Included foam wrist rest, ROG keycap puller, ROG switch puller PBT double-shot keycaps with shine through Several different variants to choose from, such as Cherry MX Red, Cherry MX Brown, Cherry MX Blue, ROG NX Red Specs – ASUS ROG Strix Flare II Animate Model I’ve gathered all my impressions down below, with the positives and the quirks that you should consider before jumping on this one. It’s also rather pricey, almost in custom keyboard territory ( follow this link to get updated pricing in your region), which can affect its appeal and overall popularity. It’s still a gamer-focused keyboard, which might appeal to non-gamers due to its design, build quality, and comprehensive features. It checks many of the right boxes if you compare it with custom mechanical keyboards: it’s programmable, uses sound-dampening foam for better click sound, comes with hot-swappable switches (if you don’t like the ASUS custom NX Red switches included by default, which are a bit lubed out of the factory), and uses double-shot PBT keycaps which are shine-through, so you can enjoy all that RGB goodness.Īs for the AniMe Matrix implementation, unlike on the ASUS Zephyrus G14 laptop where it has limited practical functionality since it’s on the lid and not visible to the user, on this Strix Flare II Animate keyboard it is visible in the top-right corner and used to display system stats, cool images, animations or notifications on certain keypresses (volume, play/pause, change brightness level and a few others).īut make no mistake, this is not a mechanical keyboard for purists. In a few words, this ASUS ROG Strix Flare II Animate is a sturdily-made keyboard, with a top metal plate and a bottom plastic chassis. ASUS ROG mechanical keyboards are getting better and better over the years, with some of their premium models adding a bunch of unique features that some might consider cool, and others gimmicky.
