ASUS ROG Claymore II Wireless RGB Keyboard Description
- VERSATILITY EVOLVED – With the ROG Claymore II, you can create your ideal gaming setup by placing the new detachable numpad on whichever side you prefer; then choose between wired or wireless mode and light it all up with Aura Sync. Assume full tactical control with ROG RX Optical Mechanical Switches and customizable hotkeys.
- PLAY IT YOUR WAY – The detachable numpad can be attached on either side of the keyboard, or it can be removed entirely if you prefer to use ROG Claymore II in TKL mode (80%). It can also be programmed to be used as a macro keypad for complex in-game commands. This flexibility gives you various combinations to suit your play style and gaming setup.
- ROG RX OPTICAL MECHANICAL SWITCHES – ROG RX Red and RX Blue Optical Mechanical Switches offer consistent, wobble-free keystrokes with a superfast 1 ms response and 100-million-keystroke lifespan. These premium switches have a hollow-square stem design and they feature embedded RGB LEDs providing all-round per-key lighting.
- LAG-FREE CONNECTION – Play in wired or wireless 2.4 GHz RF mode, with a superfast 1 millisecond response time.
- FAST CHARGE OR USB PASSTHROUGH – 30 minutes of USB-C fast charging allows ROG Claymore II to be operated for up to 18 hours (lighting off). The fast-charge function can be switched off to use the provided USB passthrough for convenient connection to other devices.

Super sensitive keys. Just resting my fingers on the keys we’re triggering it. Great for gaming, not so great for business with lots of random cell formulas and value entering being messed up by light touches on the keys.
The lights on the keys work but I never really got too far into setting it up after the initial setup.
I thought the key pad would work independently of the keyboard but they have to be snapped together in order to work, whether that be for the left or right side.
Very loud confirming clicks which wouldn’t be good for an open office setting, but I work alone so I don’t have to worry about it.
Cords are nice, but a little bit stiff. Comes with some adapters for usb C to A and vice versa.

Coming from the OG claymore core TKL keyboard with brown switches, i was pleased to see that the numpad was included and still optional. I got this open box and happy i did for the price.
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.

This was my second Claymore II red switches keyboard. I had to return the first one only after a few days because I discovered the number keypad does not work on the left side of the keyboard and F1 key is randomly sending out keystrokes for no reason.
Must be a bad apple in the bunch, right? So I ordered the second one because I do like the detachable number pad which is a perfect replacement for my very old Microsoft Sidewinder keyboard.
Guess what! The second one also had almost the same issue just after a few days:
The number pad works on both sides for the keyboard on this one but the ` key starts randomly sending out keystrokes for no reason. I did not realize this until I discovered that many of my notepad files start filling with ` far and between. Some texts were even replaced by ‘ entirely because I was highlighting them for copying without realizing these were being typed over while it was being highlighted with a mouse. The behavior of this keyboard was worse than a non-working number pad. It makes this keyboard unusable and worse, you could lost your data over it. I had to recovered some of my files from backups. This made me very mad. I have never experienced a keyboard behaves this way even on a cheap one. Asus QC really let me down on this one especially at this price point.
I suspected that this issue could be due to the linear nature of the red switch which has no hump to cross over to trigger a keystroke and with a bad QC of a red switch, it could trigger a keystroke without a keypress. That was just my guess. Anyway, avoid this keyboard if you can. If you really like this style of keyboard just like me, I would try the one with the blue switches.
A side note: Armoury Crate is workable but is not as stable as G Hub. Also, customized RGB also works as expected via Aura Creator. I would keep this keyboard if not for poor QC issues of the keyboard.

本キーボードはUSレイアウトのみ販売しています。お値段もそれなりに高いですし、日本ではあまり出回っていないのかな・・・。まず目を引かれるのはテンキーが着脱可能なことです。ゲーム好きな方にはTKLタイプのキーボードが好まれると思いますが、テンキーはたまに使いたい・・そんな方にはググっと来る内容ですよね。外したテンキーは左側にも装着可能ですので、フルサイズのままゲーミング仕様にすることも可能です。（左側は慣れるまで使いにくいと思いますけど）また、キースイッチはROGのオリジナル赤軸です。写真の通り4点で固定されていますのでCherry MX などと比較しますとキートップがかなりしっかりした印象で指を乗せた程度ではぐらつくこともありません。打鍵感はCherryの赤軸系の感触を踏襲しつつもぐらつき無くしっかりと押せる感覚、ぬるぬると指に吸い付くような感触です。（秋葉のヨドで触って打鍵感にひとめぼれしました）好き嫌いはあると思いますがこれまでにない新しい感触なので、購入を検討されている方は是非、事前に触ってみてもらいたいところです。そして・・・無線対応にUSBパススルー（無線時は利用不可）も備え、多くの用途に対応可能です。また、ライティング制御はASUSのArmoury Crateにて制御可能（色々不安定なソフトですが）ASUSのM/Bを使っている方ならアプリを１つに纏められるのでお勧めです。
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。
控えめに言って大満足な一品となりました。

This is another high quality ROG product. A nice addition to my gaming setup. The ten key pad is detachable which is a nice feature. Fast charging capability for wireless use. Connect it via the USB cable for the best performance.

First of all I’m a big fan of Asus, I own Asus motherboard, graphic cards, router etc, this is the first time I bought Asus peripheral. So when the keyboard arrives, I plug it into my PC and has no problem with it(Or maybe the problem hasn’t arise yet). After several hours of usage I decided to install Armor Crate and update the firmware as in the manual. After the firmware update and the next couple days I notice some serious driver issues with the keyboard.
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.

Si me gustó, muy cómodo al teclear, el problema para mi es que la pila no dura mucho, la iluminación consume demasiado ( una carga me daba entre 3 y 4 dias). Entonces, para estarlo recargando a cada rato, y para el precio tan caro, es como si tuviera un alámbrico. Y es que yo tenia un inalambrico no mecánico que con dos pilas AA me duraba la bateria ** meses ** literal (claro, no tenia la iluminación de teclas tragandose la energia). Mejor me resigne a comprar uno mas barato de marca y calidad parecidas aunque fuera alámbrico.

Es excelente, pero tiene algunas áreas de oportunidad que me molestan mucho, sobre todo porque es muy costoso. Lo recomiendo solo si te sobra el dinero y quieres presumir, yo me arrepiento de comprarlo.
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.

The battery died on me and started on fire, the entire keyboard is destroyed. I now have a burn mark on my floor and my hands are burned. The battery started bulging out making the O and K keys not work and from there all hell. DO NOT BUY THIS, NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!!!

The ASUS company does a poor job at describing & educating the consumer about this amazing product. I am not a gamer, but I love high quality keyboards. I write for a living. Expect the keys to click; the keys do not bind-up ever, the spring back of the key is fast, & I love the L & R option number pad. I use the num-pad on the left because I use the mouse on the R & what a blessing that is.
Be aware that the num pad does not stand alone it must be attached to the L or R side. I am not going to waste my time with all of the other incredible points. I say buy it & you will be amazed. PS: the keyboard does not slip on my glass desktop. The keyboard is very very heavy & will not move around.
