The ASUS ROG Falcata might be the most unique gaming keyboard I’ve ever tested — fully wireless with 8K polling, Hall Effect switches, and a design that splits, snaps, or even runs as a left-hand-only setup. It’s insanely fun… but also kind of a mess. Between buggy Gear Link software, questionable “wireless” choices, and some rough edges, this $359 keyboard raises big questions. Does it actually slay, or is it just an expensive beta test?
