A vital part of any gamer’s arsenal is a good gaming keyboard. Asus announced two new gaming keyboards at CES 2022, ROG Strix Flare II Animate and Strix Flare II.

The Strix Flare Animate II delivers near instantaneous response. It features 8000 Hz polling rate providing a 0.125 ms response time. It’s equipped with swappable mechanical switches for all keys to allow users to change and install their preferred switch type for a customized feel. There’s also built-in sound-dampening foam to reduce pinging for better typing acoustics. Lastly, the Strix Flare Animate II includes a USB passthrough port for a convenient connection to other devices.
