The main reason why the mouse can't sync in wireless mode is because it would use up too much battery and you would need to constantly connect the mouse anyways to charge and of course there are some other technical issues which reduces performance so therefore they opted not to do this. If it was possible to offer this and it made sense then we would have definitely offered this option.
Regarding the DPI settings and shortcut button issues, please clarify the issues in more details so I can follow up on it with our peripheral team. We're constantly trying to improve all features for all peripheral products and we're constantly working on the software/drivers/firmware.
"Too much battery" but I charge it every night anyway when I use it wireless? Unless you're talking only a couple of hours then your point is moot. Why does it consume so much battery power to have Aura sync with it when Armoury has it's own LED control that works just fine on wireless mode? I'm confused why there is such a drastic difference. When a change or adjustment occurs in Aura Sync just have it "synchronize" with the settings in Armoury. But unfortunately, I have to uninstall Armoury to have Aura work, right? You have to admit that is pretty damn stupid. But when I uninstall Armoury then how can I have the settings for my Spatha without ARMOURY to set it up??? Please enlighten me on to how I can set up my button shortcuts, dpi settings, led control, etc from AURA. (Rhetorical because we all know that it can't.)
It makes it useless. I have a very fancy flashy $150 mouse with no settings. OR I have a very techy gaming mouse with no Aura which is not what is advertised. Because of these software conflicts (which are at no fault to the consumer) we have to choose between the advertised features for Spatha.
Yet Asus advertises this:
"ASUS Aura Sync takes RGB lighting beyond the checkbox, combining and controlling the LEDs of all your Aura-enabled products from a single application to achieve perfect, synchronized harmony. From motherboards and RGB strips to graphics cards and beyond, Aura Sync enables a veritable symphony of light for ultimate personalization."
It is followed by two "*" but NONE of those indicate that for the Spatha then wired mode must be used and that Armoury conflicts with current installed software. I like to have Armoury, but I have to uninstall it if I want my Spatha to sync with Aura. But that isn't represented in the above picture. So can you honestly tell me that this is accurate? Because from a consumers perspective when it's very misleading. If you want to have the DPI adjustments, button shortcuts, full customization then you MUST have Armoury. But if you have Armoury then you lose Aura sync even if it's connected by USB. That is a conflict at a programmers level and that makes the picture that I captured above FALSE! These issues have nothing to do with the end user. We spend a lot of money on everything and have certain expectations (like pictured above) only to have Asus respond with a bunch of asterisks. I've shown my friends my setup by which they are all impressed but when I show them my wired (wireless) mouse the very first thing they ask is, "Why do you have a wireless mouse that constantly needs to be plugged in and with a bunch of buttons that you can't use?" My answer, "Because Asus software is crap." Sorry... but until the issue is resolved, what answer can I honestly give?

I concur that this is a much more ergonomic and user-friendly idea
THANK YOU! Oh my God there is someone that listens! LOL! Seriously though. You're wasting so much man power programming, writing code, distributing, keeping it all updated when you can be saving time (and money) by making it easier for yourselves and us by making it all uniform. There would be a lot less conflict and it would be a lot more user friendly. Plus, it would be a lot more appealing to say, "We have one software the offers a plethora of custom settings" than to say "we have a plethora of various software that offer various settings*
*Software may conflict with eachother. Individual hardware may vary."
