Product Overview
The ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is a compact mechanical gaming keyboard that retains the primary functions of a full-size keyboard while reducing its overall desktop footprint. This documented black configuration uses the 96% form factor and includes a numeric keypad, mechanical switches, RGB illumination, wireless connectivity, and a multifunction control system.
The keyboard supports three connection methods: 2.4 GHz RF wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB operation. Its mechanical switch system uses hot-swappable sockets, allowing compatible switches to be replaced without conventional soldering. The documented configuration uses pre-lubricated ROG NX Snow linear mechanical switches. Internal sound-dampening foam and switch-dampening pads are incorporated to reduce unwanted mechanical noise.
PBT keycaps are used on the documented configuration. The keyboard also provides RGB illumination and a multifunction control wheel for supported media and system adjustments. It measures approximately 14.84 inches long, 5.16 inches deep, and 1.57 inches high, with a documented weight of approximately 2.8 pounds. Manufacturer part number X901 STRIX SCOPE II 96 WL/NXSW/CA/PBT identifies this exact configuration. UPC 197105140417 and GTIN 00197105140417 provide standardized product identifiers.
