Design Story設計故事

Breaking the Black打破黑色的定義

XG16 white back cover with hidden word grids
"Gaming monitors came in one colour. We asked: what if they didn't?"「電競螢幕只有一種顏色。 我們問:如果不是呢?」

In 2020 gaming displays were all black, built to look powerful and aggressive. A white display could mean something different: portable, personal, easy to carry anywhere. The kind of device you open at a café without it looking like gaming gear.2020 年電競螢幕清一色黑色,訴求力量與電競認同。 白色可以代表不同的事:輕便、個人、生活風格。 一台你能在咖啡廳打開、不必宣示電競身份的螢幕。

Back Cover Design後蓋設計

Hidden Word-Search Grids隱藏的字謎矩陣

Two letter grids hide ROG vocabulary across the back cover: EDGE, DARE, CHOICE, ROG ON, CHAMPION. One is printed on the painted surface; the other is formed inside the rubber by dual-shot injection, so the letters are part of the material itself.後蓋藏兩組字母矩陣,內藏 ROG 字彙:EDGE、DARE、CHOICE、ROG ON、CHAMPION。 一組印刷於塗裝表面;另一組透過雙料射出成型於橡膠內,文字是材質本身的一部分。

Corner Pads + ROG Hidden Codes止滑角墊 + ROG 隱藏符碼

Bright-grey anti-slip pads at the four kickstand points: shock absorption, a deliberate contrast against the all-white body, and small ROG codes only visible up close. That detail drew the most positive comments in the BU review.四個腳架接觸面配置亮灰止滑墊:吸震、打破全白單調的材質點綴,以及近距離才能發現的 ROG 隱藏符碼。 那是 BU 評審中獲最多正面回饋的細節。

Kickstand + Tripod Thread翻蓋支架 + 三腳架螺牙

The foldable kickstand supports portrait and landscape. A standard tripod thread built into the chassis gives more placement options straight away, something no competitor offered at the time.可折疊腳架支援直向與橫向。 機身內嵌標準三腳架螺牙,提供立即擴展的擺放彈性,同類競品當時無人提供。

Black gaming gear feels cold and aggressive. The white XG16 was designed for the opposite. It sits happily among the warm, tactile materials of everyday life: wood, ceramic, linen, soft daylight.黑色電競產品訴求冷峻與攻擊性。 白色 XG16 反其道而行,自在融入日常生活的溫潤材質:木質、陶瓷、亞麻、柔和日光。

The challenge核心難題

No approved formulations. Every surface from scratch.無既有認可配方。 每個表面從零開始。

White shows every production flaw. Black hides surface problems. White reveals yellowing, micro-scratches, uneven texture and coating differences at every stage. At the start, there were no approved white formulations in the supply chain. Every surface needed a fresh qualification cycle from scratch.

白色表面會放大所有生產缺陷。 不同於黑色能隱藏瑕疵,白色會顯示泛黃、微刮痕、紋路不均、塗層差異。 專案初始,供應鏈中沒有任何已認可的白色配方。 每個表面都需重新走完認證流程。

Material Spec材質規格

Body: UV-Stabilised Matte White機身:UV 穩定霧面白
Anti-yellowing formula. Passed 500hr UV accelerated ageing and flex-cycle adhesion tests.抗泛黃配方。 通過 500 小時 UV 加速老化與彎曲週期附著力測試。
Corner Pads: Bright Grey Rubber角墊:亮灰橡膠
Deliberate contrast against the white body. Dual function: shock absorption and a visual break.刻意對比全白機身。 雙重功能:吸震 + 材質節奏點綴。
Rubber: Pantone 5315C, Dual-Shot橡膠:Pantone 5315C 雙料射出
Word-search letters formed inside the rubber. The graphics are part of the material, not printed on top.字謎文字直接成型於橡膠內。 圖形是材質的一部分,而非表面印刷。
Qualification Process認證流程
01

Brief & Direction方向確立

White set as primary CMF direction. Zero existing approved formulations, so full new qualification was required.確立白色為主要方向。 確認無任何已認可配方,需從零認證。

02

Vendor Shortlist廠商遴選

5 vendors approached across body finish, rubber and sleeve, with gloss, matte and semi-matte variants requested.向 5 家廠商取得機身塗裝、橡膠與保護套樣品,涵蓋亮/霧/半霧面。

03

Sample Review樣品評審

15+ surface variants evaluated for colour accuracy, texture, haptics, and uniformity against a controlled white.評審 15+ 個表面樣品,比對色準、紋路、觸感與視覺一致性。

04

Reliability Test信賴性測試

UV yellowing, oxidation resistance, flex-cycle adhesion and scratch visibility, all against simulated product life.UV 泛黃、抗氧化、彎曲週期附著力、刮痕可見度,對照壽命模擬。

05

Sign-off & Handover確認與移交

Final formulation documented. CMF spec submitted for production. Parallel sign-off across body, rubber, sleeve.最終配方建檔,CMF 規格提交生產。 機身、橡膠、保護套三線並行確認。

The Sleeve保護套

Designed as Part of the CMF SystemCMF 系統的一部分

The sleeve wasn't an afterthought. It was part of the white edition's CMF brief from day one: same material family, same white direction, same qualification process, so it feels like it belongs with the device.保護套不是事後補上的。 從第一天就納入白色特仕版 CMF 敘事:同系列材質、同白色方向、同認證流程,讓它像產品的一部分。

Why Parallel Qualification Mattered為什麼並行認證是關鍵

Running white qualification at the same time as the black variant's production, instead of one after the other, was key to hitting the launch date. It meant coordinating five vendors at once, but saved around three months.與黑色版本量產並行推進白色認證(而非序列執行),是達成上市時間的關鍵。 需同時協調五家廠商,但壓縮整體時程約三個月。

Sleeve material sourcing — fabric swatches, webbing and vendor samples

A foldable kickstand handles portrait and landscape on any flat surface. A standard tripod thread built into the chassis opens up everything else: desk stands, tripods, even a quick phone hookup. Placement flexibility no competitor offered at this size.可折疊腳架支援任何平面的直向與橫向。 機身內嵌的標準三腳架螺牙開啟其餘可能:桌面立架、三腳架,甚至快速接上手機。 同尺寸競品無人提供的擺放彈性。

& Decisions
限制、風險
與決策

Project Constraints專案限制
⚖️
Kickstand Balance翻蓋配重
Weight balance between screen and base had to be tested at every kickstand angle. The display needed to stand on its own without tipping.螢幕與底座的重心分配須針對每個腳架角度測試,確保所有姿態下無支撐站立。
📐
Structural Integrity at 11.8 mm11.8mm 薄型結構強度
Keeping the chassis rigid at just 11.8mm without adding weight needed careful material choices and targeted reinforcement.在 11.8mm 內維持整機剛性、不以增重換強度,需精確材料規格與應力點補強。
🎨
White CMF: Zero Qualification白色 CMF:無既有認可
No approved white formulations existed. Every surface (body, rubber, deco bar, sleeve) needed new vendor selection and full reliability testing.供應鏈無任何已認可白色規格。 機身、橡膠、裝飾條、保護套均需重新遴選並完整測試。
Risk Assessment風險評估

White surface degradation: yellowing, abrasion and adhesion failure, far more visible than on black白色表面劣化:泛黃、磨損、剝落在白色上遠比黑色明顯

High

Multi-vendor reliability testing against UV, flex-cycle, and scratch protocols before sign-off確認前針對 UV、彎曲週期與刮痕協議執行多廠商測試

Material qualification timeline: new vendors, no baseline, schedule compression材料認證時程:新廠商、無基準、時程壓縮

High

Parallel qualification: 5 vendors evaluated simultaneously rather than sequentially並行認證:5 家廠商同步評估而非序列

Kickstand tipping: display weight against base footprint across all tilt positions腳架傾倒:各角度下螢幕重量與底座支撐面平衡

Med

Centre-of-gravity analysis; tilt tests at all positions from 20° to 120°重心分析;20°–120° 全角度傾倒測試

Key Decisions關鍵決策

Schedule Risk Mitigation時程風險控制

Run white qualification in parallel with black production白色認證與黑色量產並行推進

Instead of waiting for the black variant, white CMF qualification ran across 5 vendors at the same time, cutting the overall timeline by about 3 months.不等黑色版本完成,白色 CMF 認證同步在 5 家廠商並行,整體時程縮短約 3 個月。

Material Selection材料選定

UV-stabilised paint with anti-yellowing chemistry選用抗 UV 穩定塗料配方

Chosen after accelerated ageing and mechanical stress testing. It was the only formula meeting all five reliability requirements without a thicker coat.在加速老化與機械應力測試後選定。 唯一在不增加塗層厚度下通過全部五項信賴性標準的配方。

Structural結構

Targeted lid-edge reinforcement for slim rigidity蓋板邊緣局部補強維持超薄剛性

Reinforcement along the lid edges kept the chassis rigid at 11.8mm without a noticeable weight increase. Confirmed through flex and torsion testing.蓋板邊緣加入局部補強,於 11.8mm 下維持剛性且無明顯增重。 經彎曲與扭力測試驗證。
