Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) has always been the reference point for PC hardware: this year the news from CES 2021 are many and many others will be in the making, as well as a beautiful final surprise. Let's start by talking about peripherals and then head to the beating heart of this all-virtual conference proposed via streaming for obvious problems related to COVID 19 which apparently we will carry on in all the meetings of 2021.
ROG Claymore II
In 2016 an innovative and sparkling keyboard arrived on the market but let's face it: at the time the market was already saturated with unbeatable giants and the small weapon from Asus was struggling to find a space of its own. From this year things will change: the Claymore II keyboard comes with a minimalist and multicolored designPowered by an interchangeable numeric keypad that can be moved to the right or left of the keyboard with a simple movement (hey left-handed friends? You heard that right!), the keypad itself has four pre-programmable keys each of which can contain five profiles of your choice linked for example to the build of a game for which with one pressure you could tank your warrior and with two let him be a ferocious assassin. The choice is yours, you can also decide to completely remove the keypad and have more space for the mouse. Nova switch technology that allows the keystroke with 1,5 grams of weight and an excellent cable USB Type-C for both wired and wireless use, in this mode you can play for four hours with Bluetooth 2.4 technology at zero lag or fourteen hours straight if you give up the lighting effects of the keys.
Mouse Gladius III
Mouse, Mouse or more simply modern weapon: this object seems to be the love and hate of every player and yet it has not stopped being here with us for over thirty years. The new Gladius III is equipped with Bluetooth 2.4 and two other zero-lag communication channels, a state-of-the-art optical laser that recognizes the surface it is aiming at for maximum performance, up to 19000 DPI at the player's choice and a USB Type-C for a fast recharge and a rapid passage of data, usable for over eight hours of constant game and also available in fully wired mode depending on the needs.

Available in 28 or 32 and 36 inches, this screen allows a resolution in 4k at 120hrz with HDMI 2.1 for consoles and up to 360hrz in 2K for PC, Gsync, one millisecond of response for an uncompromising monitor.

You are not only a gamer but also a worker well here Zephyrus G15 with RTX 3080 defines itself as the all-round product for play and work thanks also to its 6 speakers, battery for 13 hours of video but if you want something more compact there is the G14 with integrated 3060 and smaller dimensions! Last but not least we find the brand new ROG FLOW G13 the smallest and most powerful of the series 15mm high by 1,3kg can be flipped and made a tablet or portable screen for consoles 10 hours of video per battery. Do you want more power for your games?

The surprises do not end here because you can download a "game" from Steam that will allow you to see these products on your PC and try them in a 3D environment directly from home, another innovation never seen before!
