ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE vs SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3

Both are wired Hall Effect gaming keyboards with adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger, so the choice comes down to size, switches and controls. The ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is the more compact 75% board with hot-swappable switches, an onboard actuation wheel and a touch panel, plus a carry case for travel. The Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 is a larger TKL with OmniPoint 3 switches, 40 actuation levels up to 4.0 mm, an OLED display, an aluminum top plate and GG QuickSet presets. Owners of the SteelSeries line praise the switch feel and build; the Falchion suits buyers who want a smaller, swappable board.

• Choose the ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE if you want a compact 75% layout, hot-swappable magnetic switches and physical controls for actuation and media without opening software.
• Choose the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 if you want a full TKL layout, a wider actuation range, an OLED display and per-game auto presets on a sturdier aluminum frame.
