ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced two new additions to its gaming keyboard lineup: the ROG Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition, a 65% compact keyboard inspired by the champion himself, and the ROG Azoth 96 HE, a premium enthusiast-grade keyboard designed for ultimate control and customisation. Both models showcase ROG’s latest innovations in magnetic switch technology, precision actuation, and advanced acoustic design.

ROG Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition – Built for Champions

Battle-tested on the biggest stages and used by ROG ambassador Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, the Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition combines artistry, performance, and professional esports heritage. This 65% compact keyboard is powered by pre-lubed ROG HFX magnetic switches, offering a customisable 0.1–4.0mm actuation range, Rapid Trigger toggle, Speed Tap mode, and an 8000Hz polling rate for ultra-fast response.

The ROG Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition keyboard's five-layer dampening system and silicone gasket mount ensure a cushioned typing experience while eliminating pinging noises, making it quieter and more comfortable than conventional mechanical keyboards. Two USB-C® ports allow users to connect and toggle between two PCs, while dual-height keyboard feet offer three ergonomic tilt options. The ROG Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition keyboard also includes a protective cover that doubles as a tray mount.
