Amazon is now offering the ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $69.99 shipped after clipping the on-page coupon. Normally going for $120, this 42% discount or solid $50 price drop marks a new all-time low price we’ve tracked, beating out the early Cyber Monday deal we saw last year. You’ll find this model comes in the full-sized form factor complete with a numpad and is equipped with ROG Red Optical key switches for linear actuation with no tactile bump for faster response times. One unique feature that I personally haven’t seen on another keyboard is the Instant Privacy key which minimizes all open apps and mutes all audio with a simple key press. The keyboard is topped with an aluminum alloy faceplate to stand up to everyday use while staying stylish in the process. You’ll be able to truly make this keyboard your own thanks to the per-key RGB backlighting which is compatible with Aura Sync. Head below for more.
If you would rather save some cash, you could instead go with the Logitech G413 Carbon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $60. Unlike the keyboard above, the G413 Carbon uses Romer-G key switches that are “purpose-built for pro-grade performance, responsiveness, and durability.” Another difference here is that while the keys are backlit, it is only with red lighting which can have a few different effects applied using the Logitech Gaming Software. This same software allows you to set up custom functions and macros on the function keys.

Connectivity is handled wirelessly over either CORSAIR’s SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS technology or Bluetooth, and you can game without worrying about battery life when you connect your USB cable. On a single charge, you can see up to 32 hours of battery life with RGB lighting.
