“In short the ASUS ROG Gladius II takes all that was great about the original Gladius and improves upon it to bring it bang up to date. Given that even mid-range mice are pushing the £50 mark these days the £80 asking price is in keeping with all high end mice.

The ASUS ROG Gladius II is a fantastic mouse with many improvements since its predecessor. The price, however, is at a high premium. If you can fork out this much money for a mouse, then the ROG Gladius II is, by all means, a great mouse.

Priced at PhP 3,820, the ASUS ROG Gladius II comes dangerously close to the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum. On famous components stores, the G502 is priced at around PhP 3,450. This makes the Gladius II more expensive to one of the most regarded mouse in the market. Both mice, however, have their own advantages to make them standout. The Gladius II offers extreme reliability with Omron switches rated at 50 million clicks. Adding to that are the extra Omron switches that comes in the package that even adds to the longevity of the mouse. The G502 on the other hand, offers a weight-tuning system that makes the device lighter or heavier depending on the user’s preference, as well as Logitech’s famed Infinite Scroll wheel that makes browsing and everyday task a breeze. Both mice comes with great sensors in the form of the PMW-3366 for the G502 and PMW-3360 for the Gladius II as well as RGB capability.

The DPI Target button is also a useful feature which helps you land that important shot with high precision when needed."

Editor's Choice Award

A solid and recommended gaming mouse that is an excellent buy

Editor's Choice

ASUS RoG Gladius II is a great gaming mouse that is a bit more expensive than its competition. It compensates for the higher price by bundling more accessories: you get spare Omron switches (in case the left-click or right-click buttons become overused) and two USB cables so that you can use the lengthier or shorter cable, depending on which is the most comfortable for your situation. ASUS RoG Gladius II performs admirably in any task you want, from gaming to office work, to video and image editing. Even though it is marketed to gamers, anyone will enjoy using this mouse.

It has a great sensor, excellent processing, great (albeit not original) ergonomics for the right hand only, removable switches, detachable cable and nice RGB backlight. But if you like GLADIUS II you rather get the ORIGIN version.

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

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

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!
