At the heart of the Falchion Ace HFX lies ROG HFX Magnetic Switches, Rapid Trigger technology, and an ultra-fast 8000Hz polling rate, all engineered to give professional gamers the competitive edge they need. Measuring just 315mm, the compact design provides all the features of a full-sized keyboard while saving significant desk space, ideal for minimalist setups.
ROG HFX Magnetic Switches
The Falchion Ace HFX is equipped with pre-lubed ROG HFX Magnetic Switches, which promise unparalleled precision and durability. These high-quality switches, made with POM plastic and PC plastic, are built to last for 100 million key presses, ensuring peak performance even in the most intense gaming scenarios.
The switches feature a walled stem design, which enhances stability and prevents dust accumulation. What sets these switches apart is their customisable actuation point, adjustable from 0.1mm to 4.0mm, giving gamers total control over the sensitivity of their keypresses. Adjustments can be made through the rear-mounted multifunction button, a touch panel, or via the Armoury Crate or Armoury Crate Gear software, ensuring a personalised gaming experience.
These cutting-edge features make the ROG Falchion Ace HFX a formidable choice for gamers looking for both durability and fine-tuned control.
Rapid Trigger and Speed Tap Technology
Designed specifically for high-speed gaming, the Falchion Ace HFX introduces Rapid Trigger technology, allowing the switch to reset instantly when it moves upward. This enables faster, more fluid movements, crucial for fast-paced gameplay such as first-person shooters (FPS).
The keyboard also features Speed Tap mode, designed for players who frequently strafe in FPS games. When two opposing directional keys are pressed, Speed Tap prioritises the last input, eliminating any delay for counter-strafing. This feature ensures immediate directional changes, giving players an edge in competitive environments.
These features, along with the ability to customise actuation points, make the Falchion Ace HFX a powerful tool for competitive gamers who rely on precise, responsive movements.
8000Hz Polling Rate for Maximum Responsiveness
To enhance performance further, the ROG Falchion Ace HFX is equipped with an 8000Hz polling rate, a feature that significantly reduces input lag to just 0.125 milliseconds. This ensures the keyboard registers inputs eight times faster than standard gaming keyboards, giving gamers an undeniable advantage in high-speed, reaction-based games.
With an emphasis on extreme responsiveness, this feature is invaluable for gamers who need every millisecond to count, whether in intense multiplayer sessions or precision-driven solo campaigns.
Enhanced Comfort and Design Versatility
Despite its cutting-edge performance, the ROG Falchion Ace HFX is also designed for maximum comfort. The keyboard incorporates five dampening layers (two PORON and three silicone) which help absorb vibrations and reduce noise, offering a quieter and more comfortable typing experience.
The keyboard’s versatile design includes dual USB-C ports, allowing easy switching between two PCs. For added portability, it features a protective cover that also functions as a tray mount, perfect for gamers on the go. Additionally, the keyboard comes with two pairs of adjustable feet, offering three different tilt angles to suit every user’s preferred typing position.
With a comprehensive set of features aimed at both performance and comfort, the ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX is poised to redefine what gamers expect from a compact, high-performance gaming keyboard. The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX will be available for S$309 starting in October 2024.
