Great for day to day usage, be careful about chosing swiches brown or red as switches are not hot swappable

I absolutely love this keyboard. It is so much better than typing on my laptop keyboard all day. My son picked it out for me after doing lots of research to make sure that the keys weren’t going to be too noisy on conference calls. The keyboard is also small enough to slip into my bag for the days I need to go into the office.

Finally what I was looking for in a keyboard, good build quality, attractive, and impressive battery considering the size. If you are looking for a 60 percent backlit keyboard that has good wireless functionality and attractive aesthetics with great build quality I would reccomend. Additionally the software (which isnt required) is mercifully easy to use and lightweight compared to something like ICUE which is pure trash

I switched to the 60%-65% layouts after wanting to reclaim my desk space from using a full size keyboard. The ROG Falchion does a great job of giving me space on my desk, and providing a great typing experience without compromising on the additional controls typical 60% layouts remove. I’d actually go so far as to say this is about as good as keyboards get without going the custom route.

The keyboard uses Cherry red switches, and they work well, are fast and slick, and although my personal preference is for a more antisocial clicky switch, I have found the typing experience to be an absolute delight on this keyboard, once I got used to the linear switches and the lower actuation force. The customisable slider on the side is an interesting alternative to keyboards with rotary switches, and although I would like to be able to switch the functionality of the control to more things, its really good to have something to act as a volume control on the keyboard.

Its absolutely great to have this keyboard in a UK layout. That means no running around trying to find backspace (useful when you need to access network shares) and all the buttons are exactly where you need them to be. It also means we get a full height enter key. Its great to have the key navigation keys on there too. Dedicated cursors makes a huge difference to a lot of text based activities such as coding and navigating round a spreadsheet.

Customisation is done through the Armoury Crate application, and it works pretty well. Although there is an option for custom lighting, I avoid it as having separate lighting configured for the keyboard layers makes it easier to tell them apart. There are five customisable layers on this keyboard, and what I have done is setup layers with certain keyboard shortcuts and to run certain programs that I commonly use, making them easy to get to without going through the start menu. The RGB is bright and clear, but easily adjusted to be less intense, and RGB modes can be switched temporarily with the keyboard controls.

I have seen some people have issues with Alt+function key presses, but this is easily remedied by using the left alt key instead of the right (right alt would technically be AltGr, not Alt anyway).

Overall, this is not a cheap keyboard, its definitely a premium product, and although not perfect, its the one that is closest to my ideal keyboard that I have found and the only way I will get everything I want is to go the full custom route and spend about three times the price. At that point, I’ll take almost perfect, which is pretty much how I would describe the ROG Falchion.

Good quality, expensive for what it sells, latency free gaming Cherry Reds mechanical keyboard (UK only gets Cherry Reds at the time of this review), it’s small ergonomic size makes it great,

However, the side panel that is its unique selling point, isn’t working as it should, when I try to change the volume the volume will change after 5-10 seconds, there’s a massive delay and sometimes it will randomly change the volume. So really, I would say the main selling point of this device is really just that it’s one of the very very few wireless mechanical keyboards that uses USB receivers rather than USB, so it works perfect for wireless gaming.

So far so good, not quite used to the reduced layout but I will soon adapt. Love the volume control slider on the side and the whole thing fits nicely in the side of my laptop bag

This keyboard has the perfect size to be the best small keyboard. I’ve had other 60% like the Anne Pro 2 and the Hunstman Mini which felt really cramped and typing was strange. I hated typing on the Hunstman Mini because the keys were too close to each others. This Asus keyboard have some spacing between keys which is really necessary imo for typing. It has the best RGP on a keyboard and comes with tons of features like the side sound volume feature. Also. this is the only 60% keyboard (that I know of) that comes with the arrow keys on the right which was one of the reasons for me to buy this, hence it is just a few mm longer than the Huntsman Mini. Build quality wise, is the best I’ve tried on a keyboard. Very sturdy and elegant.

So, what are the cons of this keyboard? It wobbles just a little bit. Huntsman Mini wobbled worse than this. I’ve tried this on different straight surfaces and the wobble was the same. One last thing to say, while this keyboard has 3rd party keys, the Red Cherry, I am not a fan of Cherry’s keys. I much much prefer Razer’s keys. The Huntsman Mini with Linear keys has the best keys on any keyboard. They are very good to type on. So, let’s hope that we see more companies implement what Razer’s did by making their own keys because let’s think about it, if companies use 3rd party keys, then all keyboards will be partially identical right?
