Verdict

The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is a premium 65% wireless mechanical keyboard designed for portability and speed, packing a compact layout into a 60% frame with a slim 26.5 mm profile. It features pre-lubed ROG RX Low-Profile optical switches with a fast 1.0 mm actuation point, 2.8 mm total travel, and dual-layer silicone dampening foam to eliminate echoing for a quiet, smooth typing experience. Main pros include its versatile tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz SpeedNova, Bluetooth, and wired USB), an intuitive interactive touch panel for media control, and an impressive battery life of up to 430+ hours with RGB off. However, some cons to consider are its high price point, a non-standard switch and keycap design that limits third-party customization, and a short right Shift key that may require an adjustment period for some users.

Summary of the review

ROG Falchion RX Low Profile - A Thin Gaming Keyboard with a Huge Potential

The ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is a sleek, 65% compact gaming keyboard built into a 60% frame that mirrors the slimness of an iPhone 13 Pro Max. It features an aluminum top layer, custom linear ROG RX Red Optical Switches for rapid actuation, and a highly improved top-left touch panel for managing volume, media, and RGB lighting. It stands out for its exceptional versatility, offering tri-mode connectivity (wired, ROG SpeedNova 2.4 GHz wireless, and a 3-way Bluetooth connection to pair up to three separate devices) alongside an Omni receiver that permits running a compatible ROG mouse and keyboard from a single dongle. Additionally, it boasts an impressive battery life of up to 400 hours with the lighting turned off, all fully customizable via the Armoury Crate software. However, the review highlights several distinct drawbacks, most notably its high price tag of PHP 8,580 (approximately $145), which sits significantly above competing low-profile models from Keychron and Royal Kludge. The keyboard is also exclusively available in a white color scheme, making it a "dirt magnet" for users with sweaty hands...

ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Keyboard Review

The TweakTown Review gives the ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Keyboard a highly impressive 93% overall rating, praising it as a futuristic, space-age peripheral that excels in both gaming and productivity. Shifting a 65% form factor into a compact 60% frame, this wireless keyboard features pre-lubed ROG RX low-profile optical switches with a short 1.0mm actuation point and multiple layers of internal silicone sound-dampening foam. These elements combine to deliver a luxurious, wobble-free, and remarkably quiet typing experience. Major pros highlighted in the review include its gorgeous physical design, smooth and quiet acoustics, fantastic low-latency wireless performance with multi-device connectivity, and an innovative rear touch panel that lets users easily customize media, lighting, or scrolling configurations. Despite the overwhelming praise, the review points out a few specific design drawbacks. Because ASUS crammed arrow keys and standard navigation into such a tiny layout, the keys on the right side feel cramped—particularly the drastically shortened right Shift key—which creates a minor learning curve during day-to-day productivity typing. Additionally, the customization of secondary key shortcuts is restricted within the software. On the...

Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Review – Low Profile, High Quality

The ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is an elegant, 65% form-factor gaming keyboard that combines a compact layout with premium low-profile optical switches. The reviewer praises its sleek aesthetic, featuring a metallic top plate and white keys, and highlights its excellent, wobble-free keystroke accuracy using Red switches. Key strengths include robust connectivity options via multi-device Bluetooth 5.1, 2.4GHz "SpeedNova" wireless, and USB wired modes, alongside an impressive battery life of over 400 hours with RGB disabled. Additionally, the inclusion of a protective top cover and a unique, highly functional rear touch panel for media and volume control are noted as standout pros. On the downside, the reviewer notes that the secondary key functions engraved on the low-profile keycaps can be difficult to read from high angles due to weaker edge-lit RGB lighting. The accompanying ASUS ROG Armoury Crate software is criticized as a major con for being bloated, system-intensive, and cluttered with unnecessary menus. Lastly, the unique internal switch setup means the keyboard is not easily customizable for enthusiasts who prefer to swap hardware parts. Despite these minor flaws,...

Additionally, the included protective cover lacks a secure snapping mechanism, and the keyboard faces competition regarding its overall value, notes.

ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile - Test & Review

The Gamezoom review of the ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile gaming keyboard highlights its compact 65% layout packed into a 60% frame, showcasing excellent build quality with a premium metal top plate and robust torsion resistance. Evaluated with the linear, quiet ROG RX Red Low-Profile optical switches, the review praises the keyboard’s pre-lubricated stabilizers and dual silicone foam layers, which successfully eliminate echos and rattling for a buttery-smooth typing experience. Its high versatility is another standout feature, supporting tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz wireless via the Omni Receiver, Bluetooth 5.2, and wired USB-C), a dedicated Mac/Windows toggle, and an impressive battery life reaching up to 400 hours with the RGB lighting turned off. Additional bonuses include scratch-resistant UV-coated ABS keycaps, multi-height adjustments, and a functional protective travel cover. On the downside, the review notes a couple of technical and financial compromises. The keyboard comes with a relatively steep starting price of €189.90, which may deter budget-conscious users. Performance-wise, the ultra-fast 1.0 mm actuation point and a short 2.8 mm total travel distance are highly optimized for low reaction times in...

ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Review – Packed with Great Features that Justify the Premium Price!

The ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is a white and silver, 65% compact wireless keyboard that stands out for its high-quality construction and proprietary hardware. A key pro is its excellent build quality, featuring a rigid aluminium frame, multiple internal sound-absorbing layers, an ergonomic three-stage height adjustment, and a practical protective plastic cover that doubles as a dust shield or transport case. Performance is driven by pre-lubricated ROG RX Red optical-mechanical switches, which deliver a premium typing feel. Additionally, it offers highly versatile connectivity via a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle, Bluetooth, and a detachable USB-C to USB-A cable. According to the reviewer, the large integrated battery is officially replaceable, easing long-term durability concerns. The most prominent con of this keyboard is its incredibly high launch price of €189.90, making it hard to justify against internal alternatives like the ROG Falchion ACE or budget options like the Sharkoon PureWriter W65, which both cost around €90. Though current retail pricing has dropped to roughly €110, the high entry point remains a significant barrier. Another downside is that the keycaps are made...

Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Review: The Best Low-Profile Gaming Keyboard?

The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is a highly compact, 65% gaming keyboard that scores a strong 1.39 rating due to its high-quality construction and dual-purpose utility for both gaming and heavy typing. This sleek, 26.5 mm white keyboard features a durable metal top plate, tri-mode wireless connectivity (2,4 GHz Speednova, Bluetooth for up to three devices, and USB-C), and dedicated macOS support with a physical toggle switch. Its standout internal features are the lubricated, linear Asus ROG RX Red Low Profile optical switches, which offer a unique square, hollow stem structure with centered RGB lighting and integrated X-stabilizers to completely eliminate key wobble. Combined with dual-layer silicone dampening foam that destroys structural "pinging" sounds, this model acts as a true silent keyboard, offering a remarkably smooth, linear, and velvety keystroke. Despite its premium build and expansive functionality, the keyboard faces notable limitations regarding customization and companion software. Its major drawback is the rigid layout configuration: users cannot modify or remap the FN layer or change the physical location of the FN key itself, which prevents custom layouts like...

ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Review

Despite receiving a near-perfect 95% overall rating, the keyboard has a few notable downsides according to the reviewer. The most significant disadvantage is its hefty price tag of just under €200, which makes it an expensive investment for casual users. From a material standpoint, the reviewer expresses disappointment that ASUS opted for UV-coated ABS keycaps rather than more premium, wear-resistant PBT plastic. Lastly, the lack of dedicated macro keys is listed as a minor inconvenience for gamers who rely heavily on quick shortcuts, though the extensive Armoury Crate software helps mitigate this by allowing extensive dual-key assignments.

Asus ROG Falchion RX review: A wonderful compact keyboard

The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is a 65% compact mechanical gaming keyboard that delivers stellar hardware but is severely held back by its configuration software. On the positive side, the hardware is highly praised for its exceptional build quality, very quiet acoustics due to pre-lubricated optical switches and dual sound dampening, and a long battery life that reaches up to 430 hours over 2.4 GHz wireless with the RGB lighting turned off. Its custom "ROG Low Profile Red" optical switches provide a stable, wobble-free typing experience with a balanced actuation force that minimizes accidental keypresses while maintaining an agile feel for both gaming and typing. Additionally, the compact 2.6 cm high chassis features a functional rear touch panel for on-the-fly volume adjustments. However, the reviewer heavily criticizes the "Armoury Crate" software, noting that it severely limits the keyboard's potential as an adaptable compact device. The primary drawback is that users can only remap the primary key functions, leaving the secondary Fn-layer entirely locked to factory presets and preventing highly requested modifications like swapping the Caps Lock key for...

Hardwareluxx highlights its excellent out-of-the-box performance, blending the short travel distance of a notebook design with the responsive feedback of mechanical hardware. Pre-lubricated ROG RX Low-Profile optical switches and dual-layer silicone dampening foam deliver a remarkably pleasant, smooth typing feel and a quiet sound profile that rivals custom-built keyboards. Additional core features include versatile tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired), a multi-functional interactive touch bar for seamless media adjustments, dedicated Mac and Windows mode switching, and vibrant per-key centralized RGB lighting. Despite its premium features, the keyboard has a few notable drawbacks. The reliance on UV-coated ABS keycaps rather than more durable PBT material can be a point of contention for user preference. Additionally, due to its specialized low-profile format and unique four-point keycap stems, users face proprietary restrictions with no options for third-party aftermarket keycap customisation.

The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile review by Frandroid scores the 65% compact keyboard a highly impressive 9 out of 10, praising its premium design, stellar battery life, and high-end hardware performance. Shifting away from aggressive, over-the-top "gamer" aesthetics, the keyboard sports a sleek, white-and-metallic look comparable to premium productivity decks like Logitech's MX series or Apple's Magic Keyboard.
