ASUS ROG Azoth 96 HE (ROG HFX V2) - EN/SK

ROG Azoth 96 HE is a wireless analogue gaming keyboard that offers professional performance in a sleek and compact 96% layout. It is equipped with hot-swappable ROG HFX V2 magnetic switches and a next-generation ROG Hall sensor. This ensures lightning-fast keystroke detection and a consistent response. Thanks to its three connection modes, you can seamlessly switch between up to five devices with a polling rate of up to 8000Hz. The OLED touch screen and intuitive control knob put system settings at your fingertips, while the six-layer dampening makes every keystroke soft, stable, and pleasant. The keyboard has a premium metal top frame and signature ROG keycaps. A comfortable typing experience is ensured by four layers of PORON, an IXPE pad and a silicone pad, which absorb vibrations and dampen switch sounds; the gasket softness can be adjusted by replacing the bottom dampening foam.

Six-layer gasket dampening and the ROG HE Platform

The Azoth 96 HE keyboard uses six dampening layers—four layers of PORON, one IXPE pad, and one silicone layer—to absorb keystroke vibrations and clicking noise, enabling a pleasant typing experience. ROG HE is a new platform with structural enhancements that provides greater stability and performance. It is an identifier for the switch mounting platform on ROG keyboards that use Hall effect switches. It is compatible with hot-swappable magnetic switches. Within the HE platform, magnetic switches can be used across all supported ROG HE keyboards. The switches will also be compatible with future upgrades using the same mounting type.

ROG HFX V2 magnetic switches and Speed Tap mode

The latest pre-lubed magnetic switch offers a solid, ultra-precise keystroke, lightning-fast response, and a lifespan of up to 100 million presses. The polycarbonate top cover, POM plastic stem and bottom housing ensure an exceptionally smooth keystroke. In addition, the reinforced stem design increases stability and protects against dust and debris. The result is consistently smooth, reliable and precise keystrokes for gaming or typing. When Speed Tap mode is activated, the keyboard prioritises the last key pressed and automatically releases the previous one if two keys are pressed in quick succession. This means that in FPS games, pressing two opposing arrow keys (e.g., A + D) no longer immobilises your character; instead, you can change direction instantly without having to release the previous key, which eliminates counter-strafing delay and ensures you always aim accurately.

Great connectivity options and zone mode

The Azoth 96 HE keyboard offers three connection modes for seamless connectivity via ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, Bluetooth, or a wired USB connection. Discover an ultra-fast response with an 8000Hz polling rate in ROG SpeedNova mode or wired USB mode, which delivers up to an 8× faster refresh rate than most gaming keyboards. This reduces latency from 1ms to just 0.125ms and ensures precise, real-time reactions. Zone mode unlocks maximum competitive performance while disabling features like RGB lighting. When activated, keys essential for gaming are automatically set to the default 8000Hz polling rate, while less-used keys are reduced to 250Hz. The polling rate for each key can be further customised according to the user's preferences.
