Bold pops of pink set our new Electro Punk lineup apart from the competition

Color adds brightness and personality to everything. We have a long history of weaving Aura Sync into a huge ecosystem of devices to let you better express yourself through your gear, but illumination isn’t fit for every locale. Plenty of people want a hint of personality that doesn’t need to be powered on first. That’s why we’re broadening our palette with a new series of eye-popping Electro Punk devices.

Where our Original Black and Glacier Blue laptop shades are more classic and cool, Electro Punk has a rebellious streak that’s eager to stand out. Punchy pink highlights against black backgrounds distinguish this lineup from its buttoned-up brethren. We’re making this color combo available on our ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop, ROG Strix Go series headsets, ROG Strix Impact II mouse, ROG Strix Scope TKL keyboard, ROG Sheath mouse pad, and ROG Ranger BP1503 backpack. Go bold and gear up with hardware designed to take your game to the next level.

Picture perfect pigment

Creating a new color for any ROG device takes incredible care. Every potential tint has to expand our palette in an exciting new direction, while maintaining our high aesthetic standards. We have to consider the shade itself, how to implement it, and how to match it across a variety of materials and surfaces. That difficulty doubles for shades shared by a diverse array of devices. Laptops and peripherals are typically developed in different departments, so making this collection look cohesive required considerable cooperation.

Fortunately, our designers have long wanted to fold cyberpunk-inspired neons into our palette, which made narrowing down our initial options easy. Much as we did for our ROG PNK LTD line, we experimented with a range of tints, from robust roses to crisp corals. After scrutinizing our preferred picks in a number of different lightings and environments, we settled on a high-energy hue with the hex color code #F7266B.

To make that look even more impactful, we put it up against a classic black backdrop. Darker materials are great because they hold up well over time, which is crucial for heavily handled machines. Laptops are pulled in and out of bags for gaming on the go, mice can exhibit wear around their sides and buttons, and headphones stand up to constant use. Black keeps devices looking crisp and clean for longer, while adding the perfect contrast to our new robust rose.

Aura Sync accents amplify many of our Electro Punk devices as well. Devices with Aura Sync are pre-set to the same shade to make our plastics, fabrics, and paints truly pop. RGB can always be tweaked and tailored to perfection within our ROG Armoury Crate utility, or reset back to default for impeccable coordination.

The ROG Strix G15 Electro Punk gaming laptop

With its laser focus on gaming fundamentals and everyday performance, the ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop has always been a plum pick for your pocketbook. Our new 15” Electro Punk edition keeps everything we love about this device and gives it a coral crown. A sleek stripe around the chassis mirrors the outlined edge of the touchpad, while colored cyber-text patterning adorns the deck. Brighter touches include highlighted WASD keys and the unmissable ROG logo splashed across the lid.

Inside, the Strix G15 boasts the latest 10th Gen Intel® processors and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ graphics. Up to an Intel® Core™ i7 CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads to speed through everyday work and play. Thanks to exotic liquid metal thermal compound we’ve painted across our entire 2020 lineup of laptops featuring 10th Gen Intel CPUs, these processors perform even better while producing less noise.

For sublime gaming visuals, up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2070 SUPER GPU breezes through everything from AAA blockbusters to battle royales. It’s combined with up to a 240Hz gaming display that enables sublimely smooth graphics for action-packed titles. The panel’s 3ms grey-to-grey response time makes movement crisp, which can help with things like target tracking in fast first person shooters.

The Strix G15’s versatility is rounded out with ultrafast Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) networking for lower latency and less lag on compatible networks, up to two NVMe PCIe® 3.0 SSDs running in RAID 0 for warp speed load times, and a third upgradable SSD slot that makes adding terabytes to your machine a breeze. Strix gaming laptops all feature an easy-upgrade design that hugely simplifies memory and storage modifications.

The ROG Strix Go 2.4 Electro Punk gaming headset

The ROG Strix Go 2.4 Electro Punk is an USB-C 2.4 GHz wireless headset, enabling ultra-stable cordless connections for multi-platform on-the-go gaming, lag-free audio on PC, PlayStation, Xbox or smart devices, and roaming anywhere with a Nintendo Switch in handheld mode.

The lightweight Strix Go 2.4 charges fast, has a long-lasting battery for nonstop gaming sessions, and comes with a USB-C to USB 2.0 adapter plus a 3.5 mm connector, making it easy to connect to tons of different devices. Piping hot pink details in and around the headband, ear pads, and ROG logo give it that special touch, while the rest stays bold black to prevent stains.

The Go 2.4 stands out for its exceptional sound quality, too. It features signal diversion technology for a wide soundstage, and full, immersive game audio. A detachable boom mic powered by industry-leading AI-powered noise-cancellation lets you chat and game with clearer sound anywhere, while built-in buttons let you dial your volume up freely, or turn your mic on or off on the fly.

Meanwhile, the combination with the Strix G15 looks so striking that we built an entire bundle around the laptop paired with a wired version of the headset, the ROG Strix Go Core Electro Punk. Its airtight chambers and 40-mm ASUS Essence drivers deliver rich, immersive sound. And its ample cross-platform support for PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices brings Electro Punk style—and sound—to all of your gaming devices.

The ROG Strix Scope TKL Electro Punk gaming keyboard

Eye-catching keys accent the edges of this special edition ROG Strix Scope TKL keyboard. Its extensive Aura Sync integration radiates under every key, through the ROG logo, and even casts an arresting RGB underglow from below. Let it stay rosy like the rest of your Electro Punk kit, or customize it to your heart’s content.

This mechanical keyboard was created specifically for fast-paced multiplayer, forgoing a full number pad to give you more room on your desk for rapid mouse movements. It also has an enlarged left CTRL key that’s easier to find in the FPS frenzy. Decked out with Cherry MX switches, you can punch complex commands with confidence. With its durable, aluminum-topped construction and compact size, this keyboard is easy to fit into backpacks for travel to LANs, tournaments, and other esports events.

The ROG Strix Impact II Electro Punk gaming mouse

Programmable buttons above the thumb rest pop against the body of the ROG Strix Impact II gaming mouse. With Aura Sync-enabled RGB lighting integrated into the logo, scroll wheel, and front, this stunner shines from top to tail.

A new look doesn’t change the ROG Strix Impact II’s enduring appeal. Designed with pro gamers in mind, it delivers smooth action for serious play and ergonomics optimized for comfort. Its lightweight, 79g frame features a pivoted button mechanism for precision speed and a tactile feel. Even the mouse’s soft-rubber coated cord minimizes snags and drag.

Personalizing the Impact II’s performance is simple. The 6,200 dpi optical sensor ensures pinpoint accuracy and superior responsiveness, while an on-the-fly DPI button lets you flip quickly between four sensitivity settings. Integrated Aura RGB lighting uses intuitive shades to indicate sensitivity levels from lowest (red) to highest (green). An exclusive push-fit switch socket design lets you change your click resistance and extend your mouse’s lifespan. Make your mouse your own by tailoring five programmable buttons to suit your play style.

The ROG Sheath Electro Punk gaming mouse pad

Every one of our Electro Punk edition laptops comes bundled with a special ROG Sheath desk mat that dials up pinpoint precision for your mouse. At a whopping 35" across and 17" deep, the pad provides unrivaled comfort and cushion for your ROG peripherals.

Tightly woven fabric tops a non-slip back that doesn’t budge as you play. Reinforced stitches along its bright edge limit fraying, while predominantly black fabric across the right-hand side helps minimize scuff marks in the most-trafficked areas.
