The keyboard comes with NX key switches, offered in two types: NX Snow and NX Storm. This review will focus on the NX Snow switches. These switches are pre-lubricated and fine-tuned to provide a smooth typing feel, with a 1.8mm actuation point and a 45-gram operating force. The NX Snow switches are responsive and tactile, similar to Razer Orange Tactile switches, and integrate well with the keyboard’s overall design, providing a deep and satisfying press.

The Azoth Extreme uses a gasket mount design, which includes three layers of sound-damping materials: two layers of Poron foam and a silicone pad. It also features a carbon fiber plate that enhances the typing feel by offering crisp feedback and effective shock absorption.

The stabilizers, especially for the spacebar, have been improved to minimize rattling and reduce unwanted noise, common issues in mechanical keyboards. The keyboard is equipped with double-shot PBT keycaps that have curved, textured tops and are shorter than typical gaming keyboard keys. These keycaps give a comfortable and upscale feel, especially compared to the original Azoth model.

For connectivity, the Azoth Extreme supports Bluetooth, USB-C, and 2.4 GHz wireless options. The 2.4 GHz connection provides an 8,000Hz polling rate, which should meet the needs of most users.

It can also connect to three devices at once and has an impressive battery life of up to 1,600 hours when RGB lighting and the OLED screen are off. The RGB backlighting is customizable via the Armoury Crate software, though setting up this software might be a bit complex.

The keyboard package includes a silicone wrist rest and magnetic feet. Unlike its predecessor, it doesn't come with a DIY lubing station but instead includes a wrist rest, which is more practical for most users.

The customization tools provided are a keycap puller, a switch puller for hot-swapping, extra switches, and silicone pins for modifications. Connectivity accessories include a 6.5-foot braided USB-C to USB-A cable, a USB extender, and Asus' ROG Polling Rate Booster, as well as the 2.4GHz USB-A dongle
