ASUS ROG Pugio Aura RGB USB Wired Optical Ergonomic Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

  • ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting in three different zones features a nearly endless spectrum of colors with the ability to synchronize effects across an ever-expanding ecosystem of Aura Sync enabled products
  • Configurable magnetic side buttons for a truly ambidextrous and ergonomic gaming mouse
  • Gaming-grade optical sensor with 7200 DPI, 150 IPS and 30g acceleration for fast and accurate tracking
  • Exclusive push-fit socket design to easily swap the durable 50-million-click Omron switches
  • Intuitive ROG Armoury software interface for easy customization of buttons, performance and lighting settings

ROG Pugio is an ambidextrous gaming mouse that offers ultimate customizability to meet the needs of the most hardcore gamers. Its configurable side buttons let you decide on your own side button layout, while exclusive push-fit switch sockets offer variable click resistance. The push-fit design makes it easy to replace worn out switches to extend the lifespan of the mouse. The Pugio features stunning, aggressive aesthetics to match its performance — including angular ASUS Aura RGB light channels with Aura Sync support.

Configurable Side Buttons

Ambidextrous mice with side buttons usually feature a mirrored button layout to accommodate both right- and left-handed gamers. The drawback of this design is that it often results in side button misclicks. Even with the buttons disabled, they can still be distracting. With the ROG Pugio, there’s no need to change your grip style to avoid the buttons. The Pugio has configurable magnetic side buttons on both flanks to give you a truly ambidextrous and ergonomic gaming mouse. Simply swap the buttons out and replace them with the side button covers: use four, two, or no side buttons — the options are all yours!

To provide extra options, the Pugio is bundled with an additional pair of high-quality Japanese-made Omron switches for a different click feel, right out of the box!
