Review: First I would like to add that I brought this for a Asus ... - First I would like to add that I brought this for a Asus ROG setup to compliment Motherboard, Asus Aura Theme! I give it 5 stars! Let me first add there is nothing special about the Mechanical aspect of it as it performs just as well as my $35 wireless on key clicks. I love the detachable wire which comes in handy if you don't want the keyboard to light up when the system is off as it will correspond to the Motherboard Aura which is Awesome I really like that and is an added benefit! I like the size and really don't see myself purchasing the side kick unless I find it online for dirt cheap... as of now I think its like $80. I had some problems with the directional keys but it got resolved when I upgraded the firmware and now works perfectly! It fell and the F1 key completely broke off and made it look horrible with that missing cap as the stem is what snapped. I was able to crazy glue it back together and its strong and looks like new again... however the cap is now stuck to the key, but not a biggie. The ROG claymore software is needed for the upgrading and configuring profiles... but I had to uninstall it as conflicting with Aura Lighting. I guess the trick is to set it up and configuring it with claymore software but then uninstall so Aura will use it at startup to Match all other lighting effects. The Look is awesome... the patterns look good and it does look like you paid over $100 dollars for the design. The weight is great... feels heavy but isn't, it actually feels solid! The cord is thick and strong. As I said I brought this to more match my ROG/Aura theme but its a good keyboard... Review: Throw out your dictionary: "Fully Programmable" does not mean what you think it means - Looks amazing. Sounds great. Responsiveness is so so, I've noticed some slight lag when typing (as compared to Das Keyboard 4 Pro) , but nothing to stress too much about. What is bothering me is the marketing promise of "Fully Programmable" keys. I can reprogram a single key to be another single key, but I cannot reprogram a single key to be a combination keystroke such as [Cntl+Z]. My two Corsairs can do it, and it they were half the cost. The term "Fully Programmable" should not be a term I need seek a definition on. This is not a fully programmable situation. But if you don't care about that sort of stuff, you'll probably love it. ## Features - ASUS ROG Claymore Core Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is made of German Cherry MX Red switches that offer faster response time, enhanced gaming performance & maximum satisfaction with each keystroke.

My first with mechanical keys, so it's a new experience, but it's a good one. It's hard to gauge key pressure when watching reviews and not actually going to a local store to try things. I opted for browns because they seem to have the lightest pressure of the cherry mx switches, but add the tactile feedback the reds don't offer. Been great for typing and gaming. A bit more noise than my old Microsoft Sidewinder, but that's expected. RGB effects are fun. I enjoy the default rainbow effect across the keyboard. I really like that you can custom color every single key, individually if you want to. It means I can set keys to different colors for easy recognition / reference when gaming. Unfortunately I can't get any of the settings to save. Any time my computer reboots it loses every setting. Even after waking from "sleep" state I have to go back into the ROG Armoury application and click on all my settings again to get them to turn on. I don't have to reset all of them after "sleep", but it's still more work than simply clicking on which configuration I want to use. Thus far I haven't been able to find anything online suggesting how this can be fixed. No updates from ASUS yet which indicate they address this issue. Not sure if it's due to Windows 10 or something else. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/37910231-asus-rgb-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-m802-rog-claymore-core-cherry](https://www.desertcart.us/products/37910231-asus-rgb-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-m802-rog-claymore-core-cherry) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
