Asus ROG has today expanded its Azoth keyboard family with a new, feature-packed model, the ROG Azoth 96 HE. This new board adopts a compact 96% layout and is loaded with the latest gaming features, including new magnetic switches, a true 8000 Hz polling rate, and an integrated full-colour touchscreen.
The new Azoth 96 HE features hot-swappable ROG HFX V2 magnetic switches. These switches, combined with a new ROG Hall sensor, allow for a highly customisable actuation point, adjustable from 0.1 mm to 3.5 mm. This also enables support for a Rapid Trigger function, giving gamers a significant competitive advantage in fast-paced titles.
The keyboard boasts an 8000 Hz polling rate in both wired and ROG SpeedNova 8K wireless modes, a feature that previously required a special booster dongle on other ROG keyboards. It also offers standard Bluetooth connectivity, allowing it to pair with up to five devices simultaneously. For on-the-fly control, the Azoth 96 HE features a 1.47-inch OLED touchscreen and a three-way control knob, both from the flagship Azoth Extreme. This allows users to adjust settings like the actuation point and trigger sensitivity directly on the board, without needing to open any software mid-game.
The keyboard also features a premium build with a metal top cover, gasket mount structure, and a full six-layer sound-dampening system with multiple layers of PORON foam and silicone to provide a cushioned and refined typing sound. Lastly, Asus has even included some transparent ROG-branded keycaps in the box for an extra touch of customisation.

KitGuru says: Asus has not shared pricing information but given that the cheapest Azoth keyboard goes for more than £200, the ROG Azoth 96 HE won't certainly come cheap.
