ASUS Optical Gaming Mouse – ROG Gladius II Core

It’s the best one i’ve ever owned there are no problems with it and very great to play with, the price might be too high for my personal preference tho but good quality anyway.

I bought this mouse for my wife because she was a fan of the rose gold Razer products, however neither of us are a fan of Razer as a company. When we got the package it was in good condition, a little dinged up but nothing inside was shifted at all so the box did its job.

The mouse itself is more then responsive enough for the types of games we play (COOP shooters like DRG and MOBAs like LoL) and a large leap up from her old Logitech G403.

It’s comfortable, the back and forward buttons are in reach with her smaller hands, and it has enough weight to not feel like a toy.

In addition the attention to detail on the design is exactly what we expected from Republic of Gamers, and it subtly carries over all of their other products. The wheel’s texture, the side pads, and the base of the mouse all have the geometric patterns and my wife loved it.

Overall a great anniversary present.

Like I mentioned in the title, I am a long time Razer Deathadder user, buying and using various models of it over the years. I always had like it because it’s a rather large mouse and I have quite big hands, and most mice are uncomfortably small in my hand.

Then I saw this, which is very similar in design, and dimensions, but man it’s so much better than even my most recent Razer Deatheradder Elite. Feels very high quality, mouse is a bit heavy, but I like that. The RGB lighting on it is very nicely done, and the clicks are very tactile. Everything about it feels well built, and designed. The side grips are a very nice touch, they have a great material that doesn’t allow your fingers to slide even if you get slightly sweaty fingers like I do sometimes.

All of that aside, it’s an ASUS ROG product, which usually comes in with a high price tag, for not always a significantly better product. But here, it feels all ROG in build quality, for a very affordable price. Picked mine up while listed at $58.99 USD – which happens to be cheaper than any of the Razer Deathadder models I’ve purchased in the past. As is standard with ASUS ROG products, it comes with a nice array of extras: 2 different length cables, a 1 meter and 2 meter, a very nice metal ROG Sticker, a carrying pouch and MOST IMPORTANTLY REPLACEMENT SWITCHES! This is what really sold me on the mouse. In the event that you actually do wear the switches out, or perhaps would just like to try out the feel of the included additional set, you can do that! Every other mouse I’ve purchased never came with replacement switches – and whenever it would begin to either double click, or not register clicks I’d just have to suck it up and buy another mouse.

Lastly, I’ve seen some other people struggle with pairing the RGB with the Armoury Crate/ASUS Aura apps. I did NOT have this issue at all, not sure if related to the fact that I have a ASUS Rog Strix B550-F Wifi MOBO? But regardless, the mouse functions flawlessly in all aspects, with some very nifty included treats from ASUS.

Absolutely 5/5.

Recomendo muito esse mouse, não somente pelo visual, mas pelas funções que oferece. Foi o melhor mouse que já tive. Vale o investimento!

This mouse is the “Bee’s Knees”, as the kids say nowadays.. I’ve had my fair share of gaming mice at my fingertips & I’ve had a couple that I was sincerely content with. Over the past couple years, I’ve been on the hunt for that perfect gaming mouse.. I needed something that is primarily for FPS games & something that had some size & height to it due to having large hands. I can now say that the hunt is over. It’s completely well-rounded. The ergonomics are impeccable if you have a hybrid claw/palm grip like I do.

Pros:
– Size & height is prefect for gamers with medium to large hands
– Textured rubber side pads ensure a nice grip at all times
– Glides effortlessly across various mouse pad materials
– RGB lighting zones are crisp, clear & vibrant
– Side buttons placed very well
– Comes with Omron switches that can be swapped for desired click

Cons:
– If I REALLY had to come up with something negative about this mouse, it would be that there is a very light actuation force for both Mouse 1 (Left Click) & Mouse 2 (Right Click). Don’t let this deter you from experiencing this amazing mouse, though!

*Side Note* – I chose the Gladius II Origin model over the normal Gladius II simply because I personally do not like the sniper button being under my thumb
