ASUS ROG Gamescom 2026 lineup showcases a series of esports‑focused hardware, headlined by an OLED screen that aims to set a new performance benchmark for competitive play.
New OLED displays for esports
The flagship ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace is a 24.5‑inch panel that runs at 720 Hz with a 0.02 ms response time, a specification the maker describes as the fastest OLED screen to date. It uses a TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED panel for deep blacks even under bright arena lighting.
Built‑in position sensors report tilt, height and swivel angles on‑screen, allowing pros to copy exact setups between venues without guesswork. The model has been named the official display for the 2026 PGL CS2 Major, which the tournament’s CEO called “the first OLED Major” paired with “the fastest OLED ever made.”

Pricing is set at $1,099, and shipments begin in early Q4 2026.
The lineup arrives in late 2026.
Two lower‑priced Ace‑branded displays follow. The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace offers a 560 Hz QD‑OLED panel with a BlackShield Film coating that the brand claims improves perceived black levels by up to 40 %. The XG259QDNS Ace shares the same panel type but caps at 360 Hz, targeting gamers who prefer a more affordable entry point.
Both models retain the Ace line’s pro tools, such as on‑screen measurement scales, a quick OSD menu, and FPS‑tuned color presets. The Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, debuted at Computex 2026, is priced at $699.

The XG27ACNS uses a Fast IPS panel that toggles between QHD @ 475 Hz, Full HD @ 620 Hz, or HD @ 920 Hz, and includes the brand’s Gaming AI suite for visual enhancements.
New peripherals and networking gear
The ROG Gladius IV Ace mouse features a sports‑science‑tested ergonomic shape, a 56‑gram weight and modular weights in seven configurations. It pairs the new ROG AimPoint Pro 65K sensor (65,000 dpi, 11‑level lift‑off) with ROG SpeedNova 8K Gen II wireless for 8 K polling. Customization is handled through a browser‑based Gear Link interface.

For MMO enthusiasts, the ROG Spatha X 65K offers 12 programmable buttons, five weight‑balance setups, and hot‑swappable switches—either a 100‑million‑click ROG Micro Switch II or a quieter 50‑million‑click Silent version. Connectivity includes 2.4 GHz RF, Bluetooth, and wired USB, plus a magnetic charging dock that doubles as a display stand.
On the keyboard side, the ROG Strix Morph 96 X Wireless brings hot‑swappable NX V2 switches, a gasket mount for quieter acoustics, and dedicated macOS shortcuts. A budget alternative, the ASUS TUF Gaming K4 Magnetic, uses magnetic switches with adjustable actuation and an 8,000 Hz polling rate.
The ROG Raikiri II Pro controller adds TMR hot‑swappable joysticks, anti‑drift protection, and up to 79 hours of battery life in wireless mode.
