Fremont, CA (November 11, 2014) - ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced the ROG Gladius optical wired gaming mouse. This highly-advanced mouse has been engineered for right-handed gamers who demand precision, ergonomic comfort, and a competitive advantage in first-person shooter (FPS) games.

Designed with input from the world’s top gamers

We sought input from the world’s top pro gamers during initial design stages to get the right look and feel for the Gladius. Measuring 126 x 67 x 45mm and weighing just 116g, the Gladius has an ergonomically-designed chassis that perfectly fits all mouse grip types ranging from palm, claw, or fingertips; while tactile rubber side panels ensure a secure grip in the heat of battle. The Gladius also features a steel-grey finish with a special sweat-resistant coating that maintains a comfortable feel even during marathon gaming sessions.

A total of six programmable buttons are available, with left and right buttons that are independent of the mouse chassis to ensure responsiveness. There are also two programmable slide-to-press side switches along with a scroll wheel with an Alps® encoder which provides a positive feel.

Unbeatable gaming performance

The ROG Gladius has an advanced 6400DPI optical sensor capable of tracking up to 200 inches per second and up to 50g acceleration at lift-off distances of 1.5mm. The DPI switch enables instant switching between two user configurable sensitivity levels. Polling rates can also be configured up to 2GHz, ensuring perfect response to every input.   

The new mouse makes use of high-quality Omron® mouse switches that are good for at least 20 million clicks; the ROG-exclusive easy-swap socket makes switch replacement simple, and two Japanese-made additional switches are included for gamers wanting to personalize click response for a different feel.

To enable gamers to save their profiles, the Gladius has built-in flash memory. The innovative Armoury software lets users create, customize and store an unlimited number of profiles on their PCs or gaming notebooks. The software also includes a calibration tool that analyzes and learns surface characteristics to hone sensor accuracy for pixel-perfect precision.

Built for home or LAN parties

The ROG Gladius comes with a 2-meter braided USB cable for desktop use and a regular 1-meter USB travel cable for use at LAN parties or internet cafes. A one-push release button detaches the cable with a simple click.  The micro USB port sits a few millimeters above the table surface and is angled at an incline to prevent the connector from dragging on the desk. Every Gladius mouse comes with an ROG carry pouch, two ROG logo stickers, and four spare smooth-glide mouse feet.
