Claymore is the world’s first RGB mechanical keyboard to have a detachable numpad
design that allows users to use it as a full-size keyboard at home, or as an 80%
TKL (an abbreviation of ‘tenkeyless’, which refers to the lack of a numpad)
mechanical gaming keyboard at LAN parties. The detachable keypad can be placed
to the left or right of the keyboard to suit different scenarios — on the left
side of the keyboard as macro keys for MMO gaming, or on the right for a more
traditional keypad placement. ROG Claymore Core is a compact TKL mechanical
gaming keyboard and does not have a detachable numpad.

Both
keyboards utilize German-made Cherry MX switches (Red, Blue, Brown and Black)
for a responsive feel and up to 50-million-keystroke durability. Anti-ghosting and full N-Key rollover (NKRO)
technology ensure all keystrokes are logged, no matter how many keys are
pressed simultaneously. Each key is individually-backlit and fully
programmable. There is even on-the-fly macro-key recording and nine preset Aura
light effects.
