I’ve grown out of low-profile keyboards. After a stint with the Logitech G915, I was quickly swept up into the community of enthusiast mechanical keyboards, and I’ve winced at the sound of a low-profile mechanical keyboard ever since.

I’ll move back to the keyboard I’ve tweaked every part of eventually, but the ROG Falchion RX LP makes a compelling argument for a low-profile form factor with…
