Awards

Gold award

This is one of the few keyboards that ended up on my test with two awards!

Golad award

The Asus ROG STRIX FLARE II keyboard was tested by me in the regular version, and there is also an Animate version with animated LED lights on the right top.

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.

  • 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.
