Rgb Issue Rog Strix Scope Ii 96 Keyboard

  • Design, Lighting & Controls-1 pts

    For now I was able to set the lights to a single static color in Armory Crate, but I'd like to have per-key control.

Akko Fun60 Ultra Vs Asus Rog Strix Scope Ii 96

  • Typing Feel & Switches+1 pts

    I'm stuck choosing between two very different keyboards. On one side, there's the Akko Fun60 Ultra, a magnetic Hall Effect keyboard that's clearly fantastic for gaming with rapid trigger and adjustable actuation, making it very tempting from a performance perspective. On the other side, there's a premium mechanical keyboard like the ROG Strix Scope II 96. It doesn't have magnetic switches, but it feels more premium and I believe I would genuinely enjoy typing on it, not just gaming. Even for writing or everyday use, it seems more satisfying. So my dilemma is pure performance and competitive gaming features versus typing feel, build quality, and overall enjoyment. Gaming matters to me, but so does enjoying the keyboard while typing. Which one would you pick and why?
