ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX mechanical gaming keyboard returns to Amazon low at $100

Amazon is offering the ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $99.99 shipped. Normally $130, today’s deal marks a return to the lowest price that we’ve seen only once before. Leveraging ROG’s RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches, you’ll be able to “play at the speed of light” and enjoy a 100 million keystrokes before they wear out. On top of that, these are the first to be developed by ROG and are “fine-tuned” to have a 1.5mm actuation point and only requires 40g of force to press. There’s also a quick-toggle switch that changes the keyboard’s top row from media to function keys so you can quickly flip between work and play. Plus, it packs industry-leading IP57 water and dust resistance so it’s ready to handle anything you need. Keep reading for more.

Update 6/1 @ 4:58 PM: Amazon is offering the EVGA Z20 RGB Optical Mechanical Gaming Keyboard at $61.70 shipped. Down from $90, today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked.

If you already have a gaming keyboard, and instead need a new mouse, then we recommend picking up the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse. It can be picked up for $40 at Amazon, making it a great upgrade to your setup. We went hands-on with the mouse and loved it, so you can take a closer look at our thoughts in the review.

Further upgrade your gaming setup when you pick up an RTX 3060 or better graphics card from $400 in today’s latest GPU roundup. We have several graphics cards to choose from here, including on RTX 3080 that comes in an eGPU so you can easily plug it into a laptop or even desktop to game.

Fine-tuned to have switches with a 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs.
