The new ROG Gladius III is... rather different from its predecessor. As someone who have used the previous two Gladius mice, let's take a look at what's new.

So... Asus ROG Malaysia kinda sent me a lot of stuff to check out in this video! A huge thanks to @ASUS Malaysia @ROG Malaysia for these items! I had a blast unboxing them!

We reviewed each mice for at least 1 month and a half, most of them being 2 months each. We would have included more mice into the mix but we don't have a contact yet with Steel Series and stopped acquiring Razer mice because they just don't last long (between Anton and I, we have bought 5 razer mice over the years and just are not happy with longevity)

Light and customizable, with PixArt PAW 3370

Akhirnya ASUS Ngerti Yang Bagus Itu Gimana 😘 | ROG CLAYMORE II & GLADIUS 3

Banyak Yang Baru Dari ASUS ROG | Review Mouse ASUS ROG Keris & Gladius III

Review the new ROG Gaminf Gear

My setup is all ASUS ROG and includes a build enclosed in the ROG Hyperion GR701 case, the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless keyboard, the fantastic ROG Moonstone Ace L glass mat, the lightweight ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition mouse, the ROG Falchion ace mini keyboard and the Rog Gladius III mouse.

This mouse, which can be used both wired and wireless, allows you to use either optical or mechanical in its switches.

If you say that I am talented, but my equipment limits my abilities, then you can take your performance and talent to a higher level by buying such beautiful equipment.

ASUS ROG Gladius III is a great lineup update; Compared to the previous version, both models, both wired and wireless, have significantly reduced weight and an updated sensor. Other advantages - first of all, good ergonomics, high responsiveness and the ability to replace switches - also did not disappear.

Those few little things which could have been better in Claymore, ARE better in Claymore II.

The best gaming mouse ever you can try it!

Video review from the ASUS ROG BALTICS channel

Because of all that has been shown, ROG Gladius III mice in their wired and wireless variants deserve AX Platinum award.

The ASUS ROG Gladius III is the second mouse in a series to bring the PixART 3370 sensor to the test in a package that targets a specific type of gamer. If you like mice that have a very high profile and generally do not look for the lightest mouse on the market - this model could be very interesting for you.

Launched fresh from the ROG HQ, the Asus ROG Gladius III Wireless gaming mouse is the company’s latest optical gaming mouse, launched alongside the ROG Claymore II mechanical keyboard. The first Gladius model was launched back in 2014, and we are now at the third iteration of the series, complete with a wireless version (Yes, there is a wired version that is 10g lighter). Before we get into the review, let’s go through some specs.

REVOLUTIONARY PERFORMANCE

ROG Gladius III Wireless features tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz RF, Bluetooth® LE 5.2, wired USB) and a 19,000 dpi optical sensor with class-leading 1% deviation (tuned to 26,000 dpi) for near-zero latency and unrivaled precision. A unique pivoted button mechanism ensures instantaneous actuation without unwanted clicks. Its ergonomic shape offers comfort for marathon gaming sessions, and a unique Push-Fit Switch Socket II design ensures compatibility with both mechanical and Omron optical micro switches. Finishing touches include a flexible ROG Paracord and round-edged 100% TPFE mouse feet for an ultra-smooth glide, plus laser-engraved ROG markings with RGB lighting on the textured, nonslip side panel.
