Asus ROG Claymore Mechanical Keyboard query?

[Space Monkey]

Hey guys,

Does anyone have experience with this keyboard, the one with the removable number pad?

Is it well built, solid and good quality?

I've seen some say that the numpad wobbles or moves when typing on the keyboard, is that true?

Anything else, good or bad to report?


Thanks

Seen your review on the shop page, would love to hear your thoughts?

Thanks

I got one at work that Asus gave me. It's solid enough. The numpad slots in place and stays put.

My only gripes are that I'd like to see PBT keycaps at that price point and I'm really not a fan of the stabilisers but other than it being a pita to clean it's alright for the money.

switches and caps aside, quality is what I would expect for a board at its price point

Thanks rjk,

OCUK have one for £99 is that the price point you're talking about?

Honestly I love it, I have the Cherry MX Blue version, It's solid, Built like a tank and the optional keypad is great, If you're in the market for one I can highly recommend it, Although personally I'd buy a replacement PBT keycap set.

Do you have any issues with the keypad moving in anyway at all?

I assume any Cherry MX compatible PBT keycaps will work?

As long as you have the keyboard on a stable surface there should be zero movement from the numpad and as far as I know any standard layout PBT set will be fine

Thanks, good to know

Thanks for the input guys, think I'm tempted to grab it whilst it's on offer!

Bought one tonight, couldn't resist at that price, got the Cherry MX Blue switches, can't wait to get it setup

Will do, did you buy PBT keycaps for yours at all?
