ASUS Announces New TUF Gaming Products

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 4, 2018 - The PC gaming renaissance is bringing a new generation of recruits into the ranks. They're joining a community that's increasingly diverse and frequently unfamiliar with the intricacies of building a complete rig. TUF Gaming aims to make the process more approachable by smoothing out the wrinkles in the DIY experience. Designed for gamers seeking stability and performance at an affordable price, it focuses on delivering durable gear that can survive the rigors of punishing play now and still deliver reliability in the future. TUF Gaming takes battle-hardened aesthetics in a forward direction. Although it started with motherboards, the family is expanding to peripherals and other components that embrace the same style, making it easier than ever to assemble a cohesive gaming setup. All-new additions include the TUF Gaming M5 mouse, K5 keyboard, H5 headset, and GT501 chassis developed by our own internal teams, plus an array of components produced by TUF Gaming Alliance partners. Complete systems like the TUF Gaming FX10CP desktop and FX504 laptop are also beginning to spread TUF Gaming values to machines that get users in the game right out of the box.

ASUS is featuring its full lineup of TUF Gaming products during Computex 2018 in Taipei, Taiwan at the ASUS booth, #M410 in Nangang Hall, from June 5-9. For a full rundown of the new TUF Gaming products and TUF Gaming Alliance updates, please visit ASUS EdgeUp.

Mice it your way with the TUF Gaming M5

Mice are particularly prone to physical wear and tear, so the TUF Gaming M5 is coated in durable paint that stands up to heavy use. The Omron switches under the left and right buttons are ready for the long haul, too. They're rated to survive 50 million clicks, assuring reliably responsive input for years of regular gaming in even click-centric MOBAs. And all the buttons are programmable with functions or macros using our Armoury II software, which saves settings for up to three profiles directly on the mouse's internal memory to make them available on any machine.

Pixart's PAW3327 optical sensor monitors motion at resolutions up to 6200 DPI, which is more than enough sensitivity for the vast majority of gamers and even esports pros. ASUS Aura Sync adds configurable accent lighting that's easy to match with the rest of the rig, ticking the final box on a list of essential features.

Splishing and splashing with the TUF Gaming K5 keyboard

Keyboards also suffer a lot of hands-on abuse, including accidental spills from inadvertent bumps at crowded LAN parties, or during hard-fought victory celebrations. But the TUF Gaming K5 isn't afraid of a little liquid; its splash-proof design can withstand up to 60ml, preventing small spills from ruining the night.

The key caps are also covered by three layers of paint — one more than typical keyboards — which helps them hold up to everyday use. Under each cap, Mech-Brane switches use a specially tuned membrane to mimic the feel of a mechanical design. Five-zone Aura Sync backlighting stretches across the keys, powering a personalized array of colors and effects that can be easily synchronized with the M5 mouse. As with the M5 mouse, Armoury II lets users record custom macros and save them to onboard storage.
