SeekerASUS ROG Claymore II
The ASUS ROG Claymore II is excellent for gaming. It has low latency, a low pre-travel distance, customizable RGB backlighting, and you can set macros to any key on the board. It feels well built, and it comes with a detachable plushy wrist rest. You can place its modular numpad on the left or right side of the board, and you can even remove it completely to turn the board into a TKL size. Unfortunately, the ROG RX Blue Optical Mechanical switches require some force to actuate, which may cause them to feel heavy.

The Asus ROG Claymore II is a great gaming keyboard for who wants to cut cables and customise their keyboard, both in terms of hardware and software. Its modular design is clever, the switches feel pretty decent overall, and it offers an excellent gaming experience. Price is likely to be an issue for most, but if you have the money to burn, this is one of the best options available.
