Fantastic Keyboard

The Falchion RX Low Profile is an interesting keyboard. While it is a part of the ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) sub-brand, it has plenty of features for the non-gaming audience too.

ROG has opted for a silver and white chassis that is refreshing, modern and looks excellent as a centrepiece on your table – especially when RGB lighting is switched on. There’s also a black version, but it does not look like ASUS has made this model available in Singapore.

I am pleasantly surprised by how sturdy and solid the Falchion RX feels. There’s no noticeable deck flex; a rarity for a low-profile keyboard of this size. This is thanks to a top metal plate that also comes engraved with a “Republic of Gamers” insignia to add a bit of style.

This also gives it a bit of weight and heft, which ironically for a portable keyboard may seem undesirable for some, but I thought it gives the Falchion RX a premium touch. Flipping the keyboard over reveals a ridged underside that’s similar to last year’s excellent ROG Azoth. There are two adjustable dual-level feet that offer ergonomic flexibility for your wrists, catering to those who prefer a raised typing angle to type comfortably if the natural slant doesn’t work out.
