The ASUS Strix Claw Dark Edition Mouse is best partnered with ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro gaming keyboard and today, we’re gonna review this keyboard. It’s a mechanical gaming keyboard that I’ve been using for quite some time. So do you want to know more about it? Check out my review of the ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro below.
The ASUS Strix Tactic Pro gaming keyboard is made of plastic as expected. There are no quirky materials on this one, but it’s pretty solid. It’s one of a hell gaming keyboard because it features a lot of Macro keys and normally a keyboard with this number of macro keys would be large and won’t fit on my table but the STRIX Tactic Pro is smaller than I expected and yes, it did fit on my table. Having a smaller gaming keyboard means that it will be more ideal whenever you have smaller space and you can bring it anywhere. But of course, this one is heavy if you’re planning on bringing this somewhere.
Having a good structure on the keyboard is very important not only on typing but also on gaming. The STRIX Tactic Pro features a full-sized QWERTY keyboard with numpads and macro-keys. Yep, that’s a total of 21 Macro keys. There’s an alternative orange WASD keys on the box too which is great for gaming and it’s really easy to remove the key caps.
The STRIX Tactic Pro that I’ve been reviewing features a Cherry MX Red key switches and for those who always play using their keyboard in the dark there’s an orange backlighting on the keyboard (Very helpful when you’re always researching about art films in the middle of the night).
Instead of going rubber, the ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro features a fabric cord with a gold-plated plated connector. One thing that I hate about it is that the USB is too thick and in some cases, the USB connector won’t fit alongside the USB connector of the Strix Claw Dark Edition. Nonetheless, I really like the cord and it’s really good and solid.
If you haven’t typed on a mechanical keyboard before, typing on it is fun and more clicky and springy. And for me, typing on a mechanical keyboard is faster and better than on a normal keyboard. On the ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro, I notice one thing and it’s really something that I hate because most of the time, I tend to double type on a single key even in one stroke. Maybe it’s just me but I always have that mistake whenever I’m typing on the keyboard
Again, the keyboard features 21 Macro keys and 10 of them are placed on the left side of the keyboard while 3 are place below the keyboard and the rest are placed on the F1-F8 keys. This number of macro keys are really great for playing MMOs and MOBAs or whatever games that require you to have a lot of keys.
At the top right, you can see the scrollable volume control along with the multimedia keys. I really love using it and I’m pretty sure I’ll miss it once I return this keyboard. LOL. This multimedia keys works on different applications and you won’t have too much problem with it.
The ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro also works best if you have the software installed with it. In this software, you could map the different macro keys and it’s very user-friendly. You won’t have a hard time figuring out the STRIX software and you could map all macro keys and also set a profile on the 3 shortcut keys. The keyboard also features NKRO that lets you do limitless simultaneous keypresses and also Macro recording.
They ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro gaming keyboard is good but not the best one. Nonetheless, the keyboard is good and I really like its smaller build despite having 21 Macro keys. The ASUS STRIX Tactic Pro is now available nationwide.
