The main difference between the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 RX Wireless and the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 lies in the built-in switches and connectivity. The RX Wireless uses optical ROG RX Red switches with fast actuation and offers tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz ROG SpeedNova Wireless and wired USB-C), while the Scope II 96 is equipped with mechanical ROG NX Snow switches and also offers wireless connectivity via 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, but does not use optical switches.
Other differences are:
- The RX Wireless supports the ROG Polling Rate Booster at up to 8000 Hz for a smoother gaming experience.
- The RX Wireless has additional features such as streaming hotkeys, multifunctional controls, three tilt angles and a detachable wrist rest.
- The RX Wireless uses PBT Doubleshot keycaps, which are particularly hard-wearing.
- The Scope II 96 Wireless is available in black with ROG NX Snow Switches, the RX Wireless is also available in white with optical RX Switches.
To summarise, the RX Wireless is the more modern version with optical switches, extended functions and a higher polling rate, while the Scope II 96 Wireless is the classic mechanical version with ROG NX Snow Switches.
