ASUS ROG Strix Flare II RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The ASUS XA08 STRIX FLARE II/NXRD/US/PBT is a keyboard with mechanical switches that is built for gamers who refuse to leave performance to chance. It uses ROG NX Red switches, so every press feels linear and swift, giving you the confidence to move, shoot, or cast without hesitation.

The 8000 Hz polling rate sends input to the PC eight times more often than a standard board. That 0.125 millisecond path from finger to screen can decide a clutch round in a fast shooter or tilt a tight MOBA match in your favor.

Keycaps made from PBT with a doubleshot molding process resist shine, keep legends crisp, and reduce wobble during heavy play. Sound-dampening foam inside the frame softens the clack of each press, so late-night practice sessions stay quiet for housemates or stream viewers.

The wrist rest attaches in seconds and adds support during marathon raids or long workdays. Dedicated media controls let you adjust volume, skip tracks, or mute the mic without tabbing out. A USB passthrough port keeps a mouse, headset dongle, or flash drive within easy reach and frees a port on your tower.

Per-key RGB lighting allows you to match system colors, highlight crucial keys, or set a subtle glow for shared spaces. Profiles can store different layouts for home, tournaments, or the office.

The keyboard works with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10, so it fits easily into new builds or existing rigs. Whether you are upgrading from an entry-level board or chasing every competitive edge, the ROG Strix Flare II is ready to keep up.
