When it comes to gaming gear, ASUS' Republic of Gamers lineup has a habit of going all-in—mixing flashy design with serious performance. And their latest trio of peripherals, the ROG Harpe Ace mouse, the ROG Pelta headset, and the ROG Azoth keyboard are great examples of this. Tools that have the ability to take your gaming further and truly enhance the experience - without breaking the bank. So let's have a closer look, shall we?
ROG Harpe Ace — Or: Why My Mouse Feels Cheating
First off, the Harpe Ace Extreme is basically the gymnastic elite of gaming mice: ultra-light at just 47 g, thanks to a carbon-fiber shell and lean PCB design, yet still solid and durable. It's ambidextrous, so if you're switching hands mid-round for dramatic effect, the mouse won't complain.
It rocks a 42K-dpi ROG AimPoint Pro sensor (insane precision), optical micro-switches, and the fastest polling rates—8,000 Hz with the ROG Polling Rate Booster. A splendid balance of weight, optics, and design: this thing actually won a Red Dot Design Award. For anyone serious about FPS, it's more than just a peripheral—it's a performance move. If you want a slightly heavier, even more compact sibling? There's even a Harpe Ace Mini (49 g, 42K‑dpi, same SpeedNova tech, tri‑mode wireless, perfect for gamers with smaller hands). Basically, both are gamer candy—pick your flavor.
ROG Pelta Headset — Cozy Comfort with Solid Audio, No Ego Required
The ROG Pelta is like that friend who's not trying to show off—but ends up nailing everything anyway. It prioritizes the essentials: 50 mm titanium‑plated diaphragm drivers, tri‑mode connectivity (USB‑C wired, 2.4 GHz SpeedNova, and Bluetooth), and about 309 g of featherweight comfort.
Truly another banger device from ASUS with a near beastly battery: up to 90 hours with RGB off, 60 hours with it on—long enough to binge games and shows without panicking about charging. It pulls off a classy trick: great sound and mic quality without the premium price tag. In my humble opinion it even outperforms the ROG Delta II when you compare price vs performance. Proving once and for all that more expensive stuff does not always equate to better performance. Small nitpick though: headband has only three size settings, so fit can be finicky—and the mic jack's triangular shape can be awkward to re‑insert properly. . Still, those are minor against its overall cozy, crisp audio package.

ROG Azoth Keyboard — A 75-Percent Gem That's Quiet, Sleek, and Sassy
Last but not least, ROG Azoth — and yes, your keyboard's wheel and OLED flex HARD. It's a 75% gasket-mount mechanical keyboard with three-layer dampening foam, a metal top plate, g‑equipped with pre‑lubed ROG NX switches, hot-swappable, PBT doubleshot keycaps, and a slick OLED display paired with a control knob. Sure it is a bit pricey but the exceptionally low latency, full RGB backlighting, programmable OLED display and build quality more than makes up for the money spent. Premium for sure and there's even a slight revamp available with the Azoth X, for those seeking even more style.
So there it is: three ROG peripherals that each quietly stomp the competition—without needing over-the-top flex. The Harpe Ace delivers unmatched feel and weight for the pros. The Pelta is the "sound and comfort done right" headset that won't break the bank. And the Azoth? That board is a flex of elegance and customizability (with optional extravagance in the X variant). Whether you're optimizing your command center or just want your gear to look (and feel) insane, these ROG pieces are more than just peripherals—they're your digital edge.
