ASUS is also present at CES 2022 and the manufacturer takes the opportunity to unveil a new product “Animate”, the ROG Strix Flare II keyboard. The whole thing makes it possible to have a fairly unique keyboard in the hands. Explanations.
Lovers of high tech have their eyes on Las Vegas right now. The CEs 20222 indeed gives them the opportunity to discover many new peripherals for PC, like the Strix Flare II Animate keyboard from ASUS. The product in question is distinguished above all by its design and the presence of 312 programmable mini-LEDss. Completely gadget, it remains a rather unique keyboard of its kind.
ASUS wants to make your keyboard unique
Nicknamed AniMe Matrix LED, it is possible to create with this system its own images and animations, or simply display certain information there, such as date and time or battery level for the wireless version. ASUS even specifies that it is possible via the software to make the keyboard react to what is happening on the screen.
Gadget, but not only
Besides the fun aspect of this Mini LED system, the keyboard has very good performance and it thus displays an ultra high frequency of 8000 HZ allowing to offer a response time of … 0.125 ms. A record that is not necessarily useful in most uses, but which will have the merit of making it one of the fastest keyboards from West.
This ASUS keyboard also wants to bluff at the level of its keys PBT plastic with mechanical switches interchangeable on the fly. For those who do not wish to be indisposed by the sound of the keys, they are also equipped with a foam to reduce the sound of pressure. In doing so, we have the right to a “silent” mechanical keyboard. It remains to be seen to what extent, compared to a LOW Profile model, to name a few.
Scheduled for the month of January, the Strix Flare II Animate is still announced at a price of $ 220. We are therefore clearly on a high-end product.
