Singapore, March 8, 2018 — ASUS
Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that ROG Strix Flare, a versatile RGB
mechanical gaming keyboard that improves upon a well-established formula with exceptional
performance and unrivalled personalization features, is now available in select
markets.

Superior gaming performance

ROG Strix Flare is currently offered with four
different Cherry MX RGB switch types — red, blue, brown and black —to deliver
the precise mechanical feel and responsiveness demanded by gamers. The keyboard
also features 100% anti-ghosting technology with N-key rollover to ensure all
keystrokes are registered reliably, no matter how many keys are pressed
simultaneously.

Unrivalled personalization

ROG Strix Flare lets gamers experience a new
level of personalization with a customizable illuminated badge that can be
inserted directly into the keyboard. Gamers can keep the pre-installed ROG logo
badge or design their own insignia on the provided blank insert and see it
flare up with Aura RGB lighting. The badge can be easily customized using paint
or printed stickers, or gamers can seek professional printing or laser etching
for a premium touch.

Individually backlit keys are housed in a
dual-textured case displaying the signature ROG slash design, and a row of LEDs
under both sides of the case creates a vibrant underglow that extends the
customizable lighting beyond the keyboard. Powered by Aura Sync, ROG Strix
Flare puts the entire color spectrum and a range of dynamic lighting effects at
gamers’ command, enabling them to create a unique color scheme. All onboard
lighting can be synchronized with the extensive portfolio of Aura Sync-enabled
devices for a truly immersive gaming environment.

Designed for convenience and comfort

While most gaming keyboards place media
controls on the upper-right, ROG Strix Flare features its dedicated media keys
and a smooth-scrolling volume wheel positioned on the upper left. This gives
gamers instant access with their keyboard hand, eliminating the need to take
their finger off the trigger to make adjustments mid-game. The keyboard
also features a handy USB passthrough port for conveniently connecting other
devices and a detachable soft-touch wrist rest for extra comfort.

New ROG Armoury II configuration utility

ROG Strix
Flare comes with ROG Armoury II, an enhanced, driver-based version of ROG’s
peripheral configuration utility that offers improved controls while using less
system resources. ROG Armoury II enables gamers to create profiles, customize
colors and lighting effects, map keys, record macros, and even track hardware
stats during gameplay for data analysis.
