ASUS just makes overengineered overpriced flashy products meant to appease rich normies that just don't know any better. The keyboard might seem okay but $200 for a plastic keyboard with some whacky niche features is a very steep ask considering the competition. Especially when their software sucks
Just to play devil's advocate, whilst I would rank their software as one of the worst, I think they are trying to improve it. Regarding overpriced products made for targeting rich normies, well they do have some reasonable products that are competitive and compared to like a $300 t-shirt, a $200 high performance carbon fibre mouse does represent some value in this market. People buy into brands and I don't necessarily see an issue with that, I don't think they are being exploited. It's also pricey to cultivate a brand image like ASUS has.
@@TheRealAstro_brother that isn’t how to respond to someone giving genuine points. I agree, the mouse is overpriced, it makes a finalmouse seem cheap. The keyboard is priced pretty well if you consider its competition is wooting. Wooting is 190 dollars and this is 200 for better tech. Also wooting is also full abs plastic and inherently sounds a lot worse.
@@hyperone1356 I apologize for making a joke. I think the best thing ASUS ever released was actually released by Ikea (the Ikea mouse pad). I am not a big fan of the quality of Wooting's keyboards either (stock) but you can at least mod them to sound pretty decent, whereas ASUS has opted to make this thing literal hell on earth to mod for some reason. That or just spend like 10 bucks more and buy a Q1 HE and have an infinitely better build quality keyboard with better software also. I thought it was funny that the guy said people buy into brands and that he thinks that's not wrong to do. I heavily disagree with him as I think being brand loyal is horrible and anti consumer. You should buy the thing you want and that best fits your needs, for the best price, regardless of which brand is attached to it.
Using the Falcion HFX right now. It's a really solid keyboard, very much enjoying using it. Also, it's nice that most of it's features can be activated without software.
@@TheGrizzledB you're supposed to take what he says at face value, he is our master, and we take his opinion as facts, we are sheep, all of us, and he rules over us with an iron fist or whatever
Hi! What do you think about the Falchion HFX Keyboard when you have the Armoury Crate Software anyway, because i have an Asus Motherboard, Asus Loki PSU and an Asus 4080 GPU in the System. Would it be worth to get it over the Wooting 80HE? Greetings from Austria
to my fellow glue eaters please do not bite the carbon fiber it will shatter into shards and dig into your flesh and remain lodged in there until the end of your life, stick to a good plastic shell
I have Asus ROG Falchion, first generation, and touch bar on that keybord is 10x more usable than on this new one, because it's on left side and it is easyer to touch while typing. For example, I use it for sound control and it is amazing
My Logitech super light 2 had the mouse button crack the other day. Probably abuse from gaming plus the materials used to reduce weight. The carbon fiber might be what I need
A bunch of nothing burger complaints. None of us need these keyboards or mice to perform well. It's ok to have high quality stuff for people who like to spend on their setups. There's so much nonsense in gamer rgb since its inception. I doubt .01% of the gaming base has broken an he keyboard and has the ability to fix it on their own. Sealing it likely prevents liquid ever getting to the electronics which would be the most common issue we would have with a keyboard malfunction. Lets not just complain to complain please Love your stuff either way lmao gg
@@TheRealAstro_ Making it difficult to repair doesn't mean you cant repair it. If ease of repairability and modability was a major concern you should buy something that aligns with what you want. A majority of people do not want to or care to repair their own things, so building a high quality product and trading off repairability for reliability is a sound business decision.
@@BobbyDigMOB you can make a high quality product that is also decently repairable. I know companies like Apple want you to believe otherwise but that is propaganda.
If i was Asus i would switch the position of the touchbar to be further away from the keyboard. Just move it in the middle of an active volcano would be my best guess. If you want touchcontrols anywhere near your pc you must be a lunatic.
reply to my previous comments (they're on other videos) please, my internet is way too garbage for me to load 2 other videos just to copy the comments and paste them here, im doing both of us a favour (not really, just me)
Sick video (haven't watched it yet)
thanks (haven't read ur comment yet)

@Rocket33r Ok ASUS post on your official account next time!

I recently found your channel and would just like to say, thank you, I greatly appreciate your well thought out videos.
You think I put thought into these???
@ I’m being generous 😉 cheers from Tennessee.

@ A thousand apologies, I’ll get back in line.
Surprised its only 1 crumb of nature valley oats, usually you open it and there's an explosion of oats and dust
what do you think about the K683 Fidd Magnetic purely gaming wise?
Hello, im trying to find a budget rapid trigger keyboard, i dont care about brands i just want a 70%> keyboard fast. Any recomendations?
Raven68 and Venom60HE. ATK RS7 (or Pro) if you want something fancier one with bigger budget.

bloatware, plus u dont need the armoury crate software for any of your components
They do make "ok" products, but the price they ask for any of them is vastly unjustified, but who am i to judge people who want to buy less for more.

The side buttom of Harpe Ace Extreme seems「Extremely」small to me.

I hate that they put touch on everything. I rather use knobs and switches, than anything with touch.
Damn I want to see you review the Harpe Ace Mini tho
I can't wait for falchion ace hfx....but unfortunately it must still comes out with qwerty in Europe..........
what was the mouse that he cracked, so I make sure to never get it
nice video
My Logitech super light 2 had the mouse button crack the other day. Probably abuse from gaming plus the materials used to reduce weight. The carbon fiber might be what I need
Havent watched the video, but I'm shocked!!!
aff link is broken (usable but still worth fixing)

I really like my Asus scope strix98, was overpriced but sounds and feels nice and has to 😅

Using the average consumer not taking advantage of repairability doesn't excuse companies to not make their products repairable
