Our Verdict
Corsair STRAFE RGB MK.2
ASUS ROG Claymore II
The ASUS ROG Claymore II and the Corsair STRAFE RGB MK.2 are both full-sized gaming models, but the ASUS can be used wired and wirelessly, while the Corsair is wired-only. The ASUS has a modular numpad that can be positioned on either side of the board or removed completely if you prefer a TKL size. It has a lower wired latency, and it comes with a plushier wrist-rest. It's available with proprietary linear and clicky ROG RX Optical Mechanical switches. On the other hand, the Corsair has dedicated media keys, and it's available with Cherry MX Red and Silent switches.
