XPG Showcase Battery-Free Wireless Peripherals and Smarter ATX 3.1 Power Supply @ Computex 2026
Computex 2026: The eTeknix team is here at Computex 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, bringing you coverage of the latest, greatest, and next-generation of PC hardware, components, gaming tech, and much more! While we’re currently on the show floor taking many pictures and having meetings, we will endeavour to update our live gallery throughout the day, which you can check out here!
XPG
We’re back at it for day two of Computex 2026, and our first meeting of the morning is with XPG. Our feet are already tired and the Taipei weather is heating up, but thankfully the team at XPG has a spectacular range of fresh components and peripherals to keep us out of the sun for a little while longer. Walking onto the XPG stand, the first thing that caught our eye was their massive new Project DREAMIX showcase chassis. Whilst the brand is still treating this as a prototype and hasn’t firmly committed to a retail launch just yet, the engineering on display is phenomenal. It is clearly going to be a very expensive, premium option, but for enthusiasts looking to build a completely unique, oversized showpiece rig, it is absolutely a project to keep an eye on.
For something much more consumer-friendly, XPG is debuting the Invader X II mid-tower chassis. We thoroughly loved the original Invader X, and this latest evolution steps things up by implementing a single-piece, two-sided curved tempered glass window that delivers completely uninterrupted views of your system interior. The chassis ships with four fans as standard, configured with three intakes and one exhaust, whilst offering plenty of headroom to mount additional cooling along the top and rear rails. For high-airflow purists, XPG is also showing off a full-mesh alternative variant that ships with larger 140mm front intake fans and supports up to 11 fans in total for maximum thermal performance.
Over in the peripheral zone, the brand is expanding its lineup with the new Precog wireless gaming headset, which feels exceptionally lightweight and comfortable while integrating a very clean infinity mirror illumination design. They are also introducing a pair of competitive gaming monitors, available in both black and white finishes, sporting snappy 210Hz refresh rates at a sharp 1440p resolution.
The real innovation on the desk, however, comes from a new wireless keyboard and mouse combo. On the surface, they look like standard, clean gaming gear, and at around £55 for the pair, they are highly affordable. The magic here is that they are entirely wireless yet contain no traditional batteries whatsoever. Instead, XPG is utilising a high-efficiency supercapacitor design. This allows the brand to completely bypass strict international shipping restrictions and additional manufacturing costs associated with lithium batteries, whilst granting consumers a peripheral set that fully charges in a mere 6 minutes and lasts up to 2 weeks on a single charge. XPG is also making a noticeable push into the seating market with two new gaming chairs aimed at different price brackets. The entry-level model offers a robust height-adjustable backrest to comfortably accommodate different users alongside adjustable armrests. The premium tier model goes all-out, adding full 4D armrests, dedicated adjustable lumbar support, an adjustable headrest, and an upgraded independent backrest mechanism. We spent some time testing both models on the booth, and the tactile support and cushioning feel incredibly comfortable.
XPG have a really interesting way of controlling fans too, instead of using the traditional PWM header these fans are controlled via USB 2.0 header. This means you can control upto 11fans in a single chain. But also, this allows full software control for lighting and data analytics of each fan. This allows control of speeds in real time, by the user or through their AI suite.
On the cooling front, XPG is displaying a massive variety of premium AIO liquid coolers decked out with vivid LCD panels and dense ARGB lighting customisation, alongside a new line of budget-focused air towers. These single-tower options feature clean industrial covers that look great whilst keeping manufacturing costs down, making them a highly attractive option for system integrators and budget-conscious DIY builders alike.
To wrap things up, we spent some time analysing their latest ATX 3.1 power supply safety features. XPG is demonstrating its new Xtreme Power Guard protection technology on their latest high-end units, like the Cybercore III and Fusion series. To prove how robust the software and hardware integration is, they set up a live demo rig equipped with custom switchboxes that allowed us to manually disconnect individual sensing and power pins within a live 12V-2×6 power cable. We watched in real-time as the internal microcontrollers balanced the electrical load across the remaining pins. The moment the current draw pushes past safe operating tolerances, the Xtreme Power Guard protection layer instantly triggers hardware warnings, automatically rolls back power delivery, or safely shuts down the entire system to ensure your high-end GPU and motherboard remain completely protected from melting or electrical damage.
