Keyboards, mice, and trackpads I type and click on, including gaming peripherals.
A review of the Asus ROG Strix Morph 96 Wireless, a gasket-mount keyboard retailing at S$229. It is a more affordable, mod-friendly alternative to the Scope II 96 Wireless, letting you swap switches and tinker freely.
Asus collaborated with Counter-Strike pro ZywOo on this special edition of the ROG Falchion Ace HFX, a 65% Hall Effect keyboard with pre-lubed magnetic switches. It retails for S$319, a S$40 premium over the standard model.
Released in July 2025, the Asus ROG Keris II Origin sits S$10 above the Keris II Ace at S$199. Despite the higher price, it is not a successor but a different mouse, each with its own pros and cons.
The Asus ROG Keris II Ace is a wireless gaming mouse retailing for S$189 in black and white. It weighs 54g with a 42,000-dpi optical sensor and supports 4,000 Hz polling wirelessly or 8,000 Hz wired.

The Apple Magic Keyboard retails for S$148, the successor to the Apple Wireless Keyboard at S$98. It's S$50 pricier because Apple finally ditched AA batteries for a built-in rechargeable one, charged via a Lightning cable, giving it a sleeker profile.
I bought the Apple Magic Mouse 2 for S$119 after my old Magic Mouse failed, its cursor frozen despite swapping batteries and Macs. The new model swaps AA batteries for a built-in rechargeable one.
