ASUS ROG Falchion Ace, DE

Da wären wir also: Gleich die erste 65-Prozent-Tastatur, die ich zum Testen hier habe, bekehrt mich beinahe komplett zu diesem neuen Formfaktor. Bisher hielt ich “tenkeyless” noch für das Maß aller Dinge, jetzt vermisse ich plötzlich aber so gut wie gar nichts mehr und habe in der Breite noch einmal fünf und in der Höhe vier Zentimeter gespart. Vor allem aber schließe zwei Geräte gleichzeitig an – ein Feature, wie für mich gemacht. Wer auf Direktzugriff auf F-Tasten, einen USB-Hub und anderen Sondertasten-Schmonz verzichten kann, wird sich bei der Falchion gut aufgehoben fühlen.

Today we put the ROG Falchion Ace HFX to the test—a 65% form factor keyboard that is available in a few different layouts and languages to further appeal to many who are tired of seeing their preferred keyboards only come in US ANSI. The smaller size also makes this a more specialized set, more ideal for gaming with room left on the desk for a larger mouse pad, for example. This is an update to the original ROG Falchion we saw in 2021, which was also a 65% keyboard for those wondering. We see some things have remained the same, including tiny bezels and of course RGB backlighting, yet the new Falchion Ace HFX does a lot more to ensure you don't miss out on some features. Expect to see knobs, multi-function sliders, neatly hidden indicator lights, and of course magnetic switch features including rapid trigger and a speed tap mode too. I will also mention that the ROG Falchion Ace HFX does a good job distinguishing itself from pretty much any other Hall effect keyboard we've seen to date too, if only with some cleverly integrated functions that you look at and wonder why no one else thought of them! Let's not waste more time then, and begin the review with a look at the product specifications in the table below. Thanks to ASUS for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp!
