Our Verdict
Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro
ASUS ROG Claymore II
The Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro and the ASUS ROG Claymore II are both full-size wireless gaming keyboards, but the Razer is better overall. The Razer feels better built, and it has much lower latency, especially wirelessly. Also, it supports Bluetooth, and you can pair it with up to three devices at once. It's available with clicky Razer Green and linear Razer Yellow switches. On the other hand, the ASUS has a USB passthrough and a modular numpad, which you can put on either side of the board or remove completely to make it a TKL size. The ASUS is wireless, but it can connect through its USB receiver only. It's available with clicky ROG RX Blue Optical Mechanical switches and linear ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical switches.
