ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has unveiled its latest innovation in gaming peripherals, the Falchion Ace HFX. Designed for gamers who demand precision, speed, and customization, this 65% wired analogue keyboard is packed with cutting-edge features, including ROG HFX Magnetic Switches and an ultra-fast 8000Hz polling rate, setting a new benchmark for competitive gaming keyboards.
Compact, Yet Fully Functional
The Falchion Ace HFX incorporates arrow and navigation keys into its compact 65% layout. At just 315mm long, it saves valuable desktop space while offering all the essential functions of a full-sized keyboard, making it a perfect choice for gamers who crave both performance and minimalism.
ROG HFX Magnetic Switches for Maximum Customization
Equipped with pre-lubed magnetic switches, the Falchion Ace HFX provides a responsive and smooth keystroke experience. With a 100 million keystroke lifespan, these switches are built for durability. The standout feature is its customizable actuation range (0.1 – 4.0mm), allowing gamers to fine-tune their keypress sensitivity for different gaming styles or typing tasks. The easy-to-access rear multifunction button and touch panel enable effortless control of these settings.
Rapid Trigger & Speed Tap Modes: A Gamer’s Best Ally
The Rapid Trigger technology resets the switch immediately after release, enabling quick and accurate strafing, a vital feature for FPS gamers. Additionally, Speed Tap Mode prioritizes the last directional input when two keys are pressed, making it ideal for counter-strafing and eliminating input delay for directional changes during intense gameplay.
8000Hz Polling Rate: Speed Redefined
The 8000Hz polling rate ensures that the Falchion Ace HFX delivers a blazing 0.125ms response time—up to 8X faster than standard gaming keyboards, drastically reducing input lag and giving gamers the speed advantage they need.
Comfort Meets Performance
The Falchion Ace HFX is engineered for comfort with a five-layer dampening system—two PORON® and three silicone layers—that absorb key vibrations and minimize noise for a cushioned typing experience. Its dual USB-C® ports provide flexibility for switching between two PCs, while the protective cover doubles as a tray mount. Additionally, users can adjust the keyboard’s ergonomic tilt with three height settings to match their preferred typing posture.
The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX will be available in October 2024 in Malaysia.
