Pretty poor software...
I did take time to test the N-Key rollover over USB and it worked quite well. Using Aqua'S KeyTest we are able to see what key presses are actually recorded. For our test I hit the A-K keys, H-L keys and the spacebar all at once. Without NKRO enabled only...

Trying to describe how the keyboard feels is a tough task using the written word, but we'll give it a shot. First off, the keyboard is extremely responsive to every keystroke, whether that be gaming or productivity use. The macro keys are easy to access...

In this review, I'll be testing the Cherry MX Brown switch version of this keyboard. The Cherry MX Brown switch is advertised as a quite, tactile switch. Similar to a Cherry Blue, but without the noise. Cherry MX browns are advertised as both good for gam...

Overall, the ASUS Strix Tactic Pro keyboard is a very, very nice unit. Featuring a plethora of macro keys, backlighting, and multi-profile support with on-board memory. Some people might find it's footprint to be on the large side, but I found it to not b...

ASUS has one last Strix peripheral at the ready, a Cherry-MX based mechanical keyboard known as the Strix Tactic Pro, which has founds it way on my desk. I think it's time to perform another surgery.Mechanical keyboards are kind of a staple for premium pe...
NKRO, 21 macrokeys, Excellent build quality;...
Somewhat pricy;...
This is ASUS' first serious entry in the mechanical keyboard space. There was an Echelon mech, but that wasn't built from scratch like the Tactic Pro seems to be. For a Gen. 1 device, this is a exceptional machine. Compared to other mechs, it's just above...

Keyboards are a very personal thing, and as this is one of the three primary interfaces with the system itself (along with the mouse and display), feel will help decide the experience. Without a doubt mechanical keyboard have become very popular with enth...

Pricing befits a premium product, but will be a barrier to entry...

This is from Asus's popular owl and orange themed Strix gaming line up. So first off – those mechanical switches are Cherry MX – phew no knock offs here! This particular version came with brown switches, but black, red and blue switches are all options. M...
The price of $150170 is high compared to Razer but similar to Corsair's offerings. The Corsair K95 has a similar feature set but misses out on a lot of the more useful macro switches. The Razer on the other hand has more macro customization ability, but...

In a broad sense, there are two types of keyboards in this world—those that use mechanical key switches and those that don't. If that sounds like something a keyboard snob would say, so be it, this editor stands guilty as charged, and happily so. We can a...
In our last roundup of mechanical keyboards, we determined there wasn't a clear winner out of the bunch, and while that's mostly true this time around, there is one that we favor above the rest. That one is G.Skill's Ripjaws KM780 RGB. It's the most balan...
