Long Term Review - 1 Year with ROG Azoth
After using the ROG Azoth as my daily driver for 1 year, there are 2 things that I really think need to be pointed out with my experience with the keyboard.
Let me know what you think about the keyboard and whether or not it is something you'd consider buying, or what alternatives you'd rather buy for a similar price?

    Double clicking, my greatest fear with mechanical switches.

  • @bencegacsadi7840
    @bencegacsadi7840 5 дней назад

    I have been using the same keyboard for almost a year. I love it, but I couldn't get used to the red switches. After about half a year of using it, I had the same problem with the switches you mentioned. I replaced the factory switches with Glorious blue switches. Since then, it works perfectly, and I have no complaints about the keyboard. The only thing that bothers me is the Armoury Crate software; it could work much better, but other than that, I love my ROG Azoth keyboard.

    • @mikes_likes
      @mikes_likes 4 дня назад

      Great to hear you love it! Shame about the experience with the switches though, but glad you found an alternative that's worked for you! Good call out on the Armoury Crate software. It does what it needs to do, but some refinement would really take it to the next level

    Some additional feedback is our RF tuning via firmware alongside chipset offers outstanding low latency ( sub 1 ms ) alongside outstanding polling rate stability. If paired with our compatible ROG mice you can still maintain outstanding low latency and polling rate stability. While you may not appreciate or value the RGB the cost is not a factor essentially the RGB comes from free our focus was ensuring and outstanding mechanical switch with quality lubrication, housing material and internal mechanism for smooth, consistent and reduce wobble. Ultimately if you do not want lighting you can of course engage dark mode or simply use the FN+Arrow keys or also as you asked just change it to a static color. The AZOTH is also a premium enthusiast keyboard with DIY design elements that allow you to swap the switches should you want to entirely "bypass or remove RGB." In our community polling and overall surveys the majority want and like RGB but there is a high minitory who tend to be more causal gamers or not gamers who have picked up the AZOTH who do not like RGB. This is aligns more so with the users corresponding focus and devices used. The switch call out is appreciated but a non factor at this time. The model you are showing is old. These have not been a production for some time. All current production models of the AZOTH use our new ROG NX Snow or Storm switchs which are notable upgrade in every way compared to the prior first generation switch. You can considerably improved the first gen switch by manually lubing it but this is not needed in the current NX SNOW/STORM version of the switch. The additional switches were not provided due to a "non reliability factor" but purely as premium inclusion and for the fact users who have never disasembly or lubed a switch ( which a kit is included with the AZOTH ) will mess up and damage a switch, as such we included "backup". The tolerances of the switch production including for the first generation are actually higher than industry standard at + or - 5 gram force and have a reliability MTBF testing standard that is key high so the failure you experience would be out of the norm. The rated lifespan is 100million ( notebly higher than many other switches ) regardless we are sadden and surprised that you did have an early than expected failure. The fact you having so many failures though could be an indicator of something else and I would look to consider sending the unit for RMA or reaching out to our service and support team. Again this type of failure rate is highly out of the norm. Also if you have an AMD system you also may have a USB bug that may require UEFI BIOS updating. With this noted due to the PCB design you can swap out to an alternate switch of switches which there are any extensive array of. Currently we do not sell the new ROG NX Snow or Storm switches so you cannot purchase these, but again please reach out to our service and support team if you have not. If you want to purchase a set check out Amazon in your region and look for Akko a quality switch provider at lower cost than some of the more ultra premium switch but have good construction, sound profile and an array of choices ( linear or tactile and even silent options ). Another option if you want a tactile is the EPOMAKER Budgerigar. ROG NX Snow mechanical switches utilize composite POM material for the stem with PC top housing and POM bottom housing to provide ultra smooth keystrokes, and the walled stem design enhances stability and prevents dust intrusion. Special tuning is also done, coupled with factory pre-lubing, to give the ROG NX Snow keystroke a very solid and clean sound, with “thocky” acoustics. Thanks for your feedback if you have further questions feel free to reach out to our team.

      @mikes_likes 6 дней назад

      Hey ASUS team! Thank you so much for watching my video and providing such a lengthy and detailed feedback that sheds a very appreciated perspective on the topics. I want to tackle them all so I’ll respond in a categorized way 😊 1) Latency: Agree on the low latency, and perhaps I didn’t call it out enough in the video, but I never felt like the keyboard was at fault when I died in games and it was more due to my own response time than input lag. 2) RGB: It’s interesting to me that RGB “comes for free”. I guess my mindset comes from the fact that with other products (like Philips hue lights) going for the base color range (yellow/whites) is cheaper than getting the full RGB capable product. But perhaps this is a sourcing topic and it’s cheaper to buy a lot of one, than split it across two (RGB and non-RGB). Especially when your polls indicate the majority are RGB enthusiasts and that non-RGB/monotone is a high minority (enough to get a category, but not enough to warrant adjusting product design for 😊) The static color is indeed what I have opted to go for, with 50% brightness slightly off-white color to provide a very gentle white glow. Thanks for pointing out how this is done as I completely passed over this in the video. 3) Switch Failures: I’m happy to hear that the lifespan from testing is as long as it is and that it appears that I unfortunately have a product that falls well outside of the expected failure rate and performance desired. I’ll be looking to RMA the keyboard with my retailer asap. I do not have an AMD system, but thanks for calling that out, because I was not aware of this issue and I’m sure someone out there will benefit from knowing about this. Also, thanks for providing context to the original motivation to provide 3 more switches. I can imagine there are many beginner enthusiasts who are delighted and relieved that they have some back up switches when they accidentally damaged a switch during disassembly. 4) SNOW/STORM upgrade: I don’t entirely agree that my switch call out can be categorized as “a non-factor at this time”. The model I have is less than 2 years old, and whilst an upgrade to the switches has been introduced (Snow & Storm), the fact is that in markets like mine (the Netherlands) the vast majority of retailers only stock the “old” Red switch models (Today - 30.10.2024 - I could only find one retailer that has the NX Snow switches and it comes in the white model - Azerty.nl). So, while the US market now exclusively has new switches, this is probably not the average experience for all consumers in the global marketplace and in my opinion the topic remains relevant. I very much appreciate the shout out to Akko and EPOMAKER Budgerigar. Being new to this scene I am not familiar with which brands and switches are the ‘ones to get’ so thank you for providing some worthy alternatives to consider. Thank you again for your response, I look forward to when my product comes back from RMA and I can give an update on the process and performance of the product. Like I said in the review, I love the feel and sound of the switches, it’s just the lack of reliable performance that has hindered me from thoroughly enjoying it to the max - if you change your mind about selling the NX Snow switches separately, I’ll be first in line to buy a batch 😊

    Have this keyboard in white with the NX Snow switches. Figured it was a good middle ground between a custom keyboard, while not jumping into it just yet. This keyboard has potentially been the best upgrade I have made to my setup in years and have absolutely no regrets about it even though I was initially hesitant to pay $250 for a keyboard . The switches honestly are perfect in terms of sound and feel to me, and I have not experienced any of the issues you mentioned with them just yet(I have had it for about a year as well). While I am not sure if you can actually buy the snow switches individually, I am sure if you email Asus they may give you the option to, at least other companies occasionally do that. Regardless, with it being hot-swappable there are probably 20 other switches equivalent to them if not better if you're looking for the same feel and sound. On a site note: this video was extremely high quality for your sub count, honestly was shocked to see you have less than 100. Keep up the good work!

    Awesome! Take in consideration that the water have a lower density than the milk and this is why the temperature rose up to 42 in your experiment. If it was a milk you tested I believe it will be around 37 degrees. But the problem with the warming up time will remain the same in both cases, i mean, it’ll take longer than 3 minutes to reach the ideal temperature. Nice an honest review, thank you!

    • @WideGamutMedia
      @WideGamutMedia Месяц назад

      Not the case, we are warming up formula with ours and the temperature is also rising above 42 celsius. Not good. It actually gets hot like Mike says and if you don't test, you can pretty much hurt your baby. Not cool Phillips.

      @mikes_likes Месяц назад

      True, in the talking head shots I mostly used the Rode, and when I did use the elgato I didn't change the angle, so you couldn't really see it in action. There are b-roll shots of the Elgato during the video where I show what I'm talking about, for example the clamp, the magnetic guard rails for easy wire routing and the easily adjustable head to mount the mic on. Thanks for watching the review and for your feedback!

    Hi Mike, I loved your video on the scent box! I was wondering, how long do the scents from the box remain good, and do they stay consistent over time? Thanks!

    • @mikes_likes
      @mikes_likes 3 месяца назад

      Thanks Jesse! Great question, we have had the box for 3 years and up to now we haven't noticed any deterioration of the scents. We are relatively casual users though and on average take it out about once a month over the past years, so I'm not sure how heavy usage could have an impact. What I do recommend to extend the quality of the scents is to make sure you keep the caps with their original scent to avoid cross contamination. I am curious now if we just haven't noticed the minor change in scent, so in case I ever find a friend or someone close by who gets a fresh box I'll test ours side by side to see if we notice a difference :D

      You're not wrong :) I kind of did two birds with one stone in this video: high vs low profile and rode vs elgato. But, like you say, kind of ends up a bit like apples vs oranges. A rode vs elgato high profile arm comparison would indeed be a more direct comparison if you're looking for which brand's style and build is better for you. Thanks for the perspective

I have my Wave LP coming from underneath my middle monitor and its completly out of my way when i dont need it. It's by far the best mic arm for people looking to solve an uncommon issue lol.
