Asus ROG is selling a 24‑karat gold‑finished keyboard for $600 as part of its 20th‑anniversary push.
The keyboard, dubbed the Azoth Extreme Edition 20, features a gold‑coated chassis and standard ROG mechanical switches. It ships alongside a Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 mouse that retails for $260, both shown at Computex 2026. The items are limited‑run, aimed at collectors rather than mainstream gamers.
The price signals that ROG is leveraging nostalgia and prestige to boost margins on high‑end accessories. It also tests the appetite for luxury hardware in a market that largely values performance over flash. If the gold keyboard sells out quickly, it could encourage more premium, non‑essential accessories from other gaming brands.
In an industry saturated with marginal performance gains, a $600 gold keyboard feels more like a status symbol than a functional upgrade.
