Pictures have this week been released for the new ASUS ROG Claymore gaming keyboard which will soon be available to purchase. Although at the current time ASUS has not released any worldwide availability dates or pricing as yet.
The ASUS ROG Claymore will become ASUS’s flagship gaming keyboard and is equipped with an RGB LED lighting system integrated into a mechanical keyboard, that features a detachable number pad.
Innovative Design and Features
The detachable number pad allows users to enjoy additional USB 3.0 port together with the ability to use a vertical multi-function scroll-wheel, which is set to control the volume by default but can easily be changed to suit your needs. This modular design is particularly beneficial for gamers who prefer a compact keyboard layout for more desk space or those who need the number pad for data entry and other functions. The flexibility of the detachable number pad means it can be attached to either side of the keyboard, catering to both left-handed and right-handed users.
Moreover, the RGB LED lighting system is fully customizable, allowing users to personalize their gaming experience with a spectrum of colors and effects. The lighting can be synchronized with other ASUS Aura Sync compatible devices, creating a cohesive and immersive gaming environment. This feature is not only visually appealing but also functional, as it can be used to highlight specific keys for different games or applications.
Performance and Customization
The ASUS ROG Claymore is built with Cherry MX RGB switches, known for their durability and responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for both gaming and typing. These switches provide tactile feedback and a satisfying click, ensuring precise and accurate keystrokes. The keyboard also supports N-key rollover and anti-ghosting, which means that multiple keys can be pressed simultaneously without any missed inputs, a crucial feature for fast-paced gaming.
In addition to its hardware features, the ASUS ROG Claymore comes with software that allows for extensive customization. Users can create and save multiple profiles, each with its own set of macros, key bindings, and lighting effects. This is particularly useful for gamers who play a variety of games, as they can switch between profiles quickly and easily. The software also includes a gaming mode that disables the Windows key to prevent accidental interruptions during gameplay.
Another notable feature is the keyboard’s ability to sync with ASUS ROG motherboards. This integration allows for additional functionality, such as controlling the motherboard’s fan speeds and monitoring system temperatures directly from the keyboard. This level of integration is a testament to ASUS’s commitment to providing a seamless and enhanced gaming experience.
As soon as more specifications and worldwide availability and pricing are announced by ASUS we will keep you up-to-date as always.
