Yeah, if you're going to pay $500+ for a keyboard I'd expect much more than what seems to be listed there. Also, I'm going to guess that OLED touchscreen bit depends on some shitty Windows only application? Then again of all the big names, Asus does seem to end up supporting some of the more open standards so 3rd parties can support it, but some their own stuff (Armoury Crate) can be a disaster.
I'm sure it has good build quality, but for that kind of money, you could buy a custom from something like Keycult (boutique mech boards known to be very limited runs and expensive), or a lot of other custom boards which have both aesthetic/build and functional upgrade for equal or cheaper. There are also other types of keyboard layout and features, like the Moonlander, Glove80, or preferably Dygma (Defy if you want columnar/ortholinear arrangement similar to Moonlander/Ergodox, Raise 2 if you want a standard staggered layout.). All of the above are ergonomic, split keyboards with extra/macro keys and a fuckload of other features depending. There's also new stuff coming down the pipe, I'm waiting for totally standardized open source hall effect boards - there are some now but are often proprietary firmware, config, and only take certain switches (wooting, glorious, keychron and others); not going to waste my money.
For mice, that Harpe Ace Extreme seems good, but its core feature is carbon fiber/weight. If that's your necessity, then I suggest the Zaunkoenig M3K. Alternatively, if you want extra features/buttons, then the Swiftpoint Z2 is by far the best mouse I've seen to date.

The 6000 series isn't likely to show up until late 2026. If you already have a 4000 series you can probably skip the 5000, but if you have anything older its an upgrade to an already significant upgrade between 3000 and 4000. Then again, I maintain that the only Nvidia card worth it is the 5090; AMD / Intel at other price levels
