I have been eyeing a travel router from either GL.iNet Beryl 7 or UniFi Travel Router (UTR). Connect the travel router to the hotel Wi-Fi once, go through the captive portal login once, and every device I carry connects to the travel router instead.
On top of that, I can run WireGuard VPN (Virtual Private Network) at the router level, tunneling everything back to my UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber (UCG-Fiber) at home. In this way, my iPhone, laptop, iPad, and Li Xiang’s phone are all protected without having to manage a VPN on each device separately.
Asus ROG sent me the Asus ROG Strix Morph 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard as a review unit. The recommended retail price (RRP) is S$229 and you can buy it from Square Deals Singapore on Shopee. It may be too new, and hence, as of writing, this is the only shop listing it.
The Morph 96 is essentially a cheaper, modding-focused alternative to the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless which I reviewed previously. Asus is targeting gamers and keyboard enthusiasts who want a proper gasket-mount board they can open up, swap switches, and tinker with without starting from a barebones kit.

The ROG Falchion Ace HFX Gaming Keyboard is a 65% wired gaming Hall Effect (HFX) keyboard featuring pre-lubed ROG HFX magnetic switches and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) doubleshot keycaps.

At the Recommended Retail Price (RRP), the Origin is priced S$10 more expensive than Ace. S$199 vs S$189. One would expect Origin to be an upgraded model. However, Origin is not the successor of the Ace. Both are different mice, each with its pros and cons.
There are two variants of the Asus ZenWiFi BQ16. Asus ZenWiF BQ16 (BE25000) and Asus ZenWiF BQ16 Pro (BE30000). Despite having the word Pro inside the product name, there is only one difference between both models.
BQ16 has a dual 5GHz band with a single 6GHz band, while BQ16 Pro has a single 5GHz with a dual 6GHz band.
ROG Keris II Ace is a new wireless gaming mouse from Asus that was launched last month, and it retails for S$189. Two colors are available: Black and White.
Out of the box, it weighs 54g and comes with a 42,000-dpi optical sensor. For polling, it supports 4,000 Hz in wireless mode and 8,000 Hz in wired mode.
The official retail price is S$279, but since this product has been in the market since September 2023, you can get it cheaper. The cheapest I saw was from Amazon.sg, where Bizgram is selling it for S$215.
Thanks to Melvin for the heads up. I managed to get quite a good deal for the Asus ROG Strix RX VEGA56 OC Edition 8GB (ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA56-O8G-GAMING) on Lazada.
I got it for S$499 which is a massive discount from the usual price of S$1,179. At first, I was wondering whether it is a fake since the discount seems absurd.
