What to give a gamer for the New Year - choosing premium gifts for loved ones together with ASUS
Everyone has that one person in their life for whom it’s hard to choose a gift, and who seems to already have everything possible in terms of gadgets. That’s why we’ve collected several top products from Republic of Gamers that even the most tech-savvy person will appreciate. And the advanced technologies used in them will make such a gift desirable for every avid gamer.
Great Sound on Any Platform: ROG Delta II Wireless Headset
Here's a gift any gamer can appreciate, no matter where or how they play. The ROG Delta II gaming headset delivers clear audio and premium comfort on any device, while remaining luxuriously comfortable for long gaming sessions.
ROG Delta II features 50mm titanium-coated diaphragm drivers and a 10mm wide-bandwidth microphone on a gooseneck for incredible audio quality, plus a variety of connectivity options. With its tri-mode connectivity, this headset can connect to devices via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless with USB-C, or a standard 3.5mm audio cable.
And thanks to the company’s DualFlow Audio technology, it can connect to two devices at the same time. This is useful in many situations. For example, Nintendo Switch players can run Discord on their phone to chat with friends, play a game on their Switch, and listen to both audio streams through a single headset. With its connectivity options, ROG Delta II is the perfect headset for all devices, whether you’re buying it for a PC gamer, console player, or mobile enthusiast.
Be Heard: ROG Carnyx Gaming Microphone
Most gamers also like to stream their gameplay, and in this case, you can’t do without a special microphone. The professional-grade cardioid USB microphone ROG Carnyx will not only look perfect on camera, but also provide accurate voice transmission thanks to a studio-grade 25mm condenser capsule and a sampling rate of 192 kHz / 24 bits.
With a high-pass filter that reduces low-frequency noise, a built-in pop filter to prevent distortion when pronouncing breakthrough consonants, and a metal suspension to minimize external vibrations, Carnyx guarantees impeccably clean recordings. In addition to studio-quality recording, Carnyx offers convenient controls: an intuitive power button and a multi-function control knob.
Compact and Successful Solution: ROG Harpe Ace Mini
Inheriting the proven, semi-symmetrical profile of the standard Harpe Ace, ROG Harpe Ace Mini delivers all the latest technology in a smaller, sleeker form factor. And with a lightweight design weighing just 49 grams and a smooth matte finish, you'll always be ahead of the game.
The premium features of the Harpe Ace Mini are trusted by the highest level of esports athletes. The ROG AimPoint Pro 42-dot optical sensor with Track-on-Glass technology provides maximum precision on virtually any surface.
Harpe Ace Mini features ROG Optical Micro Switches for lightning-fast response and a 100-million-click durability. ROG SpeedNova wireless technology provides ultra-low-latency 2,4GHz RF connectivity and up to 105 hours of battery life for marathon gaming. Harpe Ace Mini works with the ROG Omni Receiver, which lets you connect the mouse and compatible keyboard to your PC or laptop via a single USB port.
The ROG Harpe Ace Mini can be perfectly complemented by the ROG Moonstone Ace gaming surface. A nice bonus is the fact that both devices are available in both black and white colors, so you can definitely put together a harmonious, stylish gift set.
Best Compact Gaming Keyboard: ROG Falchion Ace HFX
Keyboards with mechanical switches have long dominated gamers' desks. The tech-savvy person you're shopping for probably already has one right now — and maybe a small stash of alternatives just for variety.
But a new switch technology has recently hit the market. ROG HFX Magnetic Switches, available on the new ROG Falchion Ace HFX, open up exciting new possibilities for keyboard enthusiasts. With a few clicks of the integrated multi-function button, users can change the actuation point on the fly. In one keyboard, they get lightning-fast control in games and impeccable accuracy when typing. But that's not all. This keyboard features a Rapid Trigger switch that allows users to activate a mode that delivers the fastest keystroke response and repeat rate, delivering incredible levels of precision.
These features make the ROG HFX Magnetic Switches especially interesting for anyone who plays Call of Duty, Valorant, Overwatch or other eSports games on PC. That is why the first to receive these switches were the Falchion family keyboard, which takes up minimal space thanks to its compact 65% form factor. This compact design leaves plenty of room for wide mouse movements, which eSports players love so much.
Despite its compact size, ROG Falchion Ace HFX packs a premium set of features, including an 8000Hz polling rate for ultra-fast performance and a touchpad for controlling keyboard settings with a simple tap. It also provides maximum typing comfort by combating vibration and noise with a five-layer absorption design.
The ROG Falchion Ace HFX gaming keyboard just went on sale. Even the most demanding gamer on your shopping list probably doesn’t have a keyboard this awesome — yet. You have a small window of time to gift them an incredible keyboard upgrade before they do it themselves. Don’t miss out.
The Perfect Gaming Gift for Mobile Gamers: ROG Tessen
Filled with heavy hits like Call of Duty: Warzone, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto, Vampire Survivors, and Rocket League Sideswipe, the Google Play Store offers an endless array of games for Android smartphones. But for gamers who grew up on consoles, their phones' touchscreen interfaces aren't as convenient for gaming as the physical joysticks and buttons they're used to.
This holiday season, you can change that with the ROG Tessen. This foldable mobile controller easily attaches to any Android smartphone on the market — even those protected by a bulky protective case — and lets you play mobile games with console-level precision and comfort. It’s compatible with a wide range of Android devices and supports a variety of games.
If you're looking for a gift for a gamer who loves their Android smartphone but would like to use it as a mobile gaming console, the ROG Tessen could be the perfect gift.
ROG Raikiri Gamepad: Complete Control
For those looking for a comfortable and functional gamepad, look no further than ROG Raikiri. With flexible customization options like stick sensitivity, trigger response curve, and dead zones, ROG Raikiri is ideal for top-tier PC and next-generation Xbox games.
For a more immersive gaming experience, ROG Raikiri features a built-in ESS DAC that unleashes the full potential of a connected gaming headset.
A small update for a big change: ROG Polling Rate Booster
Most modern gaming mice and keyboards support polling rates from 1000Hz to 8000Hz and higher. For most gamers, 1000-2000Hz is enough. However, if you are looking for maximum precision, speed, and an unmatched gaming experience, you may want to consider models with a higher rate. Or upgrade your existing devices with one small accessory – the ROG Polling Rate Booster. This ROG-exclusive accessory delivers a true polling rate of up to 8000Hz, helping gamers achieve a new level of in-game control and minimize latency on compatible mice and keyboards.
ROG Polling Rate Booster works in both wireless and wired modes, further improving wireless connection quality, especially when paired with ROG SpeedNova technology, which minimizes signal latency.
The Ultimate Monitor Versatility: ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP
Today's OLED gaming monitors offer stunning visuals that are far superior to previous generations of technology. If you're looking for a gift for a gamer who hasn't upgraded their display in a while, consider the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP, the world's first 1440p OLED monitor with a 480Hz refresh rate.
This 27" QHD monitor is designed for esports and modern AAA games. It offers incredibly smooth visuals thanks to a 480Hz refresh rate and 0,03ms response time. The OLED panel provides 99% DCI-P3 coverage, ensuring superb image clarity and vivid colors.
Additionally, the new ROG AI Assistant enhances the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP gaming experience. OLED Care+ software is used to increase the monitor’s longevity, and a custom-designed heatsink provides exceptional passive cooling to reduce the risk of burn-in.
Cutting-edge Wi-Fi for networking enthusiasts: ROG Rapture GT-BE98
If your loved one doesn’t have a ROG router with Wi-Fi 7, they’re missing out. Whether you’re buying a gift for a hardcore gamer, a professional working from home, or someone who loves to stream movies in high definition, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is a premium router that will elevate their network to the gold standard of wireless technology.
With Wi-Fi 7, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 increases network capacity and throughput, delivering speeds of up to 25Gbps. This means the router can handle network congestion, delivering fast internet even in crowded homes where everyone is online. It also features dual-gain antennas to increase coverage, so even if there are multiple walls between your device and the router, the signal remains strong.
The router also offers multiple high-bandwidth Ethernet ports for any need, including a dedicated gaming port. This is especially useful for eSports enthusiasts who require prioritizing network traffic for their gaming devices over all others.
Additionally, this router supports AiMesh technology, allowing you to use the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 with other ASUS routers. This allows you to create an ultra-reliable home network where older equipment can still do its job.
A Reliable Companion: ASUS TUF Gaming A2 External SSD Case
A small but powerful gift can be a great solution for a gamer who loads large games onto an SSD to connect to a console. An external case that effectively dissipates heat and is ready for long-term use will be a thoughtful gift. The ASUS TUF Gaming A2 is exactly what you need.
This case meets stringent US MIL-STD-810H standards and is IP68 water and dust resistant.
