Task

Innovative Material for differentiated user experience

In the rapidly developing global gaming market, gamers’ pursuit of ever-enhanced user experience, including better visual and audio effects, as well as improved hardware, keeps pushing the industry forward. As a result, every detail of a product’s design contributes to its success.
Challenge

Meeting Both Function and Aesthetics Needs of Product

Considering gamers’ lighting preferences, ASUS ROG design team innovatively adopted its translucent keyboard design concept for the STRIX 5Plus. The translucent material enables gamers to see the compact structure inside while gaming, creating enhanced lighting aesthetics. To realize this design concept, it was critical to find innovative materials that are translucent, rigid, and flame-resistant. 

ASUS is committed to improve user experience with the cutting-edge technologies. Thanks to Covestro’s innovative solution, we launched the ground-breaking designs for high-performance laptops. We expect to provide more outstanding products to the market in collaboration with Covestro.
