ASUS is expanding its availability of high-end gaming hardware and components through various retail channels.

Previously, the ROG Raikiri II Pro controller launched in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, featuring a color display and 8000 Hz polling rate. The ROG Keris II Ace gaming mouse was also made available at a discounted price, and the ASUS Prime AP201 MicroATX case was introduced for PC builders.

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has since announced a new lineup of esports-focused peripherals. In Japan, the ROG Pelta Core Gaming Headset is scheduled for release on September 4; the 300g lightweight device features 50mm titanium-coated diaphragm drivers. A limited edition ROG Hone Control Ace L Vitality Edition Mouse Pad, created in collaboration with Team Vitality, will also be released, utilizing high-friction cloth for micro-aiming.

Further expanding its mouse offerings, ROG introduced the Gladius IV Ace and the Spatha X 65K. The Gladius IV Ace is an ergonomic 56g mouse featuring an AimPoint Pro 65K sensor and SpeedNova 8K Gen II wireless technology. The Spatha X 65K is tailored for MMO players, providing 12 programmable buttons, five weight-and-balance configurations, and a magnetic charging dock. Both mice support Gear Link for browser-based tuning.
