ALMOST-INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE

A high-speed USB microcontroller delivers an 8000 Hz polling rate that refreshes input up to 8X faster than competitor keyboards, reducing delay from 1 millisecond to a mere 0.125 ms.

ROG NX Mechanical Switch

ROG NX mechanical switches with lubricated stem for a smooth click feel, lubricated base housing to eliminate spring bouncing noises, fast actuation and ROG-tuned force curves for great keystroke feel with great keystroke consistency.

  • LINEAR & SWIFT

    ROG NX Red Mechanical Switches provide a 1.8mm actuation point for fast input. Initial actuation force of 40gf helps prevent accidental keystrokes, and it extends to 55gf for perfect rebound feedback. As a result, keystrokes are instantaneous and have a smooth and linear feel.

Hartware Editor's Choice

When gaming and typing, the keyboard does an impeccable job. It is responsive, feels good, and all keys are programmable. You could hardly ask for more performance, whether you are a competitive or casual gamer.

8.8 out of 10

The Asus ROG Strix Flare II is an excellent mechanical keyboard. Its high price is justified by its excellent switches and good typing comfort.

HungryGeeks Approved Award

Playing with the ROG Strix Flare II for quite a long while, I can definitely say its one great gaming keyboard designed to last. The keys are pretty responsive, build quality is stellar, and the extra buttons are god-send. Furthermore, it has a lower price compared to its more bombastic version, the ROG Strix Flare II Animate.

Media Reviews

The Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate is a good choice for people who want a premium keyboard but its bulky design coupled with its mish-mash of features results in a messy device.

SME

A keyboard with a hard-to-remember name meets everything a demanding gamer needs.
