Reviewers from pcworld have found:
Asus is taking a more focused approach with the ROG Falchion. With an RF-only wireless USB connection, it's laser-targeted at PC gamers. Typing was smooth and reliable, with a nice angled lift provided by folding keyboard feet. The big drawback for this small board is the software.
Pros
  • Flexible RGB lighting
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Software isn’t as flexible as competitors

Reviewers from rtings have found:
ASUS Falchion is fantastic for gaming. It has incredibly low latency and customizable RGB backlighting. All keys are macro-programmable, including the touch panel on the left side. It doesn't have a built-in trackpad, so you also need a separate mouse to navigate your computer's interface.
Pros
  • Feels excellently well-built and well-designed
  • Cherry MX Red switches feel light and responsive
  • Low latency and customizable RGB backlighting
  • Comfortable typing experience
  • Very low latency
Cons
  • No Bluetooth support
  • Doesn't come with a wrist rest
