ROG PBT DOUBLESHOT KEYCAPS
ROG PBT Doubleshot Keycaps* provide a unique and premium feel, as well as offer long-lasting durability. Key design has been optimized with mid-height keycaps and a shorter stem to reduce key wobble and provide a more comfortable user experience.
* Keycap material may vary by region. -
SWAPPABLE SWITCHES
Swap and install your preferred switch type for a unique, customized feel*.
* Even though the switches are hot-swappable, we recommend not to swap the switches when the keyboard is turned on to prevent short circuits. -
ROG SWITCH STABILIZER
A specially tuned switch stabilizer greatly reduces keystroke friction, compared to traditional stabilizer mechanisms, giving you smooth and stable keystrokes for longer keys such as the Spacebar, Shift, and Enter keys.

SOUND-DAMPENING FOAM
Integrated foam absorbs pinging noises and echoes for improved acoustics.

A marriage between mass appeal features (RGB and LED display) and modder basics (hot swappable switches) the Rog Strix Flare II Animate does a good job of satisfying both crowds.

Review Gaming Keyboard with ROG NX
Review ROG Strix Flare II Animate moving lights! Custom can remove the switch! Gaming Keyboard of the Year 2022
In gaming it is obviously very good, the switches are very good and perfect for this area. Normally I prefer smaller keyboards because I need a lot of space on my workstation but I really liked its design and ergonomics. Spectacular switches, the animated animation is very nice and makes a nice impression on the keyboard. For writing spectacular. The price is not exaggerated for all the functions it offers.
These keys with a response time of 0.125 MS can be one of the sought-after features in competitive arenas. The sense of quality in our user experience was also at a high level. The responsiveness of the keyboard was really good, thanks to the wrist support, it minimizes the pressure on your wrist in long-term use.
It's pretty good in terms of design, I have nothing to say about its performance anyway.
PBT keycaps, hotswap, stylish design, lubricated switches, lubricated stabilizers and noise-absorbing foam. These are all signs of a good keyboard in 2022. However, ROG went further. They added a screen and an 8000Hz refresh rate to their keyboard
ROG Strix Flare II Animate is a good mechanical keyboard with many different features. It combines a stylish design, high response speed and convenient management of multimedia functions. It will easily become an indispensable accessory for any gamer.
Very high quality stabilizers, LEDs in the corner, multimedia buttons and scroll wheel - that's what I would want in every keyboard. I liked the Claymore a bit more, but the price point is more for the connoisseur. I liked the ROG Strix Scope RX the most, which also has water spill resistance and again, solid stabilizers and very good workmanship as well as a price to match.
I tested a high-end keyboard from ASUS. It's the ROG STRIX Flare II Animate high profile wired gaming keyboard designed for precision gaming.

At the end, a top-notch keyboard that has our warm recommendation.
103 / 5.000 Резултати превода This is one of the few keyboards that ended up with two awards from my test! See why
As such, the ROG Strix Flare II Animate keyboard earned AX Advanced as well as AX Diamond recognition.
The wrist rest comes with the keyboard, is easily detachable and is of great importance, especially during long-term use of the keyboard.
