After to switching to this keyboard I noticed my Linux box was going into suspend when it normally wouldn’t, then I disabled suspend and hibernate and it would start powering off. I tracked this down to the keyboard creating a virtual device ASUSTeK ROG FALCHION System Control which would send POWEROFF and SLEEP input events when it would put itself to sleep to save power. Anyways long story short here is the link to my gist that disables this “feature” globally for a linux system. Stop Asus ROG Falchion mechanical keyboard from sending POWER and SLEEP key presses when the keyboard goes to sleep. Put in /etc/udev/hwdb.d and then run sudo systemd-hwdb update · GitHub
Maybe save another Linux user the headache and google foo to stop this silly behaviour.
