"As a Hall effect board, it succeeds, offering a wealth of customization options, including the ability to let you adjust each key's actuation point by as little as a hundredth of a millimeter at a time. But if you're buying it for ergonomics, like me, then maybe not. My biggest concern during testing was its limited tenting angles. $420 seems very steep for a keyboard that doesn't... get very steep."
"Tenting is an integral feature of split ergo keyboards. Being able to raise the inner sides of each of the two sections to your liking allows your arms and wrists to rest in a more neutral position than they would on a regular keyboard. The Falcata can only tent up to seven degrees (or six with the wrist rests installed). Some people may only need the slight tenting that the Falcata offers;"
The Asus ROG Falcata pairs Hall-effect switches with a split ergonomic form factor, offering per-key actuation adjustment down to hundredths of a millimeter and extensive customization. The keyboard uses a compact 75-percent layout similar to many daily drivers while adding elegant design touches. Ergonomic features are limited by maximum tenting of seven degrees (six degrees with wrist rests) and a maximum half-separation of ten inches with the included USB-C link cable. The short cable length and limited tenting constrain neutral wrist positioning for many users accustomed to higher tent angles and wider separation. The $419.99 price positions the board as premium despite these ergonomic compromises.
