Meanwhile, ROG and NVIDIA have introduced G-SYNC Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) 2 to the ROG Swift 360 Hz PG27AQN with a firmware update. With its over 1000 Hz of effective motion clarity, ULMB 2 offers the best motion blur reduction for competitive gamers available today. To do this, ULMB 2 ensures that each pixel shows the right color at the right time to help get rid of the blurry look gamers sometimes face when objects are moving fast on their screen. ULMB 2 turns the screen’s backlight on and off at a high frequency to handle these scenarios. Furthermore, in instances where the backlight turns on when pixels are still changing colors, this sometimes doubles images and creates unwanted visuals in other monitors. To avoid this, ULMB 2 uses a special technique called Vertical Dependent Overdriveto ensure that the backlight only turns on when all the pixels are showing the right color. This results in clearer pictures and visuals even when scenes and objects are moving fast. It also delivers full refresh rate backlight strobing, nearly 2X-higher brightness than the original ULMB, and zero crosstalk/double images. ROG Swift 360 Hz PG27AQN users can enjoy ULMB 2 now by installing the new firmware.

Another standout product at Computex 2023 will be the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless, ROG's first 96% wireless gaming keyboard, with hot-swappable switches, featuring the all-new ROG NX Snow mechanical switches, unique dampening foam with integrated switch-dampening pads, tri-mode connection with ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, and ROG Omni Receiver. ROG Omni Receiver allows users to connect their compatible mouse and keyboard via a single dongle receiver – without compromising performance.

ASUS will also showcase other new products for the ROG Ace esports collection, a peripheral lineup dedicated to delivering the best performance for esports gaming. A Moonlight White version of the ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition is added to the midst, and now also supports the ROG Omni Receiver. Additionally, ROG introduced two new mouse pads to the line up-the ROG Moonstone Ace L, a large sized mouse pad featuring a tempered glass surface for ultra-fast glides, and the ROG Hone Ace XXL, which is an extended, table-sized version of the ROG Hone Ace Aim Lab Edition launched earlier this year, with an extra-soft, anti-slip polyurethane base.

Gamers will also be excited to hear about the latest ROG WiFi 7 router, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 — the world’s first quad-band WiFi 7 gaming router, awarded during the Computex 2023 Best Choice Awards ceremony — with lightning-fast speeds and low latency for seamless online gaming experiences. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 enjoys the benefits of WiFi 7 with 6 GHz band, featuring a new 320 MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO).

Alongside these devices, ROG will also showcase its motherboards, including the Computex 2023 Best Choice Award winner, the ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme, built for extreme performance and overclocking, as well as the ROG Strix Z790-A, which balances exceptional gaming performance with striking looks for style-conscious gamers.

With these new additions, ROG continues to set the standard for PC gaming hardware and accessories, promising the best possible gaming experience for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
