ASUS has brought a huge lineup new ROG hardware at CES 2026, as the gaming brand also celebrates its 20th anniversary since its inception back in 2006; besides new hardware, ROG also unveiled two new collaboration projects: one with XR company XREAL, and another one with Kojima Productions. Yep, the one with Death Stranding under its name. Quite a lot of products to go through, so here’s a list for your reference.

ASUS’s CES 2026 Gaming Arsenal

Gaming Laptops: ROG Zephyrus Duo, ROG Zephyrus Refresh, ROG Flow KJP & Updated TUF Gaming A14

Kicking things off with ROG laptops: The star of the show in this event is the redesigned ROG Zephyrus Duo (GX651), which now packs two identical 16-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) 120Hz Nebula HDR OLED touch displays for screen real estate galore; processing comes courtesy of Intel’s new Panther Lake-based Core Ultra 9 386H CPU (4P+8E+4LPE), while GPU options include NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU and RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. Both configurations managed to escape unscathed (short for guaranteed price hikes) from the RAM crisis with 64GB LPDDR5X-8533 memory onboard, while 2TB SSD is responsible for the storage, with an additional M.2 slot available for expansion.

Meanwhile, the ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16 laptops were refreshed with Intel Core Ultra 300 series processors, with the G14 also featuring Ryzen AI 400-based configurations; GPU’s maximum power draw (under Manual mode) has been increased accordingly to the chassis size, with the 14-inch model now supporting RTX 5080 Laptop GPU at 130W (+10W increase), while the 16-inch can draw 160W TGP (+30W increase) from its RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. The laptop’s display is also updated with a new 1100-nit Nebula HDR display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and Delta-E <1 color accuracy.

Next up, there’s the ROG Flow Z13-KJP, where “KJP” stands for Kojima Productions. The laptop features no hardware changes from the existing Ryzen AI Max-based ROG Flow Z13 launched in 2025, although the hardware and software visuals are all reworked by the studio’s art director, Yoji Shinkawa, featuring the company’s mascot, Ludens. The 2-in-1 gaming tablet is accompanied by themed peripherals, including the ROG Delta II-KJP headset, ROG Keris II Origin-KJP mouse, and ROG Scabbard II XXL-KJP mouse pad, all designed with the same Ludens motif.

Moving on, we have the updated TUF Gaming A14 with two new versions: the FA401GM model features AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 processor (4C+6c, 20 threads) paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU at 115W TGP, while the FA401EA model is equipped with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 processor with 12 Zen 5 cores and Radeon 8060S graphics all packed within a single chip. Both laptop share identical displays (2.5K 165Hz IPS) and storage options (up to 4TB), though RAM options differ: up to 32GB LPDDR5X-7500 for the former, or up to 64GB LPDDR5X-8000 for the latter.

Gaming PCs: New AMD Motherboards, Case Components, ROG G1000 & TUF TM500 PC

ASUS expanded its motherboard lineup with 10 new AMD X870E and B850 models, which include:
– ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial
– ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero
– ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi7 Neo
– ROG Strix X870E-A Gaming WiFi7 Neo
– ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi7 Neo
– ROG Strix B850-A Gaming WiFi7 Neo
– ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi 7 W
– TUF Gaming X870-PRO WiFi 7 W Neo
– TUF Gaming B850-PRO WiFi7 W Neo
– ProArt B850-Creator WiFi Neo

The ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial is the new flagship motherboard with even more powerful VRMs than the X870E Extreme, featuring 24+2+2 stage with the first 26 powerstages all supplied by 110A MOSFETs, while the remaining two is handled by a pair of 80A MOSFETs. It features two PCIe 5.0 SSD slots and one PCIe 4.0 SSD slot onboard, capapble of supporting up to seven M.2 SSDs via two additional expansion cards (ROG Hyper M.2 card and ROG DIMM.2 card). The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero also got its mid-cycle update in ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero.

ASUS said by sharing the second M.2 SSD slot with the USB4 ports, some of the motherboards listed above can support dual PCIe 5.0 x4 SSDs + PCIe 5.0 x16 GPU configuration, whilst leaving enough bandwidth for other peripherals. In the case of X870E Glacier, that means a free third PCIe 3.0 x4 slot for capture cards on top of two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (which itself can operate on x8/x8 mode on dual-GPU setups, also applicable to the ProArt B850 Neo), and in the case of X870E-E Neo, this configuration allows up to five M.2 SSD installations (2x PCIe 5.0 x4 + 3x PCIe 4.0 x4) simultaneously.

Besides that, ROG-branded motherboards will also get a new cable-less design in the form of AIO Q-Connector, which is a set of pogo pins located on the right side of CPU socket. As such, ASUS also introduced a new lineup of AIO coolers to pair with in ROG Strix SLC/LC IV series, available in shortened and standard tubing length variants. For conventional setups, ASUS also introduced ROG Ryuo IV 360 ARGB, which is the standard length variant of the Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB featuring the same curved 6.67-inch AMOLED screen and an Asetek Emma (Gen 8) V2 pump.

Moving on to cases, the ROG Cronox ARGB is a full-tower panoramic PC case with two unique features: a hinged 9.2-inch Full HD LCD module and a patented rotating side intake fan bracket. Like many modern-day cases, it supports rear-connector “BTF” motherboards as well, with support for 14 fans, 400mm GPUs, dual 360mm radiators, and 180mm tower cooler clearance. The ROG Eurux GR120 ARGB fans, meanwhile, uses LCP blades and is rated for 2600RPM speed, 4.6mmH₂O static pressure, 91CFM airflow and 33dbA noise level. It also as a patented feature in its daisy-chain connector, and comes included with a fan controller (supports up to 14 fans) when you purchase a 3-pack unit.

Lastly, we have the gaming PC category – the new ROG G1000 gaming PC features an integrated AniMe Holo holographic display on the side panel, along with 420mm AIO cooling installed within an isolated cooling chamber where HP had a similar implementation before. The CPU is AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, the GPU options include ROG Astral RTX 5090 and Radeon 9070XT, all installed on the PRIME X870-P WIFI motherboard. The PC comes configured with up to 128GB of DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 SSDs up to 4TB in capacity.

ASUS also introduced TUF Gaming TM500 desktop PC, though this one comes with the unusual pairing of a laptop-based AMD Ryzen 7 260 or Ryzen 5 220 processor, and a selection of desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 or AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics. The system RAM also relies on laptop form factors with support for up to 64GB of SODIMM DDR5-5600 memory, while storage is available in two M.2 slots, with up to 1TB SSD available by default.

Displays: ROG Swift OLED Monitors, Fast IPS Monitors & XREAL R1

Ahead of the event, ASUS has already announced its new lineup of ROG Swift OLED gaming monitors: the first model is ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM, which adopt LG Display’s new Tandem OLED panel with RGB stripe subpixel layout to improve text clarity, boost colors, and extend the panel lifespan. The PG27UCWM’s 27-inch panel supports DFR with 4K 240Hz or FHD 480Hz, with TrueBlack Glossy panel to reduce reflections.

Meanwhile, both the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN and ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS feature a 34-inch 1800R-curved ultrawide QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display, which has an equivalent V-Stripe technology to minimize color fringing on text; they’re also equipped with a BlackShield film to improve contrast under bright lighting conditions. The main difference between the two comes down to refresh rate – the former has 360Hz, the latter has 280Hz. There’s also the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen 3, which is a 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panel that uses the same BlackShield film, which we have more details here.

Up next we have the ROG Strix XG27UCG Gen 2 and TUF Gaming VG27UQEL5A, both designed to deliver super fast 0.3ms response time and high refresh rates under DFR (dynamic frequency & resolution) with their 4K Fast IPS panels. The ROG model natively operates at 4K 160Hz, with DFR enabling FHD 480Hz, while the TUF Gaming model runs at 4K 80Hz natively, kicking up several notches to FHD 310Hz if fast motion is the top priority.

For esports players, ASUS has the new ROG Strix XG27AQNGV, which is one of the first to support NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar variable backlight strobing technology that enables 4x in effective motion clarity (compared to LCD panels) with its native 360Hz 1ms Ultrafast IPS panel. It supports QHD resolution natively in a 27-inch display, though competitive players can use a 25-inch mode that maintains native pixel density with 2368 x 1332 resolution, or a good old 1080p resolution. The company also announced the price: $649 (~RM2,656).

Expanding beyond monitors, ROG also introduced the ROG XREAL R1 Gaming Glasses in collaboration with mixed reality company XREAL, featuring micro-OLED displays running at FHD 240Hz with 3ms motion-to-photon latency, up to 57° FOV, and an effective virtual display size of 171 inches at 4 meters. All rendering and tracking is done onboard the glasses, and the lens are equipped with electrochromic technology which helps adjust lens transparency depending on lighting conditions. Audio maker Bose also got involved in working out the audio side of things.

Audio & Peripherals: ROG Kithara, ROG Cetra Open Wireless, ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE

On the audio side of things, there’s two new products – the first is the all-new ROG Kithara, the brand’s flagship planar magnetic gaming headset co-developed with HIFIMAN. This unit comes with a pair of 100mm ROG-tuned HIFIMAN drivers, offering audio frequency range from 8Hz to 55,000Hz, along with an open-back design that enhances soundstage. Its microphone uses full-band MEMS driver to pickup the full hearing range of 20-20,000Hz, and the input comes with two 3.5mm jacks to prevent signal crosstalk. This can be swapped to 4.4mm balanced or 6.3mm (1/4-inch) connectors for specialized DACs and amplifiers, or USB-C for smartphones.

The second audio entry is the ROG Cetra Open Wireless, now adopting an open-ear design primarily focused for outdoor use. The earbuds’ uses a pair of 14.2mm diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated drivers, which on the software level also features Phantom Bass and Immersion Mode. It connects via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless, with its 2.4GHz dongle supporting passthrough power to the host device; it’s also IPX5-rated, and comes with liquid silicone ear hooks, a reflective detachable neck strap, and full button-based physical controls. A single charge offers up to 16 hours of playback in Bluetooth mode.

Only a single gaming peripheral has been introduced in CES 2026, and that is the ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard. This new model scales the Falchion’s 65% form factor up to 75% with the addition of Function keys, and comes with hot-swappable ROG HFX V2 or V2X magnetic switches that operates between 0.1-3.5mm actuation. As the esports-focused model, it comes with features like 8000Hz polling rate, rapid trigger mode, and Speed Tap (SOCD) mode.

One More Thing: ROG NeoCore Wi-Fi 8 Concept Router

Finally, as we’re barely getting warmed up with Wi-Fi 7 standard, ASUS has got ahead and demonstrated Wi-Fi 8 connectivity with the new ROG NeoCore concept router. It should be noted that the upcoming Wi-Fi standard is not going to be fully ratified until 2028, but since the draft specification is out, it’s enough for ASUS to start building products (or at least, concepts) with.

The main direction Wi-Fi 8 is heading is less about speed – evidently, most Wi-Fi 7 routers these days can churn out bandwidth faster than most devices can chew. Instead, this new spec will focus on reliability, so while the numbers may not be necessarily become bigger, there will be notable real-life improvements with this new approach. Per ASUS, Wi-Fi 8 will feature things like unequal modulation (UEQM), coordinated beamforming (Co-BF), coordinated spatial reuse (Co-SR), ECDA, and many more aimed to solve issues in connectivity that may emerge outside of ideal (often unachievable in real world) Wi-Fi environments.

Pokdepinion: That is a lot of stuffs, despite what looks to be a relatively quiet year on the consumer space.
