Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate review: My keyboard endgame

There are a lot of ways to trick out your gaming setup, but the Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate goes beyond looks. It's the new benchmark for gaming keyboards.

Hot-swappable keys 8,000Hz polling rate USB passthrough Comfortable pleather wrist rest Beautiful AniMe matrix

Software could be more focused Expensive for a wired keyboard

“The ROG Strix Flare II Animate is the go-to gaming keyboard in 2022.”

Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate Review: Enter the Matrix (of Customization)

Does a DOT Matrix display work on a keyboard?

+ LED dot matrix display ; + Dedicated media keys ; + Aluminum plate ; + Cushiony wrist rest ; + Hot-swap PCB ; + Fantastic media controls

- Stabilizers aren’t anything special ; - Per-key RGB is still frustrating to obtain ; - Clumsy wrist rest installation

The Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate does more than just provide you with high polling rates and bright RGB. You also get to make it your own thanks to its hot-swap capability and customizable LED matrix.

Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate review: a luxurious keyboard that asks way too much of you.

An deluxe keeb with a messy assortment of features

Comfortable typing ; Great performance ; Robust media controls

Bulky design ; LED animation isn't impressive ; Long cable adds clutter ; Expensive

The Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate is a good choice for people who want a premium keyboard but its bulky design coupled with its mish-mash of features results in a messy device.
