ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announces the new peripherals for the world, designed to maximise responsiveness and immersion, so you can tackle gameplay with greater accuracy, comfort, and precision. To achieve these goals, ASUS offers a range of new accessories from the ROG line that enable you to compete at your peak. In detail, these are the headphones ROG Delta S Core, the headphones ROG Fusion II 300, and the keyboard ROG Strix Flare II.
ROG Delta S Core: lightweight gaming headphones
The ROG Delta S Core weigh only 270 grams and feature the signature D-shaped ergonomic earcups from the well-known series. These fit perfectly to the shape of the ears, reducing up to 20% of unnecessary contact areas for a more comfortable fit and maximum comfort. With a discreet yet distinctive design, they are equipped with ASUS Essence 50 mm drivers and sealed chambers to produce rich, immersive sound, including virtual 7.1 surround supported by Windows Sonic.
The Delta S Core also provide clear in-game voice communications thanks to an excellent boom mic, removable and Discord and TeamSpeak certified. The 3.5mm jack makes them compatible with PC, Mac, mobile devices and consoles such as PlayStation®, Nintendo Switch™ and Xbox.
ROG Fusion II 300
ROG Fusion II 300 are definitive gaming headphones capable of delivering advanced virtual 7.1 surround sound and equipped with high-resolution ESS 9280 Quad DAC™ technology alongside ASUS AI Beamforming microphones with AI-assisted noise cancellation, to provide impeccable audio and vocal communication, always realistic and immersive.
The Quad DAC ESS 9280 is paired with the ASUS Essence 50 mm drivers, capable of delivering an evolved audio experience for gamers without data loss (lossless audio processing). Each of the four DACs allocates processing power to a specific subset of the audible frequency range — low, mid, high, and ultra-high — resulting in a crisp, clear sound for a truly surprising audio experience.
The ASUS AI Beamforming microphones with AI-assisted noise cancellation deliver a consistently clear and natural voice, eliminating background noise and interference with minimal distortion. The microphones create an acoustic zone of 40° directly aligned with the player’s mouth, filtering annoying ambient sounds from other directions for extremely precise and timely speech pickup. Additionally, the AI Noise Cancellation technology accurately identifies and reduces background noise by up to 95%, isolating it through recognition of over 500 million different noise types, including chatter, keyboard typing, and mouse clicks.
The new Fusion II 300 also feature the customisable Aura RGB lighting with over 16.8 million colour combinations and six pre-set lighting effects, all selectable via the Armory Crate software. The software allows access to extensive controls and an intuitive interface for freely adjusting lighting and audio profiles.
The Fusion II 300 offer connectivity USB-C®® and USB Type A to be compatible with any type of device, including notebooks, desktops PC, smartphones and mobile devices, but also next-gen gaming consoles.
ROG Strix Flare II
ROG Strix Flare II is the second-generation gaming keyboard from the Strix Flare series, designed with innovative features to enhance gameplay and deliver an unmatched user experience.
It features a high-speed USB micro-controller that offers a polling rate of 8000 Hz, updating input up to eight times faster than most advanced gaming keyboards on the market, reducing response time from 1 ms to just 0.125 ms. It is equipped with ROG NX RED proprietary mechanical switches for incredibly fast, instantaneous, and precise actuation. In the Italian layout, the keycaps are made of ABS, and each key is fitted with medium-height keycaps featuring a shorter stem to reduce oscillation and ensure a more comfortable typing experience. A special ROG switch stabiliser, specifically optimised, reduces friction between keys to provide a smoother and more stable feel—even for longer keys such as the space bar, Shift, or Enter. This also ensures that longer keys maintain a consistently accurate and faithful tactile feedback.
Furthermore, the integrated foam sound-absorbing material inside the chassis absorbs pinning noises and echoes, ensuring better acoustics, while the USB 2.0 passthrough port is ideal for connecting a mouse, an external drive, or charging your mobile devices.
The ROG Strix Flare II also features practical metallic multimedia controls in the top-left corner, arranged for easy access and programmable as quick-access keys for enhanced personalisation. Scrolling through the volume wheel allows you to adjust the audio level or completely mute it, while the adjacent selector lets you skip tracks, reverse them, pause or resume playback, offering full control and maximum convenience for a richer gaming and entertainment experience.
