I'm a long time Console (PS) gamer, and am now switching on PC... Thank you PC Centric, because of you, my ordered PC is going to be lit. For the keyboard, I chose the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 :)
Yesssssssssssssssssss, what I've been waiting for!
I'm gonna buy this soon for my ROG PC and also, plz do a review of the new ROG Gladius 3 wireless!
Take a drink every time he says "Ultimately" and you'll be drunk off your face half way through the video
Hello 👋 sir your channel is awesome always 👍
love your videos bro ...been binge watching the past few days lol
keep doing your thing man!
Great Video. Totally worth the price. Not everyone is looking for a cheap deal. If I'm building a high end system then the keyboard is just as important and Asus looks like they have what I would want.
This keyboard really reminds me of the Mountain Everest keyboard.
Literally was thinking that
The rog claymore also costs more, and isn't hotswappable switches
Everest in my eyes wins
@Quentin My god im so sorry, im in the uk and i saw gbp and thought it was dollars. You are completely right and also Claymore 2 is wireless as well, so it does win. My bad
Except this keyboard you can actually get your hands on. Mountain has struggled with its supply chain big time.
Love the vids watch every single one
This is the keyboard I've always been waiting for no more 2 keyboards :D
Waited for this 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I find with the 10 keyless methods you still have the f10 - f11 keys which can be used to increase and lower volume depending on preference. But I know some people would dislike this since it it is an extra step having to hit the f10 key before hitting the function key. But I find this not an issue since it's so common for me to go for that anyways and it's a lot better than doing it right from the OS itself.
Thank you🙏
hi great video!
Very cool keyboard sir!

My choise is ASUS ROG Strix Scope with Red Silent switches. Yes, it's wired and full sized. However it's 2.5 times cheaper, but still ROG and looks and feels solid and premium.
I've been waiting for release or at least a rumor of a release date. Built my brand new PC yesterday and the claymore 2 is all I need to finish. Using my black widow elite for now but I'm buying the claymore 2 the second it releases in Canada.
need the volume wheel on main keyboard great video :-)
I just bought one. Will edit and update when it comes in and have time for gaming with it. I wanted to be able to lay up
In the bed and game on my 65in 8K TV. So looking forward to see how this all works out.
haha ivanky! I love how you managed to just say it once :)
Still using my Microsoft Sidewinder keyboard wtih removable numpad, going strong after 10 years! It attaches via magnets to either side, even easier than sliding. I want to upgrade to this just for the wireless aspect.
Same here, my X6 is still going strong since 2008. Hard to find similar current gen replacement
0:04 the entire custom scene looking down at you when you said that sentence
5:55 you mean ASUS 😆 😂
Love the vid btw
I'm highly likely to buy this keyboard! Very excited. However, on impression from the video, I do wish that Asus: [1] moved the volume wheel to the main keyboard; and [2] made the four likely-awesome new macro keys the same height as all the other keys.
I have subscribed and clicked the bell
This keyboard looks amazing. That price though..
How much is it
@@nathanleveille3108 269
@@nicoopiee found it somewhere for £169 so am very tempted!
Can you make another budget pc build it was really helpful and you might be able to make an updated one
I’m using a G915 full size at home
Love the low profile and I do use the numpad in blender
If you had a choice between this and the Corsair K100, which would you pick if wireless wasn't a consideration? 🤔
I've been using the keyboard that came with my pc ever since I got it, I've been looking from a good mechanical keyboard!
This is a (expensive) banger!
@@PcCentric nice in a nutshell poster
@@PcCentric remember my name when you get famous thanks :)
I have one and its 2 years old and some of the keys stop working. Do you know if I can change the bad keys out? I have another one that I can take the keys out of.
Love your vids! ❤️ I’m actually early 👀
he just bought in a nutshell poster nice
I found I do need something exactly like this. Windows on Max spreadsheet data entry work but some gaming / media. The only (big) things I’d wanna have is a white option. What are my other close range options from Logitech or others in TKL if I have to have a separate 10key?
Hey PC centric I just got my new PCN I am 14-year-old it is not the greatest but it looks cool I’ve only had it for this evening do you recommend any good upgrades for the first upgrade? Love your vids
Nice 👍
That's cool I recently brought one too!
You pointing out the volume control wheel not being on the main board is the reason I can't pull the trigger on this board. I want tenkeyless 90% of the time and I want that volume control 100% of the time. Actual sad problem cause this board sounds amazing otherwise
If the home cluster was also removable, and gave the option to arrange the keyboard any way I want it would be great, if way too expensive. As is, not really worth it over a 75% for me.
Would you be able to do a 2021 version of upgrading a gaming PC? (if it is necessary of course lol)
the thing is ...rog peripherals last a lot.
so from that point of view i'd sat they are worth it
Are you going to do a 3080 ti build when it comes out.
I like watching your videos, I like every video I watch, and I was wondering if you could please make a how to connect two monitors video. Me and my grandpa are building a pc soon and I need to know how to connect two monitors. A
When using the keyboard wirelessly, can you plug in a device (e.g. wired mouse or wired USB headphones) and use them though the USB Passthrough? In other words, do the keyboard have to be plugged into the PC in order to use devices that are plugged into the USB Passthrough?
Does it last ? i broke 2 logitech gaming keyboards under month, corsair mechanical works for years.
Hey please could you make a video on the best prebuilt I’m looking for a budget around £1200 or Lower
Everyone focusing on the volume wheel:
Me having a Logitech MX Master 2S and *having the volume wheel next to my thumb*
Hi, I just pre-order Claymore II and Gladius III, in my country these two comes in pre-order bundle. Since they have same USB RF 2.4ghz receiver dongle, so my question is : will it cause signal interference when I plug both dongle into same PC? Or one dongle will do the job?
Two dongles unfortunately, but no interference
i want keyboard that heats up my fingertips in winter and to cool in summer, after that next step would be keycaps that can do massage ;D
What about a finger spa!?😄 and hand massager? That you could add with magnets! for R.S.I😆
@@swinnburn you deserve a cookie ;D
@@GabbyTech these ideas are simply so stupid yet hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
yay I was never that early
I feel like this might be perfect for me cos I'm left handed but I use my mouse with my right hand and I'm also an accountant who loves the G913 hahaha.
Can't find buying option anywhere
I am trying to build a pc, and I was wondering: do all plug-connectors on motherboards and cases need to connect?
Put it I the mobo
Hmm is there even multimedia buttons or sound toggles?
can you use the usb port for USB storage devices?
Love it!
Where to buy it?
Got one just now
Hello can you review the glorious gmmk pro
would tou mind going on amazon and an IBUYPOWER gaming pc for $750 im wondering if its a good starter pc
The moving numpad is not new. I had a microsoft gaming keyboard 12 years back that did that too. Pretty much same way too magnets and all. Putting the numpad left is so convenient!
But why would you want to use it on TKL all the time when you can just move the numbpad to the left? You've got the full benefit as TKL and fullsize that way anyway. I would buy this in a hearthbeat if only they tone down that gamery aesthetic a bit more - and if they offered some good compatible mouse
I love ROG Keyboard
Here a point of view of someone that use it for work....
i have the mx mechanical keyboard and recently buy an asus claymore 2 keyboard...
and i can tell that for work maybe i prefer the mx mechanical...
in the asus you can program every key... but its a little more complicated...
but in the mx mechanical with the logitech options you have the option of programing keys (not every key but a lot of keys)...
and in logitech options you can program every key for any program you want....
that is a very good feature that in theory you can do in the asus keyboard but... simply dosnt work as well as the logitech program...
and yes you can put the num pad on the left side but... i am so acostume to the "normal" position of the numpad that i cant use it on the left...
it feels incredible unconfortable to have the numpad on the left... i cant find any key... i constantly press the numlock key thinking is the esc key and pressing the zero key believing is the control key... and using the right hand to find the numpad... so this is a very cool feature that dosnt work for me maybe someone else can acostume to the left side numpad... and maybe its better... but for me i just simply cant...
the ty ping experience is very very good... i really dosnt play anything and use it for work... and for work i think its better the mx mechanical...
nothing its perfect but this is a very good keyboard... i hve it with the blue switches... and its a little loudly but not as much as some people says...
another thing i dont like is that the battery life is pretty bad... compared with the logitech mx mechanical... with the asus you have to recharge every week... whit the logitech you have to recharge like every month or more...
so... if you wanta keyboard for playing... maybe the asus is better... for work i prefer the mx mechanical but both are very good keyboards...
and i have to admit the typin experience are better in the asus... but the typing experience in the logitech are good and the customization in the software are better...
a hard choice both are premium keyboards...
i will give it a try to the claymore 2... bu t for someone that need it for work maybe the mx mechanical is better.
Anybody noticed the small left shifts in his keyboard reviews
The more I see these keyboards monstrosities... the more I'm happy to be in the custom Mech keebs hobby...
r/MK fellow keebs lover here 👋
Until you mentioned it, I hadn't noticed the volume is on the 10 key, and that really doesn't make sense... And the price is a bit much for what you get, and these are both issues for me... Thnx...
Somebody can tell me when this keyboard will come to main market?
It's a actually a bigger friendly Minecraft PvP keyboard keep it near the usually WASD key's and just re map the keys and shift to the item on your hotbar fast and easyly
Sorry for the bad English
check out the womier k87... its different al right
As much as i love this keyboards specific features, i love how my current rog keyboard has that extended CTRL key 😭 if this keyboard had it too, i woulda bought it right away
@PC Centric
Hey man.
My keyboard actually died today. I had cyborg v.7🤦♂️ for last 12 or 13 years.
Now i need a new one and the question is what to buy?
Now im have top 3.
k100,
flare
and claymore 2. What do you think?
All good options, my fave is still the G915, or the corsair K63
I hope ivanky is available in the philippines
if you read this, please ask ROG if they are going to make a PBT keycap set or a PBT version of this keyboard
IF they do, this will literally be my dream keyboard and I'll buy it immediately ! :D
I just read the specs and seems like it comes with PBT keycaps
I was pleasantly surprised and it already one ups Logitech and Razer with this
@@007Babush yes now it does. When this video came out it wasn't the case tho.
Nice to see that there's finaly a "big brand" with PBT keycaps 👌
@@Vladek16 I agree :)
However I just found that it doesn't support Bluetooth which was a bit letdown :((
Does anyone know how many key command can to set inTo a single macro?
i assume the number pad does not work when detached, even wireless
Nope
i swear its not on amazon uk cant find it
This or flare II animate?
i mean, to be fair....customs exist
but yeah on the gaming market its pretty much all same-y nowadays
claymore ii in this video has a bigger enter key. i like bigger enter keys.
Bought it
I dislike the gamery font on the keycaps so if I were to get some more normal looking keycaps this keeb actually wont be that bad
Does this keyboard for ipad
Try the Steelseries Apex Pro TKL
number pad on the left of the keyboard caused my brain to melt into a red, gooey mess.
It's bit incomplete. The volume wheel should be in the main board. It also should have lights on/off button. The movable numpad is bit of a gimmick that isn't really worth anything. If it would work without being attached, then it would instantly gain a point. To make use of this modular design they could make extra addon similar to numpad but let it be only macro keys. Then it would start to make sense that you have this extra module. Also no Linux support. Makes the keyboard somewhat low tier.
NUMpad is ridiculous.
1) has volume, as it's mentioned in 4:27
2) toooo flimsy
3) Why I cannot connect numpad separately? It's so obvious.
I need to keep the keyboard on my knees, and this numpad breaks everything.
I guess, it's mostly for desktop.
But the idea is really good. Implementation? I don't think so....
Keyboard is too loud with red switches, after mx red on Varmilo (panda).
And the noise comes (I guess) not from switches but from keycups.
Good review.
Just picked this up from scan for £179 ..gotta be a bargain!?
to answer the question at the very start of the video about gaming keyboards becoming stale. i don't think its "gaming keyboards" not doing anything "innovative" its more people are moving towards customs over main stream purchases as they can truly make a keyboard that fits them perfectly, and its becoming increasingly easier and far cheaper to make a keyboard these days. so more people are able to justify the purchase of a custom over a mainstream board
well the price has come down over the last couple of weeks, its now £210ish. Maybe on black friday it will be worth it.
how to check a motherboard has usb bios flashback
Tempted.... I need a keypad for work... not for gaming. Now I have the option.
Quality
Keyboard link leads to something, but nothing there but other brands?
nice
what? sold out in Amazon.
i'll keep my corsair k100rgb i think
I still think my ROG strix flare is the best keyboard Asus ever made.
You can just make a infinity long keyboard
Isn't optical mechanical switch similar to Razer optical switch?
yes, the idea is similar
I think Rog will cancel Centric for Corsair logo lmao
they MUST separate their keyboards/mouse software away from armoury crate, thats the big issue with asus peripherals
It looks cool but nothing compares to the azeron keypad combined with a good mouse. I use that shit for everything.
This or logitech g915?
