Perfect - I like i because you still see characters on the keys even without the backlight

Solid budget keyboard - Solid build all around, without breaking the budget. love the clear keycaps, wish had come with more!

Works great - Quality keyboard, plug n play, works great and as intended

Asus Morph - It's a great keyboard with lots of potential out of the box. The RGB on this keyboard is totally insane. Great for enthusiast. But the keyboard is not for me I prefer the low profile form factor. Great for gaming as well.

Best Keyboard - his keyboard strikes the ideal balance between full functionality and a streamlined footprint. The 96% layout brilliantly retains the numpad while freeing up essential desk space for other hardware. Standout Features Customization: Swapping out keycaps is seamless, and the single-key remapping functionality allows for a highly tailored, precise workflow. Ergonomics & Build: The chassis is rigid and durable, pairing exceptionally well with a custom wrist rest for comfortable, all-day use. Switch Performance: The mechanical switches deliver sharp, responsive feedback perfect for both rapid typing and quick in-game actions. Long battery life Cons: Does not come with a wrist rest. I found a perfect wrist rest though a a low price: Ergonomic Silicone Wrist Rest for Keychron K4 Pro / K4 Max / Q5 / V5 / V5 Max,15.37" Honeycomb Non-Slip Palm Rest, 96% Full-Sized

Great keyboard, but RGB visibility disappoints - The ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% feels solid, comfortable, and very versatile. The NX Snow switches are smooth and pleasant for both gaming and typing, and the compact layout still includes a number pad. However, the RGB lighting leaves something to be desired. The key legends are not translucent, so at night or in a dark room it is difficult to see the symbols and type accurately despite having RGB lighting.

Excellent Keyboard that punches above its price - where to start 1. wireless 2. online webpage for customization 3. mix of metal and plastic build and feels sturdy 4. mod friendly 5 south facing I bought this for $99.99+ taxes. if you're like me you probably compared it to a bunch of other budget keyboards on amazon from brands like RK, melgeek, kiiboom etc. What those keyboards dont have is either a reliable web based software or they are not as mod friendly being all plastic and held together with plastic tabs or they are just built cheap. This keyboard has basically everything you need from a premium 96% with the only missing features being magnetic or TMR switches and a wrist rest. I would highly recommend this keyboard if you are looking for one of the best regular hotswap full size keyboards. My only complaint is that the volume knob is pretty cheap feeling, it works great which is why im not deducting starts but its cheap thin plastic. Some of the cheaper keyboards on amazon have better/aluminum knobs .

Good keyboard. - There's not much to say here. There's no latency on the wireless connection. Keys feel great. The RGB looks nice. This is by far the most expensive keyboard Ive ever bought and honestly? It was worth the price.

1st mechanical keyboard - Feels really nice for my first mechanical keyboard, like the fact I can swap the switches out. Also like how little space it takes up while still having most the keys

Great edition to add to the ROG family - I’ve been using the ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% wireless keyboard for a while now, and it’s been a great experience! The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it feels. The layout is just right, compact enough to fit in, but still giving you all the keys you need. Plus, the keys are smooth and responsive without being too loud. It’s also lightweight, so it’s easy to move around my setup without feeling cheap. I mainly use it wirelessly, and honestly, I rarely plug it in. The connection has been consistent, and I haven’t had any issues with lag or drop-off. It pairs perfectly with my ASUS TUF Gaming F15 laptop, and the color sync between the two is actually pretty good. The RGB lighting has a lot of customization options, so you can really make it your own depending on your setup. One of my favorite features is the dial. It lights up, and it’s super practical. I use it to adjust volume on the fly and switch between different modes, which feels natural once you get used to it. Overall, it just works the way you want it to without overcomplicating things. It has a clean look, solid performance, and is easy to use daily. I would recommend it. 4.25/5

Custom Feel - I’ve used a lot of gaming keyboards from budget mechanical boards to higher-end and this wireless keyboard sits in the middle refined, customizable, and practical for everyday use. After using it I can say it mostly succeeds, but with a few caveats. Out of the box, the keyboard immediately feels very solid and expensive. The design is clean for a gaming keyboard and not cheesy so can be used as your everyday keyboard. Setup is straightforward whether you go wired or wireless. I tested it across all three connectivity modes—USB-C, 2.4GHz dongle, and Bluetooth—and switching between them is intuitive. Pairing with multiple devices was simple, which is great if you’re using this across a work laptop and a personal PC. The layout is one of the biggest highlights. You get a full number pad and function row, but everything is compressed just enough to save desk space. The ROG switches are smooth, consistent and they don’t feel hollow or scratchy like cheaper linear switches sometimes do. Typing feels controlled and smooth and not overly loud either. Doesn’t have the cheap clacky sound it’s has a, solid tone. Responsiveness is excellent. Key presses register quickly and reliably, and I didn’t notice any issues with missed inputs or lag. Even in wireless mode, performance feels consistent and stable. That’s something I was paying close attention to, and it held up well during longer sessions. The 2.4GHz connection is fast and reliable, making it perfectly suitable for gaming. Bluetooth is convenient for switching to secondary devices, and wired mode is there when you want to charge or ensure zero latency. Battery life is solid. With RGB lighting on, it holds up well for extended use, and turning the lighting down or off stretches it even further. It’s not something you’ll need to constantly worry about charging, which is important for a wireless keyboard. This flexibility is a big plus, especially for users who feel like they’ve outgrown entry-level gaming keyboards but aren’t ready to dive into the complexity of custom builds. RGB & Software The RGB lighting is bright, vibrant, and highly customizable. The effects are smooth, and the lighting is evenly distributed across the keys. ASUS Aura Sync integration makes it easy to match the keyboard with the rest of your setup if you’re already in the ecosystem. The keyboard feels solid overall. If you’re looking for better quality than entry-level gaming keyboards this is a great option.

Very nice looking keyboard that is configurable - I have truly enjoyed using this keyboard. The connectivity options are great. When I'm using it on my work computer, speed and latency aren't so important. When using the keyboard as a gaming device, latency matters. I find that Bluetooth connection is plenty fast for anything that I need to do. The feel of the keys is really nice. There is some clicking feel to the keys, making it feel like an old- fashioned keyboard like what I originally learned on. My accuracy has been spot on while using it, so the keyboard is very accurate. I only need to use a moderate amount of force to type. The height of the keyboard was perfect for me right out of the box. The aesthetics of the device are nothing short of outstanding. It is so impressive seeing the lighting on the top and sides of it. It's especially nice at night. It truly brightens up my desktop. Another unique feature is the compact size, yet it has a full numeric keypad. ASUS provides some swapable mechanical switches for added versatility. Finally, this is also Mac compatible. I didn't have a chance to use it with my Mac, but it's really nice that it supports its functionality.

Full function keyboard in compact wireless frame - This ROG Strix Morph 96% wireless keyboard is awesome. It fits a 96% full form wireless keyboard in a sleek and compact design without leaving out any of the essential features I’ve come to expect from any competitive gaming keyboard. It’s super compact and wireless but packs a punch with its hot swappable ROG NX Snow V2 mechanical switches. This is truly a gaming keyboard designed for esports enthusiasts and competitive gamers who desire the added functionality and portability of a wireless unit. Build Quality and Design: ASUS is quickly becoming my go-to favorite for all things gaming, both complete rigs and peripherals. This keyboard does not disappoint. This keyboard has gaming top of mind and delivers on every level. Design and overall functionality are top tier in my opinion. It’s considered 96% as it is basically a full keyboard with all keys and functions but trimmed down to a slightly smaller size without the dead space around the keyboard to keep it portable and wireless without wasted space. It maintains the numeric keypad to the right, but without the extra spacing between that and the main body, making it more compact and portable but still fully functional. This maintains great functionality for gamers who prefer a smaller footprint but still want the convenience of the numeric keypad and full-function multimedia keys for additional work. Also incorporates a multifunction button and control knob to switch the lighting, control media, and adjust volume on the fly. The frame has a sturdy frame with solid and durable feel while keeping things light and portable. RGB lighting adds a little flare for looks that can be fully customized and keeps the gamer feel and appearance while keeping battery life intact for long gaming and work sessions without sacrificing style and personalization. I also really like the 3-level customizable tilt/lift. It has low, medium, and high tilt depending on how I like to keep my wrists angled during any various situation. Multiple connectivity options including Bluetooth, RF Wireless, or wired USB. The Bluetooth, as always, is my favorite as it is a fast, reliable connection without taking up a USB port on my rig. It also functions flawlessly with the included RF USB dongle. Both with low latency and reliable connectivity from afar, no input lag either way. I love that there is a USB dongle slot on the back of the unit to store the dongle when not in use so it doesn’t get lost in the drawer. Of course this can also connect via the included USB cable for increased life span and productivity if my battery runs low at any point. This is also the charge method which I just plug in anytime I’m not using the keyboard and this has kept my battery going wirelessly whenever I need to disconnect. RGB Lighting: This features fully customizable RGB lighting, allowing me to personalize the lighting effects to match my gaming setup and sync all of my peripherals with that main rig as can be seen in the pictures. The RGB lighting is vibrant and adds a visually appealing aspect to my gaming experience but has a smart timeout that shuts down lighting while the keyboard isn’t in use to maintain battery life. Battery Life: Battery life for this keyboard is excellent and of course varies depending on usage and customized lighting settings. With my average use it typically lasts several days of heavy gaming on a single charge. I typically plug it in between uses so I’ve never had it “die” on me even if I forget to plug it in after several days of use. The tethered USB connection options also continues to work while charging if you run out of juice. Switch Customization: Fantastic feel, hot-swappable mechanical ROG NX Snow V2 switches. These switched provide a pleasant soft/smooth and quiet experience with some tactically feedback without the loud slapping. It comes fully equipped and fully customizable with hot-swappable switches which can easily be changed to replace them and tailor the keyboard to your preferred typing experience. This customization is excellent for gamers who want to experiment with different switch types without buying a whole new keyboard. The keyboard comes with several ROG themed keycaps to further customize and really make the appearance exactly how I like it. Overall, this ROG Strix Morph 96% wireless keyboard has been really great. Fantastic addition to my setup and complete functionality in a compact wireless unit. It’s thoughtfully designed and feature-packed for full functional use for any setting. The customization options, wireless performance, and build quality make it a great choice for competitive gamers who want a versatile and high-performance keyboard for everyday use.

Decent keyboard but warranty falls short - There is an endless sea of gaming keyboards it is getting very hard to tell one from another. Frankly, keyboards in the same price range are all relatively comparable in feature sets so it comes down to build quality, latency, key type, comfort, software and backing of the manufacturer. With that said, Asus has always been in the upper echelon in build quality and performance in keyboards but does fall short in some areas. In review : Build quality – The Strix Morph 96 Wireless is a well-built board, with an aluminum top case in gunmetal gray. The bottom casing is black plastic. The entire package is solid and has very little flex. It is heavy at 2.5 lbs. but that is good thing. I cannot stand all plastic keyboards that move around because they are too light weight. Keys – For me, mechanical keys are the most important aspect of a keyboard. They are the most responsible, hold up the best and provide the best typing experience by far. It brings me back to the old days of IBM keyboards. The Asus ROG Strix has excellent mechanical keys. The travel is excellent and there is little to no latency. As a 96%, the keyboard has all full set number keyboard. For me, the 96% did not feel cramped at all. However, I did notice a difference between a full-size keyboard. It may be more noticeable for other users. Warranty – Asus falls short in the warranty and only offer 1 year. Most of the competition is 3 to 5 years, even on entry level keyboards. At this price range and quality, Asus needs to do a better job on the warranty. Features and accessories – The Strix Morph 96 has a customizable gear knob to control different functions. The default setting automatically adjusts to what you are doing. If you are typing in word or looking at web pages, it will act like a scroll wheel. If you are watching media, it will adjust volume. The Strix Morph 96 includes a Bluetooth dongle, several keys, a key tool and a USB tool. Like most of today’s gaming keyboards, it has a full set of LED lights. The ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% Wireless offers 3 types of connectivity – Bluetooth, wi-fi and hardwired. All worked flawlessly. In conclusion, the overall typing and gaming experience was excellent but not anything special. Personally, I do not care about lights or extensive customization. For those that want customization, there is an online option called Gearlink. ASUS describes it as “A fast, web-based tool that helps you set up and customize your devices. Adjust key functions, lighting effects, and more — all without the need to download, so you're up and running in no time.” Personally, I could not care less nor would I want to give access to my computer if it can be avoided. The biggest disappointment is the 1 year warranty. While it is not deal breaker, the competition offers much better warrantees.

Kick Butt Keyboard - This has proven itself to be one very awesome wireless keyboard. First it's very solidly built and feels like a high quality piece for my computer setup here at home. Typing on it feels rather good with just the right amount of key travel with a satisfying feel. No mushy feeling keys here folks! The built in backlighting is both bright enough and quite colorful that adds to the overall satisfaction this keyboard provides. Battery life is beyond impressive and lasts a rather long time. I've yet to have it dye on me yet. Pairing it to my computer, running Winows11, was effortless and pain free. Range is one outstanding factor for me as I will have often have my computer connected to my living rom TV as an external monitor and sit across hr room on the couch happily gaming away with no issues with the connection to my computer or lag in the input times. It's been impressive so far. Overall I'd have to say this wireless keyboard from Asus has lived up to thr expectations I've come to expect from the company.

Great Keyboard! - I love this keyboard. I would go as far as to say it's among the best ones I have ever used, and I have used many expensive keyboards over the last few years. Firstly, the typing experience is great. It does take a little bit of getting used to if you haven't used a 96% keyboard in a while, but once you get used to it, you love it. I love having a number pad; I know that many people don't like how the arrow keys blend in with the number pad, but to me, it makes perfect sense because I rarely use the middle keys that 100% keyboards come with. Secondly, every key is customizable (screenshot attached of the GUI), and you don't even need to download anything to get that functionality. ASUS has a web app called Gear Link for that. You can adjust everything from the lighting to the power settings to the scroll wheel on the right. The only problem I had with this was that the Companion add-on, which enables extra features like the ability to mute a microphone and the ability to open a website with a single click using the keyboard, would not work on my computer. Overall, I would suggest this keyboard for any use case. It's definitely good for gaming, but it's also great for other things.

A Solid Keyboard with Great Customization Options - For the price, you will receive an excellent, highly customizable gaming keyboard that feels remarkably solid and high quality. After having used the keyboard for a couple of days. I have found plenty of pros and cons. This is my review of the ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% Wireless Gaming Keyboard. *TLDR at the bottom =================================== IN THE BOX/SET-UP: In the box, you get plenty of accessories. You get a 2-in-1 keycap and switch puller, a torx wrench, 1 ctrl keycap, 3 ROG transparent keycaps, a wireless dongle extender, the 2.4GHz wireless dongle(stored on keyboard), a USB-A to USB-C cable, a sticker sheet, and some documentation. Setup is all plug-and-play. I recommend you fully charge the ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% prior to going wireless. The keyboard does support both a wireless receiver (via dongle) and Bluetooth. GearLink, which I will go into more depth on later, is optional, but I highly recommend the web app because all your customizable software features can be completed within it. =================================== BUILD QUALITY/COMFORT: In terms of build quality, the ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% seems to be built extremely well. It is on the heavier side, but it’s a good type of heavy. There is mostly plastic, but the top plate feels like a type of aluminum. The key caps are ABS doubleshot keycaps. The bottom case is plastic too. Yet, the keyboard feels solid. If you let someone blindly test this keyboard, I am confident that they will conclude that this keyboard is a lot more premium. For comfort, there certainly can be some adjustments. Personally, the keyboard tends to sit off the ground a little too much for my liking. I found that adding a wrist pad helps considerably. There are three sitting positions for the keyboard. I found that the most comfortable position was using the small keyboard feet. But your mileage may vary. I have medium-sized hands and come from a low-profile gaming keyboard. It may be a matter of getting used to a taller keyboard, which, honestly, I haven’t yet. But overall, it is a comfortable keyboard. =================================== FEATURES/ASUS GEAR LINK The ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% is packed with plenty of features. First, it's not a full-sized keyboard. As a result, you will be saving some desk space and still be able to use the number pad. Using the software, macros can be programmed, RGB lighting can be customized, and the volume knob isn’t just for volume, but also can be programmed to a custom function. One of the major selling points of this keyboard is the physical customization options. The keycaps are customizable, switches are hot-swappable, the top plate can be removed, and I haven’t done it myself, but the entire keyboard can be disassembled. I had some custom key caps lying around and decided to try them out, and they fit perfectly. This keyboard has plenty of features, but it is missing some notable ones. For example, the keys are not backlit. RGB is limited only to the light bars along both sides and is not per-key. No PBT keycaps, which are more durable than ABS. And overall, a full aluminum body, which typically does come in more premium models, so I cannot complain there. Gear Link is the software that is used to customize the software side of this keyboard. The days of downloading third-party software may be gone soon. Gear Link is a web application that can easily be accessed in a web browser to customize your keyboard settings. I absolutely love this. While it isn’t the most intuitive software (seriously, ASUS, please add some more details on how to configure some of the software settings, e.g., the Fn Combo Key Assignment setting), the UI is clean and organized. Firmware updates can also be installed within here. Overall, once you figure out the software, it is straightforward to use! =================================== GAMING/OFFICE PERFORMANCE: In terms of gaming, the ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96% feels good but not great. But as I mentioned previously, I haven’t quite gotten used to the taller profile of this keyboard and the shorter keycap travel distance. On the bright side, I really enjoyed the speed tap feature. I found it helpful in shooter games like BF6 and games that require quick movement. For example, I’ve been doing some speedruns of the Pragmata demo recently, and the speed tap has saved me so many times. I work in IT and was able to use the keyboard in an office-like setting. I seriously love how comfortable the typing experience is. I also enjoy how quiet the keystrokes are. The programmable macros have been a great addition in assisting me in my workflow. I copy and paste a lot of text and consistently need a certain website open. By customizing some macros, I have been able to complete repetitive tasks more quickly. =================================== CONCLUSION/TLDR: Overall, this is a solid gaming keyboard. At this price point, you will get a gaming keyboard that is highly customizable. Keycaps, switches, and the top plate are all removable. On the software side, there is plenty of customization, too, through Gear Link. While the software is not too intuitive, it is organized, and you’ll learn your way around it eventually. The keyboard is comfortable for the most part, but I did have a hard time adjusting to the taller profile as someone who is coming from a low-profile gaming keyboard. Just keep that in mind. But if you enjoy customizing keyboards and are looking for something budget-friendly and highly customizable, definitely give this one a shot!
