Over the last couple of years, ASUS has really stepped up its game when it comes to its gaming keyboards. Since last year, it has released two veritable bangers: the ROG Azoth and the ROG Strix Scope II 96. Both dramatically exceeded expectations, expertly walking the line between enthusiast keyboards and gaming keyboards. The ROG Falchion RX is a different beast, embracing a compact form factor and a low-profile design. But despite its differences, it also embraces the same enthusiasts and excellent performance that made those other keyboards so appealing. At $170, it's definitely on the expensive side and won’t be for everyone, but if you’re a fan of compact keys or are already in the ROG ecosystem, it’s worth a closer look.
The Falchion is a unique keyboard in more ways than one. Low-profile designs have been on the rise in the mechanical keyboard world for the last several years, but it works hard to make itself stand out and succeeds. It's slim, small, fast, and completely programmable. It's also quite nice to look at, which is less important but still matters for a peripheral that you will be looking at so often. And for its asking price, all of these things matter.
ASUS knows this and you can see evidence of how in tune it is with its audience all throughout its design. Its keyboards lately have been aimed at the intersection between gamers and keyboard enthusiasts, so needs to pull in both. A prerequisite for this keyboard is that you find its low profile design appealing, but if you can check that simple box, you will almost certainly find that ASUS hits the mark for both types of users: gamers who want an enthusiast-level keyboard or enthusiasts who wants the programmability and wireless performance of a gaming keyboard.
That starts with the size and its design. The keyboard uses a 65% layout, which means it does away with the function row and number pad, as well as most of the navigation. There are dedicated arrow keys as well as a column of navigation and editing buttons along the right side. Compared to a 60%

Asus ROG Ally X is confirmed to launch on June 2. The upcoming handheld gaming console will reportedly come with significant upgrades over its preceding model, the Asus ROG Ally, which was introduced last year.

Jane Schoenbrun’s new movie I Saw the TV Glowhas sparked a wave of excited buzz and a sharp spike at the indie box office during its slow rollout in limited release. Like Schoenbrun’s previous movie, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, TV Glow was a sensation at Sundance and a subsequent critical hit. Both movies have won fans with their queasy, dreamy late-night tone, and the way they tap into familiar feelings of dread and alienation, compounded with the relief that can come from finding a fandom and sharing an obsession with other people. In World’s Fair, the protagonist is drawn into an online community sharing creepypasta-type stories. TV Glow, by contrast, centers on a late-night TV show called The Pink Opaque, about two girls using their psychic connection (and their magical, matching, glowing tattoos) to save the world from evil.
Asus ROG Ally X is set to arrive next month as an incremental upgrade to the 2023 ROG Ally from the Taiwanese firm. It will arrive with noteworthy upgrades to some components on Asus' original handheld gaming console that made its debut last year, according to a report. The upcoming ROG Ally X will reportedly be equipped with the same 7-inch display and AMD processor found on the first-generation device, while offering more RAM and battery life, as well as support for larger storage upgrades.
ASUS has introduced its brand new ROG Ally X gaming handheld which is an upgrade to the original model using the same AMD Ryzen Z1 APUs.

iFi Audio is one of the biggest names in the audiophile space. Its products routinely make best-of lists and push the limits on sound quality, features, and power for their size. We’ve put its latest product, the iFi GO Bar Kensei through its paces, seeing just what it has to offer over the original GO Bar. It’s a tiny, very pocketable DAC/amp that puts out a surprising amount of power — enough for most over-ear headphones, let alone in-ear monitors (IEMs) — and supports advanced features like sound customization with filters and its own X-Bass and X-Space enhancements, as well as JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD upscaling tech. It exists on the high end of the dongle DAC price spectrum, but if you want an audiophile experience on the go, it delivers.
The Asus ROG Ally is an excellent PC gaming handheld in its own right: a gorgeous full HD screen and great performance, all in a lightweight and stylish form factor. However, a modder sought to improve upon its design and added an extra screen.

Last year, we took a look at the Flexispot Odin, a four-legged standing desk, and were impressed by its excellent stability. That desk was quite expensive at $900, however, and was out of many people’s price range. Flexispot is back with an answer: the Flexispot E7 Plus. Like the Odin, it features a four-legged design and an impressive 540 pounds of lifting power. It also offers more customization options to help ensure it matches your space and surface area needs.
