The ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless and ROG Falchion RX Low Profile have taken Asus from a third-player in the gaming keyboard biz to one of its leading lights. What's more, they're currently going a little cheaper for October Prime Day.
I've had a look around and found the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless going cheapest over at Amazon. It's $142 for Prime members, or $150 for anyone brave enough to stick it to the man without a subscription (me).

We reckon this is the best gaming keyboard right now thanks to its stellar sound dampening and key feel. It's small and features hot-swappable switches, and these are two features that many PC gamers want these days. It's well worth its full price, so we can certainly recommend it at $20 off.

Newegg has it discounted down to $130, a $40 saving. Plus, no Prime membership required—take that, Amazon, you absolute sponge.

The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is the best low profile gaming keyboard, and we don't hesitate to recommend it at this low price, provided you're looking for a slim board. It has a 60% frame but packs in a 65% layout, meaning you get the arrow keys and some extra keys on the side, too. And while it's a space saver, it doesn't sacrifice on much else, as its ROG RX Low-Profile Optical switches are lovely to type on. It even
