CES 2026: ASUS Republic of Gamers Celebrates It’s 20th Anniversary
Bet You Didn’t Expect ROG To Partner with Kojima Productions
The ASUS Republic of Gamers have now been with us for two decades and they’re celebrating by releasing a wide variety of peripherals at CES 2026. The partnership with Kojima Productions includes the ROG Delta II-KJP headset, ROG Keris II Origin-KJP mouse and ROG Scabbard II XXL-KJP mouse pad. The details of these products aren’t available at the moment as the provided links are dead but we do know the headset has 50mm titanium-plated drivers and a 10mm super-wideband microphone, the mouse uses a 42,000dpi ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor and the mouse pad, as well as the previous two peripherals feature a hand-drawn Ludens art by Yoji Shinkawa.
There are also non-Kojima peripherals from the ASUS Republican of Gamers, such as the ROG Kithara which is aflagship planar-magnetic gaming headset designed in partnership with HIFIMAN. The 100mm HIFIMAN planar magnetic drivers offer a 8Hz–55kHz frequency range and a full-band MEMS boom microphone. They do have an open back design which some may not prefer but you can’t fault the connectivity which includes a a 3-in-1 cable with 4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm, and 6.3mm single-ended plugs as well as a USB-C adapter for mobile devices.
If you prefer in-ear to earcups, then the ROG Cetra Open Wireless Earbuds might interest you, though as the name implies they don’t block you from hearing environmental noises. They do still offer IPX5 water resistance so you don’t have to worry about the environment effecting them. The earbuds can connect via Bluetooth or an ultra-low-latency 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova dongle. It uses 14.2mm Diamond-Like Carbon-coated drivers, and you can switch between Phantom Bass and Immersion modes.

Last up is the ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE Magnetic gaming keyboard which features an 8000 Hz polling rate for very quick response times. The keyboard is a s 75% layout and the ROG HFX V2/ V2X magnetic switches it uses are hot-swappable. We’ve seen magnetic switches from the Republic of Gamers before, but this model uses the new ROG Hall Sensors and even lets you program the actuation point in 0.01 mm increments between 0.1 to 3.5 mm.
