ROG Azoth gaming keyboard with 75 keyboard form factor, gasket mount, three-layer dampening foam and metal top cover, highly customizable with hot-swappable pre-lubed ROG NX mechanical switches, ROG keyboard stabilizers, PBT doubleshot keycaps and lube kit, tri-mode connection with 2.4 GHz SpeedNova technology, OLED display, three-way control knob, three tilt angles, and Mac support

Unique gasket mount design: Silicone gasket mount with three layers of dampening foams combine to provide an unrivaled typing experience

Tri-mode connection: Use Bluetooth® to connect and switch between three devices at a time, ROG SpeedNova wireless technology provides up to 2,000+ hours of low-latency gameplay in 2.4 GHz RF wireless mode (OLED & RGB off), or use standard wired USB

OLED display and intuitive controls: View system info and keyboard settings at a glance; built-in three-way knob allows for quick settings adjustment

Hot-swappable ROG NX mechanical switches: Pre-lubed switches for smoother clicks and eliminates bouncing noises respectively; fast actuation and ROG-tuned force curves provide great keystroke feel and consistency

Enhanced typing experience: Pre-lubed keyboard stabilizer produces less friction for smoother keystrokes and stability for longer keys; durable ROG PBT doubleshot keycaps offer a premium feel

Switch lube kit: Bundled essentials including Krytox™ GPL-205-GD0 lubricant to get beginners started on keyboard DIY

 
Looks like they've tried to do a bit of both with it.

Appeal to the keyboard enthusiast with hotswap and gasket mount, foam etc.

Appeal to 'Gamers' with the little OLED screen.

This hybrid fails for a keyboard fan, as for £270 you would expect a full metal body, not just the top plate and atleast a branded switch ( not some inhouse mystery switch ).

The GMMK Pro is a far better deal for a keyboard enthuiast to customise.

And at £270 a tiny OLED addition for the gamer aspect is way too much for a 'gamer' keyboard given the alternatives.

I've gotten the impression lately they're maximising profit by cutting back on quality, but keeping the sky high prices recently.
Click to expand...

Some of their products are solid quality wise but the vast majority of their products are overpriced for what they are, This keyboard for example... it's nearly all cheap plastic, It should not be near £300, £150 ? Maybe, Near 300 ? No one should spend that on mostly plastic.
