The Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm is the clicky version of the compact ASUS ROG wireless keyboard. ROG NX Storm switches give a crisp click and a clear tactile point on every press, while the 96% layout keeps the number pad and arrows in a body only 377 mm wide. It connects three ways, over 2.4 GHz with ROG SpeedNova, over Bluetooth 5.1 or by USB cable, and ASUS rates the battery at up to 1,500+ hours in 2.4 GHz mode with the RGB lighting off.

What NX Storm switches feel and sound like
ASUS describes NX Storm as a clicky switch with a crisp, clacky sound. It actuates at 1.8 mm, needs 65 gf to pass the tactile point and has a 25% click ratio. The switch uses a POM stem with polycarbonate housings and is lubricated at the factory, so travel stays smooth even though each press ends in a sharp click. That makes the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm a keyboard for people who enjoy hearing and feeling every keystroke: fast typists, writers who also game, and anyone coming from a classic blue-switch board. The tactile point also confirms that a key has registered, which helps avoid accidental double presses.
Clicky at home, in the office and on stream
A clicky keyboard is loud by design. In your own room the sound is part of the appeal; in a shared office, a dorm or next to someone sleeping it can be a problem, so think about where the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm will live. On stream or in voice chat, the noise suppression in your microphone software will usually filter most of the clicks. If you later want something quieter, the sockets are hot-swappable: pull the NX Storm switches with the included 2-in-1 tool and fit linear switches without soldering. ASUS advises doing this with the keyboard switched off.
96% layout and three connections
The 96% layout keeps every function key and the full number pad but packs the arrow and navigation cluster tighter, so the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm measures 377 x 131 x 40 mm. You keep the numpad for spreadsheets and accounting work and gain some mouse room compared with a full-size board. Connections are 2.4 GHz RF with ROG SpeedNova and the ROG Omni Receiver, which pairs one compatible ROG keyboard and one compatible ROG mouse on a single dongle; Bluetooth 5.1; and wired USB through the 2 m braided USB-A to USB-C cable at a 1000 Hz report rate. A USB extender is in the box.
Battery and sound dampening
ASUS rates the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm at up to 1,500+ hours in 2.4 GHz mode with RGB off. Per-key RGB uses far more power and ASUS does not publish a lights-on or Bluetooth figure on its page, so charge more often if you keep the lighting on. Inside, dampening foam and switch-dampening pads absorb the ping and echo that hollow cases make, so the click of the switches comes through clean rather than rattly. The long keys use tuned, lubricated stabilizers.
Controls, keycaps and the wrist rest
On the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm, a multi-function button and a multiwheel control media, volume and lighting. The F1 to F5 keys work as quick hotkeys for Xbox Game Bar, screenshots, recording the last 30 seconds, starting or pausing a recording and muting the microphone. Per-key RGB works with Aura Sync and Windows Dynamic Lighting, every key is programmable in Armoury Crate, and N-key rollover prevents ghosting. A detachable wrist rest and three tilt angles help long sessions. ASUS ships the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm with either PBT doubleshot or UV-coated ABS keycaps depending on region.
Who This Is Not For
If you share a room or an office, the Scope II 96 Wireless NX Storm may annoy the people around you: the switches are deliberately loud. Players who want the lightest, fastest key reset may prefer a linear switch such as NX Snow. ASUS lists Windows 11 as the supported system and Armoury Crate runs on Windows, so a Mac can type over Bluetooth but loses the software settings. At 1,012 g without the cable it is also too heavy to carry every day.
