Customer Ratings & Reviews

Top quality keyboard, a little on the expensive side but wait for it to go on sale. Splits into two and has mini space bars. Very useful switches for snap tap/SOCD and can switch off and off anytime with ease.

This is a really nice gaming keyboard. Sounds and feels excellent with rapid trigger for super fast key presses. Not sure if I'm better but I do feel like I am over my old clunky keyboard.

The ASUS ROG Falcata is a standout premium gaming keyboard that pushes boundaries with its innovative split 75% design, wireless Hall Effect technology, and top-tier performance features.

Split layout was a lot to get used to, I don't regret it. But the true star of the show here is the Hall Effect switches. Truly a gamechanger for me.

This keyboard is a cool but also very co fusing at the start I would honestly recommend to loom up a YouTube video first before you buy it

Pretty cool performs well. Split layout will take some time getting used to especially since my right hand wants to hit the b key but it's on the left side of the board.

I was looking for a hall effect gaming keyboard but didnt want to give the ergonomics of my tented board. Waited for this to release and it did not disappoint

Wonderful keybord for gaming really useful for clone hero/guitar hero

This is my first time using an ergonomic keyboard, and my wrists feel so much better using it! It's also nice that it has hall-effect switches and gaming features. The 2.4ghz wireless with 8k polling is super responsive and the connection is great. Battery life is also superb!

The ASUS ROG Falcata is not your typical gaming keyboard, blending performance, ergonomics, adaptive technology, and accessibility. I originally chose this keyboard because of its split design, hoping to place each half on either side of my laptop for a more natural typing experience. I discovered that the halves require a proprietary USB connection to function, and unfortunately the cables are a bit too short for me to achieve my goal. I hope ASUS will release a longer cable in the future. That being my only “complaint,” this keyboard is practically perfect. Build Quality/Design: This keyboard is built like a tank! It’s built from premium materials, feels sturdy, and is surprisingly heavy for its size. And unlike other ergonomic keyboards I’ve tried, the Falcata does not require you to conform to the ergonomics of their design. Not only can you adjust the height, you can adjust the angle, pitch, and yaw of each half, thanks to the provided keyboard feet. The split design also allows you to adjust the rotation of the keyboard. You decide what is most comfortable for YOU, not the designer. The keyboard adapts to your needs not the other way around! Typing Experience: The Magnetic Hall Effect switches are smooth, slightly clicky, and very responsive. One feature that really stood out is the ability to adjust the attenuation for each key independently allowing me to fine-tune the amount of force/actuation required to register keystrokes. Battery Life and Connectivity: The battery life (so far) has been outstanding. I have logged at least 80 hours of use after my initial charge and the keyboard is currently holding at 28% with RGB turned on. This keyboard allows multiple connection options, wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4g dongle. I tried all three options and each performed flawlessly. Not once did I experience any latency, dropouts, or paring issues. Bonus features: -Configuration is handled via web application. No need to install additional software to configure. -RGB Lighting compliments my other ASUS RGB components. -Hot-swappable keys – I did not have a need to swap out keys, as the magnetic switches have fit my needs so far. -Portability – The split design fits perfectly in my backpack allowing me to transport between home and office without any issues. I would have liked to see ASUS highlight portability by providing a nice protective case… Maybe a future accessory (wink)… Adaptive use potential: This keyboard has real potential for users with adaptive needs. The split design alone lends itself well to single-handed users, and the per-key attenuation provides a huge benefit to those with limited finger strength. These two features combined with the ergonomic flexibility make it a very strong candidate for a multitude of adaptive/accessibility focused applications. Improvement opportunities: The length of the proprietary cable limits flexibility and placement options. A longer or non-proprietary cable, or dual wireless option would elevate this already exceptional keyboard and open up a multitude of applications. Final Thoughts: The ASUS ROG Falcata is nearly perfect ergonomic keyboard thanks to its innovative design, configurability, adaptability, and precision. ASUS definitely raised the bar when it comes to ergonomic keyboards! With that said, I would, without hesitation recommend this keyboard.

It’s ok……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Great build quality and customizability! Will be my main keyboard

Good price. Love the way it looks and how it feels in my hands.

Absolutely love getting this keyboard, the feel is amazing and being able to get half a keyboard is awesome!

Good product! And affordable prices, you should try it!

This is an Amazing (with a capital A) high end keyboard. From the moment you pick up the (hefty) box, you can tell you’re dealing with a premium piece of kit - which is exactly what you’d expect coming from ASUS and their ROG lineup. The first thing you notice when you pick up the keyboard is the quality of the package and the rather high end weight to the package. When you unwrap the keyboard, it quickly becomes clear that it’s well-built and should prove to be highly durable. The keyboard itself has a good weight to it and the removable mouse rests add even more (they’re very comfy though. The keyboard can be use put together a normal keyboard OR can split entirely into two pieces to be used more comfortable two handed in gaming (hence the connecting cable). Of course there is RGB and you can control the show through the ASUS software but the real magic in this keyboard are in the switches and what you can do with them. The switches here use a magnetic Hall effect sensor. This allows them to have an ADJUSTABLE (in software) actuation point. So you can tailor the keys to go from a “hair trigger” to require a deeper press/weight. Regardless of where you put your actuation point, the typing experience is top notch, comfortable and quiet (thanks to the Hall effect switches and padding for the keys). So if you’re looking for a top tier keyboard that performs amazingly well, look no further - this is the keyboard for you. Give it a try today!

Overview: This keyboard is very versatile. The smaller size makes it a clean addition to your setup and makes it very portable too especially since it has several modes for connectivity like via usb, wireless, or Bluetooth. The overall build quality and design is very impressive too. And the RGB coloration is very nice. The customization is very good as well and I’m sure people will find that to be a very nice feature. The build quality is superb. It feels metallic and premium. The “hold” when you put both keyboards together feel a little weak though so don’t expect to move it around when it’s connected together without just moving one keyboard and leaving the other. The switches themselves feel very linear. There’s not a “push back” where you feel the key register at least for me. But you can customize when the keys register and what not easily through the keyboard itself with the buttons to the left and the scroll wheel. I feel like that’s a great feature especially for competitive games. This keyboard packs a lot and it needed to because of the price point but the features it brings along makes the price seem reasonable.

This keyboard is a good shape. But if you don’t like working with to hands different keyboard at the same time this keyboard isn’t for you.

Pro: -Great feeling keys -Web based software -Customizability -Battery life Con: -Link cable gets in the way The Falcata is definitely a niche keyboard, but if you happen to fall into that niche, it’s a great keyboard. It’s made to be either a full feature keyboard or as a gaming keypad. The build quality is completely solid. The keys feel great to type on, with more of a light sounding thonk. The keycaps have almost no wobble. It’s a little strange to have that split down the middle, especially for the space bar, but it was easy to adjust to it. There’s no software installation needed since it’s all web based, and most of the features can be adjusted on the keyboard directly. The build quality feels very solid. The keyboard splits down the middle and is held together with magnets. There’s a USB C connection for the link cable, and another one for the charging. The link cable sticks up from the top and doesn’t look very neat, and also can get in the way. The keyboard comes with additional feet to adjust the tilt, or even making it angled sideways. The palmrest seems over engineered in my opinion. They are attached to these triangle plates that you then screw on to the keyboard. I guess they want you to be able to lift the keyboard by the palmrest and also be able to customize the feet underneath? It’s a little cumbersome initially, but it’s super solid once it’s set. The multiwheel can be used to adjust volume, lighting, and actuation point. The wheel can be hard to scroll and I usually end up clicking on it instead. Each sub category has a meter indicating the levels of adjustment. It’s a little confusing so I’d rather use Gear Link to adjust all the settings, but it’s good to be able to adjust the settings directly on the keyboard. There’s a lot of features to talk about. Aside from being able to adjust the actuation point on a per key basis, the Rapid Trigger and Speed Tap can be a game changer for fast reaction and movements. The Rapid Trigger allows the keys to be activated on the up travel, making it quicker to respond to the next press. It’s like you’re taking half steps while strafing. Speed Tap lets you activate a second key while the first is still being held down. For instance, pressing D while holding A will make you move right rather than stopping. Both of these features can be adjusted per key as well with the Gear Link app. Gear Link is a browser based control center for the keyboard, and it’s a great idea. No more installing rarely used apps running in the background. All you need is to open the link and connect your keyboard. You can adjust the key assignments for each key, assign the Fn buttons, set the actuation points and triggers, adjust the lighting, and the multiwheel actions. I think every brand should start doing this and do away with the bloat software installations. Battery life is great so far. It’s said to last 90 hours of use. I’ve used this for over a week as my daily keyboard and it still has 40% remaining. The idle time can be adjusted to conserve battery life even more. How much this keyboard works for you will depend on your needs. If you only need the keys for movement, then being able to just use half the keyboard is like using a gaming keypad and leaves more room for the mouse. One annoyance is if you need to actually type, then you’ll have to move the other half into place and out the way again. Another use I can see using half a keyboard for is with art or video applications, if you’re willing to set up custom keys. It would work as a shortcut pad without taking up space. So far I’m liking it since I fall into that niche group that was looking for something like this.

I have been using the new Asus ROG Falcata for a couple weeks now. I have been debating on how to review it as it is a very niche product. This is a not just a normal gaming keyboard as it splits in two section to allow for better placement of keys to the natural placement of your hands. Let's call it an ergonomic, gaming keyboard. First off, it is a 75% keyboard which is naturally smaller as it eliminates the 10-keypad and compresses arrow keys into the layout. I am a touch typist and I will tell you right now that the split takes some serious getting used to for normal use. I generally have to combine the two sides to type on it and split it back a part to play games. Maybe that is the intent all along and maybe if I typed on it longer split apart I would just get used to it, but since I have other computers I use on a daily basis this feels very one-off. The keys themselves feel great and the hall-effect switches are adjustable in software which makes this keyboard ideal for gaming. You can really dial in the 'feel' you need. Couple the hall-effect switches with the 8000hz polling rate and you have a very competitive keyboard. It is fast... very fast. Build quality is also top notch and it does not feel like a toy in the slightest. It is beefy and highly dampened to keep it quiet. Battery life is generally good with the lights off and or dropping the polling rate. I found the best combination when playing games was keep the polling rate up and the lights off. I only charge it twice in the last couple weeks which is a nice improvement from some of my other wireless keyboards that basically just have to be wired most of the time. Overall, I don't have any real complaints as it serves a very niche purpose of being a competitive/pro level gaming keyboard. If that is what you need then this should be on your short list. If you are looking for something a little more productive oriented, the Falcata will do the job, but given its price you can probably do better for less. The Falcata's ability of splitting into two sections is a neat trick, but only useful in very specific situations (i.e. gaming). I like it, but I don't love it.
