Best praise vs top criticism for Asus ROG Strix Flare II Animate
“If you are looking for those sound signatures, I would personally recommend skipping those two. But if you are still interested in buying them, I've heard that Asus is technically better than Corsair sound wise. As for the switches, vertex v1 is my go to option if I want creamy or thocky, but I don't think the options you listed even support hot swap”
“> Multimedia buttons for volume control and play/pause every kbs has media controls EVERY one . some have shortcuts like fn+arrow keys for dedicated media controls u wiulll be stuck with gamer brands like corsar , logitech asus , roccat , razer . eople around this sub don't like gamer brands for the reason of poor build quality, not user serviceable, poor software, poor value for what you get etc i recommend . aula , keychron , monsgeek , qwertykeys . if u need those deadicated medai keys then stick with the "gamer "brands”
