ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced a comprehensive ROG x Evangelion collaboration centred around EVA-01, the flagship mecha of the manga and anime series known around the world. DIY PC builders will be able to assemble a high-end PC featuring EVA 01’s distinctive purple-and-green theme and a variety of artwork directly from the Evangelion universe so that they can fashion their very own ‘NERV command centre’. Options will include a unique ROG Maximus motherboard, two ROG Strix GeForce RTX graphics cards, a ROG Ryujin II 360 AIO cooler, and other top-shelf ROG gear.

ROG Maximus Z690 Hero EVA Edition Motherboard

The ROG Maximus Z690 Hero EVA Edition is covered in the classic purple and green of the EVA-01 and is similarly well-equipped. Robust cooling and power delivery are poised to push the latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors to the max. An A.T. Field design around the CPU socket and polymo-lighting on the I/O cover that switches between EVA-01 normal and berserk modes is a further aesthetic treat.

ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3090 and 3080 EVA Edition Graphics Cards

The EVA Editions of the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 and ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 come equipped with a myriad of performance-enhancing features. Aesthetic cues from EVA-01 cover the shroud and backplate, and the iconic synchronization effect is displayed on the front ARGB panel.

ROG Ryujin II 360 ARGB EVA Edition AIO Cooler

From end to end, the ROG Ryujin II 360 ARGB EVA Edition embodies the Evangelion spirit. A gunmetal pump cover surrounds a 3.5-inch screen that displays vital stats and customizable GIFs. Meanwhile, reinforced tubing pipes coolant into a radiator loaded with three NERV-styled ARGB fans, ensuring exemplary stability in the heat of battle.

The ROG Strix Helios EVA Edition is a premium mid-tower gaming chassis with three tempered-glass panels, a refined aluminium frame, and integrated front-panel RGB lighting. Interior and exterior details have been fashioned to match the aesthetics of the EVA-01 and house the other ROG x Evangelion components, making it the cornerstone of the collaboration.

This formidable combo consistently provides wobble-free keystrokes, a near-zero debounce delay, plus IP57 waterproofing and dust resistance for reliable deployment throughout prolonged campaigns.

ROG Keris Wireless EVA Edition Mouse

The ROG Keris Wireless EVA Edition weighs just 79 grams and sports the EVA-01’s striking green and purple colour scheme. With a 16,000 dpi ROG sensor and ROG push-fit switch sockets, users can aim with extreme precision and customize the amount of trigger force required to deliver a menacing payload.

Razer announced two new editions of the Razer Enki Pro gaming chair to complement the line: the Razer Enki Pro Williams Esports Edition and the Razer Enki Pro Koenigsegg Edition. First announced at RazerCon 2021, the Razer Enki Pro features premium, sustainable Alcantara upholstery, a dual-density cushioned backrest comprised of two different cushion densities, and a magnetic memory foam head cushion.

The Razer Enki Pro also comes with a recline dial, a carbon-fibre finish, and is centred around optimal weight distribution, with 110-degree shoulder arches, built-in lumbar support to encourage a neutral sitting position, and a 21” ultrawide seat base ensuring long-lasting support during work or play, to reduce sitting fatigue over extended periods of time.

To honour Razer’s continuous partnership with Williams Esports that started in 2018, the Razer Enki Pro Williams Esports Edition comes in the team’s emblematic blue colour scheme. As a key player in the F1 and esports racing scene across nine different racing games, fans of the esports organization now have a throne to represent and support the team. The ultimate gaming chair for all-day comfort will allow players to maintain their perfect form from practice to pole position.

“Razer is a pioneer in esports with world-class products, a renowned brand with an enthusiastic community of fans,” said Steven English, Director of Esports at Williams Racing. “We are extremely excited to have a special Williams Esports edition of the Razer Enki Pro for our community and team to represent our brand.”

Aligned with Koenigsegg’s history of pushing the limits of automotive innovation, the Razer Enki Pro was selected as the gaming chair for the brand’s official edition. The Razer Enki Pro Koenigsegg Edition follows Razer’s partnership with the high-performance automotive brand announced last year and features recognizable elements from the popular Koenigsegg Regera. The chair comes in the carmaker’s signature yolk yellow colour, with the iconic Koenigsegg logo on the front and shield emblem imprinted on the back.

“Koenigsegg strives to never rest on making the next automotive innovation for ultimate performance,” said Halldora von Koenigsegg, Chief Operating Officer of Koenigsegg Automotive AB. “We see the same in Razer’s meticulous and constant effort to make the undisputed best gear for gamers. The Razer Enki Pro is the absolute best gaming chair to stay comfortable, and we are proud to collaborate on a unique chair that synergizes with our recognizable brand design.”
