*Detachable keypad cannot be used independently. It must be connected to either side of the main keyboard.

Every Keystroke Counts

ROG Claymore features Cherry MX RGB switches, 100% anti-ghosting with N-Key rollover (NKRO) technology, fully programmable keys and on the fly macro key recording to ensure you always get the winning edge.

Cherry MX RGB Switches

German-made Cherry MX RGB switches (Red, Blue, Brown and Black) give you tactile, responsive keystrokes and unmatched 50-million-keystroke durability.

ROG Claymore features 100% anti-ghosting with N-Key rollover (NKRO) technology to ensure each keystroke is detected no matter how many other keys are pressed — so all your multi-keystroke commands are logged.
Repeat Acceleration

Repeat acceleration is the rate at which a letter repeats itself when you hold a key down. You can adjust repeat rate to suit the situation at hand — keep it at the default rate for typing, or increase it for some rapid-fire action.

All In Sync

ROG gives you exclusive Aura Sync options and additional features when you pair ROG Claymore with an ASUS ROG motherboard, graphics card and more. ROG Claymore's hotkeys allow you to control your ASUS motherboard fan speed and overclock the system.

Perfect Lighting In Sync

Aura Sync takes RGB lighting beyond the checkbox, combining and controlling the LEDs of all your Aura-enabled products from a single application to achieve perfect, synchronized harmony. Aura lets you sync light effects across your motherboard, ROG Claymore and the ever-growing portfolio of Aura-enabled products. You can choose from an array of LED effects and can even use ROG Claymore's backlighting to reflect CPU temperature.

But a £60 backlit Cherry MX board will do that job for you with £140 for other tasty things, you can get plenty of RGB Cherry MX blue/red/brown for around £120, £80 is being wasted somewhere.

But a £60 backlit Cherry MX board will do that job

You could save yourself the £60 and write in the sand with a stick. Comparing apples and oranges here mate, at least compare similar products.

you can get plenty of RGB Cherry MX blue/red/brown for around £120

You realise your mistake here and continue, however, cheapest on our site RGB wise is Roccat Suora FX - £129.95, and it isn't Cherry, next up is the Corsair Strafe, and then the Claymore 80% TKL. By exaggerating the amount of similar keyboards feature wise and comparing the price you weaken your argument rather than strengthening it

£80 is being wasted somewhere.

Aura sync? Motherboard feature integration? R&D? Software development? Shipping? Not to forget ROG tax. Never forget ROG Tax

The Asus tax is real :O. I understand OCUK don't set the RRP but c'mon folks Asus are having a laugh with this.

I'll agree with everyone £200 is a lot of money but the Ducky YOTM sold out in a week at the same price, and people are putting on their pre-orders with us for this one. There is obviously a market for these Elite Tier peripherals.

If it's not for you we've got you COVERED:

 

[NikTheSHNIK]

I can happily link you to a beautiful Corsair Strafe RGB with Cherry red switches for £117 but I'd get a ban or infraction for it! Also that isn't an exaggeration if I can give you a link for it now is it but ofc I can't, that £83 would buy me a set of 2x8gb DDR4 sticks of RAM or a excellent 550w PSU.

One last thing a keyboard for £60 means I'd save £140 not £60 OCUK arn't always the cheapest either in all products, even if the majority are well priced and customer service is great.

RRP on that board is £134.99, they are selling at a loss. Can't be used as an example for that reason.

Think about it like this - I could put the price of the STRAFE down to £49.99 and be making a loss like PC World. Does that mean the worth of that keyboard is now £49.99?

 

[NikTheSHNIK]

When will the numpad be available to buy?

No word from Asus yet on availability. We only found out that this was landing 1 week before it is due in to their hub. As soon as I hear anything I'll post here and/or in the Claymore Core thread.

 

[NikTheSHNIK]

What is the warranty on this keyboard?

2 years I believe, just confirming with Asus.

 

[NikTheSHNIK]

This kb probably cost corsair and Asus less than £49.99 so you are paying the tax too.

the 80% Core keyboard was on at ( i think) £159.99 for Pre-Orders and when stock landed pricing was revised to £139.99. If the Same was to happen here and we got a price of around £179.99 it would be more reasonable. +£60 for a keypay is too much £40 just about justifiable

When I listed the Core I was given a ballpark figure for the RRP and had to go higher otherwise we would have lost money if the RRP was lower. This time round the RRP is confirmed by ASUS.

Last time round there were a few dozen happy people who had pre-ordered the Core at £159.99 but we shipped it to them at £139.99

 

[NikTheSHNIK]

For anybody who was waiting (as I had my ETA set as today) - just had word from the distributor that these have shipped and will land with us tomorrow
