ASUS has expanded its keyboard lineup with the introduction of the ROG Ranger 2 series wired mechanical keyboard, a successor to their wireless version. The new keyboard is expected to offer advanced features and a competitive price point, aiming to provide a more affordable option for consumers. The keyboard is set to go on sale on September 9th, but its pricing information has not been revealed yet.
ASUS ROG Ranger 2 wired mechanical keyboard key features:
The redesigned ROG Ranger 2 keyboard features a built-in sound-absorbing foam in the bottom to decrease noise, minimize vibrations, and deliver a quieter and smoother keystroke experience.
The notable feature of the ROG Ranger 2 keyboard is the multifunctional knob switch, which combines aesthetics with practicality by allowing quick adjustments such as volume control. ASUS has also introduced extra shortcut keys to expand instant functionality options. The keyboards feature a detachable cable design for added convenience.
The keyboard allows users to choose between the RX optical switch and the NX mechanical switch, providing flexibility for personalized typing preferences.
The RX optical switch features an X-structure stabilizer, a fixed base at four corners, and a distinctive square volcano-shaped opening. This design reduces keycap wobbling and enhances stability. The RX switch is available in red and blue variants. The RX Red offers a linear feel with 1.5mm key travel and 45g actuation force, while the RX Blue provides a tactile response with an initial 30g force that increases to 65g. If you don’t know what is actuation force, it refers to the amount of pressure or weight required to press a key on a mechanical keyboard switch and register a keypress.
The NX mechanical switch comes in two options: Snowblade White and Blizzard Gray. Snowblade White provides a lighter tactile feel with 45g actuation force and 3.6mm key travel, while Blizzard Gray offers a crisp feel with 40g initial force and the same 3.6mm key travel.
