ROG Falcata SWIFT. SLEEK. SPLIT.
ROG Falcata is a 75% split gaming keyboard designed for precision and flexibility. It features the hot-swappable ROG HFX V2 Magnetic Switch and ROG Hall Sensor for ultra-responsive keystrokes. It includes a Rapid Trigger toggle, intuitive multi-function wheel and button, ROG SpeedNova 8K wireless technology, and tri-mode connectivity. A unique Zone Mode optimizes hardware settings and primes the Falcata for top-tier performance in an instant. For user comfort, the Falcata includes four-layer dampening and detachable silicone wrist rests.
Compact 75% Split Design
The 75% layout of the Falcata includes the essential arrow, function, and navigation keys while keeping overall dimensions compact. The unique split design allows users to detach the side of the right keyboard, retaining the left half when gaming. Compared to a 65% keyboard, the split design frees up even more space for mouse movement.
A bundled link cable is required to ensure stable connection and optimal performance. Using third-party cables may result in the keyboard not responding.

ROG HFX V2 Magnetic Switches
This latest pre-lubed magnetic switch delivers solid, ultra-precise feel with lightning-fast responsiveness along with a 100-million-keystroke lifespan. The polycarbonate top housing and POM plastic stem and bottom housing ensure ultrasmooth keystrokes, while the walled-stem design enhances stability and keeps out dust and debris. This results in consistently smooth, reliable, and precise keypresses when gaming or typing.

Customizable Actuation Point
With the ROG Hall Sensor and HFX V2 Magnetic Switch, the 0.1–3.5 mm actuation range of the Falcata can be adjusted in precise 0.01 mm increments. The actuation point can be tweaked via the multi-function wheel or web-based Gear Link interface.

-
ROG Hall Effect Technology
Leveraging the increased magnetic flux tolerance of the HFX V2 Magnetic Switch, the IC is now directly mounted on the PCB, allowing it to be positioned closer to the magnet without being affected by board thickness. This further enhances magnetic sensing accuracy without affecting saturation.
-
Rapid Trigger
A dedicated toggle switch on the top-left rear panel of the Falcata activates the Rapid Trigger feature for the fastest typing response and key repeat rate. By default, only WASD keys are enabled when this feature is activated. Rapid Trigger for other keys can be enabled via Gear Link.
Traditional mechanical switches require a return to the reset point before the next click registers. With ROG HFX V2 Magnetic Switch and the Rapid Trigger feature, the switch resets instantly as it moves upward, delivering maximum counter-strafing potential with minimal effort.

Speed Tap Mode
In Speed Tap mode, as soon as the system detects the input of two keys (e.g., A + D) it will prioritize the last input and automatically release the previous one. This means that in FPS games, pressing two opposing directional keys will no longer cause the character to stop moving; instead, directional changes can now be done immediately without releasing the previous key, eliminating any time gap for counter-strafing and ensuring precise aim every time.
*Speed Tap feature is turned off by default. Simultaneously press Fn + Caps keys for 1 second to activate.
Intuitive Controls
The innovative multi-function button and wheel allow for easy adjustments to various settings, including Rapid Trigger sensitivity, keyboard actuation point, volume, media playback, lighting, and custom commands. Additionally, the LED sidebar showcases dynamic light effects that reflect these adjustments in real-time.

Superb Connectivity
Tri-mode connectivity allows the Falcata to connect to five devices simultaneously via ROG SpeedNova 8K wireless technology, Bluetooth®, or wired USB. Experience ultra-responsive performance with up to an 8000Hz polling rate in SpeedNova wireless or wired modes, resulting in input refresh rates that are up to 8X faster than most gaming keyboards and reducing delay from 1ms to 0.125ms for precise, real-time actions. Plus, SpeedNova wireless mode enables up to 200 hours of battery life*.
