One of the most exciting announcements in recent years is the introduction of water-cooling in a laptop. ROG is the world’s first to have a laptop benefit from water-cooling, with this amount of cooling higher performance hardware (which of course generates more heat) can be implemented, hardware can be pushed much harder and the system can be overclocked much easier. Even the Intel 6th Gen. processor can be overclocked while connected to the new water-cooling dock. ROG GX700 incorporates the latest Nvidia graphics to power games in 4K on the gorgeous 17-inch 4K IPS display – which is also a world’s first.
On the exterior the new ROG theme was shown off at IFA 2015, the Armor Titanium and Plasma Copper color scheme makes the GX700 irresistible inside and out.
ROG G752 Gaming Laptop
Like the ROG GX700, both laptops feature backlit anti-ghosting 30-key rollover to make sure key-presses are registered in the heat of the battle, and also a new dust-release thermal solution to effectively increase system stability and durability. At the core, there is the new Intel 6th Gen. processor paired with up to an Nvidia GTX 980M with 8GB of GDDR5 VRAM for heavy-duty gaming requirements. The successor to the G751 also adds Thunderbolt 3.0 technology for speeds up to 20Gb/s and a new chassis with the new ROG theme. For storage, there is the option of adding an M.2 PCIe X4 SSD with NVMe support for extreme speeds when booting-up, loading a game or transferring files. ROG G752 will come in three tasty flavors – G752VL, G752VT and G752VY.

ASUS Announces Strix Brand and Strix Pro Gaming Headset
Gaming headset boasts 60mm neodymium-magnet drivers, 90% environmental-noise cancellation, and PC, Mac, PS4 and smart-device compatibility
ASUS today announced its new Strix brand and Strix Pro, a multi-platform gaming headset engineered with powerful 60mm neodymium-magnet drivers, full-size hexagonal ear cushions (130mm across at the widest point) and technology that filters our over 90% of environmental noise. Strix Pro is compatible with PCs, Macs, PlayStation® 4 consoles and many smartphones and tablets. Taken from the ancient Roman and Greek word for owl, Strix is the brand name for the stunning new ASUS gaming-gear series. Strix means the keenest hearing and sharpest eyesight and the ability to feel the environment, enabling the player to detect and react to even the slightest movement. Strix means survival on the very edge of instinct. Strix is in gamers’ blood, just as it is in ours. The Strix brand will this year expand to include a wide variety of gaming gear, including exceptionally-agile mice, boundary-pushing keyboards, super-cool graphics cards and awesome gaming headsets. The first products to appear are graphics cards and Strix Pro — a high-style gaming headset inspired by the owl’s unique combination of supreme hunting agility, great speed and highly-attuned hearing.
Game immersed — thunderous 60mm drivers
The Strix Pro gaming headset is engineered with powerful 60mm neodymium-magnet drivers that deliver unrivalled punch and audio immersion that is utterly convincing. Gamers are treated to an audio experience that allows them to hear every gunshot and know enemies are nearby from their footsteps alone. Strix Pro also offers a superb listening experience for any kind of audio, adapting to faithfully reproduce roomy stadium rock and crisp, clear spoken-word audio. The thunderous bass produced by Strix Pro’s large drivers brings movie soundtracks to life.
Game with enhanced clarity — greater than 90% environmental-noise cancellation
Strix Pro is supplied with a USB-powered control box that includes a built-in microphone (mic) to enable highly-effective environmental-noise-cancellation (ENC) technology. Strix Pro’s ENC technology actively detects and effectively counters more than 90% of environmental noise.[1] In this mode, gamers are assured that teammates won’t be distracted in chat by noises occurring nearby, such as the tapping of mechanical keyboards.
Game across devices — compatibility with PCs, Macs, PlayStation 4 and smart devices
Strix Pro is an exceptionally versatile gaming headset that works with most popular devices and it is engineered for convenience and flexibility. The USB control box is accompanied by a 1.5m extension lead with separate headphone and mic plugs, for great compatibility with PC and Mac. The unique five-pole connector eliminates crosstalk for audio, giving communication quality that surpasses many other headsets. Strix Pro is also perfect for smartphones, tablets and PlayStation 4, with a combined audio/mic supplied for instant compatibility. ASUS research shows that a 1.2m cable is the perfect length for mobile or PlayStation 4 controller use, so Strix Pro is equipped with precisely this span. The connecting cable is manufactured with a braided-fiber sheath for added style, comfort and superb durability.
Game everywhere — travel-friendly foldable design, low weight and great comfort
Strix Pro’s full-size hexagonal ear cushions provide a snug fit, great comfort and easy customization — the cushions are user-replaceable. The headset also benefits from a clever foldable design that allows the ear cups to lay flat, making it ideal for packing and bringing to a LAN party or tournament, while the detachable microphone boom is perfect for easy removal, travel and storage. Weighing just 320g, Strix Pro is also highly portable and supremely comfortable to wear.

ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Gladius Gaming Mouse
Ergonomically-designed wired optical mouse for unbeatable gaming performance with a 6400dpi optical sensor and exclusive customizable click resistance
ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced the ROG Gladius optical wired gaming mouse. This highly-advanced mouse has been engineered for right-handed gamers who demand precision, ergonomic comfort, and a competitive advantage in first-person shooter (FPS) games. Gladius is packed with gaming-related features including an exclusive easy-swap switch socket design for customizable click resistance, a two-level in-game DPI switch, two ergonomic slide-to-press side switches, and a 6400 dots per inch (DPI) optical sensor that tracks up to 200 inches per second and 50g acceleration.
Designed with input from the world’s top gamers
ROG sought input from the world’s top pro gamers during the initial design stages to get the right look and feel for ROG Gladius. Measuring 126 x 67 x 45mm and weighing just 116g, Gladius has an ergonomically-designed chassis that perfectly fits all mouse grip types ranging from the palm, claw, or fingertips; while tactile rubber side panels adorned with intricate Mayan-inspired lines to ensure a secure grip in the heat of battle. Gladius has a steel-grey finish with a special sweat-resistant coating that maintains a comfortable feel even during marathon gaming sessions.
Six programmable buttons are provided in total, with left and right buttons that are independent of the mouse chassis to ensure exceptional responsiveness. There are also two programmable slide-to-press side switches that can be triggered by sliding the thumb forward; along with a scroll wheel with an Alps® encoder provides a positive feel.
Unbeatable gaming performance
ROG Gladius has an advanced 6400DPI optical sensor capable of tracking up to 200 inches per second and up to 50g acceleration at lift-off distances of 1.5mm. The DPI clutch enables instant switching between two sensitivity levels — a standard mode tuned at 1600DPI for everyday gameplay, and an extra-low speed mode at 400DPI for better aim and more accurate sniping.
Gladius makes use of high-quality Omron® mouse switches that are good for at least 20 million clicks; the ROG-exclusive easy-swap socket makes switch replacement simple, and two Japanese-made additional switches are also included for gamers wanting to personalize the click response for a different feel.
To enable gamers to save their profiles, Gladius has built-in flash memory. The innovative Armoury software lets users create, customize and store an unlimited number of profiles on their PCs or gaming notebooks.The software includes a calibration tool that analyzes and learns surface characteristics to hone sensor accuracy for pixel-perfect precision and better in-game responsiveness for that added advantage.
Built for home or LAN parties
ROG Gladius comes with a 2-meter braided USB cable for desktop use and a regular 1-meter USB travel cable for use at LAN parties or internet cafes. A one-push release button detaches the cable from Gladius with a simple click. The micro USB port sits a few millimeters above the table surface and is angled at an incline to prevent the connector from dragging on the desk. Every Gladius mouse comes with a ROG carry pouch, two ROG logo stickers, and four smooth-glide mouse feet.
