Review on ASUS ROG Claymore II ROG RX RED gaming keyboard, black, russian by Wiktor Franko ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

Prior to that, I had been using a Corsair K70 keyboard with Cherry MX Brown for close to a decade. This keyboard has served me well, it is still operational, and it even has a nice appearance; nevertheless, in order to play while seated in front of the television, I required a wireless model. I did not want to bring along an inexpensive device in addition to the one I already had, so I opted for a "all in one" model instead. They have arrived, and they are the Logitech G915, the Razer BlackWidow V3, and the Asus. These are the standard gadgets that are available to us. As a direct consequence of this, this technological wonder from Taiwan emerged victorious. Never once did I regret making the purchase. Once more, operating the keyboard is a delightful experience. It has extremely nice keys and complete functionality, and it finally looks amazing without all of those pseudo-gaming whistles and grunts. It is brilliantly crafted and has the impression of a monolith. I have to admit that to my eyes, the Logitech G915 seems to have an even more appealing appearance; its design is just stunning. According to reviews and reviews, however, she already has a sufficient amount of her inadequacies. Just so you know, the Asus keyboard does NOT have a Bluetooth connection; rather, it only has its own wireless channel or a wired connection. It makes no difference to me in any way, but to other people, it can appear to be quite important. After putting it through its paces for a couple of months, I discovered only a handful of flaws, half of which are not even possible to come across at all with more or less careful handling, and the remaining one is a toad that ought to have been squashed a very long time ago. If you need an uncompromising WIRELESS gaming keyboard and there is a possibility to spend more than two hundred American dollars on it, then this one is absolutely worthy of a closer look.

Pros
  • + This is the top-of-the-line wireless keyboard from a company that is quite well-known in the industry. Therefore, good construction quality, (subjectively) excellent appearance, and a great deal of very nice "chips" + The most obvious of the "chips" is the modularity. The digital block can be eliminated in its entirety, and it can be shifted to the left side of the screen. Plus, there are some innovative super-duper-mega-switches. Although Asus places a significant amount of emphasis in their promotional materials on their response speed, durability, and other advantages, the remarkable innovativeness of Asus' products is not immediately apparent to me. However, it is evident that the switches are very quiet (I have a version with red switches), and there is practically no play on them (yes, even on space and shifts). Even taking into account the high-quality mechanical keyboard that I had been using before, the user experience is still quite satisfying. + You have complete control over the brightness of the backlight, which has a very equal distribution of light and can get pretty intense when turned all the way up. If there are additional components of the system unit that support Asus Aura, then the backlight will be able to be synchronized with all of these components because the software is the same for all of these components. It is not necessary to install multiple software packages because everything is included within a single one. + Programming can be done for each and every key. The battery life is around a week with the backlight on, and this is with the controller being used quite actively (5-6 hours of gaming per day) along with typing. Macros may be recorded on the fly. There was a period of darkness lasting more than two weeks. This satisfies my requirements in every way. By the way, without further ado, the Asus battery was removed from the line of their smartphones (the designation on the battery is CA456080G). + A rest for the wrists as well as plugs for the lateral connections on the magnets. They snap into place with a satisfying click, and the fact that they include a wired USB Type C connection is definitely a benefit. In the year 2022, it would finally be the appropriate moment (hello, Logitek). Now, all that is needed on the table is a single wire, into which one may, for instance, put a telephone. The keyboard comes with two adapters that enable you to connect it to a standard USB, and these adapters are included in the package. + According to the testimonials, the latency is extremely minimal in both the wired and wireless modes.
Cons
  • The disadvantages, as is frequently the case, are a logical extension of the benefits: This keyboard is the most advanced model offered by a well-known manufacturer. This indicates that there is a cost. To put it delicately, let's say. To put it simply, much beyond our expectations. Even though I paid an equivalent of 210 American dollars for it (the recommended price is 270), I still consider that to be a significant amount of money for a keyboard. - The most cutting-edge switches have their very own keycaps that are totally proprietary. Having a certain degree of curvature, it is possible, as is common with us, to break one, lose one, and then think for a considerable amount of time about the issues "Who is to blame" and "What to do." You won't find Cherry MX here, for which the keycaps can be purchased on a well-known trade platform for a few dollars each bag. Furthermore, they have the potential to wear off over time. The magnetic plugs used for the side connections on the keyboard are in no way related to the keyboard itself. Because of this, it is possible for them to be misplaced because their degrees of curvature are all the same and not particularly great. Because of all of this, as well as the price of the item, it needs to be handled with the utmost care at all times. The attached digital block has a slight dangling effect. This is an extremely unanticipated occurrence. It is correct that this only becomes apparent in the event that it is talked (drawn up from the table surface) in a particular manner. This does not present itself in any way, either in one's work or one's games.
