DLCs weren't selling, so they stopped giving the original game updates... I mean, I get that it takes quite a bit of time and money for them to update the for new product launches, but that was the main point of PCBS :/ And when the major talking points are "thermal paste behavior" and "thermal imaging" I'm not really sure what makes this worthy as a sequel and not just a normal update to the original.
Those headphones look like they have a HUGE potential for streaming. As you have mentioned with the gifted subs, or any other interactive things while streaming, they could bring a bit more to the table for the entertainment factor. However, that being said, if it is not done correctly, it could also have the potential of being more of a distraction. Its a cool idea none the less.
The dot matrix on the keyboard is pretty slick, but it should have more options for system monitoring. Dot matrix on the headset seems... Useless? I get that it's probably for streamers, but I won't ever see it if I'm wearing it...
$220 is ludicrous for a gaming keyboard with cherry switches. You can build a custom with ttc switches, which are significant more smooth than cherry switched for less.
@@hayden1255 I get what you mean but alot of people don't feel luke making a custom keyboard. And this comes with more features, software... And in theend of the day people do what they want sure it migth be a bit overpriced but it line up with other companies so I honestly don't mind the price.
who else thought the holes in the headset was Asus' attempt at a higher end "open back" headphone and was sorely disappointed when discovering it was just for frivolous lighting?
I am loving the hot-swappable switches! For one it makes cleaning the keyboard so much easier. I do wish the cord was removable and swapped with a type-c.
I'm very late for the party as I just got the Flare II Animate in 2024. I was half expecting Dmitry to blast the novelty of the dot matrix LEDs at the start of the video lol. I can imagine using custom text on the headset's dot matrix display to impress your crush because other than that you won't be seeing that display while using the headset. I'm currently using this keyboard to post here and I must say that past the 3 day mark, I no longer pull out my keyboard tray fully just to admire the animated display lol. The display is actually useful when it shows volume up/down and I have no complaints about the feel of the switch/keycaps, but I think the Scope II 96 was slightly better in that respect.
Im currently rocking a full logitech setup cuz l got g915 tkl, gpro, gpro x headset, and logitech webcam and tbh im not ditching them in the foreseeable future (morely cuz they costed a lot)
As a guy with broad shoulders, I'm lucky enough not to need the agressive slant to play. I have plently of room to maneuver. But I'm so glad I no longer need to make my own tactile bump on the W key with this board! So happy to see someone catching up! :D
Yes, when I'm gaming, I like to watch my keyboard and look at my headphones in the mirror to see the dancing images on my headphones. Well done ASUS! We really needed those!
@@dean.478 not even gimmicks imho. I don't think we need innovation in keyboards. I'd gladly go for reliability, fair price and good customer service. On the other hand that would be pretty innovative.
@@dean.478 you do know that you don't need to buy it rigth? And there a verison without the matrix and the hot swap feature. People love complaining... if you don't like it don't buy it...
I like RGB on controllers and headsets, but I don't really need an RGB headset. I already got an RGB controller, the PDP Afterglow Wave Xbox controller.
Hmm weird about it having no CPU monitoring, that was actually one of the main points on the website that made me interested in the product :/ Why would they remove that?
"How cool would it be to have health status etc. displayed on the keyboard?" ... it would suck. How often do you look at your keyboard during gameplay?
Why do you say you need a slant to use a full size keyboard while gaming? I use a full size just fine with no need for a slant. If anything, the slant makes it more awkward to use
Yes, when I'm gaming I love to look down at my keyboard to admire the dancing led's and look in the mirror at my headphones (and not look at my game on the monitor) with the dancing led light. Great ASUS! We needed those!
I have the asus tuf gaming h3 wireless. It was 80euro and i couldnt be more happy for that price. Its really good, costs like 50% less then some of the 'flagship' wireless gaming headsets and its connectivity, build quality and mic are really better then the asking price imo. Maybe a good idea for a video
I dont really like the Matrix lights/animations. But if they come out with a Wifi TKL version I would try it. And of course an upvote for playing Tarkov :)
hello. i want buy a headset for my ps4 and i can not choose between astro a40+mixamp pro and steel series arctis pro+gamedac can you choose one for me i want it just for story games not for online games if there is better choise please let me know price steelseries pro gamedac 192$ astro a40 tr 195$
The headset is pretty sick! The price will put them pretty far out of reach for me, for a gaming headset. But maybe some big sales will happen later on!
If you're spending 250 for headphones, just buy sens hd560s or beyer dt 900x for studio quality audio and competitive fps use. Those are some of the best neutral to light bass monitoring headphones you can get and will be better than any of these overpriced gimmicky gaming brand cans.
Headset, if they could implement the light effect to discord or other teamspeak app to light up when team-mate speaks, somekind to notify your partner or parent, that you're on conversation, gonna be great.
Hello, I live in Turkey and I have a budget of 250 dollars. I only play Counter Strike. I want to stay in the footsteps of the enemy coming from behind me during the conflict. My only purpose is a game, my expectations are what do you think is the best headset in this budget? What should I buy as dac + headphones? Is this headset the best option for this purpose in this budget?
honestly if of the shelf keyboards sounded like this when I was getting into mechanical keyboards 6 years ago I would have never gotten into the hobby. would have saved my thousands of dollars XD but I would have missed out on tons of great products though. there are still a lot of benefits to going custom though this ROG board stills sounds really hollow but great to see the bigger "gaming" guys start to put some effort into making their boards not sound like someone dropped a plastic bucket full of pens and forks down a flight of stairs.
Would absolutley Love ROG stuff IF... they did more with wireless headsets actually being good. and dropped armory crate for something more like what glorious is doing. Wired headphones are a NO GO for gaming in 2022, wired for music is fine.
"If you're not used to gaming on a full sized keyboard you gotta do that aggressive slant"... what? wha... huh? I mean if this is your idea of April Fools... okay...
They finally make a hot-swappable keyboard. This will be interesting about what Logitech will do in future. Or else they will lose a big market share to ASUS.
I would be much more interested in ASUS hardware if they did away with the "REPUBLIC OF GAMERS" branding - just a minimalist ASUS branding would be ideal. It's the equivalent of having "CULT OF VIRGINS" on my keyboard.

Asus definitely figured out how to do the stabilizers. My scope rx has good stabilizers as well.
I was surprised by the typing test. I was expecting some terrible sounds - but wow, sounds decent

honestly it looks like a waste of money, You cant see it, stream cant see it unless you set camera up specifically for it. then its just like why
@@DavidBernard123 I said it had potential. And yes, it could also have the potential to be a waste of money. LoL
Thanks for repeating exactly what he was saying.
for 250 on the headphones, that is a hard pill to swallow .
There is a ROG tax included.
And I'm pretty sure a cheaper Senheiser headphone is gonna sound twice better.
Good thing I'm good at swallowing

Shame nothing is wirless. Great video!
That Matrix simulation to Pc building simulator segway/transition was straight up brilliant
timestamp?
What is the mousepad at 2:13?
A TKL of that keyboard would be nice
a wireless 75% version of that keyboard is what will get me sold
1:15 yeah sadly, the matrix display neither the keyboard or the headphones do not have RGB, but I would expect that to change ….very soon
who else thought the holes in the headset was Asus' attempt at a higher end "open back" headphone and was sorely disappointed when discovering it was just for frivolous lighting?
Are you fucking slow

I love full size, but I absolutely detest wired keyboard. So this one is not for me, hope they remade Claymore with better key caps
This LED Matrix looks really cool, but hot-swap on such a gaming keeb is even more fascinating!
If they made this a TKL with a wrist wrest, I'd go for it!
If every company did, I'd be all about it!
Better yet, a moveable numberpad. They already have it on one of their keyboards.
@@tams805 claymore 2
I like RGB on controllers and headsets, but I don't really need an RGB headset. I already got an RGB controller, the PDP Afterglow Wave Xbox controller.
Non removable cable as it seems?
finally a glasses friendly headset, however it is too expensive. Do you have any other more affordable options? such as under $100
Is front panel on keyboard metal or just the bottom plate?Thank you
Hmm weird about it having no CPU monitoring, that was actually one of the main points on the website that made me interested in the product :/ Why would they remove that?
They didn’t it was never added only to the azoth

No mic test?
Hello,
are there any information available about when these products come to germany?
Yes, when I'm gaming I love to look down at my keyboard to admire the dancing led's and look in the mirror at my headphones (and not look at my game on the monitor) with the dancing led light. Great ASUS! We needed those!
Great video. I literally just downloaded the armory create yesterday!
nice that they added the foam to the keyboard but I wonder how the sound profile would change with a better foam and maybe a tape mod to the pcb
You keyboard people are never satisfied, right?
Wow, where did you get that gamey mousemat? I would like one, its sick
is that keyboard better than corsair k100 in terms of typing quality?
Worlds better
Where did you get your mousepad Dimitri? It looks real nice
What happened to the mic test?
Monitor?
Ohhhh love what they did with the keyboard!
Also, really fun editing in this video (:
Newer Western digital external drives are USB c.... And they are awesome...
What goona be best keyboard under 100$ tkl or full not 60℅
that keyboard wont allow me to work, too much distraction from astonishing effects
Does it do braille :) Shame that its not in Rgb !

steelseries pro gamedac 192$
astro a40 tr 195$
Man if that keyboard had a tent mode, I would buy it

The mic is the same as the old Delta S

first 2-3 days you will be so amazed, then it's all just blends in and after few days you switch all noisy lighting off
I only consider wireless keyboard and mouse (with decent battery life) nowadays.
the mini-led is super cool and is something differential from other companies
Headset, if they could implement the light effect to discord or other teamspeak app to light up when team-mate speaks, somekind to notify your partner or parent, that you're on conversation, gonna be great.
Oh I have the same keyboard but the previous one without the screen
I'd argue the lights on the keyboard are significantly less of a gimmick than the ones on the headset
corsair monitor?
@ 8:13 which game was he playing?
Escape from Tarkov
Not a fan of gaming keyboards but wow, those stabs do sound pretty good!
This is the future of pc fashion. They definitely set the bar, next will come colors and greater definition.
The headphones would be awesome if you could make your own things to go on them so if you are a streamer you could put your own logo on them

Where is the TKL version, Asus
I'm looking for a new mouse from Asus or corsair but I can only see the Asus like 200$ mouse being an upgrade
The keyboard costs $219. Did I miss it or was the price never mentioned in the video?
honestly if of the shelf keyboards sounded like this when I was getting into mechanical keyboards 6 years ago I would have never gotten into the hobby. would have saved my thousands of dollars XD but I would have missed out on tons of great products though. there are still a lot of benefits to going custom though this ROG board stills sounds really hollow but great to see the bigger "gaming" guys start to put some effort into making their boards not sound like someone dropped a plastic bucket full of pens and forks down a flight of stairs.
in the future these LEDs will be the mid range headset for $100-150.
These pixelated logo lights are really bad for me. They look like 90s product and also don't look premium or pleasant.
No mic testing? :'( Sad. :(
Would love to have RGB Pixels instead of white LEDs 😃
Not a Fan of the white led. They should´ve used an lcd or oled in that place
All they need now is a mouse that has "animated" left and right clicks and we've got a set. We might not need monitors anymore 🤣
Would absolutley Love ROG stuff IF... they did more with wireless headsets actually being good. and dropped armory crate for something more like what glorious is doing. Wired headphones are a NO GO for gaming in 2022, wired for music is fine.
Need wireless & TKL, asap!
well, corsair needs to make something new with their keyboard. cause all corsair K70 or k95 feature got better with this keyboard
Swear to god, if asus makes some matrix 2 planar magnetic headphones they pretty much win
The comfort with the sound of the Audeze Penrose. Hell yeah.
"If you're not used to gaming on a full sized keyboard you gotta do that aggressive slant"... what? wha... huh? I mean if this is your idea of April Fools... okay...
PC Sim looks good. You lost me at Epic Store though. I can wait.
Good job ASUS! Better than Corsair...
not exactly *“INSANE”* , was it?

exciting stuff
All i want from this dudes is a spanish layout keyboard…cuz Ñ Ñ Ñ Ñ Ñ for life
We want analog keyboard from rog
I love asus' devices but I hate their bloat-loaded software.. it's pretty damn resource intensive than bitdefender lol!
Nice to see decent stabs on a board like this. It is a shame they did that on a full size board with stupid gimmicks.
very few pro gamers use full size keyboards anymore - TKL or 65% is the way to go -
Ok where is the rog delta wireless
I would be much more interested in ASUS hardware if they did away with the "REPUBLIC OF GAMERS" branding - just a minimalist ASUS branding would be ideal.
It's the equivalent of having "CULT OF VIRGINS" on my keyboard.
That headset tho Mmmmmm
Garish
what is wrong with youtube. i didn't get this video in sub list. had to manually search
Gotta love ASUS
These sponsor transitions are next level.
Also, nice Chad gameplay in Factory.
This has got to be a day early
Another awesome keyboard that will never get to Brazil... Man... I wish all central banks (the ones that print the money) went extinct.
bruh chill
I’m sure i’ll buy this if i have a gaming laptop/pc
