Arm yourself and take aim with the ROG Gladius II optical gaming mouse, the successor to the original Gladius and the next step in the evolution of the ultimate gaming mouse.

And with ASUS Aura Sync lighting technology, you’ll outshine the competition.

Note: ROG Sync is enabled and controlled via ROG Armoury software, and Aura Sync is enabled and controlled via the motherboard’s ASUS Aura software. To download Aura software, visit the support page for your Aura-enabled motherboard.

Dedicated DPI Target Button
Whether you’re camping out in a sniper nest or hunting down the enemy, the DPI target button is your best ally. You can switch sensitivity settings simply by holding down the DPI target button, which lowers the DPI for more accurate sniping or raises it for faster scrolling across the screen. Default DPI settings return as soon as the button is released.

Designed for Comfort and Accuracy
Separate button design requires less actuation force, delivering faster responses
Get immediate and crip responsiveness via the scroll wheel that includes an integrated Alps encoder
Rubber side panels with Mayan-inspired design ensure a secure and comfortable grip
Detachable micro-USB cable with a quick-release switch
DPI switch toggles sensitivity, while the DPI target button provides short instances of precision
Specially-designed micro-USB cable prevents cord snagging
Unrivaled Performance
Exclusive Push-Fit Switch Socket Design
ROG Gladius II features an exclusive push-fit socket design that allows you to easily change switches, so you can vary click resistance or extend the lifespan of the mouse by replacing worn or broken switches.

Omron D2F and D2FC series switches are compatible with ROG Gladius II.

Note: You can reuse the cushions attached to the bottom of Gladius II switches to fill the remaining space, when shorter switches are used as replacements.

Durable 50-Million-Click Switches
Mouse buttons and switches – especially switches on gaming mice – take the most abuse. Manufactured with high-quality Omron mouse switches that are rated to at least 50 million clicks, ROG Gladius II is built to last.

For additional options, Gladius II is bundled with an additional pair of Japanese-made Omron switches.
Advanced Optical Sensor
Every strike is critical. At the heart of ROG Gladius II is an optical sensor that provides you with the accuracy and precision needed to take down the opposition.
  • 12000 DPI

    OPTICAL SENSOR

    Dots per inch (DPI) is the measure of a mouse’s sensitivity to movement. The 12000 DPI optical sensor in Gladius II makes it possible to move the cursor all the way across a 4K UHD display with less than an inch of mouse movement!
  • 50g

    MAX ACCELERATION

    Gravitational acceleration (g) increases the distance that the cursor travels when the mouse is moved quickly: the faster the mouse is moved, the greater the gravitational acceleration. The Gladius II uses the latest 50g sensor!
  • 250 IPS

    MAX SPEED

    Inches per second (IPS) is the malfunction speed — the max speed at which the mouse sensor can accurately track movement. The Gladius II has a maximum speed of 250 IPS, which is ideal for users who prefer low-sensitivity settings.
Best Mobility
Unplug and Go
A quick-release switch at the bottom of the mouse releases the micro-USB cable with one swift movement – it’s that easy!
Intuitive Customization
Personalize Your Gladius II
The Gladius II features innovative ROG Armoury software that lets you adjust settings to suit your style. Customize Aura RGB lighting effects, adjust performance and surface calibration settings, program and map buttons, create profiles, and more!
