The companion of our games on PC, the trusty object that can never be missing and that, more and more, receives new keys and becomes more and more elaborate and complex: the mouse. Today we talk about Asus ROG Gladius II , from the Republic of Gamers line.

Specifications

The mouse in question, a jewel suitable for every type of player, has very high specifications for the cost, about € 100 (but which you can also find for less): high number of DPI, acceleration up to 50G and 3 compatible sockets make the Gladius II really suitable for any kind of video game. Here are the specs in detail:

• 12000 DPI optical sensor
• Maximum acceleration 50G.

• Removable connection cable
• Aura Sync lighting
• DPI on the fly adjustment button (3 levels)

To make this package valid and really well designed, the box will also contain two different cables (one rubberized 1 meter and one braided 2 meters), two spare Omron keys (remember that the Omron keys guarantee up to 50 million clicks) and a handy bag to carry the peripheral.

• RoG Gladius II mouse
• 1 meter rubberized connection cable
• 2 meter braided connection cable

• Transport bag

But no more “pleasantries”, let’s really find out how this mouse behaves in hand, using it for games like Wolfenstein II, League of Legends or The Evil Within 2.

Design

The mouse tries, succeeding in part, to reach the non plus ultra of mice, trying to position itself above the various peripherals already on the market: to help achieve this goal, Gladius II was born with the idea of ​​adapting to any type of grip , be it claw, fingertip or palm, and the rubberized side areas allow for greater grip.

The side buttons are customizable through special software and the response speed of the Omron keys makes Gladius II one of the most responsive mice on the market, especially for gaming. We need to dwell on the Omron keys specifically to discuss one factor: the usability and durability of a mouse. Although many companies now churn out peripherals practically every year, the desire to serve the customer has been lost that in addition to being functional and useful, also remains solid and durable: Asus is well convinced of this, to the point of offering even in the package two additional Omron buttons, easy to replace and therefore capable of doubling the lifespan of the mouse.

Aura lighting

Let’s face it: now it’s for gaming only if it has lights. Of course that’s not quite the case, and Asus knows it well. Yet, even the eye wants its part, and in fact the Gladius II does not lack Lighting Aura , now present throughout the ROG department: editable by software and adaptable to other Asus peripherals, it makes everything more colorful and bright, adding flair. to your gaming location.

In short, Asus ROG Gladius II comes to understand the necessary need of gamers: they do not always play only one genre of games, and it is quite obvious that you cannot buy peripherals dedicated to each different genre. The time has come to go back to thinking about the needs of gamers and making them able to adapt, creating useful peripherals dedicated to the whole world of video games, and beyond. Asus has taken this path, and is doing it with courage and dedication: Gladius II is the proof, ready to become your sword in the challenges that await you in the virtual world.
