Walking the show floor at CES, Pro Gamers Group had plenty of new PC hardware to offer. From the latest XR Series 1000W PSU and next-gen cooling to precision mechanical keyboards, creator tools, and even a haptic racing simulator, PGG’s booth showcased just how deeply integrated its hardware ecosystem has become. Rather than leaning on flashy gimmicks or one-off concepts, the focus was firmly on engineering refinement, performance-driven design, and products that solve real problems for gamers, creators, and PC builders.
Our visit highlighted just how broad the Pro Gamers Group portfolio is in 2026. Across brands like HAVN, Ducky, APNX, TX3, Streamplify, AeroCool, and others, the emphasis was on technical innovation done right.

HAVN’s new XR 1000W PSU
HAVN was arguably the star of the show for PGG at this year’s tradeshow, showcasing their brand-new XR Series 1000W PSU. Carefully designed with performance in mind, the new power supply delivers excellent efficiency, power delivery, and noise levels when compared to leading rivals.
The HAVN XR 1000W PSU manages to beat out many competing brands when comparing noise levels, achieving Cybenetics Platinum A++ rating – a score achieved by sub-15 decibel noise readings.
Noise aside, the 1000W PSU features many of the brand’s cutting-edge technologies, including a new monopart die-cast aluminum top plate and the use of its HF (Harmonized Flow) series fans, seen in the hugely popular BF 360 Flow PC case. This pairing allows the PSU to more effectively draw air towards the fan blades and over the core internals, resulting in lower temperatures overall.
Alongside this, premium superflex cables have also been introduced with this model, providing 37.72% lower contact resistance for cooler overall connections.
Nitro Concepts haptic racing simulator
Next up was Nitro Concepts with their latest haptic racing simulator – a middle-ground between your run-of-the-mill simulator and more premium, piston-driven options.
The E-racing simulator comes with haptic cushions built into the seat, which provide real-time feedback while you’re driving. That could be going over rougher terrain, hitting the apex on a corner, or slamming on the brakes.
This is accompanied by new LED light bars down the sides of the steering, which, again, give real-time feedback during your race. This can be gear change indications, an upcoming driver position, or general track information.
Dual fans are located under the steering wheel, too, which is a nice touch for keeping you cool during the race.
Ducky keyboards
Ducky was also on display at this year’s showcase, with their OK-M Series, Cushion 98, and Strata 98 & 75 boards.
The OK-M Series is the one-size-fits-all mechanical keyboard from Ducky, delivering great performance at a price that won’t break the bank. It’s a premium-feeling board that is designed for anyone looking for reliable, strong performance.
Ducky’s Cushion 98 was also on display, featuring the Ducky Nest Mount system. The 80%, 980 layout of this board offers excellent versatility and comfort for long typing/gaming sessions.
For enthusiasts, Ducky also brought the Strata 98 & 75 to the table, two high-performance boards for work and play. Alongside this, Ducky also showed off its latest Runscape-styled keyboard in partnership with Starforge Systems.
PGG’s new Starforge Systems partnership
Pro Gamers Group was proud to present a number of new prebuilt gaming systems in line with its new partnership with Starforge Systems. The HAVN BF Flow 360 PC case will be used in the Starforges Explorer III, Explorer III Pro, and Explorer III Elite gaming PCs.
APNX also showcased two V2-F Starforge-designed PC cases, each designed with specific franchises in mind. Alongside this, APNX also brought the FP4, FP5, and FP45 fans to this year’s showcase. A new LC2D AIO was also on offer, designed for reliable cooling and visual expression in mind.
Aerocool corner at CES
Aerocool’s corner of the booth showcased a range of new products, including fans, CPU coolers, cases, and power supplies. You can see Aerocool’s new Forge fans below, sporting daisy chain support, newly-designed copper ring design for enhanced balance, and fluid bearings.
On the right, you can see the fans in use with the brand’s new Icicle AL40 – a white CPU cooler with onboard display for core system vitals.
Alongside this, we saw the latest Premier G1 PSU series, two well-priced power supplies with Gold efficiency ratings. The Smart G1 is the non-modular PSU that keeps costs low, while continuing to deliver solid power. The Premier G1 is a modular PSU with Cybenetics Platinum rating, making it a fine choice for anyone who wants modularity without breaking the bank.
Endgame Gear shows off new mice
A bunch of new mice were also in the spotlight this year, specifically Endgame’s latest OP1 8K V2 mouse. The latest arrival from Endgame Gear is aiming for the “fastest gaming mouse in the world” title, thanks to the arrival of a custom PixART PAW3950 U+1F95A sensor and mechanical Kailh GX SPDT switches. Both have been deployed in the new gaming mouse to deliver unmatched latencies and overall precision.
The brand also showed off its XM2 8K V2, XM2W 4K V2, and OP1W 4K V2. Both 8K variants of these mice use the same custom sensor, and both weigh in at around 50 grams.
Final thoughts
Overall, Pro Gamers Group’s CES presence was less about big reveals and more about showing how far its hardware ecosystem has come. Across cases, cooling, power supplies, peripherals, and creator tools, the focus was consistently on thoughtful design choices and products built to last.
Rather than chasing trends, PGG continues to refine the fundamentals that matter most to PC builders and enthusiasts. It’s a quieter approach than many CES showcases, but one that leaves a strong impression – and reinforces Pro Gamers Group’s role as an ever-growing force in the PC hardware space.
