Jacob Roach / Digital Trends 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…

Writing is undoubtedly a painful, twisted joy until you read your work and wonder if you ever had a bare ounce of creativity.

But it hurts to read…

I debated between the Elvish and the Dwarvish, and finally decided that despite how much I loved the illustration on the Dwarvish keyboard (a rendering of the door to Moria), I was really an Elf Boy at heart, and requested that…
