Compared to Asus' usual crop of PC peripherals, the ROG Strix Flare is a refreshing sight.

The Cherry-switch-based Asus ROG Strix Flare is well-made and has solid gaming and writing chops, but a few software quibbles keep it from joining the pantheon of today's gaming keyboards. When most tech shoppers think of Asus and its gaming sub-brand, Republic of Gamers, they tend to think first of gaming desktops, laptops, and monitors, not input peripherals.
