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.

  • 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.
