Play like a champion — ZywOo’s gaming keyboard now available from ASUS

A gamer is often only as good as his gear. When you have the opportunity to use the same gear as a multi-time MVP and champion – and possibly the best AWPer of all-time – you take the upgrade. ASUS has now made the same keyboard that ZywOo of Team Vitality in Counter-Strike 2 uses available for purchase. Check out the details below!

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA, November 17, 2025 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the U.S. availability of the Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition, a limited-edition keyboard designed in collaboration with professional Counter-Strike legend Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut. Now available exclusively at Best Buy, this compact 65% keyboard brings ZywOo’s championship-winning setup to gamers everywhere.

Featuring pre-lubed ROG HFX magnetic switches, Rapid Trigger and Speed Tap modes, and an ultra-responsive 8000Hz polling rate, the Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition is engineered for instant precision and fluid control. A five-layer dampening structure and silicone gasket mount deliver a premium, quiet typing feel, while the custom aesthetics reflect ZywOo’s focused mindset and competitive drive.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Counter-Strike players of all time, ZywOo is known for his ice-cold decision-making, pinpoint aim, and clutch performances under pressure. He used the Falchion Ace HFX throughout his eight-trophy 2025 season, including Team Vitality’s ESL Pro League Season 22 victory. With multiple HLTV #1 titles, two Majors MVPs, and two Counter-Strike Major Championships under his belt, ZywOo’s dominance continues to inspire players around the world. 

ROG HFX magnetic switches

ROG HFX magnetic switches are engineered and pre-lubed for a solid feel with lightning-fast, ultra-precise performance and a 100-million-keypress lifespan. Designed for smooth keystrokes, the switch stem and bottom housing are made of POM plastic, with a polycarbonate top housing. Additionally, the walled stem design enhances stability and keeps out dust.

An adjustable 0.1–4.0mm actuation range caters to all typing preferences. Tweaking the actuation point can be done via the multifunction button and touch panel, or through Gear Link software.

In Speed Tap mode, as soon as the system detects the input of two keys (e.g., A and D), it prioritizes the last input and automatically releases the previous one. This means pressing two opposing directional keys during FPS games will no longer cause the character to stop moving. Instead, directional changes can now be made immediately by simply releasing the previous key, eliminating any time gap for counter-strafing and ensuring precise aim every time.

Rapid Trigger toggle

Traditional mechanical switches require a return to the reset point before the next click registers. With ROG HFX magnetic switches and the Rapid Trigger feature, the switch resets instantly as it moves upward, delivering maximum strafing potential with minimal effort. Unlike most competitor keyboards that require users to access software menus to activate or deactivate Rapid Trigger mode, the Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition features a built-in toggle for convenient switching between normal typing mode and Rapid Trigger mode, providing the fastest typing response and key repeat rate.

8000Hz polling rate and enhanced typing experiences

The 8000Hz polling rate of the Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition results in a 0.125ms response time, up to 8X faster than competitor keyboards. Integrated five-layer dampening and a silicone gasket mount absorb pinging noises and provide a more cushioned typing feel for an enhanced experience. 

Additional features

The Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition features two USB-C® ports on either side of the rear edge of the keyboard, allowing users to connect two PCs simultaneously and quick-toggle between them. The placement of the ports also allows for more flexible, neater setups.

A bundled keyboard cover keeps dust away from the Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition when not in use. It can also be placed under the keyboard as a tray mount.

The Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Edition features two pairs of keyboard feet of different heights, providing three ergonomic tilt angles to suit gamer preferences.

Pricing and Availability

The Falchion Ace HFX ZywOo Limited Edition is available in the United States exclusively at Best Buy beginning November 17, 2025, for $199.99. Learn more at the Best Buy product page. Broader availability through additional retail partners will follow later this year.
