Queue the ROG Strix Flare. After being pissed at how bad my last few keyboards were I definitely didn't want to get another Corsair one. I've been a fan of Asus products for some time, with most of my PC being made out of ROG components and having a Zenfone; so I naturally went to see what Asus had to offer. The Claymore looks really nice, but its quite expensive and doesn't come with a wrist rest (from what I've seen), so I looked for other options. The Cerberus is a membrane board, and isn't RGB; but its cheap. I saw the Flare crop up in Amazon and it looked pretty good. I went and watched a couple reviews for it and was sold. I chose the MX Brown model.
Unboxing the Strix Flare was really nice. The keyboard was wrapped in cloth and, as per usual, the actual box itself was well designed and very simplistic. I went and got the ROG Armoury II software; which has less customization than Corsair's, but the UI is nicer and works far better. The Brown switches were immediately different from the Speed switches. I can rest my hand on the keys without accidentally inputting a bunch of random characters, and the feel of pressing the key is much more responsive thanks to the tactile bump. The heavier actuation force and farther actuation distance makes typing much more enjoyable. I no longer accidentally press wrong or extra keys, and the keycaps feel nicer under my fingers.
The board itself looks more simplistic than the K70, and it feels nicer despite being made out of plastic. The RGB elements are done better imo, and the under-glow on the sides is cool. The media keys are easier to reach because they aren't hidden behind tall keycaps anymore, I would prefer them to be above the numpad, but I think the trade-off is acceptable. The volume nob is larger and feels better when you roll it. There is no volume mute button, which is kind of unfortunate, but at least there's media keys. I don't feel like the Windows lock button is necessary, but I've rarely used them before, so maybe its nice for someone else. Actually having on-the-fly macro recording is nice as well (if it was on the K70 I never knew how to use it). The wrist rest feels nice, despite not being padded. However I think they cut back here, the wrist rest does not seem to actually attach to the board, not even with magnets. I just seems to kinda rest in the grooves cutout for the wrist rest, if you lift the keyboard the wrist rest will fall off.
ROG Armoury II, the software used to control ROG peripherals is really nice. Macros are universal across lighting profiles (I absolutely love this). The Flare has onboard storage, which I expect at this pricepoint, and is nice (no more mismatched RGB while booting up). This also means I don't have to install software and copy files over to a DVD or USB drive just to use the keyboard on my laptop, or another PC. The Flare also has built in profile switching buttons (thank you) and you don't have to unplug the keyboard to factory reset (also a nice touch, I think).
There are probably better keyboards for less, but I prefer Asus products and I don't think it was money poorly spent. I'm loving this keyboard and I highly recommend it for those who like MX Brown (or similar) switches and want a nice, high quality RGB mechanical keyboard.
PROS
- Absolutely adorable and matches my set up well
- Key feedback is satisfying, picks up great
- Pass through port for my mouse helps declutter my desk and ease for docking as I use a laptop
- Volume dial - I don't know how I lived without something like this before, it has been fantastic to have
- Light customization is extensive and I was able to pick a good setting for myself
- Hand rest has been wonderful compared to old keyboard that didn't have one
- Great for typing as my job requires tons and tons of that
CONS
- The wires are very thick and harder to bend so organizing them on my desk was a bit of a hassle compared to other wires
- My hand gets much more fatigued when I play games and use WASD - I didn't have this issue as much with the blue keys, but did have more pain from typing with the blues so I find it to be a trade off
I've owned this keyboard for a little while now (first phase of my new computer set up). In the time that I've had it, I only have one major complaint about it, and it's not even the keyboard itself. It's the software. Asus Armory is a little finicky and a lot of the times bugs out, but I'm not letting that sway my opinion on the keyboard since it has presets that work just fine (so you can avoid the more convoluted software and color customization if you don't feel like fighting with it) .
I'll start with the overall quality of the keyboard. It's sturdy, doesn't flex at all (unless you want to practice your chest compressions on it). The fact the the border keys are the lighter pink while the inside is a grey color is very nice for the main reason of cleanliness. The pink gets filthy, even with regular cleaning and wiping down. It's a light color, so what else is there to expect? The Matching mouse mat also gets rather dirty, but weekly washing makes that better.
The extent of customization for the back lighting is amazing. I tend to have fun with the custom colors and I even have specific WASD profiles for different games. The bar for volume (or would it be a dial?) is lovely for small adjustments. I wish there was a separate mute button instead of pressing on the dial, but that's just a small personal issue.
The wrap this up, because this was my first purchase towards my entire new set up [roughly a $3.2k computer], I am beyond ecstatic to say I've been purchasing more Asus products. The quality is great, customer service fantastic, and I can customize and personalize to my heart's content. Thank you, Asus <3

Reviewed in Mexico on December 22, 2021
After almost 2 month, here is my ''fair share'' of pros and cons
Pros :
- I have a hard time to get back to a normal keyboard, meaning I really like those switches
- Decent look, doesn't look too childish (sometimes gamer stuff is aweful)
- Amazer by the number of customization you can do, even if this doesn't pply to me, it's nice
- You understood I'm not rainbow-led-type-of-guy, but I like the illuminated logo and side leds, they are always on.
- USB passthrough and wrist rest was a must for me
- Quality is pretty decent overall (packaging, wire, etc).
Cons :
- I really paid 200$ for a keyboard right ?
- You can have a really hard time deleting on-the-fly macros if you accidently do something wrong
- Sure wires are great quality, but oh boy they doesn't flex like you'd want. For a laptop it's kind of akward, I need to route the wire out of the desk, then back at the laptop, but let's be honest, this was made for desktop users so it's kind of okay.
Happy gaming / typing !
Yo esperaba que tuviera ese click super molesto que tienen algunos teclados mecánicos pero estos switches son más silenciosos y se agradece mucho, en especial en esas largas sesiones de teclear/jugar.
Los botones multimedia son muy cómodos, la rueda del volúmen es lo mejor.
Yo me animé por este teclado porque tengo una placa Asus y quería aprovechar Aura Sync, lo cual me sorprendió ya que brilla muy bonito el teclado, se nota que los leds son de muy buena calidad.
El único problema que le encontré fue que el reposamuñecas es de plástico y por este precio uno esperaría un reposamuñecas con algún tipo de cojín para disminuir la presión que se ejerce sobre la muñeca.
