ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) presents the ROG Falchion Ace HFX, an innovative 65% gaming keyboard designed specifically for gamers who demand precision, speed and customization. Featuring the new ROG HFX magnetic switches and a record-breaking 8000 Hz polling rate, the Falchion Ace HFX offers an ultra-compact solution that doesn’t compromise on performance.
- Magnetic switches with adjustable trigger point from 0.1 to 4.0 mm.
- Rapid trigger for fastest response and repetition rates.
- 8000 Hz polling rate for minimum input delay.
- Integrated damping layers for a dampened typing feel and noise reduction.
Customizable magnetic switches for individual precision
The ROG Falchion Ace HFX is equipped with the innovative ROG HFX magnetic switches, which offer a whole new level of precision and customization. Thanks to a customizable trigger range of 0.1 to 4.0 mm, gamers can adjust the trigger point of each button to their exact needs, whether for fast-paced gaming action or precise typing. This flexibility makes it possible to find the ideal mix of reaction speed and control.
The switches are made of high-quality POM plastic and are designed for a service life of 100 million keystrokes, making them extremely durable and reliable. The design of the switches also minimizes the ingress of dust, ensuring consistently stable performance – even after intensive gaming sessions.
Rapid Trigger and Speed Tap: response time on a new level
The Rapid Trigger technology of the ROG Falchion Ace HFX takes the gaming experience to a new level. As soon as a button is released, the switch resets immediately, allowing for lightning-fast replay actions. This feature is particularly beneficial for fast movement changes in first-person shooters, as it optimizes strafing and transfers the player’s movement directly to their inputs.
In addition, the keyboard offers the Speed Tap mode, which ensures precise directional changes in FPS games. When opposite direction keys are pressed simultaneously, the last input is prioritized and the previous key is automatically released, avoiding unnecessary delays. This mode can be activated simply by pressing Fn + Tab and offers even faster responsiveness in hectic gaming situations.
8000 Hz polling rate for ultimate responsiveness
The ROG Falchion Ace HFX has an impressive polling rate of 8000 Hz, which is well above the industry average. The polling rate indicates how often the keyboard sends signals to the computer – the Falchion Ace HFX does this up to 8000 times per second. This extremely high frequency reduces the input delay to just 0.125 ms, which is up to eight times faster than conventional gaming keyboards with 1000 Hz. This increase in speed offers a decisive advantage in competitive games where every millisecond counts.

Comfort and noise reduction for long gaming sessions
In addition to its technical features, the ROG Falchion Ace HFX also scores with a high level of comfort. The keyboard has five layers of noise and vibration damping, including two PORON layers and three silicone layers that provide a dampened typing experience. This damping reduces annoying typing noises and improves the haptic experience, which is particularly noticeable during long gaming sessions.
The keyboard can also be used flexibly, as it is equipped with two USB-C ports that make it easy to switch between two PCs. The removable protective cover also serves as a palm rest and offers additional comfort. Two pairs of feet make it possible to individually adjust the keyboard’s tilt to find the best possible ergonomic angle for gaming and typing.
Conclusion
The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX sets new standards in gaming keyboards with its advanced magnetic switches, high polling rate and customizability. Its combination of speed, precision and comfort makes it the ideal choice for demanding gamers who pay attention to every detail. The keyboard is now available in stores at a price of EUR 219.90.
