I'm fascinated by the price. Can anyone chime in on why this is better than other $150-200 gaming keyboards?

Seems like an absurd price for a keyboard. I'm offended by the price

13 minute review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLomcoNLcOY

Here's the youtube breakdown of it, but recommend watching the video.

Initial Impressions & Pricing (0:45-1:20): The reviewer acknowledges some improvements from ASUS while also highlighting areas where they might have fallen short. The ROG Azoth X is noted for being incredibly similar to previous models, with a few important differences. The reviewer questions who would pay almost $300 (1:22) for the keyboard.
Unboxing & Accessories (2:06-2:53): The unboxing experience is described as relatively plain compared to the more expensive AOTH Extreme (2:07). It includes manuals, a USBC cable (2:31), and a wrist rest (2:47), which the reviewer is not a fan of.
Switches (2:53-3:14): The keyboard features ROG NX Snow 2.0 switches (2:56), which are an improvement over the 1.0 version.
Gaming Keyboard Aesthetics & Functionality (3:15-4:05): The reviewer explains that gaming keyboards often trick gamers into spending a lot of money (3:21). He notes that while some aspects haven't changed (high price), gaming keyboards have generally improved.
Design & Build Quality (4:07-5:11): The keyboard's aesthetics are divisive, but the reviewer finds it beautiful with its two-tone keycaps (4:24). It's a 75% keyboard (4:31) with an aluminum top plate (4:44) and a plastic back (4:49). It excels in wireless performance (4:55) and features RGB lighting (4:57).
Screen & Knob (5:12-5:31): A screen and knob on the top right (5:13) are handy for adjusting brightness, RGB mode, and volume.
Price Concerns (5:32-5:55): The keyboard's price, around $300 (5:38), is considered unbelievably expensive compared to competitors.
Keycaps & Aesthetics (5:57-6:49): The keycaps are praised for their unique aesthetic, with a shine-through pudding design and Dye-sub PBT (6:12). However, the reviewer suggests toning down the "Join the Republic" branding. The price difference from the original ASUS Azoth (6:35) is also highlighted, with the original being $200 (6:40) and already considered overpriced.
Gasket Mount & Material (6:50-7:28): The gasket performance is almost non-existent (6:58), and the back is plastic (7:06), unlike the ROG AOTH Extreme. This is a point of confusion for the reviewer, as similar keyboards with full aluminum construction can be found for around $80 (7:21).
South-Facing LEDs & Finish Issues (7:29-8:58): The keyboard features south-facing LEDs (7:40), a feature that was requested by the keyboard community but is now somewhat insignificant. A glaring issue is the keyboard's finish, which scratches easily (8:00), making it unacceptable for its price point. While the scratches can be wiped off with a magic eraser (8:36), it leaves permanent marks.
Switches & Gaming Performance (8:59-9:57): The NX 2.0 switches (9:06) are the best ASUS has made, offering smoothness and responsiveness. However, they are not Hall effect switches (9:27), which the reviewer finds odd given ASUS's existing Hall effect switches.
Wireless Performance & Software (10:15-12:15): The keyboard boasts excellent wireless performance (10:16) with Speed Nova technology (10:24), allowing seamless swapping between three devices (10:31). ASUS also included "speed tap mode" (10:50), which is essentially a software cheat for games. A significant improvement is Gear Link (11:29), a web app for keyboard customization that eliminates the need for clunky software like Armory Crate (11:35).
Conclusion (12:17-12:59): The reviewer concludes that the keyboard is a terrible option for those on a budget (12:30) due to its high price. However, for those who like the aesthetic and ASUS branding, it's a unique product due to its specific keycaps and branding (12:44).
