Fully Loaded Flare

The ROG Strix Flare II Animate is the ultimate gaming keyboard to fire up your game. It’s fully loaded with a host of innovations, including the customizable AniMe Matrix™ LED display, swappable ROG NX or Cherry MX mechanical switches, PBT doubleshot keycaps, sound-dampening foam, 8000 Hz polling rate, 0.125 ms response time, dedicated media controls and a wrist rest with light diffuser.

Anime Matrix™ Led Display

The ROG Strix Flare II Animate features an AniMe Matrix™ LED display with 312 programmable mini-LEDs that let you show custom images and animations, audio visualizations, system status or settings indicators such as brightness levels and keyboard RGB lighting modes. The display can also be used to indicate laptop battery life, mail notifications, time and date.

Stylish & Ergonomic

The detachable wrist rest has a built-in light diffuser to make it glow when connected to the keyboard.

Intuitive Controls

Metal media control keys are arranged so they’re right at your fingertips, and can be programmed into hotkeys. Turn the scroll wheel to adjust volume or mute audio, and use the knob to reverse or skip tracks, pause or play.

Almost-Instantaneous Response

A high-speed USB microcontroller delivers an 8000 Hz polling rate that refreshes input up to 8X faster than competitor keyboards, reducing delay from 1 millisecond to a mere 0.125 ms.

Rog Nx Mechanical Switch

ROG NX mechanical switches with lubricated stem for a smooth click feel, lubricated base housing to eliminate spring bouncing noises, fast actuation and ROG-tuned force curves for great keystroke feel with great keystroke consistency.

Linear & Swift

ROG NX Red Mechanical Switches provide a 1.8mm actuation point for fast input. Initial actuation force of 40gf helps prevent accidental keystrokes, and it extends to 55gf for perfect rebound feedback. As a result, keystrokes are instantaneous and have a smooth and linear feel.

• Actuation Point: 1.8mm
• Intial Force: 40gf
• Total Force: 55gf

Switch Enhancement

Rog Pbt Doubleshot Keycaps

ROG PBT Doubleshot Keycaps* provide a unique and premium feel, as well as offer long-lasting durability. Key design has been optimized with mid-height keycaps and a shorter stem to reduce key wobble and provide a more comfortable user experience

Swappable Switches

Swap and install your preferred switch type for a unique, customized feel*.

* Even though the switches are hot-swappable, we recommend not to swap the switches when the keyboard is turned on to prevent short circuits.

Rog Switch Stabilizer

A specially tuned, lubricated switch stabilizer greatly reduces keystroke friction, compared to traditional stabilizer mechanisms, giving you smooth and stable keystrokes for longer keys such as the Spacebar, Shift, and Enter keys.

Sound-Dampening Foam

Integrated foam absorbs pinging noises and echoes for improved acoustics.

Aura Sync

With Aura Sync RGB, the entire color spectrum and a range of dynamic lighting effects are at your command. Individually lit keys allow you to create a keyboard that’s uniquely yours.

Armoury Crate

Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting controls. Easily create, define and customize scenario profiles, map keys, and record macros. For ROG Strix Flare II Animate, Armoury Crate also allows you to set custom images and animations, audio visualizations, or system status monitoring.

Onboard Memory

Save up to six profiles, including up to five custom schemes, and use them anytime, anywhere.

100% Anti-ghosting & N-Key Rollover

Every keystroke is registered accurately without miss no matter how fast you play.

Windows Lock Key

Disable the Windows key with a single press for undisturbed gaming.

On-The-Fly Macro Recordings

Record macros on the fly and map them to fully programmable keys

USB Passthrough

USB 2.0 passthrough lets you plug in a mouse or flash drive, or charge mobile devices.
