ASUS ROG Gladius III Mouse Review

ASUS ROG Gladius III Mouse Review

Introduction

The ASUS mouse range has always been a bit of an anomaly in their vast range of products. As we’re sure you’re aware ASUS have a product that covers every possible thing you could ever associate with PCs, from cases to monitors and everything in between.

When it comes to their peripherals, even the ROG ones, they are more fine enough than anything particularly earth-shattering. With the exception of a couple of mice, nearly all of them are following the market trends rather than setting them. It might seem like a small thing but when you consider how much of modern PC hardware has been designed by ASUS and copied by others it means you’re left with the impression that their peripheral department is the red-headed stepchild of their setup. It’s not to say they’re bad per se, just that they are things we’ve seen before but with an ASUS logo.

The Gladius III is the third model in the ASUS ROG Gladius range, and with a beefy sensor and some excellent lighting it promises much, particularly if you’re the type of gamer who wants a light weight mouse without resorting to having holes cut into the chassis. Let’s take a closer look.
