New esports OLED gaming monitors, the ROG Gladius returns, and more: see the ROG gear from Gamescom 2026

We’ve brought our A-game to Gamescom 2026, revealing a host of jaw-dropping ROG gear that’ll level up anybody’s setup. Between new esports OLEDs, triple-mode gaming monitors, the latest evolution of our ROG Gladius gaming mouse, a cutting-edge WiFi 8 gaming router, and more, we have all the tech you need to compete in 2026.
24.5-inch ROG OLED monitors change the game for esports players
Earlier this year, we announced our first 24.5‑inch OLED gaming monitor, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, but we’re not stopping there. We’re expanding the lineup with new RGB QD‑OLED and Tandem WOLED models so you can choose the compact, esports-optimized display that best complements your setup. Each of these monitors packs integrated measurement scales, esports-tuned color modes, and more to enable consistent pro-level play.

Our QD‑OLED additions include the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace and the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace. Both FHD displays use an RGB Stripe QD‑OLED panel and measure 24.5 inches. The XG259QDNS Ace runs at a blisteringly fast 360Hz, while the XG259QDPG Ace pushes refresh rates even further with a 560Hz panel. Thanks to their BlackShield Film, these monitors deliver rich OLED contrast with reduced glare, producing accurate colors and deep blacks across every game you play.
Fans of Tandem WOLED panels can look to the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace and the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace. These 24.5‑inch FHD displays offer 0.02ms response times for exceptional motion clarity. The XG259QWPG Ace pairs a 540Hz refresh rate with G‑SYNC compatibility to maintain razor‑sharp motion and consistent frame pacing during competitive play. If you want even more speed, the PG259QWS Ace reaches a staggering 720Hz and features our TrueBlack Glossy coating, giving you the brilliance of a glossy OLED screen while preserving the authentic darkness of OLED blacks.
New ROG triple-mode monitors pack up to 920Hz refresh rates and three ways to play
Variety gamers need screens that can adapt to what they’re playing, whether they want maximum resolution for AAA blockbusters, insane refresh rates for competitive multiplayer, or balanced options for titles that fall between those poles. Our triple‑mode monitors deliver an optimal experience across all game types, giving you a single display that can shift roles on demand.

The ROG Strix XG27UCMG is our 27‑inch 4K IPS powerhouse. It offers 4K 240Hz for ultra‑detailed blockbusters, QHD 400Hz (OC) when you need higher frame rates, and FHD 488Hz (OC) for the biggest competitive edge online. Switching modes lets you tailor the display to the exact demands of each game, whether you need the highest resolution or maximum motion clarity.
If you’re all‑in on esports optimization, the ROG Strix XG27ACNS pushes speed even further. This 27‑inch QHD Fast IPS monitor offers QHD 475Hz (OC), FHD 620Hz, or HD 920Hz. These refresh rates ensure no frames escape your sight. No enemies will be able to pull a fast one on you when you're seeing up to 920 frames worth of information every single second.
New ROG gaming mouse and keyboard options level up your desk
Our gaming mouse arsenal is getting a big upgrade, starting with the ROG Gladius IV Ace. Shaped by data from pro players, we engineered this mouse to be an ergonomic powerhouse that minimizes muscle strain and maximizes competitive gains. Tune its weight to your liking — it starts at a light 56g, and you can bump it all the way up to 71g. Its ROG AimPoint Pro 65K sensor delivers up to 65,000 dpi for consistent tracking, and ROG optical micro switches provide equally consistent click force. Combine all of that with true 8K Hz wireless polling, browser-based customization with Gear Link, and four striking colorways, and you’ve got a mouse ready for any ROG battlestation. Click here to learn more about what the ROG Gladius IV Ace brings to your setup.

Our other new mouse takes customization to the extreme. MMO fans fondly remember the ROG Spatha X, which gave you more ways to click than ever before. We’re leveling up that experience with the ROG Spatha X 65K. It offers 12 programmable buttons, modular weight tuning, and an AimPoint Pro 65K sensor for unrivaled precision. You can set the mouse’s weight anywhere from 126g up to 146g and choose your preferred ROG switch, whether you want the ultra‑durable ROG Micro Switch II or the muted feel of the ROG Silent Micro Switch. Combined with its deep customization options through Gear Link, this mouse gives MMO players total control over every aspect of their experience. You can enjoy all that flexibility wirelessly thanks to the Spatha X 65K’s ultra‑low‑latency ROG SpeedNova technology.

If you need a cutting-edge new keyboard, we’ve got you covered there, too. The ROG Strix Morph 96 Wireless X keyboard features hot‑swappable ROG NX V2 switches, a south‑facing PCB for easy keycap modding, and full customization from top to bottom. You can swap internal components like the positioning plate and dampening foam, detach the wrist rest, adjust the RGB, and fine‑tune every detail until the board feels exactly the way you want. Its tri‑mode connectivity lets you enjoy an ultra‑low‑latency ROG SpeedNova 2.4GHz connection with a USB‑C receiver, switch to Bluetooth, or go wired when you prefer. With striking dye‑sublimated keycaps and flexible setup options, the Morph 96 X bundles premium ROG aesthetics with the freedom to play your way.
The ROG Rapture GT-BN98 takes WiFi 8 gaming by storm
As the world’s first WiFi 8 gaming router, the ROG Rapture GT‑BN98 delivers next‑gen wireless performance with rock‑solid stability, low latency, and excellent multi‑device handling.

Wielding AI Game Boost and intelligent network optimization technology, the GT‑BN98 automatically prioritizes gaming traffic and routes it through the most reliable paths based on live network conditions. When you jump into a match, your session gets top priority even in congested environments.
Its expansive wired capacity and long‑range wireless coverage make it a powerhouse for any battlestation.
