Compact 65% Layout

The ASUS ROG Falchion packs 68 keys into a 60% frame, keeping dedicated arrow and navigation keys for gamers who need a smaller footprint without losing essential controls. Cherry MX RGB Red switches provide linear actuation suited to rapid keystrokes. Per-key RGB lighting and a touch-panel indicator strip are driven by Aura Sync. The board runs on a Li-Ion battery or wired USB 2.0 Type-C.

Dual-Mode Sustained Use

A 2.4 GHz RF link delivers a 1 ms report rate for wireless play, while the braided cable ensures uninterrupted sessions when charging. Battery life reaches up to 450 hours with RGB off, dropping considerably when lighting is active. The keyboard switches seamlessly between wired and wireless modes, so extended raids or work marathons never force a recharge pause.

Install And Common Issues

Plug the USB dongle into a free port, connect the Type-C cable or pair wirelessly, and the keyboard is recognised on Windows 10 without extra drivers. The detachable cable and included extender ease routing. Some users find the touch panel overly sensitive, triggering accidental volume or lighting changes. The compact layout also omits a numeric keypad, which disrupts muscle memory for spreadsheet-heavy workflows.

Up to 450 hours of battery life with RGB lighting off; dual-mode 2.4 GHz RF and wired USB 2.0 Type-C let you keep working while charging.

What ports or adapters must my PC have to use the wireless dongle and wired cable?

A free USB Type-A port for the included dongle and a USB 2.0 Type-C port for the detachable braided cable; a USB extender is also supplied.

Will the 65 % layout and Cherry MX RGB Red switches feel familiar if I keep my full-size board for macros?

The 68-key compact frame keeps dedicated arrow and navigation keys, while German-made Cherry MX RGB Red linear switches give the same actuation feel across both boards.
