TAIPEI, Taiwan — January 26, 2026 — The intersection of elite esports and cutting-edge hardware just got sharper. ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has signed a global partnership with DRX, one of the most decorated organizations in competitive gaming, to become its official hardware provider for the next two years. This alliance extends beyond sponsorship, embedding ROG’s esports-optimized peripherals into every facet of DRX’s operations—from training to content creation—and inviting players to shape the future of professional gaming gear.
The Partnership’s Core: Hardware for Champions
DRX’s rosters—including its high-profile VALORANT and League of Legends teams—will now rely on ROG’s Ace Esports Collection, a lineup engineered for the demands of championship-level play. At the forefront are the ROG Harpe II Ace mouse and the newly released ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard, both designed with input lag reduction, precision engineering, and durability to withstand the rigors of 100+ hour practice sessions. These peripherals aren’t just tools; they’re extensions of a player’s skill, and DRX’s athletes will use them daily in both competition and content production.
A Two-Way Street: Players as Co-Creators
Unlike traditional sponsorships, this partnership is a feedback loop. DRX players will participate in early testing of upcoming ROG esports products, offering insights that directly influence development. This mirrors ROG’s long-standing practice of co-creating hardware with professionals—an approach that has led to gear trusted by world champions, from League of Legends Worlds victors to VALORANT Champions finalists. The collaboration also opens doors for fans, with exclusive behind-the-scenes content, global activations, and a closer look at how DRX’s top players configure their setups for peak performance.
Why This Matters
DRX’s legacy speaks for itself: a League of Legends Worlds title in 2022 and podium finishes in VALORANT’s 2022 and 2025 Champions tournaments. Aligning with ROG amplifies that legacy by ensuring players have hardware that matches their relentless standards. For ROG, the partnership provides unparalleled access to elite athletes across multiple titles, refining products with data-driven precision.
Key milestones of the collaboration
- Hardware integration: All DRX rosters, including VALORANT and League of Legends, will use ROG Ace Esports peripherals in training, competition, and content creation.
- Player-driven development: DRX athletes will test and provide feedback on future ROG esports products, influencing design and performance.
- Fan engagement: Exclusive content, global activations, and insights into DRX’s pro setups will be shared across official ROG and DRX channels.
- Two-year commitment: The partnership runs through 2028, with potential for renewal based on performance and innovation.
Beyond the Gear: A Shared Philosophy
Both organizations share a DNA of pushing boundaries. ROG’s reputation for innovation—backed by hundreds of overclocking records and a history of sponsoring major esports events—aligns seamlessly with DRX’s culture of challenge and excellence. The partnership isn’t just about equipment; it’s about merging ROG’s engineering prowess with DRX’s competitive edge to redefine what’s possible in esports.
The first tangible results are already in motion. DRX’s content pipelines will soon feature ROG gear in action, while fans can expect a wave of activations highlighting the synergy between hardware and performance. This is more than a sponsorship—it’s a blueprint for how esports and technology can evolve together.
The Road Ahead
Over the next two years, the partnership will expand beyond hardware. ROG and DRX will co-develop initiatives that bridge the gap between professional play and fan culture, from educational content on esports setups to interactive experiences that let audiences test ROG’s pro-grade peripherals. The goal? To create a ecosystem where every click, every keystroke, and every competitive moment is elevated by technology built for the next generation of champions.
For ROG, this is another step in its mission to dominate the esports hardware market—not just by selling products, but by co-creating them with the players who demand the most. And for DRX, it’s a vote of confidence in gear that can keep pace with their ambition.
