ASUS Republic of Gamers unveils new lineup of gaming peripherals

ASUS ROG announces new gaming peripherals including the Azoth X keyboard, Keris II Origin mouse, Delta II headset, and Scabbard II mousepad.

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has introduced a new collection of gaming peripherals, expanding its portfolio with four new products. The release includes the ROG Azoth X gaming keyboard, the ROG Keris II Origin gaming mouse, the Scabbard II Arctic Gray XXL mousepad, and the ROG Delta II Moonlight White gaming headset. Each product is designed to deliver high performance, comfort, and aesthetics to suit a variety of gaming setups, especially those with a white-themed look.

ROG Azoth X keyboard focuses on customisation and performance

The ROG Azoth X is a 75% custom mechanical keyboard built for gamers and keyboard enthusiasts who value both aesthetics and functionality. Its keycaps have a three-sided translucent design that enhances RGB lighting effects, and they are dye-sublimated with the ROG Stellar theme on the front and top for a distinct appearance.

To ensure a premium typing experience, the keyboard is built with a south-facing PCB for wide switch compatibility, five layers of dampening including one silicone and four PORON layers, a gasket mount, and an FR4 positioning plate. It comes equipped with hot-swappable ROG NX Snow Mechanical Switches V2, which support different keycap profiles and offer quieter, smoother keystrokes.

An OLED display on the keyboard allows users to view system information and settings at a glance, while a three-way control knob provides easy adjustments. The keyboard includes an extended silicone wrist rest and features dual pairs of feet with three tilt options. Connectivity is flexible, offering low-latency 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless, multi-device Bluetooth mode, or wired USB mode for simultaneous charging and gameplay.

ROG Keris II Origin mouse combines speed, precision and ergonomics

The ROG Keris II Origin is a lightweight, ergonomic gaming mouse weighing just 64 grams. Developed with input from esports professionals, the shape accommodates various grip styles. It includes RGB lighting across three zones and features ROG’s Push-Fit Switch Socket II for quick switch replacements.

At its core are ROG-exclusive components, such as the ROG Micro Switch II with a 100-million-click lifespan, and the ROG AimPoint Pro sensor, capable of 42,000-dpi resolution and glass-surface tracking. It also supports ROG SpeedNova wireless technology for ultra-low latency performance and power efficiency.

Users can choose from wired USB, Bluetooth, or 2.4GHz RF wireless modes. The bundled ROG Omni Receiver allows multiple devices to connect through a single dongle. The mouse also includes anti-slip grip tape, smooth 100% PTFE feet, and a flexible ROG Paracord cable. Controls for frequently used settings can be accessed directly through button combinations on the mouse itself.

Scabbard II and Delta II complete the setup

The ROG Scabbard II Arctic Gray XXL mousepad has been redesigned to suit light-coloured gaming setups. It features a spill-resistant cloth surface that repels water, oil, and dust, while maintaining smooth glide performance. The mousepad is built with flat-stitched, anti-fray edges for durability and a clean look.

The ROG Delta II Moonlight White headset is tailored for immersive gaming audio and comfort. With tri-mode connectivity including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and 3.5mm wired support, it’s compatible with a range of platforms including PC, consoles, and mobile devices. ROG SpeedNova technology ensures low-latency wireless performance, while 50mm titanium-plated drivers and high-resolution audio deliver detailed, realistic sound.

Its 10mm super-wideband boom microphone ensures clear communication, even during intense gaming. DualFlow Audio allows users to connect to two devices at once and take calls with a tap. The headset provides up to 110 hours of use on a single charge with RGB lighting turned off, and supports fast charging with up to 11 hours of playback from a 15-minute charge. Weighing just 318 grams, it includes two sets of ergonomic D-shaped cushions for extended comfort.
