ASUS ROG Strix Flare II RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The ASUS XA08 STRIX FLARE II/NXBN/US/PBT is a keyboard built for competitive gaming and everyday comfort. At its core are ROG NX Red switches that deliver a keystroke that feels smooth and linear, firing early so every move registers with minimal delay. The circuit reports at 8000 Hz, sending data to the PC eight thousand times each second for input that feels almost instantaneous.

PBT doubleshot keycaps handle durability. The legends stay sharp and the surface resists the glossy shine that can develop after long practice sessions. Inside the chassis, sound-dampening foam tames the echo that often comes from rapid typing, giving the board a more refined acoustic profile that streamers and teammates will appreciate.

The top edge houses dedicated media controls and a textured volume wheel, letting you adjust playlists or mute quickly without leaving the game. A USB passthrough sits close by, ready for a mouse, headset, or flash drive. When a marathon session begins, the wrist rest attaches magnetically and removes just as easily, adding support without clutter.

Per-key RGB lighting offers deep personalization through Armoury Crate and Aura Sync. You can build subtle single-color themes for work, dramatic reactive effects for a late-night raid, or match the rest of your ROG setup with one click. Profiles save to onboard memory, so your lighting and macros travel with you to tournaments or LAN events.

Whether you chase esports rankings, create content, or simply want hardware that keeps up with fast reflexes, the ROG Strix Flare II provides the responsiveness, build quality, and comfort needed for long, focused sessions.
