ASUS - ROG Falcata 75% Wireless Magnetic Hall Effect RGB Ergonomic Gaming Keyboard with Hot-Swappable ROG HFX V2 Switches - Black

The keyboard's comprehensive feature set is impressive, encompassing Hall effect switches, rapid trigger, speed tap, and an 8000Hz wireless polling rate. The split keyboard design enhances user comfort, a feature that quickly becomes indispensable. The build quality is of a high standard. A notable advantage is the minimal reliance on Armoury Crate, with driver updates being its primary function, while Gear link provides alternative configuration options. While some users have noted a sharpness in the space bar design, this does not appear to be a universal experience. This keyboard is highly recommended for consideration.

Such a great keyboard. I love the fact that I can adjust the angles howver I want, whenever I want. The pain I've had with my wrists is going away using this keyboard. I love the fact that you can adjust the trigger points (I'm no FPS gamer), but allows me to adjust the typing experience how I want it. Quiet clicks too! I recommend only getting it on sale though, the MSRP is a bit steep.

There really isnt another keyboard that is 75%, wireless, and split. Thats what I was looking for. I needed something also with light keys since my work is like 95% typing. Stiffer, harder switches causes fatigue for me. This keyboard is great for me bc it meets all those things I wanted. It was definitely more expensive than I wanted to pay, but im happy with the keyboard in the end and it saves my wrists and fingers from pain.

First, as much everyone else hate the armory crate, I hate the gear link as well, as it never saves ur setting, everytime i try to make a change and save, it automatically reverse it back a few seconds later. Without a always on 8Khz input, the battery saving mode(even tho I'm always using it wired), has significantly way more input latency compared to a normal 8khz mechanical keyboard(like their own strix flare II animate I'm using together). Also, the wired connection is not stable sometimes, everytime I start/restart my PC, there's a chance it doesnt recognize the keyboard(im using a rog X870E Crosshair Hero motherboard, it would recognize all my other ROG peripherals, just not this one sometimes). And per HE magnetic keyswitches, they feel extremely mushy, and even worse than those Kailh red/gateron white linear switches, just subpar typing experiences even in games. In Wuthering Waves, an action combat RPG, it's so hard to realize if a key is sucessfully pressed or not... So far i wouldn't recommend it, and probably not the upcoming Azoth HE 96 which uses the same switches. The worst part is that this switch, ROG specifically co-designed with TTC, that is so limited in terms of functions(comapred to Kailh and Gateron HEs, heck, even Glorious HE with the click bar is better than this).

The ASUS ROG Falcata 75 came nicely packaged, mostly cardboard, which I like, with everything inside wrapped neatly and organized. You get the two keyboard halves, detachable silicone wrist rests, a few different cables, a dongle extender, and a USB-C adapter. There are even some cool stickers. Right away you can tell this isn’t just another keyboard. The box is heavy, the parts are heavy, and it all feels solid before you even plug it in. Setup did require a few different steps and the documentation was not very helpful with tiny print and confusing diagrams, but you should be able to get it figured out. Luckily, the keyboard is pretty much plug-and-play with the included dongle and/or cable. To connect via Bluetooth you do need to read that part of the instructions, which tell you to hold the function key and the number seven at the same time for 3 seconds, but it doesn’t say you need to hold the function key on the right keypad, which took me a few tries to figure out. Other than Bluetooth you can connect using the dongle, or the included long USB-C cable. ASUS included multiple cable lengths, 2 for connecting the keyboard halves and 1 for charging and connecting to the computer. I do wish one of the cables to connect the 2 halves was extra long so you could really spread the halves out, like even running them onto chair armrests for the ultimate comfort setup, but I don’t think they’d work with a cable that long. The main selling point is the split design. That’s the feature that makes this keyboard stand out. You can angle the halves however you like, give your mouse more space, and line up your wrists in a way that feels way more natural than a standard board. Gaming with WASD feels great because I can push the right side back and keep the left side close. Typing on a split keyboard does take some practice, but honestly, I’ve been waiting for something like this for years, and I picked it up quickly. When I was younger, and learning to type, I used to practice with pretend keypads in each hand, now that’s real! This is my first Hall Effect keyboard and it’s going to take some getting used to. The keys are extra sensitive.. If you brush against them, you’ll trigger inputs you didn’t mean to. You have to type with your fingers at attention. Sloppy typing won’t cut it here. But once you get the feel for it, the switches are smooth, fast, and accurate. Rapid Trigger and Speed Tap are absolute game-changer features for gaming. They make inputs fire quicker than any other keyboard I’ve ever used. If you’re into competition and shaving off those last milliseconds, this is the tech that gives you the edge. The Gear Link software is another big win. You don’t download anything, you just open it in your browser. Ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing. Change your lighting, remap your keys, set macros, or adjust actuation points right there. It’s simple, clean, and it works. Honestly, I wish every brand did it this way. Not only is the Falcata a standout gaming keyboard, I think it’s going to work great for daily use. The build quality is top tier. Aluminum on top, solid plastic underneath, no flex issues, just pure stability. It feels extremely solid. The control hub feels great with its scroll wheel and button, and the LED sidebar that lights up when you’re adjusting volume or lighting is a cool little touch. The battery life has been excellent too. I’ve been using it daily with RGB on, and it feels like it just goes forever without needing a charge. The lights are so fun to watch and really make my whole setup feel more immersive somehow. The wrist rests are smooth and comfortable, and I like that they’re detachable for easy cleaning. The overall design is sleek, all-black with RGB that pops, and it looks awesome on my desk.. Just a few nitpicks: I’m going to miss having a number pad since I use the 10-key often, but hopefully I’ll get used to working w/o it. The home row bumps could stick out a bit more for finger placement, they feel pretty smooth, and I wish the halves connected w/o the cable. Overall, this is just an awesome keyboard. Expensive, yes, but if you want a premium build, cutting-edge switches, split ergonomic design, and features that give you a true advantage in gaming, this is it. Perfect for competitive gamers, tech lovers who want something flashy and different, or anyone who just wants a keyboard that feels as premium as it looks and is.
