Cherry MX Blue
Mechanical keyboards utilize a different type of key switch technology for a more durable and unique typing experience. The Cherry MX Blue switch has an actuation force of 50 g and offers both an audible "click" and a tactile bump when pressed, letting you know that the key has registered. The "click" comes from a mechanism within the switch that triggers when the key reaches its actuation point.
Customizable Illuminated Badge
Personalize the Strix Flare with its customizable acrylic badge or keep the pre-installed ROG badge. Note: Use white or light-colored paint or stickers for better results. For a premium finish, try professional printing.
Dedicated Media Keys
The dedicated media keys include a volume scrolling wheel as well as play/pause, stop, back, and forward buttons. Located alongside are the Windows Lock and Brightness adjustment buttons.
Detachable Wrist Rest
Add extra support with the detachable wrist rest. It hooks into place with subtle grooves and can be removed when no longer needed.
USB Pass-Through
A USB Type-A pass-through port lets your quickly and easily connect USB peripherals such as a mouse, headset, and so on.
