ASUS ROG has revealed its newest lineup of competitive gaming hardware headlined by a 720Hz OLED monitor and an ultra lightweight esports mouse. The collection includes the ROG Gladius IV Ace alongside 3 distinct 24.5 inch OLED displays built specifically for tournament play. The flagship ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace display will launch in early Q4 priced at $1099.
Raw speed is the main focus here. The standout display is the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, which reaches a 720Hz refresh rate on a 24.5 inch Tandem WOLED panel. The screen uses a TrueBlack Glossy finish to maintain deep black levels under stage lights, hits 1700 nits of peak brightness, and supports Dolby Vision HDR. It even has a built in Position Sensor that tracks physical viewing angles so players can dial in their exact monitor position at LAN events. The screen is already locked in as the official monitor for the 2026 PGL Major.
A stage this historic deserves a display to match. The first OLED Major on the fastest OLED ever made, it is a new generation of competitive Counter Strike.
ASUS is also releasing 2 QD OLED models. The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace runs at 560Hz and uses BlackShield Film with an anti glare coating that increases perceived black levels by 40% and boosts panel hardness by 2.5 times. It includes 1 DisplayPort 1.4 connection, 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, and 3 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports. For players who want a lower price point, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace delivers the same panel technology at 360Hz. The companion ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace model will also land in Q4 with a price tag of $699.
The ROG Gladius IV Ace mouse addresses competitive control with a 56 gram center balanced shell. Players who want extra heft get 3g, 5g, and 7g stackable weights that allow for 7 different balance layouts. Every single unit goes through individual factory switch testing to guarantee that left and right click actuation forces match within a tight 5gf margin.
Tracking performance relies on the AimPoint Pro 65K optical sensor. This unit tracks up to 65000 dpi, 800 ips, and 70g acceleration, backed by 11 selectable lift off distance settings. Movement polling hits 8000Hz with a scanning speed of 20000 frames per second. The mouse connects through SpeedNova 8K Gen II wireless technology, using dual indicator lights to show real time signal strength. Settings can be adjusted directly inside a web browser through Gear Link, eliminating software installations on tournament computers.
ASUS is backing this hardware launch with expanded competitive partnerships. The brand signed an official peripheral sponsorship with esports organization GamerLegion to supply mice, keyboards, and mouse pads for tournament play. Popular creator and former competitive Apex Legends player Timothy iiTzTimmy An has also joined the partner roster to showcase new gear and assist with product input. Fans can follow tournament updates and behind the scenes hardware testing through the newly launched ROG Ace Esports Instagram channel.
