EDIT: Apparently everyone finds it ugly. :'( I guess I find ugly then.

 

 

[Recon97]

Fixed it for you

 

 

Also, no wrist wrest.... so screw that

​What I see:

[Faceman]

My only reservation is that the LEDs are not changeable.

[Geekazoid]

Not sure why no body has covered this as they are simply sexy as fudge.

I hate to say it, but it's as ugly as fudge. Looks like something out of Star Trek.

[askmax]

Because Asus products are starting to get ridiculous, the put ROG or Strix on the product and then mark it up 20-30% because of the name. Fuck it.

[Mooshi]

ROG is red and Strix is going to be orange? Not a fan of that "gaming" style, but I do like the concept behind the "Strix" moniker since owls are p. badass.

[WereCat]

Looks OK I guess but why the hell it has orange backlight? It won't even match ASUS own black/red color scheme.

[mach]

I like the orange lighting much

but God it's hideous

How hard can it be to use a sensible font?

And the shape....not all gamers like the "gamer bling", it's just so childish and goofy

Cooler master realised that and their keyboards are more elegant now

After years of watching the pioneers work in the keyboard market and Asus comes up with this

[HerEscutcheon]

Needs a white backlight.

[Guest]

Man I really dislike the Strix designs :\  Shame because they have a lot of features I desire.

[Kukielka]

I thought Strix was all about silence / performance. Why even advertising Cherry MX Blue switches?

[EChondo]

Cool, another tramp stamp. 

[Geekazoid]

On title: No, they are not. Butt ugly crap.

Precisely sir!

[Semper]

I'd have to agree with the majority here. Not visually appealing in any way.

Not having a wrist rest, as ShadowCaptain said, is a deal breaker in its own right.

You could build the perfect keyboard, make it look beautiful, give it all the functions you could ever need, make it indestructible, if it has no wrist rest, it's no deal.

(inb4: standalone wrist rests never work quite right)

Exactly I mean for a typist using correct posture, they would not use a wrist rest as the wrist should not be in contact with the keyboad

 

but for a gamer using WASD, for a long period, a wrist rest is a 100% necessity 

[El_indian]

groce....the card looks nice though.

[mr moose]

Apart from the 10 macro keys on the left does it actually offer anything usable that makes it worth the price?

 

 

P.S I think it's fugly too.

[-TesseracT-]

I don't like it...

[Psykomantis00]

Lol what a fail. I know for sure I won't be getting it. That thing is gross. 

[Octagoncow]

I wouldn't say it's ugly, but it is very 'in your face' which doesn't sit well with me.

[PokémonTrainerFour]

looks disgusting with the shape but i would love those keys in place of the things on the G910.

 

thinking about preordering the latter
