I’m shocked by the price for Asus’ ultra-innovative Falcata split gaming keyboard

The article discusses the Asus ROG Falcata 75% split gaming keyboard, which is now available at Best Buy for a hefty price of $420. The keyboard features a 75% layout with a full function row and arrow keys, but no numpad. Its signature feature is the ability to split into two sections, tethered by a USB cable. The keyboard offers wireless connectivity options, PBT keycaps, foam layers, and RGB lighting. It also includes hot-swappable, adjustable Hall effect switches and a scroll wheel for customization. While the keyboard is primarily designed for gaming, it provides more ergonomic options than a conventional layout. However, the author questions whether the steep $420 price tag is justified, especially when compared to other split keyboard options like the Dygma Raise 2. The article suggests that the Falcata's high-end features and first-generation design may make it a tough sell for even the most dedicated split keyboard enthusiasts.
