ASUS Japan, Inc. announces the ROG Falchion, a compact gaming keyboard with Cherry MX switches, built-in battery, and both wired and wireless support.
65% smaller body
The ROG Falchion is 65% smaller than conventional keyboards.
Many small keyboards omit the arrow and navigation keys, or combine them with the Fn key, but "ROG Falchion" has a clever keyboard layout that allows it to fit into a compact body.
Despite its small size, "ROG Falchion" offers the same operability as a full-size keyboard.
Equipped with a versatile touch panel
The left side of the main unit is equipped with a touch panel that can be used for a variety of purposes.
The touch screen can be used to adjust sound volume, switch between applications, create copy and paste shortcuts, and can even be programmed to act as a macro key to help you play games.
Both wired and wireless connectivity

It also has a near-zero 2.4GHz RF connection. A 4,000 mAh battery is built into the body, allowing for up to 450 hours of operation.
PBT Double-Shot Keycap Adoption
The keycaps are ROG PBT double-shot keycaps, which provide not only a superb touch feeling but also high durability.
Optimized key design, mid-height keycaps, and shortened stems reduce key wobble and provide more comfortable operation.
Polycarbonate keyboard cover included.
ROG Falchion comes with a transparent polycarbonate keyboard cover to protect the keys when the keyboard is not in use or when carrying it around.
When the keyboard is in use, the cover can be placed underneath to diffuse the RGB lighting on the underside for a better visual effect.
To allow use of the touch panel even when the cover is laid down, a slit is provided on the side of the cover, which is designed to provide a high sense of usability.
