You can buy the premium ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless keyboard with Czech localization on sale

Looking for a mechanical gaming keyboard with Czech legends that doesn’t take up half your desk? The ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless has just reached its historic price low on Alza. With code ALZADNY25, you can get it for 3,525 CZK, which is more than a thousand CZK less than the usual price of 4,700 CZK.

Compact Form Factor with Full Features

The keyboard uses a 96% form factor, which retains the numpad and function keys but takes up significantly less space than traditional full-size models thanks to its clever layout. With dimensions of 37.7 × 13.1 cm and a weight exceeding one kilogram, it feels solid and doesn’t move on the desk.

Connectivity is handled by three modes – a 2.4GHz wireless receiver for minimal latency, Bluetooth for connecting to multiple devices, and a classic USB-C cable. Battery life, according to users, exceeds two weeks of normal use, which is also confirmed by reviews on Alza.

ROG NX Snow Switches with Factory Lubrication

At the heart of the keyboard are linear ROG NX Snow mechanical switches with an actuation force of 39.2 cN and an actuation distance of just 1.8 mm. ASUS factory-lubricates them, ensuring smooth operation without unpleasant scratching. The switches are also hotswappable, so you can replace them with others over time according to your preference.

Integrated sound-dampening foam absorbs echoes inside the keyboard body. The result is a pleasantly muted sound profile, especially appreciated by those who share a workspace with others.

Streaming Keys and Multifunction Knob

Keys F1 to F5 are pre-set as shortcuts for Xbox Game Bar – screenshot, recording the last 30 seconds, or microphone control can be done with a single press. The multifunction knob in the upper right corner then serves to control volume, media playback, or adjust backlight brightness.

RGB backlighting is fully programmable via Armoury Crate software and supports ASUS Aura Sync synchronization with other compatible peripherals. The package also includes a detachable wrist rest and three options for tilt angle adjustment.

What Users Say

The keyboard has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars from ten users on Alza. Reviewers most often praise the quality craftsmanship, quiet and pleasant NX Snow switches, and solid battery life. “The best keyboard I’ve had so far. It lasts more than 14 days charged,” writes one reviewer.

Criticism is mainly directed at the legibility of Czech legends. According to users, secondary characters are small and poorly visible when the backlight is on. Another complaint concerns the Armoury Crate software, which sometimes requires a computer restart. Some also mention the short left Shift, which is a trade-off for the two-row Enter typical of European layouts.

Who the Keyboard Is and Isn’t For

The ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless makes sense for gamers who want a compact wireless keyboard with Czech legends and don’t want to reach for expensive premium models like the ROG Azoth. It’s also suitable for those who alternate between work and gaming – both groups will appreciate the streaming keys and multifunction knob.

Conversely, if you insist on perfect legibility of legends in all lighting conditions or prefer a larger left Shift, you should look for a US version or another model. However, at 3,525 CZK, it is one of the most interesting offers in the category of wireless mechanical keyboards with Czech localization.
