Full-size gaming keyboard with AniMe Matrix

The ASUS ROG Strix Flare II Animate is a full-size mechanical keyboard built for gamers who want per-key RGB lighting plus a programmable LED matrix on the top frame. It ships with ROG NX Red linear switches that are hot-swappable so you can change the feel without soldering. A detachable wrist rest with a light diffuser adds comfort during long sessions. Dedicated media and volume controls sit at the top-left corner for quick access.

Check USB port and Windows version before ordering

The keyboard connects through a single USB port and the supplied software supports Windows 10. Verify that your system has a free USB port and runs a compatible operating system. No mouse is included in the package. The box contains the keyboard, wrist rest, keycap puller, switch puller, stickers, quick-start guide and warranty booklet.

8000 Hz polling rate keeps response consistent

An 8000 Hz polling rate delivers a 0.125 ms response time that remains stable during extended gaming sessions rather than only in short bursts. Built-in sound-dampening foam reduces pinging noises when keys are held or pressed repeatedly. ROG switch stabilisers keep longer keys steady under sustained use. Hot-swappable sockets let you replace switches if the stock linear feel does not suit your workload.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy any extra accessories?

The box contains the keyboard, a detachable wrist rest, a keycap puller, a switch puller, a ROG sticker, a quick-start guide and a warranty booklet. No additional accessories are required for basic operation.

Which switch option should I choose for a smooth linear feel?

The keyboard ships with ROG NX Red linear switches and includes a switch puller so you can replace them later with any compatible three-pin mechanical switch if you prefer a different actuation force or sound profile.

What does the 8000 Hz polling rate mean for everyday gaming?

An 8000 Hz polling rate delivers a 0.125 ms response time, so each keystroke is registered with minimal delay for faster in-game reactions.
