Who each one is for
The ASUS ROG Falchion is the one to take for players wanting a switchable 65%/numpad setup and wireless gaming setups, though it is not built for hot-swap tinkerers and buyers wanting PBT keycaps stock. Buy the Epomaker RT100 for enthusiasts wanting a customizable LCD display and numpad users seeking wireless hot-swap, though it is the wrong buy for minimalist aesthetic preference and competitive esports players. Our rating of the ASUS ROG Falchion (7/10): A clever modular 65% board whose detachable numpad genuinely changes how much desk space it needs. Our rating of the Epomaker RT100 (7/10): A feature-rich, screen-equipped 96% that stands out visually as much as it performs functionally.
