Awards

Advanced design award

Today on the menu we have the ROG Gladius III Core—a very interesting option for right-handed users. In addition to its characteristic shape, it also uses a web-based driver. This allows it to be customized for various end-user needs, whether it's button mapping, DPI settings, or similar features.

Gold award

If you’re a gamer and you want to treat yourself to a new mouse—and a wired connection isn’t a dealbreaker, then this little beast is definitely worth considering, especially since a price of around €55 is genuinely fair for this type of gaming peripheral from a well-known brand.

Video Reviews

To be honest, the Gladius mouse series is the first in my life that has truly stuck with me long-term, and I’ve consistently upgraded to each new edition from one generation to the next. Ever since I got the first, wired generation, the shape above all—along with the features and performance—just fit me perfectly.

A hot-swap option is also included, where the switches can be easily replaced by removing two rubber covers and unscrewing the upper shell. The ASUS ROG Gladius III Core is a solid option without any major flaws; with its good design and optimized software, it has earned the AXE Advanced Design award.

It looks like a practical mid-range solution that offers more than you would expect for its price.
