ASUS ROG has recently teased their upcoming ROG keyboard switches in a post captioned "Who's ready to switch up their gaming?!" with a picture of the upcoming switch. ASUS is holding a virtual launch event on September 1st where the switches will be officially announced along with a wide range of new ASUS products. This event will likely explain the rationale behind the development of these switches and their advantages compared to traditional Cherry MX switches. These switches feature the ROG eye logo indicating these will only be used in ROG branded keyboards.

Features... they picked up a Cherry MX switch, and added a ROG eye logo.

There, no need to go to launch event.

Looks a little like Kailh Box switch.

I can't see contacts. I think these could be optical switches. If so, count me in!
