Everyone has that one person in their life who’s impossible to shop for — the tech-obsessed loved one who seemingly already owns everything under the sun. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite luxury goods from ROG, gear that even the most well-equipped techie might not have and will most definitely want. Whether you’re shopping for a hardcore gamer, a professional who works from home, or a PC enthusiast who appreciates the perks of high-end hardware, these ROG picks make for perfect premium presents.
A lightweight mouse and aesthetic achievement: the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme
A mouse is a practical piece of equipment, but with the right materials it can be so much more. With the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme, you can put a piece of art on a loved one’s desk. Beyond being an ultra-lightweight 47g mouse that’s perfect for strain-free all-day use, the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme is also a visual marvel. Its top shell uses carbon fiber, meaning that every single mouse has a unique cut — akin to how no two marble slab slices are identical.
The ROG Harpe Ace Extreme is an ambidextrous mouse, so you’ll be safe gifting it even if you don’t know your recipient’s dominant hand. It’s versatile, visually striking, and with a max 8,000Hz polling rate and 42,000-dpi ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor, it’s also well-equipped to deliver the utmost in precision and accuracy.
If you’re not sure how much space your recipient has for new tech and want a compact, high-impact gift that’s basically guaranteed to be an upgrade from the mouse they’re currently using, the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme is a no-brainer.

The ultimate compact gaming keyboard: The ROG Falchion Ace HFX
Keyboards with mechanical switches have rightfully dominated the desks of gamers for years. The tech-obsessed loved one you’re shopping for likely has one right now — and maybe a small stash of alternatives, just for variety’s sake.
But there’s a new switch technology that’s just hit the market. ROG HFX Magnetic Switches, available in the new ROG Falchion Ace HFX, create stunning new possibilities for keyboard enthusiasts. With a couple taps on the built-in multi-function button, users can adjust the actuation point on the fly. In one keyboard, they’ll have lightning-fast control in gaming and unwavering precision in for typing. And that’s not all. This keyboard’s Rapid Trigger toggle lets users activate a mode that enables the fastest typing response and key repeat rate, giving them a stunning level of precision.
These features make ROG HFX Magnetic Switches especially intriguing for anyone on your holiday shopping list who plays Call of Duty, Valorant, Overwatch, or other esports games on PC. That’s why we debuted the switches in our Falchion series, a keyboard lineup that takes up minimal space with a tight 65% form factor. A deck this small leaves plenty of room for the sweeping mousing movements preferred by esports pros.
Despite its compact size, the ROG Falchion Ace HFX packs a premium feature set, including an 8000Hz polling rate that ensures ultra-responsive performance and a touch panel to control the keyboard’s settings through simple taps. Furthermore, it provides the ultimate cushioned typing experience, combating vibrations and pinging noises with five-layer dampening construction.
The ROG Falchion Ace HFX only launched recently. Even the most luxury-saddled gamer on your shopping list likely doesn’t have a typer this good — yet. You have a small window of time to give them a jaw-dropping keyboard upgrade before they pull the trigger and purchase one for themselves. Don’t miss your moment.

Cutting-edge WiFi for network enthusiasts: The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro
Not all routers are created equal. If your loved one doesn’t have a ROG model with WiFi 7, they’re missing out. Whether you’re shopping for a hardcore gamer, a work-from-home professional, or someone who streams like there’s no tomorrow, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is a high-end router that’ll elevate your recipient’s network to the gold standard in wireless technology.
With WiFi 7, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro increases network capacity and throughput while providing speeds of up to 30Gbps. This means the router will combat network congestion like a champ, ensuring crowded households can still enjoy speedy internet when everyone’s online. It also sports dual-feeding antennas to boost coverage so even when someone’s a few walls away from it, signal strength stays tops. And the router sports numerous high-bandwidth ports for any and all Ethernet needs, including a dedicated gaming port if there’s an esports aficionado on your holiday shopping list who needs their gaming device’s network traffic prioritized over everybody else’s.
Plus, this router packs AiMesh support, allowing your loved one to use the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro in conjunction with other ASUS routers (perhaps like the one the ROG Rapture will replace?) to form an ultra-strong whole-home network so that the old hardware still has purpose. Waste not, want not.
