G1000 desktop features holographic AniMe Holo system
The G1000 introduces AniMe Holo, which projects customizable holograms inside the case via a dedicated fan chamber. The isolated setup keeps visuals from interfering with component cooling. Specs reach RTX 5090 or AMD Radeon 9070XT GPUs, 128GB DDR5 RAM, and 4TB PCIe 4.0 storage. The ROG Thermal Atrium routes air through a 420mm AIO cooler for dedicated CPU cooling.

The Crosshair X870E Glacial flagship won a CES 2026 Innovation Award. It packs 24+2+2 power stages and seven M.2 slots. AI Cache Boost and AI Overclocking handle performance tuning automatically. Connectivity includes dual USB4 ports, twelve USB 10Gbps ports, and dual 10G Ethernet. A 5-inch color LCD shows system stats on the board itself.
OLED monitors add RGB stripe pixel technology
Two Swift OLED displays use RGB stripe pixels for better color accuracy. The 27-inch PG27UCWM features Tandem RGB OLED with 27% greater color volume, toggling between 4K at 240Hz or FHD at 480Hz. The 34-inch PG34WCDN curves at 1800R with a 360Hz QD-OLED panel. ROG BlackShield film boosts scratch resistance 2.5x and deepens blacks by 40%. Both support DisplayPort 2.1a with full 80Gbps bandwidth.
ROG XREAL R1 glasses come with 240Hz micro-OLED screens
Built with XREAL, the R1 glasses pack 240Hz micro-OLED displays with 3ms latency. They project a virtual 171-inch screen at 4 meters with a 57-degree field of view. Electrochromic lenses auto-adjust tint based on lighting. Bose spatial audio creates a 3D soundstage. The ROG Control Dock handles connections to PC, console, and ROG Ally with zero setup.
Audio gear and peripherals round out ROG’s CES 2026 lineup
The ROG Kithara headset uses 100mm HIFIMAN planar magnetic drivers covering 8Hz to 55kHz. Its open-back design improves positional audio for competitive gaming. Cetra Open Wireless earbuds use an open-ear design for environmental awareness. They support Bluetooth and 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless with low latency.The Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard has magnetic switches with 0.1-3.5mm adjustable actuation and 8000Hz polling rate.
