The build quality is great and the fit and finish is almost perfect. The caps at either (where the numpad attaches) end of the keyboard have a little wobble but I'm nitpicking there. The keys have no wobble and the font isn't bad, typical ROG font,(some will hate it) the weight of the metal frame and rubber feet keeps the keyboard planted so It feels like a thicc boi in the TKL arrangement I use it in. The abs keys feel nice and the RGB is beautifully done. A very rigid and well built frame imo.
The USB-C cable is nice and sheathed, great for power delivery and durability. The wireless capability is great, I had no issues and is quick. But I use it in wired more because wires don't bother me. The USB passthrough is a nice feature with quick charge. It's definite plus since I'm always changing my phone at my desk. The macros function works and will definitely be something i delve more into.
As for the key switches themselves, the new ROG RX Red optical switches are what intrigued me. They are insanely quick and definitely take some getting used to for me. Coming from browns, I'm used to the feeling of the keys actuating. With the RX reds, I don't really feel that but can tell and see when the input is triggered. The keys feel quick and light but not too light. The very linear feel is great and quiet compared to the browns i came from. It's a nice change and feels more responsive due to the shorter key travel needed. When it comes to typing, that also took some time to adjust. My PC doubles and a CAD workstation so the keys don't feel bad for everyday use. The included numpad is a bonus now too, typing up emails and documents is no problem either. But these switches are definitely made with just gaming in mind.
As for software, it's the ARMORY CRATE by Asus, it's been hit or miss for me. I've used their ecosystem for years now so I'm satisfied with it compared to the crap it once was. It's good to see updates regularly rolled out and the aura sync and original RoG Armory consolidated into a more streamlined GUI. It's still buggy sometimes but gets the job done well. I understand it's a work in progress so i don't hate it too much, especially when compared to other software, but there always room for improvement.
In short, it's a high quality keyboard you can setup in different ways to meet your needs, the switches are very responsive, and has a nice feature set. It's pricey, but used/open box makes it worth a look into. I've been using Asus ROG products for years now and will keep doing so for now.
The only thing I do not like is how slow it charges if not plugged into a USB C port, got this around 7pm it is now almost 11pm the battery has only charged to 43%. Should be able to charge faster with any fast USB 3.0 port I plug it into. It should have also come with a USB 3.0 cable. That is the only bad thing I can say about it honestly.

It's not perfect, though. The keycaps are proprietary. So any notion of swapping them out for something custom is out the window (though you could probably 3D print custom/replacements if you were so inclined). And there's something funky with the driver. Since I was concerned about the battery life, I had completely intended on using this wired 100% of the time. However, when the keyboard is wired, it spits out random "s" characters. With nothing touching the keyboard at all. I thought I might be in store for an RMA, but strangely, when wireless, this doesn't happen. Everything functions exactly as expected when it's wireless. Hopefully Asus will release an updated driver that fixes that issue, but it's something to note for now.

The only flaw in this keyboard's design is the digital portion of the calculator, which requires a stronger way to attach it to the keyboard body.

Pros:
*estético
*excelente batería (lo uso para trabajar y jugar videojuegos, un promedio de 10 u 11 horas al día y solo lo tengo que cargar una vez a la semana para pasar de 25% a 90%)
*funcional y personalizable.
*se puede cargar sin tener que conectarlo a la pc.
Cons:
*precio
*el numpad no funciona si se desconecta
*la almohadilla solo sirve si se tiene el teclado y el numpad
*el numpad y el teclado tienen conexiones de cada lado, de forma que se puede poner el numpad a la derecha o a la izquierda del teclado. Para proteger las conexiones ambos tienen protectores de plástico. Son 4 protectores, cada uno diferente, cuando pudieron ser iguales los 4... Este punto es el peor para mí, pues es básico del diseño industrial que tanto presume el producto.
First issue keyboard will mess with my mouse from time to time. It is as if it's drawing not enough current from the USB 3.0 port. From time to time it will cut off for a second and come back. So both mouse and keyboard stops working from time to time.
Then there is another issue of the key I type start repeating itself without me doing anything. Try to google "Rog claymore ii issues part 2" and you will find a video post by a user. I have the exact same problem, and it's a common problem, not acceptable for a 200 pounds keyboard.
I went to the asus forum to find a solution. Surprisingly a lot of people are having problem with the firmware upgrade, and asked to downgrade the firmware, but that is not possible. In the end I gave up and asked for a refund. After all the research I've done, my conclusion is ASUS make good hardwares like motherboard and graphic cards, but their peripherals is trash, avoid it.
私にとって本品は独創的、かつ大変満足度の高いキーボードです。
