ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has reaffirmed its dedication to esports at Computex 2025 with the launch of several new products aimed at competitive gamers. The showcase includes the ROG Falcata 75% split keyboard, the Harpe II Ace gaming mouse, the Strix Ace XG248 esports monitor, and ergonomic gaming chairs like the ROG Courser and Destrier Core. These offerings are part of the wider ROG Ace collection, designed in collaboration with professional esports players.
At the event in Taipei, ASUS also revealed new partnerships, including a collaboration with Counter-Strike 2 legend Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut. ROG continues to support competitive gaming through long-standing partnerships with teams such as NRG Esports and Team Vitality.
ROG Falcata brings high customisability and speed
One of the standout announcements was the ROG Falcata, a 75% split gaming keyboard built for flexibility and high performance. It features ROG’s HFX V2 Magnetic Switch, which is hot-swappable and supports highly precise adjustments from 0.1 to 3.5mm actuation with 0.01mm intervals. Designed with POM plastic and a stabilising walled stem, the keys offer both durability and fast response, with a 100-million keystroke lifespan.
The keyboard also incorporates a multifunctional wheel and button for controlling actuation points, lighting, media playback and more. A Rapid Trigger toggle enables instant switch to fast typing response modes. Connectivity includes tri-mode support—Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB—with up to 610 hours of battery life using ROG’s SpeedNova 8K wireless technology.
To improve comfort and acoustics, the Falcata features integrated four-layer dampening and detachable silicone wrist rests. Its precise Hall Sensor reduces interference and improves magnetic sensitivity for more accurate keypresses.
Harpe II Ace and Strix Ace raise the bar for pro-level gaming
The ROG Harpe II Ace mouse is built specifically for esports players, developed with the input of VALORANT pro Max “Demon1” Mazanov. “I got to bring my experience as a pro directly into the design process—down to the shape, the clicks, the weight, everything,” said Demon1.
Constructed from bio-based nylon made using castor oil, the 48-gram mouse is both eco-friendly and ultra-light. It houses the 42,000-dpi ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor with track-on-glass capability and ROG’s optical micro switches rated for 100 million clicks. The new shape supports both claw and fingertip grips, while the redesigned shell improves lift and control.
With support for an 8000Hz polling rate via SpeedNova wireless tech and real-time performance boosts through a dedicated Zone Mode, the mouse caters to high-level competitive play. Additionally, ROG Gear Link enables configuration directly via web browser, avoiding the need for software installations.
ASUS also unveiled the Strix Ace XG248 gaming monitor featuring a 610Hz overclocked refresh rate and 0.8ms input lag, enabled by a Super TN panel. This makes it one of the fastest esports monitors on the market.
Ergonomic accessories and new esports partnerships
To complement its gaming peripherals, ASUS introduced the Sheath II XXL mouse pad and two new gaming chairs—the ROG Courser and Destrier Core. The Courser features 4D adjustable lumbar support, magnetic headrest, and a reclining system with back support. The Destrier Core, now in Moonlight White, is built with a futuristic design and breathable mesh for long sessions.
In a move to deepen its influence in esports, ASUS announced a personal brand partnership with ZywOo. “It feels supersmooth and fast. The switches are the best I’ve used so far,” he said of his experience with the ROG Falchion Ace HFX keyboard. ZywOo, a key member of Team Vitality, recently won his 23rd MVP title at the BLAST Open Lisbon 2025, setting a new HLTV MVP record.
Through these launches and collaborations, ASUS ROG continues to support both professional and aspiring esports players with hardware designed for top-tier performance.
