Overview
The ASUS ROG Gladius is a wired optical gaming mouse developed for precision-focused desktop gaming. Part of the Republic of Gamers peripheral range, it features an ergonomic right-handed design, a high-resolution optical sensor, and customizable primary-button switches.
The mouse is designed to accommodate palm, claw, and fingertip grip styles. Its textured rubber side panels provide additional grip, while dedicated side buttons support convenient in-game actions and everyday navigation.
Tracking and Controls
