ASUS ROG Teases Continued Refinement of Modular Hardware Concepts

Browse the list of bestselling PC cases on Amazon, and you'll see a pattern emerge very quickly. Today's PC builders aren't deciding whether they want a tempered glass side panel: they're deciding how many of these panels they want. Panoramic PC cases provide an undeniably gorgeous view of your internal PC hardware, so it's no wonder that they've soared in popularity. But that wide-open panorama does pose a problem for people who prefer a pristine PC. If you have a stray cable or wire in such a build, you'll notice it every time you sit down at your desk.

Already, we offer an ecosystem of BTF motherboards, PC cases, and graphics cards that help you tuck your PC's wires and cables out of sight. But we're interested in doing even more, and we're eager to present solutions that work with traditional PC hardware designs, not just BTF. Behind the scenes, we've been working on modular hardware concepts that cut down on cable clutter for two key components: chassis fans and AIO coolers. Visitors to our Computex 2025 booth will get to see this concept hardware in action, but perhaps a trip to Taipei isn't in the works for you this year. Let's take a closer look.

ASUS ROG Harpe II Ace Gaming Mouse Debuted at Computex 2025

Prior to official kick-off day, the TechPowerUp team was kindly invited to have a sneak peek around the ASUS booth. Brand-new Republic of Gamers (ROG) Harpe II Ace gaming mice were on full view (with black or white livery), sitting atop second-gen Sheath XXL mouse pads. The original ROG Harpe design was released over two years ago; as an Ace Aim Lab Edition. Last year, two spin-offs were introduced last summer: Harpe Ace Extreme and Harpe Ace Mini. ROG's freshest offering appears to utilize familiar internal components; most notably the cutting-edge AimPoint Pro optical sensor—very likely derived from Pixart's flagship PAW3950 model. Other mainstays include ROG's Optical Micro Switches (rated up to 100 million clicks) and SpeedNova 8K wireless system.

The ROG Harpe II Ace is built with a special and innovative bio-based nylon material, that contributes very little weight. A product placard advertises a total unit weight of 49 grams; only 2 g lighter than the ultra-premium Harpe Ace Extreme model. This $249.99 (MSRP) option features a fully CNC-machined carbon fiber top shell. The company has collaborated with Max "Demon1" Mazanov and other esport champions; thus refining the right-hand ambidextrous Harpe design for a new generation. Instead of using three or four skates, the Harpe II Ace is outfitted with two large chunks of rounded-edge pure PTFE. Gear Link—a web-based platform—grants access to hardware configuration; a massive plus point. TechPowerUp's pzogel has often directed criticism at the manufacturer's Armoury Crate software suite. A "lighter" and "less intrusive" package—called Armoury Crate Gear—was pushed out in recent times, but gaming mouse purists (largely) remain unconvinced.

ASUS Strix Ace XG248QSG 24.1-inch Super TN Gaming Monitor Boasts up to 610 Hz (OC) Refresh Rate

ASUS has unveiled at Computex 2025 show its new ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG gaming monitor, featuring an impressive 24.1-inch Full HD (1080p) Super TN panel capable of reaching up to 610 Hz refresh rate in overclocked mode. Alongside its exceptional refresh rate, the XG248QSG delivers ultra-low input lag of just 0.8 ms that is 2.25x faster than its competitor (under 600 Hz) On the response time the monitor is capable of achieving a rapid 0.1 ms response time via ASUS's GameFast Technology. As we can clearly see this monitor is aimed at competitive gamers and esports pros putting speed and quick response first while still giving good visual quality.

The monitor uses ASUS's Extreme Low Motion Blur 2 (ELMB 2) technology, which reduce the motion blur while keeping brightness levels up to 65% higher than similar technologies from other brands (ASUS says). Moreover, despite using TN panel the display gives good color covering with 90% of the DCI-P3 range. The ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG also has some handy design features, like a base that's 30% smaller to save desk room and adjustable ergonomics. Exact pricing and availability are yet to be announced.

ASUS ROG Falcata is a 75% Split Layout Keyboard with ROG HFX V2 Magnetic Switches

At the Computex 2025 booth, we checked out ASUS's latest keyboard offering: the ROG Falcata. ASUS touts it as a thoughtfully engineered tool for gamers and creatives who demand precision. Visually, the Falcata's 75% split‑layout immediately stands out, inviting a more natural hand position and reduced wrist strain. ASUS has paired this ergonomic design with detachable silicone wrist rests, so you can fine‑tune your setup for marathon sessions. But the real magic happens beneath the keycaps. ASUS's brand‑new ROG HFX V2 switches employ Hall‑effect sensors to detect actuation with an astonishing 0.01 mm accuracy. That translates to virtually zero debounce time and flawless, lightning‑fast input registration. The Falcata's acoustic profile is refined by a layered damping system, ensuring each keystroke feels solid yet sound‑muted.

On the connectivity front, the Falcata offers dual‑mode flexibility. Engage the ROG SpeedNova 8K wireless link for an ultra‑low‑latency 8 kHz polling rate, or plug in via USB‑C to eliminate any potential lag. Beyond basic settings, configuration lives in the cloud: Gear Link, ASUS's new web‑based portal, stores your profiles and lighting schemes online, so you can pick up exactly where you left off—at home, at the office, or at a tournament. A dedicated "Zone Mode" further enhances competitive play by optimizing key matrices and virtually eliminating ghosting, no matter how frenetic the keystrokes become. And, of course, per‑key RGB lighting lets you customize every detail. ROG aficionados can expect the Falcata on shelves in early July 2025.

ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 DOOM Edition Isn't Just a Sticker Job

ASUS at the 2025 Computex showed off the ROG Astral RTX 5080 DOOM Edition graphics card. If you've been paying attention to the company's ROG Astral Dhahab Edition cards lately, you know that ASUS is on a spree releasing custom variants of the ROG Astral series. Much like the Dhahab Edition, the DOOM Edition isn't just a sticker job, ASUS put in effort to customize the color of its cooler shroud, and other body panels. The card commemorates "DOOM: The Dark Ages," which released late last week. You can see sticker artwork from the game on the backplate. The cooler shroud is in a color scheme matching the aesthetic of the game. Decals of the Slayer shield takes up the fan impeller hubs. More interestingly, the aluminium fin-stack heatsink has a reddish copper-like finish. This is a different shade from the gold ones in the Dhahab Edition, and the silver-chrome ones in the regular ROG Astral cards. Shown at Computex is the RTX 5080 DOOM Edition. We've tested the technical aspects of the game, and can tell you that the RTX 5080 can max out the game at 4K UHD, so it's unlikely that there will be an RTX 5090 DOOM Edition.

ASUS VGA Innovations at Computex 2025: RTX 50-series Noctua Edition, Flexible BTF

ASUS at the 2025 Computex showed us a few of its latest innovations in custom-design graphics cards. To begin with, the company unveiled a flexible BTF (backside cabling) solution. If you recall from the RTX 40-series BTF cards from ASUS, they all came with second gold-finger for power, which made these cards unfit for regular motherboards, as the power gold-finger would obstruct something on the motherboard, such as a PCH heatsink. With the RTX 50-series BTF cards, ASUS recessed the power gold finger such that the card has the dimensions of a regular card, and can be powered by its 12V2x6 power connector; but on motherboards with BTF capability, a breakaway power gold finger riser can be attached, so it behaves like a BTF card, letting you unplug the 12V2x6—quite genius.

Next up, ASUS unveiled the RTX 50-series Noctua Edition, with the debut of an RTX 5080 Noctua. You see Noctua cooling innovation blend more closely with ASUS design, the card no longer looks like something with an aftermarket air-cooler strapped on. This is still a large 4-slot card, but no longer 5-slot. The heatsink features many of the design innovations Noctua introduced for its CPU air coolers. The heatsink fin-stack has cavities in which the FDB fans are recessed into. The card appears slightly larger and heavier than the ROG Astral air-cooled.
