ASUS TUF Gaming K1 RGB keyboard with dedicated volume knob, spill-resistance, side light bar and Armoury Crate, UK Layout

After my W key started not working properly on my current laptop I decided to buy a mechanical keyboard since everyone insists they're the best for gaming. I wasn't sure what to get but saw this one and it seemed to tick all the boxes, actually has almost all the buttons of a full keyboard, it's wireless but can be used via cable and doesn't make some god awful 500 decibel click sound every time you type. Overall I would say its a good keyboard, I feel like there are probably "better" keyboards for the same price or lower from some random specific company that you've never heard of but I think if you want to buy from a trusted main gaming brand / manufacturer like ASUS then this is pretty good for how much it is and what you get. the keyboard at times feels a bit tall and odd to use but that's more likely the muscle memory from spending my entire life using very flat and short laptop keyboard, The RGB is good with alot of settings / options . And the software "armoury" to update / change settings on the keyboard actually works without hogging resources in the background and any issues for me which was something I was very worried about because I literally had to throw away a razer mouse because it just refused to connect / be recognised by razer's god awful software. The handrest that comes with the keyboard is solid and magnetically attaches to the keyboard so it wont just slip off while your playing a game which is nice. My only real issue with the keyboard is that the asus rog logo special key in the top right seems to do something totally random every time i press it and i have no idea what or how it works so It would be nice if instead of that there was a dedicated pause / skip / back media button trio next to the knob which could then be used for volume or something else.

Always wanted a top quality keyboard like the ASAUS Rog Azoth and was not disappointed. Typing on this keyboard feels is a dream and the low-profile RX switches are very smooth, with just the right amount of resistance to keep things pleasant whilst typing.. The sound is also spot on and not to loud, so it’s great for both work and gaming. The compact 75% layout was perfect for me without losing essential keys. Plus, the build quality is excellent and the wireless connection perfect with no issues.. so if used for desktop work or gaming this keyboard is first class, Highly recommend!

Used for almost a month now and loving the experience. The keyboard feels great to use and its compact size means its fits on my desk nicely with no cable clutter. Very responsive and good connectivity with support for 3 bluetooth devices plus ROG wireless and a wired connection. Battery life is also good, have not needed to charge yet this month. Only downsides would be the lack of lighting for secondary buttons (ie symbols) which can be hard to see when its dark and the armoury crate software for customising RGB and checking battery life. Overall would reccomend.

I’ve been using this keyboard for over a year now, and it’s easily the best low-profile mechanical keyboard I’ve owned. Typing feels smooth and fast, and the noise level is pleasantly low. The adjustable angled design makes it comfortable for long sessions, and it works perfectly with both Mac and Windows. The keys feel premium and responsive — great for gaming thanks to the quick actuation, though it can take a bit of getting used to for typing as the keys register very fast. The RGB lighting and function key shortcuts offer tons of customization options. The only downside is the software — it’s quite complex and not very beginner-friendly. The side touch bar also feels more like a gimmick than a useful feature. Overall, it’s an excellent keyboard for the price — durable, stylish, and great value for money.

This is exactly what I was looking for! A compact keyboard but with no missing functionality. The build quality is insanely good for a keyboard from a major company - very sturdy and feels solid. These new switches are smooth and sound fantastic. The quality of the keycaps are great (the extra spacebar you get with the ASUS design on it is ABS and doesn't quite match the rest of the keycaps but it does look nice with the backlighting). The pre-installed lighting functions are decent and varied, honestly don't really need to bother with the software which is nice as I don't like having stuff like that running in the background. Only (minor) gripe I have is that it's just taking me some time to get used to the layout but that's something I'll get used to quickly enough! I managed to get one for just over £100 which is a steal honestly, but even at £170 or whatever it normally costs, I'd say it's worth it if this 96% compact layout is something you've been looking for.

With a heavy heart, I write this review. First things first, I LOVE this keyboard. The feel and design are beautiful, and after years of searching for a sub-£400 wireless keyboard, I came across this and thought I’d treat myself. Regrettably, after only 5 months, it has suddenly developed a fault where it switches off and on every 3-5 seconds, rendering it unusable. As it is beyond Amazon's 30-day return policy, I had to contact ASUS directly, which turned into a disaster. Days went by without responses, and I was continuously looped through different departments and self-help pages on their website. As I say, this is a fantastic keyboard with some of the nicest switches in a prebuilt I have used, but the aftercare is massively disappointing!

I bought this to go with an Asus gaming mouse...and wasn't disappointed. It is excellent quality and the LED lighting colour isn't overly bright or overwhelming. I am sure there will be cheaper options out there but I have found Asus to be quality items. This keyboard feels solid, the keys move smoothly and don't feel clunky and the volume control is good...used with a Windows 11 pro PC. Excellent value for an excellent gaming keyboard.

I ordered this keyboard for its tri mode connectivity as i wanted a keyboard that could switch between my xbox series x and pc without having to get up and move dongles. This was achieved by using bluetooth on the pc and using the rf adapter on the Xbox and then using the switch on the keyboard to switch between modes. I am a fast typer and i don't find this keyboard to be a problem when keeping up and the reponse times are really fast even using BT. The keyboard feels heavy and sturdy which is what i like as it feels like a solid product, i got the clicky keys so the noise level is what id expect but the keys can be changed to suite your needs. The built in application within armory crate has all the functionality needed to customise the keyboard to your taste including a macro section. The keyboard is also great value for money especially when it compered to the feel and look of the keyboard. the ARGB lights are really bright but can be adjusted, its especially helpful in dim lighting scenarios. As mentioned the response times are fast and it has a lot of functionality going for it.
