"While split keyboards have been around for ages, they don't often venture into the world of gaming. The vast majority offer improved ergonomics and comfort for long days at the office, skipping high-end specs and premium mechanical switches. That's not to say these keyboards aren't capable of double-duty, but limited polling rates and productivity-oriented features mean they typically lack what you'll find on a modern-day gaming keyboard."
"Asus has managed to bring the two worlds together. The ROG Falcata is a split 75 percent keyboard that's fast and comfortable. You get 8,000-Hz wireless polling for super-fast response times, fully-adjustable Hall effect switches, and gaming-focused capabilities like Rapid Trigger and SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Direction) input, alongside multiple ergonomic features. However, the $420 MSRP (and even the common $280 discount) is a steep asking price."
The ROG Falcata merges ergonomic split design with gaming-oriented performance. It uses Hall effect switches that feel smooth with minimal wobble and produce a deep, balanced typing sound. Shorter split space bars normalize spacebar acoustics and well-lubed stabilizers eliminate rattle or stick. The keyboard supports 8,000-Hz wireless polling over 2.4 GHz and includes gaming features such as Rapid Trigger and SOCD input. Multiple adjustability options and robust construction support both comfort and competitive play. The keyboard carries a premium MSRP of $420, often discounted to around $280, making it an expensive choice for a niche audience.
