The ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is a wireless mechanical keyboard that continues the ASUS Falchion lineup of compact gaming keyboards. This keyboard connects wirelessly with an included 2.4 GHz receiver or via Bluetooth. It has a touch panel for media controls and a physical toggle for switching between Windows and macOS compatibility modes.
It uses pre-lubed, low-profile RX ROG Optical switches—available in either linear or clicky varieties—and RGB backlighting that you can customize, among other settings, in the configuration software. It also comes with a plastic dust cover designed to sit over the front of the keyboard when not in use or for transit. While using the keyboard, you can move this plastic cover onto the back of the keyboard, and it has a set of large rubber feet to help prevent the keyboard from sliding around on desks.
Note: We experienced occasional key chatter (repeated keystrokes) while testing this keyboard. We've seen a small number of reports from the wider community experiencing this issue, but it's currently unclear how widespread it is and whether it's something you're likely to experience. We're closely monitoring the situation and will update our review as needed. For more details about this issue, see the Build Quality section below.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile fills a specific niche as there aren't very many dedicated low-profile gaming options in the current market. Most low-profile gaming options that do exist are full-size models, like the Corsair K100 AIR, the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro, and the Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED. The Falchion RX Low Profile offers a compact (65%) alternative. Its smaller form factor not only means it takes up considerably less space in a desktop setup and leaves you more room for mouse movements but also makes it a much more portable option that's great for tournament players or anyone who frequently travels with their keyboard in tow. Also, this keyboard has a customizable touch bar with a small display. It keeps the face of the keyboard free of clutter and still provides dedicated media controls and backlighting brightness controls by default.
Unfortunately, we experienced some key chatter (repeated keystrokes) on the unit we bought and tested, so if you're interested in this board, we recommend purchasing either directly from ASUS or an authorized vendor with warranty support so you can RMA your keyboard if need be. This keyboard is also only available in a white colorway at the time of writing, which may not suit everyone's taste or desktop setup.
