keyboard to thock you have to search up “how to make a keyboard thock but when I want a creamy keyboard I search up how to make you keyboard cream police show up at my door💀💀💀😢
Wooting is still better
This comment never ever gets old
Wooting is realistically the best keyboard for gaming in my eyes.
I have an Apex Pro Full. If you gave me a Wooting keyboard, I’m unsure if I could feel any difference anyways 😅
@@browniex5120 that’s because it’s true
@@browniex5120You’d feel a massive difference.
Said no one ever who actually uses decent keyboards. Stop falling for the gamer marketing bullshit and buy real keyboards.
@@kleinkalibar7486 Blud doesn’t understand that the wooting can be modded and even when it isn’t modded, if you get it for the first time it’s actually a really good keyboard for the price plus all the features it has is actually beneficial for gamers, with rapid trigger and DSK, no keyboard is even close to beating wooting yet, if you want just a good quality sounding keyboard out of the box wooting definitely is it.
Also, even if you didn’t want to use those gaming features, typing on the wooting is a solid 8/10. Hate it if you want but wooting is still better for the price.
Now kiss me or stay single lil bro
10:50 bro ripped the stabilizer stem out of the housing lmao RIP
I LOVE wrist rests, screw your opinion.
How is, "I can't use a wrist rest because it physically hurts me" an opinion?
You should review the bridge75 keyboard, i’ve heard good things about it 😁
500 for an ASUS is crazy even if it is the best ASUS
Great video Hipyo. I don't know if I'd ever buy myself a $500 pe-built keybaord from a gaming company, but this is one of the best review videos I've seen on a keyboard. You were clear, touched on everything I could want and I watched it all the way through. Well done!
Song “try things” is actually pretty solid man!! Plesently surprised.
if the software was better i would buy this. I think it is beautiful in all black
Just got a Keychron Q5 Pro. 6+ pounds of machined aluminum. Sounds amazing. Feels fantastic to type on. White case. $230. I can't imagine how this keyboard could be worth more than twice the price.
I’m new to the custom keyboard scene, what high quality key cap company would be good with the azoth north faced leds that wouldn’t ruin the sound & feel of the snow switches
I've heard so much about north-facing interference but I think this is the first time I've seen it demonstrated. Thanks.
I'd be with you on the hate of north facing leds if it wasn't for the fact that no one anywhere seems to make shine through caps for south facing leds outside of overpriced etsy shops. and I do not mean keycaps with the letters on the side, those are something else imo, but there are no shine throughs where the legends are on the south side of the top of the keycap to take advantage of the leds location. even companies that seem to only make boards with south facing leds only produce keycaps for north facing ones, it's honestly ridiculous, so until there are good shine throughs for south facing leds I'd say you need to tone down the hate a bit for north facing ones lol.
and yes, I know most people into keyboards are touch typists and thus do not need shine throughs, but for those of us who have hybrid typing styles or just hunt and peck but still want good boards, shine through is nice and handy, plus it looks nice at night.
edit: Actually, you know, you pointed out in this video that you make keycaps Hippyo so you could actually be the one to plug this odd hole in the market. I know you don't like shine throughs yourself but for the people that do if you made keycaps that are quality shine through with the legends on the lower half of the cap(not the side) I know there are a ton of people who would buy them myself included. I have found forum posts going back almost a decade of people looking for south facing shine throughs but again no one seems to want to make them, so please, be the one to plug that hole in the market
Bro, who gives a crap about north facing LEDs?
They are my personal preference tbh. Way better lighting performance. The light is directly below the lettering, thus you don't need a lot of it to get a good performance and visibility. There are keycaps which are made with that in mind, so you use stuff that is compatible and don't moan about stuff that isn't compatible. Like, am I insane or is it not reasonable to expect someone to watch for parts compatibility?
And what's wrong with shine through key caps?🤔
@@johanb.7869 that was my point, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. They work the best with north facing LEDs, can be of great quality and are imo essential for certain applications. Such as RGB keyboards with visible key legend.
The whole "south facing" crap is purely snobbery of the highest tier, considering that it's 2024. It's one of those things that are a hold over from old times
I really don't see the big issue on north-facing rgb. Yes it may have some interference, but it is minor and this keyboard is not exclusively made for custom keyboard enthusiasts. It is a gaming keyboard and north facing rgb is better for shine through. South facing can work for shine through, but they have to be incredibly bright or you need the right keycaps.
THANK YOU!!!!
I don't think people realize that the 'right keycaps' for south-facing would be awkard as hell, because all the legends will need to shift to the bottom as well.
North facing RGB is a must for a gaming keyboard IMO.
Thanks for the Review Dude. It definitely gave us a heads-up prior to Deciding if Buying it or Not. 😁I agree the PRICE is way to high. Considering the Premium Quality of this keyboard, I'd say the PRICE should be around $350 to $400. 😁👍👍
An important question about the media control knob: are the pause/play and volume control really on different tabs? So you have to cycle through from one to the other and back, if you want to change them?
"any idea what these are"
Well they remind me conceptually of the 3 seashells from Demolition Man.
I love shine through keycaps, because I can see the letters in dim lit room
Literally the week after I bought my Azoth, they announced this x.x
Its perfect, apart from software. For something much cheaper but still want asus, the strix scope ii 96 is better. Armoury crate works great, but you WILL have issues with aura sync
Wooting 80HE is coming out in Q4 2024 and has 8000hz polling. In addition they're in an "arms race" with Razer to come up with new hall effect settings. See FPS (mostly CS) drama around Razer Snap Tap.
Im ngl it would be dope if you could change the name on the weight
I’ve seen the CZcams short already but could you do a full video review on the 8bitdo keyboard I wanna what you think about it since I’m planning on picking one up
I don't quite know why.. guess I was just being brand loyal for having an Asus mobo, GPU, and mouse... But it was because of you I got the original Azoth. And without question it is by far the best major PC brand keyboard I've ever used. I've swapped the switches just like you did.. but I really liked it.
It was super over priced (I paid $250 cad which was it on sale!), but it featured almost everything I would have done to it. Minus the switches, which after some lube they felt and sounded decent!
As you mentioned in your review today though, I absolutely hate armoury crate. It's messy and very very laggy at all times. But it also puts everything together for my computer, overclocking, RGB control, and peripheral control to name a few.
One final thing, wow. I wish I had contacts to send you for music your voice is insane and I'm loving your music. Congrats on the release.
*Asus keyboard walks through the dark alley*
*Gets stabbed*
*Whispering in the ear*
"Wuque studio send their regards"
i just found myself gripping my azoth to my chest touching it all over and i can feel its resentment.... my azoth is watching me, watch hipyo, glaze over the machined aluminum (so am i full erectified) and i am gripping and grooving my azoth as i look at the MASTERFULLNESS of this Azoth Extreme... good god... i use to be one of those people that saID NEVER will i spend more than 50 on a keyboard... till i bought my first asus flare... then a scope.. then the azoth... now i have an appreciation for custom keyboards thanks to Hipyo, but i am a rog loyalist.. my entire EVERYTHING is strix... nothing less... but this azoth X is something different... that hard soft switch is SICK the craftsman ship good god... i just bought a strix 3060 and a strix XG27UQR 4k 144hz panel... now thiissss????? im hiiiiitttt bro just bury me
Putting the design on the inside of the keyboard reminds me of what designers do inside of microchips. Sometimes we will draw things in them, things only a designer at the company would even ever get to see, but they’re there. There may or may not be a microscopic little dinosaur in your electronics, and you’ll never ever get to see it unless you were employed by the company and got access to the archives of that design. Even then, you’d need to know where to zoom in and what layers to look at.
Did you etch anything offensive in a consumer product before? lol
These are pre-built, but you can open them up to see, or change the amount of dampening (you can remove a layer to make it even softer).
Wide wrist rest good! 4.25in is my preferred the usual 2.5in or 3.5in isn't enough!
no hall effect switches for a $500 GAMING keyboard is crazy
Very good balance review. ASUS Please note and make a full-size keyboard that looks as nice as the Azoth
9:22 the rezon keyboard also has 8000 hz
so do some even cheaper razer ones that have had 8khz since 2021
Have you guys noticed the switch in Hipyos content. And his switch in tastes for THOCK since 2023
That "Boot on startup" Issue you mentioned is literally my main gripe against GoG (which is saying a lot given how laggy GoG is). That reason alone is enough to make me avoid an Asus keyboard, even if it was amazing and super cheap.
This looks like a legit $250 keyboard. Maybe even the first one. And if it's ever on sale for 50% off, I'm interested.
Hey hipyo could you please check out the bridge75. It looks good and worthy of the budget king imo
Wow, a lot of those details on the keyboard are really cool. The etching on the inside, the rubber having all of the logos, etc. All of it is completely pointless though and I would absolutely prefer it to not be there and for the keyboard to just cost $20 less for not having it.
Some people like expansive stuff, it makes them feel good, big companies understand that. See the new controllers, it's a race on who will release the most expansive device, and people run for it !
i bought a MageGee SKY 81 with purple switches and switched my caps to the Womier Pudding Keycaps and I love it and I literally only paid like 60 bucks. Its a 5 layer gasket mounted board. No way in hell am i paying $500 for a keyboard
The Song Is Very good
currently in my playlist 👌
Asus Azoth video. Time to set up subs target for getting blue dyed hair? Great video as always. Thanks.
All of my thoughts are my own! great tshirt idea. make it happen ;P
@@kurtmarkusmattsson even the dumb ones hehe
Armoury Crate messes with and conflicts with other RGB software like iCue or ASRock RGBLED. It does work along side of L-Connect, Steelseries and Roccat. For the ASUS keyboard of which I own the ASUS Scope NX TKL it is best to use Aura Creator to create your own lighting effects. I found using just the Armoury Crate to do this the colors are not as vivid. Just thought I'd mention this. Cheers!
For that kinda money I expect to have the snap tap feature too!
What does it say that the biggest turn-off immediately changed when I learned that you had to install Armory Crate?
Please go from this expensive keyboard to to super cheap yet fully functional ak820 pro from epomaker x ajazz, then hipyo your task is to make it actually look nice
for 500 dollars that wrist rest better be made out of solid gold
got the standard Azoth, did a tape and foam mod and improved gasket performance by loosening the screws. Excpet for armory crate its perfect. There is no reason I would upgrade to this one.
4:10 Though that was a chihuahua for a sec
I can preorder the wooting 80HE in the premium zinc alloy case and still have enough money leftover to buy a 60HE for the same price as this. WHAT.
Asus, I love you. But can you please make the rog azoth in the ch layout before you make an Azoth extreme. PleaSe!!!
What's the CH layout? Chinese?
@@ayckm No, Ch isn‘t chinese! It it is the shortend form of Switzerland wich has a layout on its own.
I have it. Lasted 4 months until heavy key chatter rendered it unusable. Swapping the switches for Morandis didn't solve the issue. Since I don't live in the US, Asus didn't honor the warranty 😢 EDIT: I am talking about the original Azoth, not the $500 one featured in this video.
You mean the original Azoth? The Extreme hasn't even been out 4 months....
Not sure why people buy stuff and expect companies to provide warranty from a different country, the are some special cases, but it's not a given with any company afaik.
@@ayckm Nice catch! I was talking about the original Azoth and I'm editing my original comment to fix the mistake. For the other question, we've bought many computer parts from Corsair, Deep Cool, Asus, and Thermaltake for the past few years. Among those companies, Asus is the only one that has offices and a factory in my country and also the only one that didn't honor the warranty even if we bought their product from a reputable distributor (my country's Amazon). Their UX makes it painful to raise an RMA ticket (compared to the other companies' websites), and when we finally managed to contact them, my assistant was treated like she was some kind of beggar.
Therefore yes, when I pay top dollar for the stuff I buy I expect to be treated fairly for the products we have that are still under warranty, and even if the answer is "no" at least I expect to be treated with respect, because It hurts me that I've been trusting them with my money and my preference for the last 20+ years and and that money was not free. As a lifelong Asus fan, It really breaks my heart that after dozens of awesome products bought from them over the years, the moment something goes wrong they treat me like this. Also, I understand they also had problems recently for treating US customers unfairly with their warranty policies so this is most likely not an "out of the country" issue. People and companies want to feel safe when buying expensive products.
Thanks for pointing out that this was about the original Azoth.
Edit: I can see that this is an Asus-sponsored video. Please feel free to delete/hide my comment (after reading it). I just want things to improve and be able to keep buying Asus products safely. Regards.
In terms of thock sound, type feel and performance, even $50-70 keyboard like Rainy75/Mchose GX75 can beat this keyboard by using the top switches. NX Snow from Gateron is a great Tier 1 switch but still not the best, compared to those Chinses OEM switches. The price for this keyboard is for the respect of craftmanship. the OLED monitor, wrist rest and the design team. Asus team did a great execution on the built quality. I highly respect them in pushing the quality to a higher level that differentiate themselves.
What is the giant keyboard you use at the beginning???? I need one!
Imagine Angry Miao made this Keyboard and would sell it for the same price. You would say the case looks detailed and expensive. I think it's worth it. I still would rather buy another custome keyboard because there aren't many people having it. But wohever buys it gets a great keyboard that's worth it's price.
They kinda already did with that one gaming board that looks like a lambo
I'd love to buy this keyboard!
...if it was $200...
