amazon ASUS ROG Claymore reviews

Founded in 2006, the Republic of Gamer, or ROG, was formed as a member of ASUS, with the mainstream being its own high end gaming products. ROG products include computer components, computer sets, laptops, and many other peripherals. ROG products are typically aimed at the high-end segment, with a very eye catching design, and optimized for power. To increase their influence, ROG also sponsors major tournaments, as well as opening their own tournament, the ROG Masters.

Open the box.

The front of the box is compliant with the ASUS product packaging standard, with the main image of the product centered in the box, and the prominent features in the upper left. The back of the box is the basic characteristics of the product. Detailed specifications are printed on the left side of the box.

The first impression when opening box is that the keyboard is designed modular, each section is wrapped by velvet bag feeling very luxurious. Besides, there is no need for documentation such as manuals, ROG logo stickers, and removable USB cables.

The design of this keyboard makes people imagine spaceships. On the surface is very eye-catching and impressed with the design pattern inspired by the ancient Maya.

The Claymore Core is made of metal, and it is higher than most of the mechanical keyboards available on the market. The lower part of the keyboard is the ROG logo and can be seen as the palm of the keyboard, our personal opinion is to buy a transparent palm rest, the use of This keyboard will be easier and more aesthetically pleasing. The addition of additional function keys, such as LEDs, is incorporated into some of the keys in the bottom row, which adds additional keys, but keeps the design neat.

The keyboard is firmly fixed against slip by three solid rubber pads on the bottom, in addition to two extra sliders on the keyboard leg. Users will also find a Micro-USB plug in the bottom of the product, which is designed to ensure that the USB cable is pulled out unexpectedly. The bottom of the cable trays, to help save space for users like neat.

The Numpad is modularly designed to plug into the Core, and the manufacturer provides us with rubber covers that cover the ports in case we do not use the numpad. In addition, it has a very large volume control roller at the top.

Metal design makes the modules when connected together very firmly. When the Numpad connects to the right side of the Core, it functions as the normal Numpad, while when it is connected to the left, it becomes the Macro. These keys can be easily adjusted through the ASUS ARMOR Software.

Software controls.

The default item on the ASUS ARMOURY software adjusts each function individually for each button on the keyboard. On the left, users can select individual profiles for each purpose. At the bottom, allows the user to enable / disable the option keys, support for the maximum possible game mode.

The Macro entry allows the user to set Macro keys for certain purposes. These macro buttons are integrated into each user profile, so when you change the profile, users also have to reinstall the Macro to suit the Profile. The Stats section tells the user how many times the button is pressed and the user’s keystroke rate.

The Sync item allows the user to adjust the led in any way desired. This section also contains the basic flashlight adjustments, in addition to the user can adjust to personal preferences. This program also allows you to type in multiple LEDs at the same time.

Feelings and conclusions.

Performance: Cherry MX switch makes typing feel very good. Also the performance of the keys is very stable, in terms of leds, macro settings, as well as profiles.

Processing quality: It must be said that the work on this keyboard is really very good, very solid although designed in modular form. Removing the modules is really easy, just pick up and put in. But we still want a smarter lock-up mechanism, so that mobility does not affect the interconnection between modules.

Functionality: The modular design makes it easier to use, however, when using the keyboard to type text, users are forced to choose between using the Macro keys or using the Numpad to work. In addition, ASUS has not released any other modules that can be used with this keyboard.
