ASUS has announced the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM, a 26.5-inch 4K Tandem RGB OLED display capable of reaching 480Hz in Dual Mode, priced at €1,249.90. The company also revealed the ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20, a collector's keyboard with a 24-karat gold nameplate and 8,000Hz wireless polling that costs upwards of €629. On the value front, the MSI Maestro 500 Wireless offers tri-mode connectivity and ANC for $69.99, while Endorfy's Viro Wireless delivers 130-hour battery life and premium build materials for €86.90. The roundup also covers Pulsar's new X2N Crazylight sub-50g mouse and the Libernovo Omni Pro chair, which addresses comfort with an integrated seat ventilation fan.
ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20 and more: The tech review roundup for Today
Today's roundup spans a 480Hz 4K OLED monitor, a sub-$70 ANC headset, a premium chair with a built-in fan, and a keyboard that's essentially a collector's coin. ASUS dominates the hardware list with two major releases, though the pricing on the new Azoth keyboard is going to make even enthusiast buyers wince.
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM drops a serious spec sheet on the 27-inch OLED category. Priced at €1,249.90, this 26.5-inch display features a Tandem RGB OLED panel with a true RGB-stripe subpixel layout. No WOLED tricks here. You're getting a glossy finish and a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 at roughly 166 PPI, which means considerably finer detail than the usual 1440p OLED format.
It runs at 240Hz at native 4K. The real party trick is Dual Mode. Switch to 1920x1080 and you get 480Hz. Peak HDR brightness hits 1,000 cd/m², and ASUS claims a 27% boost in color volume over previous WOLED tech.
The Guru of 3D: ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM Review – 4K Tandem RGB OLED Meets 480Hz Gaming
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM introduces a new generation of 27-inch gaming displays with a 4K Tandem RGB OLED panel, a true RGB-stripe subpixel layout and a glossy optical finish.

Connectivity is thorough. DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 carries 4K at 240Hz without compression, a first for this form factor. You also get dual HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, USB-C with 90W PD, and an integrated KVM switch. The TrueBlack Glossy finish cuts ambient reflections by 38%. Not cheap. But if you need that 480Hz competitive edge without sacrificing desktop clarity, the PG27UCWM earns its price tag.
ASUS also shipped the ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20, a 75-percent wireless keyboard built for the ROG 20th anniversary. That comes with a 24-karat gold nameplate. The rest of the hardware is solid: aluminum case, carbon-fiber plate, and up to 8,000Hz wireless polling. IgorsLAB clocked the latency at 15.6ms average in wireless mode. Battery life sits at up to 1,600 hours with RGB and the OLED screen killed.
IgorsLAB: ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20 Review: High-End Keyboard
The ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20 impresses with premium construction and features, but its roughly €629 price is too high for a general recommendation.
The price of the Azoth has been one of the biggest talking points among keyboard enthusiasts since the original launched. The Extreme Edition 20 assesses at roughly €629, though some listings are pushing over €1,000. At that price, you're paying a heavy tax on the anniversary branding. The stabilizers are clip-stem and the case gap has minor irregularities, but let's be real: for €600-plus, you're in collector territory. It's a fine keyboard, but the value proposition evaporates the moment you factor in the markup. If you're a ROG devotee with cash to burn, it's a showpiece. Otherwise, the custom keyboard sector offers better bang for your buck.

The MSI MAESTRO 500 Wireless is trying to break the budget ceiling. At $69.99, it's tri-mode: 2.4GHz dongle, Bluetooth 5.4, and 3.5mm. TweakTown gave it an 82% rating, praising the sound quality and 90-hour battery life. You get ANC here, which is frankly rare under a hundred bucks. It weighs 280 grams and folds for portability. The main button is awkwardly placed, and the mic quality is just average, but at $55 on Amazon right now, it bridges the gap between a gaming headset and lifestyle cans without forcing you to dig into savings.

MSI's MAESTRO 500 Wireless is a gaming and ANC lifestyle headset that doesn't fall short in either category, and it's attractively priced.

Endorfy's Viro Wireless is the European answer to the budget wireless war. At €86.90, it packs 53mm drivers and 130-hour battery life on 2.4GHz wireless. Bluetooth stretches that to 240 hours. Club386 found premium materials—leather-wrapped headband, metal yokes where you'd expect plastic. The mic works well without tuning. The catch? The clamping force is aggressive. Glasses wearers, take cover. The earcups don't rotate either. It's a compelling choice for European gamers, though US shoppers will need to hunt for third-party sellers.

Solid audio quality, along with great battery life and a low price, make the Viro Wireless a compelling wireless gaming headset.

Libernovo dropped the Omni Pro, an ergonomic chair with a fan built into the seat. Tom's Hardware reviewed it and confirmed the ventilation actually works. If you run hot during long sessions, this is less of a novelty and more of a necessity. It addresses a genuine pain point: thermal discomfort during extended sitting. No price yet, but the concept is solid.

Finally, Pulsar debuts the X2N Crazylight. New shape. TechPowerUp ran it through the gauntlet and found a sub-50g mouse that means business. It comes in Medium (45g) and Mini (40g) variants. You're looking at a custom PixArt PAW3950 sensor, 8,000Hz wireless polling, and optical switches rated for 100 million clicks. The design pulls from the eS FS-1 and Susanto-X but stands on its own. At $129.95, it's competing for the competitive shooter crown. If the shape clicks with your grip, it's a serious contender in the ultra-lightweight segment.

Debuting a new shape from Pulsar, the ambidextrous X2N Crazylight weighs 45 g in its Medium variant and 40 g in its Mini variant. It comes with Pulsar's XS-1 sensor, Pulsar optical main button switches, and 8000 Hz wireless polling, and configuration is possible via application or web driver.
