Compact 65% Form Factor

Arrow and navigation keys are expertly incorporated into a 65% keyboard layout on the ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX. It is actually nearly the same size as a 60% keyboard, at only 315 mm in length. Save desktop space while still having access to all the features of a standard keyboard.

ROG HFX Magnetic Switches

The newest pre-lubricated magnetic switches from ROG are designed to feel robust, work incredibly fast and precisely, and last up to 100 million keystrokes.

When using the ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX, please keep it away from magnetic objects. Reconnect the keyboard after removing the magnetic components if there are any problems.

Top Housing

To guarantee smooth keystrokes, the PC top housing has highly polished stem contact surfaces.

Stem Design

While remaining compatible with the majority of keycaps, the walled stem design improves keystroke stability and guards against dust infiltration.

Stem Material

Composed of a low-friction composite POM material enabling fluid typing.

Based Housing

Deeper keystroke sound with POM bottom casing.

Customizable Actuation Point

To accommodate all typing preferences, the ROG HFX Magnetic Switches have an adjustable actuation range of 0.1 to 4.0 mm. Armoury Crate software or the multi-function button and touch panel can be used to adjust the actuation point.

Rapid Trigger

• For the fastest typing response and key repeat rate, the ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX Rapid Trigger feature is activated by a dedicated toggle switch located on the top-right rear panel. When this functionality is enabled, only WASD keys are enabled by default. Armoury Crate can be used to activate Rapid Trigger for additional keys.
• Conventional mechanical switches need to be reset before the subsequent click is detected. The switch rapidly resets as it moves upward with ROG HFX Magnetic Switches and the Rapid Trigger function, providing maximal counter-strafing capability with the least amount of effort.

Speed Tap Mode

When in Speed Tap (SOCD) mode, the system will prioritize the latest input and automatically release the preceding one as soon as it detects the input of two keys (for example, A and D). This implies that in first-person shooter games, the character will no longer stop moving while two opposing directional buttons are pressed. Rather of allowing counter-strafing to occur, directional adjustments can now be made instantly without releasing the preceding key, guaranteeing accurate aim each and every time.

8000 Hz Polling Rate

With an 8000 Hz polling rate provided by a high-speed USB microcontroller, input is refreshed up to 8 times quicker than with other gaming keyboards, cutting down on latency from 1 millisecond to just 0.125 ms.

Intuitive Controls

You may customize commands and adjust a number of settings, including as keyboard lighting, actuation point, media playing, and volume, using an interactive touch panel and a multi-function button. Furthermore, dynamic lighting effects are displayed via the LED lighting bar above the keyboard to reflect changes in real time.

Five-Layer Dampening and Gasket Mount
