The Asus ROG Ally is one of the most powerful handheld PCs currently available. But unlike the Steam Deck, there isn’t as robust of an accessory ecosystem for buyers. This makes sense, considering the Asus handheld has been available for less than a year, and has a significantly higher price point than Valve’s handheld.
ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Review
11.08.2023 - 19:13 / mmorpg.com / Asus Rog
ASUS raised the bar with the Azoth and has done it again. The ROG Strix Scope II 96 is a compact full-size mechanical keyboard with typing and gaming chops to spare. Built with brand new, pre-lubed mechanical switches, layers of sound dampening, high-speed wireless connectivity with mind-blowing battery life, and more, this is one of the best gaming keyboards available today.
The ROG Strix Scope II 96 is a top-of-the-line yet reasonably priced flagship gaming keyboard. Retailing for $180, this keyboard offers build quality, features, and responsiveness that puts it toe-to-toe with any other gaming keyboard on the market and, in my opinion, beats nearly all of them. It doesn’t have optical or analog switches, so it won’t allow you to adjust your actuation point or anything like that, but what it does offer is one of the best typing and gaming experiences you’ll find in a mechanical keyboard and absolutely next-level battery life over wireless.
The keyboard uses a compact full-size layout known as 96-percent. It features most of the keys you’ll find on full, 104-key keyboard but shifts the arrow keys and navigation and editing cluster to move everything closer together. The missing keys are all available as secondary functions accessible by holding the Fn button, but unless you’re really dying for Scroll Lock and Pause, you’ll really only need to do this for Home, End, and Print Screen — though Home and End become physical buttons just by turning off Num Lock, so even that’s not quite true. The layout has a slight learning curve (the “0” on the number pad and the right shift keys are both shorter), but it’s quite reasonable, especially if you need the Num Pad for work or to use as an in-game macro pad.
The keyboard is built like a tank. It features a metal top plate with a floating key design that exposes the switch housings below and a plastic case. It’s heavy too, weighing in at 2.23 pounds without the palm rest attached. The top plate is matte, gunmetal grey to avoid fingerprints while the bottom features slashes of glossy plastic for a bit of hidden flair (also small enough to avoid fingerprints).
The keycaps are equally high quality. They’re made of thick PBT plastic and have a slightly grainy texture. Unlike ABS, the most common plastic used for keycaps, PBT is denser and more resistant to finger oils. Combined with the texturing, it is very resistant to smudging and won’t shine over time. The keycaps also use doubleshot translucent legends and display the RGB very well.
The keyboard also comes with a removable palm rest for added comfort. It snaps into place using strong magnets and short of picking the keyboard high off the desk, it stays in place well. You can even pick the keyboard up to

Fort Solis Review (PS5) | Push Square
There is something calming about a clichéd sci-fi horror, isn’t there? Abandoned space stations, eerie corridors, and the endless possibilities of danger make up a genre that has successfully infiltrated just about every format of entertainment. Fort Solis is just the latest, bringing with it a subdued sci-fi tale, voice acting royalty in the form of Roger Clark (Red Dead Redemption 2) and Troy Baker (The Last of Us), and a gameplay experience that is in parts enthralling and others excruciatingly tedious.

Dead or Alive, You Should Watch This RoboCop: Rogue City PS5 Trailer | Push Square
Terminator: Resistance attracted a small but dedicated audience when it launched initially on PS4 and later on PS5 a few years ago, and now developer Teyon is back with another movie license tie-in. RoboCop: Rogue City is unlikely to be the highest budget first-person shooter to release on Sony’s new-gen console, but we do think this gameplay trailer shows promise.

RoboCop: Rogue City Promises Big Ideas, But Can it Deliver? | Gamescom 2023
There’s a moment in RoboCop: Rogue City where the future of law enforcement gets to show a little of the man behind the mask. He corners a reporter he’s been tracking, who reveals she has intel that could indict OCP, the evil megacorp who made RoboCop in the first place. She broke into OCP HQ to get that info, so technically she broke the law. But she had to do it to get what she needed. So RoboCop has a choice to make: he can detain her, an act that will ensure that the OCP-run cops will seize the evidence and destroy it, covering up the company’s crimes. Or he can show his human side and let the journalist go, allowing her to continue gathering evidence. It’s a tough call.
