ASUS ErgoSense Keyboard, Comfortable Typing Experience

Your comfort is our highest priority. That's why the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard has an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum key bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision. Experience the ErgoSense keyboard and you'll soon find yourself cruising effortlessly through your work.

Optimal Click Ratio: Engineered to Perfection

The feel of a keyboard depends on the crucial ratio between the peak force (also known as the actuation force) and the contact force. Peak force occurs when you press down on the key and reach the maximum force that the key's underlying rubber dome can withstand without deflecting. Contact force occurs when the bottom of the key touches the circuit board to trigger an electronic signal, which in turn generates the action appropriate to the key. To achieve the most natural feel for a keyboard, ASUS keyboard experts have scientifically determined that the optimal ergonomic click ratio for a key is between 45-60%. These forces are precisely measured and tuned using the ASUS-designed rubber domes beneath the keys.

ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus

ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus is applied to frequently touched areas of your laptop to help keep it hygienic. This technology uses a denser treatment* that inhibits viruses and bacteria. And it is scientifically shown — using the ISO 21702¹⁰ and 22196¹¹ standards — to inhibit virus and bacteria growth by more than 99% over a 24-hour period¹². Strains used for the tests include the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), H3N2 (Influenza A) and the E. coli bacterium⁴.

* ISO 21702 tests for SARS-CoV-2 Variants (Omicron, BA.5), H3N2, H1N1 and ISO 22196 tests for Staphylococcus and E. coli.

Vivobook 16 takes your privacy and security seriously. There's an integrated privacy shield that slides over the webcam for instant privacy, shielding you from prying eyes and disturbances.

Wide Open for Sharing

Vivobook 16 features a precision-engineered, lay-flat hinge that makes it easy to share content with others, or collaborate with a group of people around a table.

Real-time Webcam Image Optimization

ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) technology and the new webcam effects take your video-calling experience to the next level. 3DNR significantly upgrades the image clarity of the HD webcam, with a unique algorithm that sharpens images and performs real-time de-noising to make sure everything looks crisp and clear during video calls.
