This is a sponsored article in collaboration with ASUS.

ASUS have long been a major player in the peripherals space, nearly 20 years in fact, and aptly since the inception of the ROG (Republic Of Gamers) arm back in 2006. But just how well do ASUS peripherals stack up in today’s market? The answer… is pretty good! ASUS have some stellar options available on the market right now and when paired together with similar products from the ASUS ecosystem, offer a strong and particularly refined experience. ROG in particular have long been known to have a peripheral product stack that sits at the pinnacle of gaming performance. A line-up that regularly features and is pushed to the limits by gaming royalty at countless E-sports events over the years.

That’s why, in this article we’ll be covering all of the Best ASUS Gaming Gear combos. Picking out our favourite combos for each price point and seeing whether E-sports tailored products are suitable for the average Joe and vice versa. Ready? Game on!

Every Day Gamer

Our first combo and more budget-friendly selections take full advantage of the ASUS TUF range of products. The TUF product range typically features a gunmetal grey, industrialised theme and our peripheral choices today follow a similar ethos.

Starting with the TUF K3 II, this boasts a 97-key layout design including both a numpad and dedicated arrow keys, 100% anti-ghosting with N-key rollover and up to 8 fully programmable keys for macros. Aesthetically, the K3 II features a number of welcome design choices too. From per-key RGB lighting to silicone-gasket and dampening foam for improved acoustics, the TUF K3 II acts a clear step above its predecessor. The K3 II even features a removable top plate, allowing for easier cleaning and improved customisability. The TUF K3 II is a great option for those looking for an everyday keyboard, thanks largely in nature due to its incredible versatility.

The TUF H3 headset and M4 Air mouse round out our combo here. The M4 Air in particular is another standout product in the TUF product range. Featuring an ultralight design at just 47 grams largely thanks to its ‘Air Shell’ design, hence the name, the TUF M4 Air not only performs well but looks the part too. With a total of 6 programmable buttons and a maximum DPI of 16,000, the M4 Air, much like the TUF K3 II is another incredibly versatile option.

The TUF H3 Wireless headset is the final piece to complete this combo. Stylistically featuring a more stripped-back approach than that of its wired counterpart, the TUF H3 Wireless focuses on a sleek and modern design whilst still sporting the usual TUF branding, albeit with some added subtlety. With Virtual 7.1 surround sound, up to 15 hours of battery life and compatibility across PC, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch, the H3 Wireless rounds out this combo in great fashion.

Entry Level ROG

The Entry Level ROG combo bridges the gap between the TUF and ROG ranges brilliantly. Our picks here, in theory should allow for users to experience the more-premium feature set on offer with the ROG range but without the typical associated cost.

To kick things off, the SCOPE II RX. The SCOPE range of keyboards have long been an office favourite at GeekaWhat and the SCOPE II RX is no different. Boasting a full 100% layout, per-key RGB, with 100% N-key rollover, in addition to offering some great customisability options in the form of a wrist rest and signature ROG-themed spacebar keycap, the SCOPE II RX does a great job of teasing what’s to come in the full-on ROG range.

Pair the SCOPE II RX with our mouse choice for this combo, the ROG Keris II Origin, and prepare to seriously level up your setup. Not only does the Keris II weigh just 65 grams without featuring any perforations, the shape has also been specifically tested by Pro’s to allow greater compatibility with most grip styles. Available in either black or white colourways and offering 3 ways to connect, 2.4GHz, Bluetooth or wired USB the Keris II slots into any setup seamlessly, no matter your preference.

The ROG Delta core completes our Entry-level ROG combo. Compatible across PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, S & X and even the Nintendo Switch, the Delta Core headset again makes slotting itself into your setup seamless. The frequency range isn’t bad either, sitting between 20~40000Hz with a detachable microphone frequency response of 100~10000Hz too. Whilst true 7.1 surround sound isn’t available on this particular model, you can at least achieve virtual 7.1 via Windows Sonic.

Aspiring E-Sports Player

The ROG Falchion ACE HFX kicks off our, true ROG level combo. With a 65% layout, pre-lubed ROG HFX Magnetic Switches featuring not only Rapid Trigger toggle but Speed Tap Mode too, the Falchion ACE HFX is geared towards gamers with a love for competitive gameplay. Honing in on the keys of the Falchion ACE HFX and they’re designed with one thing in mind. Speed. Thanks to the Speed Tap Mode, the Falchion ACE HFX is able to achieve instantaneous directional changes in-game by prioritising the latest input without the need to release the previous key, couple that with the 8000Hz polling rate with a 0.125ms response time and ability to set the actuation point of each key, this keyboard is FAST.

The ROG Harpe ACE mini follows a similar theme. With a 42,000 DPI AimPoint Pro Optical Sensor coupled with SpeedNova wireless technology, both of which help to sharpen precision whilst minimising input delays, the Harpe Ace Mini is a stellar option for those looking to stay competitive. This comes without even mentioning its ultralight weight 49 gram design!

The ROG Pelta closes out this combo and acts as a true ROG headset and a clear step-up over that in our last combo. With battery life capability of up to 70 hours in 2.4GHz mode and just 15 minutes of charge enabling you to game for another 3 hours, the ROG Pelta offers everything you need to stay in the fight. Tri-mode connectivity, titanium-plated drivers and lightweight 309 gram design are just a handful of the features on offer.

All-Out ROG Enthusiast

The crème de la crème of the ROG line-up, so to speak. Starting with the ROG Azoth X Gaming Keyboard, a keyboard that truly sits at the pinnacle of the ROG line-up. Hosting a seemingly never-ending set of specs, the Azoth X covers all bases, not only covering them all, however, but covering them all well. The Azoth X takes things to that next level, every design choice truly thought out. Be that the semi-translucent keycaps helping to offset the new paintjob and allowing for effective RGB lighting coverage or the South-facing PCB, optimised for keycap compatibility and customisation or the hot-swappable keycap design itself. The Azoth X is a keyboard enthusiast’s dream and even throws in an OLED display detailing system info for good measure.

The ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition, takes the aforementioned ROG Harpe Ace and elevates it further. Co-developed with E-sports pro’s and designed in synergy with a focus on aim precision thanks to its Aim Labs Settings optimiser, tailoring mouse settings to each player uniquely. Again, offering Tri-mode connectivity, this time capable of connecting to multiple devices wirelessly with a single receiver. Further yet, the Harpe Ace Aim Labs Edition has officially been verified for use in conjunction with NVIDIA Reflex, ensuring latency stays minuscule and inputs remain responsive.

The ROG Delta II completes the enthusiast combo and for good reason. Capable of DualFlow Audio, channelling simultaneous audio playback from two connected devices with up to 110 hours of audio playback on a single charge, the ROG Delta II offers a truly premium experience. Lightweight in design at 318 grams, with two options for ear cushions available, titanium-plated drivers, high resolution 24-bit 96kHz audio and ultra-low latency audio playback, the ROG Delta II rightly sits atop of the ROG line-up.

2 Keyboards in 1?

We couldn’t put together a Buyer’s Guide for the Best ASUS Gaming Gear products without mentioning one product in particular. The ASUS ROG Falcata Gaming Keyboard.

This 75% split gaming keyboard actually transforms into two separate pieces allowing for ultimate user control and customisability over your setup. Designed to allow the uber-competitive to free up crucial desk space for their mousing hand, the ROG Falcata enables users to use the left keyboard module freely without the need for the right. The ROG Falcata even goes as far as to feature a split spacebar key, ensuring that gamers have access to all of the essential key bindings when operating solely with the left module.

The remainder of the specs aren’t anything to scoff at either. Hot swappable switches with customisable actuation on a per key basis, with Rapid Trigger toggle and four layers of sound dampening, the Falcata truly takes the user experience to the next level. Even going as far to split the included silicone wrist rest. Expect to see the ROG Falcata on the desk of E-sports pros alike in the near future.
