TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 25, 2026 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced its growing commitment to esports through new product launches, expanded partnerships with elite teams and pro players, and a dedicated social media channel. ROG has developed high-performance Ace Collection gaming gear informed by insights from professional teams and athletes.

ROG Gladius IV Ace: Refined for competitive play

The ROG Gladius IV Ace was developed through extensive sports-science testing and iterative evaluations with esports players. The ergonomic shape reduces muscle strain during competitive play. Testing showed that after fatigue, the Gladius remained stable in velocity and acceleration, users spent less average time off target, and displayed higher hit accuracy in 180-degree flick scenarios.

The mouse features a center-balanced design with a default weight of 56 grams, plus stackable 3g, 5g, and 7g weights for seven additional configurations. Each unit is individually machine-tested to verify left- and right-click consistency within 5gf.

ROG SpeedNova 8K Gen II technology includes an enhanced receiver with a large antenna to strengthen wireless signal quality. The receiver detects surrounding RF conditions and indicates connection quality in real time, while Active Dynamic Hopping scans for optimal channels to reduce interference. Dual LEDs provide quick RF status feedback, customizable via Gear Link.

The ROG AimPoint Pro 65K optical sensor delivers up to 65,000dpi, 800ips, and 70g maximum acceleration, with 11 selectable lift-off-distance levels. With up to 20,000 frames-per-second scanning and 8000Hz polling, the sensor captures movement quickly for responsive tracking. Zone Mode provides competitive-gaming hardware settings, while Dynamic TX Power Control offers maximum transmission strength and stronger anti-interference performance.

The Gladius IV Ace includes a dedicated carry case for tournaments, scrims, bootcamps, and LANs. Players can customize settings through Gear Link via browser with no software downloads required, enabling faster setups across practice rooms, tournament PCs, and shared systems.

ROG OLED esports monitors

ROG brings OLED technology to competitive gaming with exceptional color, contrast, and consistent color reproduction. Self-lit OLED pixels respond almost instantly for sharp motion clarity. Unlike conventional LCD esports monitors, OLED requires no backlight, reducing eye strain during extended play while delivering fast, consistent imagery for high-stakes competition.

As the world's No.1 OLED gaming monitor brand, ROG introduced three new 24.5-inch monitors developed with direct input from professional players: the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace, and ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace. These expand the ROG OLED esports lineup alongside the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, which debuted at Computex 2026.

All Ace monitors include integrated measurement scales on the stand for reproducing preferred setups, a Quick OSD menu for fast adjustments, and three Esports Color modes tuned for different FPS gaming scenarios. Gallium Nitride Field-Effect Transistor (GaNFET) technology in the power supply optimizes heat dissipation for extended OLED lifespan.

ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace

The ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace features a 720Hz refresh rate, making it the fastest model in the series. Its TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED panel produces sharp imagery with deep blacks even under bright arena lighting, up to 1700-nits peak brightness, and Dolby Vision support for realistic HDR visuals. An integrated Position Sensor measures and displays the gamer's preferred setup angles on-screen, helping players reproduce precise configurations at home, in practice, or during competition. This model is the official esports monitor of the 2026 PGL Major tournament.

A stage this historic deserves a display to match. The first OLED Major on the fastest OLED ever made — it's a new generation of competitive Counter-Strike.

The ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace will be available in early Q4 with MSRPs of US$1099 and US$699 respectively.

ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace

The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace is a 560Hz RGB QD-OLED panel with BlackShield Film and anti-glare low-reflection coating that boost perceived black levels by up to 40% and increase panel hardness by 2.5 times. The monitor delivers vivid colors and glare-free visuals for competitive play. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), two HDMI 2.1, and three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports.

ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace

The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace combines an RGB QD-OLED panel with BlackShield Film and anti-glare coating with a 360Hz refresh rate, enabling a wider base of players to access Ace-grade esports visuals and pro-tuned setup tools. Connectivity includes DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) and HDMI 2.1.

ROG expands its esports partnerships

ROG announced its partnership with GamerLegion as an official peripherals sponsor, supporting the team with ROG gaming mice, keyboards, mouse pads, and other esports-focused gear.
