ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless keyboard Gaming USB + RF Wireless + Bluetooth QWERTZ German White

ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is a compact 96% gaming keyboard that preserves full-size functionality, including number keys, while reducing footprint to free up desk space. It offers tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz RF, Bluetooth and wired USB) and is compatible with ROG SpeedNova wireless technology and the ROG Omni Receiver. The keyboard includes hot-swappable pre-lubed ROG NX Snow & Storm mechanical switches and a silicone dampening foam design with integrated switch dampening pads for improved typing feel and reduced noise.

Advantages

The 96% layout keeps all essential keys in a smaller form factor so you retain full typing and numeric input without occupying a full-size keyboard area. Tri-mode connection ensures flexible use: long-lasting low-latency wireless play via ROG SpeedNova in 2.4 GHz RF mode, multi-device pairing over Bluetooth, or reliable wired operation while charging. Hot-swappable pre-lubed mechanical switches let you change switches without soldering, and the silicone dampening foam with integrated pads delivers more consistent acoustics and a refined keystroke feel.

Key specifications

• Layout: 96% compact layout with full functions and number keys
• Connectivity: Tri-mode — 2.4 GHz RF (ROG SpeedNova), Bluetooth (up to 3 devices), USB wired
• Wireless runtime: Up to 1,500+ hours in 2.4 GHz RF mode (RGB off)
• Switches: Hot-swappable pre-lubed ROG NX Snow & Storm mechanical switches

How to use

Choose the preferred connection mode: plug the USB cable for wired use and charging, switch to 2.4 GHz RF mode using the included receiver for low-latency wireless play, or pair with up to three devices over Bluetooth. Replace switches by removing keycaps, pulling the switch from the hot-swap socket and inserting a compatible switch. For optimal wireless runtime, disable RGB lighting when using battery power.

Recommendations

Use 2.4 GHz RF mode for competitive gaming to benefit from near-zero latency. Keep RGB lighting off if you need maximum battery life. When swapping switches, use compatible hot-swap mechanical switches and take anti-static precautions.
