I recently published a review of the Asus Falcata, a 75-percent Hall effect gaming keyboard split in half for ergonomic benefits. My takeaway is that $420 is way too much money for an ergonomic keyboard that doesn’t do the ergonomic part as well as some cheaper models. Notably, the inside edges closest to your thumbs don’t tent as much as they should for a gadget that’s this pricey.
I’m standing by my criticism while also telling you that the Falcata is a much better value thanks to a $140 off discount happening now. Through Cyber Monday (December 1st), you can grab one at Best Buy for $279.99. At this price, it’s just $80 more than the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB Plus.
You may prefer a different ergo model if you need a keyboard that tents higher than the Falcata. But, if it’s the deep customization of Hall effect switches that you’re after, I suggest hopping on this very good sale price.
