FAQs

What type of mechanical switches does the ASUS ROG AZOTH Compact use?

The keyboard comes with pre-lubed ROG NX Snow mechanical switches, which are refined linear switches. The switches are hot-swappable, allowing you to replace them with other compatible switches if desired.

How long does the battery last in wireless mode?

With ROG SpeedNova wireless technology (2.4 GHz RF mode), it offers up to 2,000+ hours of gameplay with the OLED display and RGB lighting turned off. Battery life will be significantly reduced when the OLED and RGB are active.

Can I use this keyboard with a Mac?

Yes, the ASUS ROG AZOTH Compact supports macOS. There is a dedicated macOS mode that can be toggled on the keyboard to ensure proper key mapping.

What is the benefit of the gasket mount design?

The silicone gasket mount design, combined with three layers of dampening foams, provides a more cushioned, flexible, and quieter typing feel compared to traditional rigid mounts. It helps absorb shock and reduce vibration.

What is included in the switch lube kit?

The bundled DIY switch lube kit typically includes essential tools such as a switch opener, keycap puller, switch puller, lube station, brush, and a bottle of Krytox™ GPL-205-GD0 lubricant for users who want to customize their switches.

How do I adjust the keyboard's tilt angle?

The keyboard includes two pairs of feet of different heights, allowing you to set up to three different tilt positions for personalized ergonomic comfort.

What is the purpose of the OLED display?

The 2-inch OLED display can show keyboard status like Caps Lock, connection mode, PC/Mac mode, battery level, multimedia information, custom animations, and system parameters such as CPU temperature. It also works with a three-way control knob for intuitive settings adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not detected by PC (wired)

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the PC. Try a different USB port on your computer. Test with another USB cable if possible.

Wireless connection is unstable or has high latency

For 2.4 GHz RF, ensure the USB receiver is close to the keyboard and free from interference. For Bluetooth, ensure the device is within range and try re-pairing. Consider turning off the OLED display and RGB lighting to conserve power and potentially improve connection stability.

Specific keys are not working

Check if the key is physically obstructed. If you have hot-swappable switches, carefully remove the non-functional keycap and switch, then reinsert the switch or replace it with a new one.

OLED display is blank or not functioning

Check the keyboard's power status and battery level. Ensure the OLED display is enabled within the Armoury Crate software. Restart the keyboard and your PC.

Armoury Crate software not recognizing the keyboard

Ensure you have the latest version of Armoury Crate installed. Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. Try restarting the Armoury Crate service or reinstalling the software.

  • Connectivity: Supports USB, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz RF wireless.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean the keyboard exterior and keycaps. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the keyboard. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
