My issue are with the two other buttons present: a Win Lock button to disable your Windows key and a brightness button. The media controls are great –you have a dial for the volume, a switch to skipping or going back to certain songs, and a Pause/Play button on the side. One problem with the Strix Flare II is the top portion. Features either dampen your overall user experience or just aren't fully fleshed out. However, in practice, it becomes a total mess. Each of its features seem like a good or interesting idea on paper. I found the keyboard to very cumbersome to use. Performance is where the Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate really shines because it's the only aspect of this device that's straightforward. If you're in that group, I recommend the ROG NX Blues.

Neither the Reds or Brown offer that clicky feedback that many people like. I prefer Brown-capped mechanical switches since those tend to be tactile – easier on my hands and, speaking as someone who does a lot of writing, can be a life saver. I do have to say, had I been given the choice, I would actually go for the ROG NX Brown switches. I was able to put my complete trust in these keys knowing my action or skill would come as intended. Thanks to their speed, I managed to break my bad habit of mashing buttons whenever I play Final Fantasy XIV.

The response time is down to a millisecond, allowing me to juke my opponents before they knew what hit them. To give you some concrete examples, I won several games of Valorant, which I chalk up to this keeb.

Plus, the Strix Flare II has anti-ghosting software ensuring the appropriate presses are sent and no phantom presses occur. I expect and appreciate consistency with my keyboards.

You don't have to mash buttons, and as a masher myself, I enjoy not having to do that. A light tap is all you need for the keyboard to register an input. These have an actuation of 2mm and a total travel distance of 4mm. As I said earlier, my review unit came with ROG NX Red switches.
