ASUS puts 24K gold on its 20th anniversary edition ROG keyboard and mouse

With ASUS's Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand celebrating 20 years at Computex 2026, the company has unveiled a suite of new and special-edition hardware that all feature a stylish, premium black-and-gold aesthetic. From cases to motherboards, graphics cards, and peripherals, two highlights from the latter are the new ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20 mechanical keyboard and ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 gaming mouse.

The ROG Azoth Extreme is still one of the most impressive gaming keyboard releases in recent years, with our review highlighting its gasket-mount design, OLED display, and deep customization. The 20th anniversary edition model maintains the 75% form factor with a new look, updating the hot-swappable ROG NX switches to a transparent design that retains the same impressive type-feel.

The underlying hardware remains unchanged from a material perspective, and you've still got tri-mode connectivity and impressively fast 8K polling, but the multiple layers of damping and other elements also include 20th-anniversary-edition flourishes. Even the premium carbon fiber positioning plate has been updated to include the anniversary gold style. In fact, there's even some real gold, with the magnetic nameplate on the underside now 24K gold-plated to commemorate the celebration.

And for keyboard fans, ASUS is also releasing a special ROG Keycap Mystery Box Edition 20, which includes one of several new ROG-inspired collectible keycaps.

The transparent elements of this new ROG Azoth Extreme can be found throughout the entire anniversary collection, but they probably look most impressive on the ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 gaming mouse. Here, the entire shell is made of a translucent black material and includes 24K gold-plated accents. The mouse retains the symmetrical shape and lightweight build of the original, while also being powered by the impressive ROG AimPoint Pro 65K Sensor, which, yes, supports 65,000 DPI sensitivity alongside 8,000 Hz or 8K polling.

And in a very cool move, ASUS's Gear Link customization software for its 20th-anniversary-edition peripherals also comes with a special anniversary theme to highlight the gear's special-edition status.
