As a builder of custom boards, to see this amount of consideration for a gaming keyboard is hurting my brain...in a good way. Very impressive stuff

Fully agree on the Azoth! Really good to see big branded gaming peripherals really step up! Great review as always!

ROG have really been stepping up their peripherals recently. All we need is a refresh to their headset and they would have a new slate of improved peripherals. Love to see a company as large as ASUS listening to enthusiasts.

I love how Brian talks much calmer now. The loud old days are gone and I love how the channel is nowadays. Great voice!

That keyboard is insanely cool. As you kept spouting off the different features I was just in awe at the attention to detail they put into this product. I haven’t bought a “gaming” keyboard in years but I will definitely be buying one of these.

Awesome overview and hands on experience detailing! Thank you so much for taking some time to look at what ROG is bringing to your desk in 2023 - As always stay tuned for more! New up the ROG Raikiri Pro controller right? Best wishes to you and the channel and the whole community in 2023!

First time finding your channel and I am extremely impressed. I love the flow.

I love seeing these brands identifying things in the custom keyboard scene that they can bring over to their stock boards to improve the quality and the overall look and feel of their products. I’m really excited to see Asus doing stuff like this.

someone with love for the custom market had input on these products, love it

Good to see Asus ROG branching out to an enthusiast level of both custom keebs and gaming mice. These products are SOLID. Excited to get my hands on that board for sure. Great review 💪🏽🔥

Man, it feels fantastic seeing more gaming keyboard brands putting out keyboards closer to enthusiast-grade. And the lubing tools included? Wowzers, I am speechless.

Damn this is seriously impressive for a stock gaming setup. I've decided to stop using customs for gaming a while ago and have been rocking a Ducky TKL. But this........ Has my attention. Great video as always my man. Entertaining and informative

I've personally worked with the folks over at AIM Lab and they are great people! Cool to see them work with ASUS and come out with a solid mouse.

First video I've watched on your channel and I am SUPER impressed! Hugely competitive gamer, and tech enthusiast, and you provide an amazing amount of detail and comparisons, as well as high production value content, with a great personality. Keep it up!! Also the ROG Harpe shape and weight make me think it's their answer to the G Pro X Superlight, which I loved until it had scroll wheel issues. Currently rocking an ASUS ROG Keris, and I like it, but might give the Harpe a shot as well in the near future.

That keyboard is legit what I’ve been waiting for. Buying it as soon as it’s available locally.

Been using the Harpe Ace for a couple of months and I am in love with it. Just ordered the Azoth since I'm trying to go for an all ROG peripheral set up.

awesome, thanks beard, Stay up

The shape of that mouse is like my Steel Series Rival 3 Wireless. That "hump' is actually really nice for medium to large hands. Less pinky drag on your mousepad.

I just bought the combo for black friday sales and so glad I did. They both feel amazing and defn added to my gaming experience when I play apex

Your content is more than S tier, my dude. Blows me away that you aren't at 500k yet But you will be. ;) Glad I got in early!

Hi, this is the first video I see from your channel and I subscribed instantly. Very good quality, you speak very well so it isn't difficult to undestand by peope who doesn't speak english like me. Event the edit is pefect. Keep up the good work ! :)

another awesome video, looking forward to your UpToDate amp/dec review

Loving the content, can't wait for this one. But I am still waiting on the lamzu review you have mention online.

Your videos are the best. Thanks for the fantastic content and honest reviews. Plus the “NOPE” over the price had me rolling. I was waiting for the price the whole time…🤣

Very nice, thanks for the review! 👌🏻

Nice vid as always. I gotta know though, what is the wrist rest you're using in the video? I've never seen it before. Thanks for the quality content as always.

That keyboard sounds great!

That cm ruler is fucking DOPE. Idk how no one has thought of that yet

Woah the keyboard sounds good was not expecting that

Damn I might have to grab this over the wooting, that layout and wireless sounds REALLY nice.

Wow, the keyboard is through the roof!! Awesome ASUS!!

Great review BadSeed, impressive build quality. I was wondering what brand are the speakers you use with your system? Best of wishes and a Happy New Year

That keyboard sounds GOOD omg

I am blown away by this keyboard especially when its from ASUS, btw great video as always!

Wow, I want that keyboard. That’s so sick

Pretty crazy that they included Krytox and the switch opener.

62hours with both rgb and oled display on is insane

bought the new Azoth with NX Snow and gad damn ... it is one hell of a fine keyboard , no mods needed

In the next 3 years we're gonna see most if not all peripheral companies coming out with 65% and 75% mechanical keyboards and hopefully some hall effect switches in those form factors as well

finally a good customizable gaming keyboard and a good mice too from ROG. Damn, never see this coming. It's a very good step up from ROG

Yes! Let’s go!!!!

Great video ! ASUS coming in with the heat

oooo that 75% keyboard format is nice! Nice to see these bigger companies adpating it.

I saw ROG's analog keyboard on a store near me and yes I can confirm that their stabs are top-tier

The mouse shape reminds me of the old school mouses we had back in the day in middle school (20years ago)

that beard trim though. slick!

Hell yeah bro, this is a solid set as long as that redacted price is good. Also looking pretty healthy these days bro, awesome job. Cant wait for more videos.

Whoa, Asus taking notes on the custom keeb market and making a decent sounding board.

Definitely going to cop all 3. Hopefully I can get the finalmouse keyboard when it drops

I'll say the same thing I said on Keybored's video, if they offered alternate plates I think this would be a homerun. I hate steel plates. Gimme POM, PC, or FR4. Great video as usual brian!

I really appreciate the fact that it has Mac and pc keys. As someone who uses both daily, it’s a must

"That is a steal for what you are getting in that board" thanks asus great stuff and wish a great year ahead

this man just cocked blocked us with the price!!! haha what a Tease. Always great Vids ma man! SOLID

I'm glad I see videos like this, seeing the companies actually give a shit and actually improve on their products

actually look clean

Brian I can’t believe you didn’t throw in some of your own switches and cap onto this keyboard! Either way I’m really blown away by asus who usually brings rather tacky (opinion) peripherals. Hats off to asus

Damnit. Whenever I wanna quit the game, dope stuff like this releases. Will be copping this set, looks incredible and has features I really want

Nice video!

Teasing those monitors ):

Damn, that sounds phenomenal stock. Well played Asus.

Stay up!

Damn, Editing Brian had me in the fist half.

ROG team really are listening to the customers! If priced right, I might get one for myself too.

Damn, I’ve been thinking of building another custom for my setup as I have my Dygma raise for everything but it’s annoying to have to reconnect every time. Having 2 keyboards on the desk is ideal for me with the main typer being wireless so I might jump on this board!

Your Setup is Neat would love to have the Items Desk , Mats , Speakers etc.. For once KZfaq Recommendation got me into a good Channel

didnt expect this from rog

looks like I'll be returning my keyboard and waiting for this one to come out!

Easily the best sounding stock gaming board I've heard

To see a gaming keyboard that is actually pretty appealing to enthusiasts as well feels like a dream. Most keyboards I've ever seen are either completely gamer-orientated and not appealing to enthusiasts in the slightest, or completely enthusiast-orientated and has some setbacks that might bother gamers (other than a HELLA lot of RGB). I just hope that BadSeed Tech means an actually affordable price point by a "steal" because I feel like keyboard enthusiasts are the type of people who would call bank-breaking price tags "dirt cheap". Edit: Apparently the new keyboard will be $250, which no matter how many features you get for the money, dooesn't sound like a "steal". I think enthusiasts are so desensitized to above AirPods level prices for keyboards, they'd call $300 for a "better-sounding" and "better-feeling" mechanical keyboard "dirt cheap" like it's actually $30. The custom mech keyboard world is literally the California of the overall keyboard universe. Wanna cheap out? F u. You must destroy your bank like the rest of us for anything acceptable.

Great review! I got mine a week ago with red keys.

Gnarly quality video.

I click for the tech stuff, stayed for the awesome beard.

This keeb look very promising. Good review as well. A few prices are coming out and I would not call this a steal.

Very cool board, but I'm more excited for the mouse! Edit: I like that both have wireless options (and BT), although my keyboard stays wired, I use it wireless with my work laptop and I use the mouse with BT and I feel like this is useful to a lot of people :)

Those clicks actually sound super nice. I'm loving the keyboard too. The font is meh, but I'm super into the height of the caps.

Ok, I'm getting both the mouse and keyboard. Nicely done Asus!

Let's consider the fact that he lubed this every damn switch for a 10 second soundtest snippet on a *gaming keyboard*. If that's not dedication I don't know what is.

As always impartial. Thanks i know that will catch you attention

I've had my Steelseries sensei for around 9 years so if this mouse is similar in shape, I might be into it

You sir, have an amazing beard. I trust your judgment on the keeb and mouse.

This was an amazing review no doubt but can we talk about how majestic his beard is

I have been looking for a new keyboard, and though I am not big on the gaming-looking peripherals, this is definitely in my radar. I wanted a good gaming keyboard that I could use my and with my MacBook and this is right up my alley.

This is an extremely solid offering. I am officially impressed. GG's ASUS

1:53 completely random question but whats that game you're playing there? looks amazing. Also great product review as always

Brian, you had shotgun mic so close that the proximity effect was heavily influencing the sound tests

Brian, i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and your videos. My favorite tech youtuber by far.

The keyboard looks pretty dope, but I wish they were focusing more in performance by creating their own unique switches to compete vs Lekker, OmniPoint switches and stuff

Glad to see the channel growing. Sub to the hommie, he be putting out detailed videos every time.

Got me on the price. DAMN I gotta wait.

i'm in Taiwan, and today i got to order this keyboard at around 245USD, hopefully it won't be marked up too much when it gets to the USA. it is a steal at this price if the keyboard performs as good as Brian says. thanks for the review, i ordered it because of this video.

Any thoughts on reviewing the Beacn Mix/Mix Create? I've had it since launch but would love to see what you think about it!

I’m blown away. Asus did their homework

i just got in a Huntsman V2 TKL and this keyboard is giving me second thoughts and maybe just return and wait. I need something i can use for work and gaming so i need something with F keys. I didn't like any of the wireless options right now like the low profile death stalker or G915 which is low profile as well but love the versatility of a wireless keyboard with 2.4 or Bluetooth to use with my work and personal laptop. I really wanted a 75% keyboard but settled on the TKL a lot of the custom builds seemed to have higher latency and didn't really look great with my all black/rgb pc build. Dang. This video makes my choice tougher for sure.

Thanks badseed for the video I got my ROG red switch Azoth today online. I want a wooting but it wont be available till mid April, they said it should be available on the shelf at that time and the preorder time is right there also. I'm going to use the Azoth for a few months holding out to try that wooting. I wasnt too sure on this Harpe mouse though, is it worth the 150 or would you pull out other mice first in that range for like overwatch 2 gaming?

Damn the keyboard sure hell looks interesting!!!

Banger vid

These look great, I used to work at ASUS and their peripherals have really come along. How was the software? That was usually the main pain point with ASUS products. They do also like an ASUS premium on their peripherals so hoping these are quite reasonable.

Keeping a eye on the mouse for sure

I see you are starting to come back again

Holy moly everything look so slick! Impressive. Plus if you are used to imperial units now you have a new very convenient way to measure your stuff in cm without using a converter ahahah, ROG stuff is much better these day, too bad I'm wasting most of my money for my next build in a ROG am5 mobo and monitor, yeah that one from this video.
