Kinesis Advantage360
Score: 86/100Rankings
The ASUS ROG Azoth is a premium 75% wireless mechanical keyboard featuring gasket-mounted construction, hot-swappable pre-lubed switches and tri-mode connectivity. Its weight and lack of USB pass-through, plus a compact layout without a numeric keypad, may limit portability and full-size functionality. Ideal for gamers and modders seeking low-latency wireless performance.
The Kinesis Advantage360 Professional is a high-end split ergonomic keyboard featuring low-force quiet switches, dual connectivity and open-source firmware. Its premium price and learning curve are notable trade-offs. Ideal for power users and RSI sufferers who value customization and ergonomics above cost.
