ASUS ROG FALCHION WITH CHERRY MX RGB RED
With the ROG Falchion, ASUS not only offers the first wireless keyboard, but also the first ROG model in a compact 65% form factor. The minimalist design offers all the functionality a high-end gaming keyboard needs thanks to the innovative two-way cover, while promising plenty of space for precise mouse movements. Even the left side of the keyboard frame is creatively used for another input method. By the brand-new touch-sensitive touch bar placed there, the volume can be intuitively regulated, macros activated or other individually assignable functions triggered by swiping or tapping. In addition, current functions and the battery's charge status can be read on the LEDs. By the way, its battery life is supposed to last up to 450 hours - without RGB lighting.

While the accompanying program Armoury Crate allows configuring the touch bar and programming macros in addition to the alternative lighting effects, synchronization with other ASUS ROG components can be performed using Aura Sync, which is also available wirelessly for the first time.
At the heart of the keyboard are the CHERRY MX RGB switches. Every MX switch has its own characteristic, every character feels different. To enable a versatile selection according to individual preferences, the ROG Falchion is available with four different MX switches: MX Red, MX Brown, MX Blue and MX Speed Silver. BastiGHG opts for the Red version because its characteristics harmonise best with his way of playing games. These key switches are triggered after 2.0 millimeters, feature linear characteristics, and require an actuating force of 45 centinewtons.

ASUS ROG CHAKRAM CORE
The ROG Chakram Core is a wired gaming mouse with 16,000 DPI and 1,000Hz sampling rate, as well as a programmable detachable joystick that provides superior control directly from your thumb.
