ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Gladius Gaming Mouse
Ergonomically-designed wired optical mouse for unbeatable gaming performance with a 6400dpi optical sensor and exclusive customizable click resistance
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. Gladius is packed with gaming-related features including an exclusive easy-swap switch socket design for customizable click resistance, a two-level in-game DPI switch, two ergonomic slide-to-press side switches, and a 6400 dots per inch (DPI) optical sensor that tracks up to 200 inches per second and 50g acceleration.
Designed with input from the world’s top gamers
ROG sought input from the world’s top pro
gamers during the initial design stages to get the right look and feel for ROG
Gladius. Measuring 126 x 67 x 45mm and weighing just 116g, Gladius has an
ergonomically-designed chassis that perfectly fits all mouse grip types ranging
from the palm, claw, or fingertips; while tactile rubber side panels adorned
with intricate Mayan-inspired lines to ensure a secure grip in the heat of
battle. Gladius has a steel-grey finish with a special sweat-resistant coating
that maintains a comfortable feel even during marathon gaming sessions.
Six programmable buttons are provided in
total, with left and right buttons that are independent of the mouse chassis to
ensure exceptional responsiveness. There are also two programmable slide-to-press
side switches that can be triggered by sliding the thumb forward; along with a
scroll wheel with an Alps® encoder provides a positive feel.
Unbeatable gaming performance
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 clutch enables instant
switching between two sensitivity levels — a standard mode tuned at 1600DPI for
everyday gameplay, and an extra-low speed mode at 400DPI for better aim and
more accurate sniping.
Gladius 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 also included for gamers wanting to
personalize the click response for a different feel.
To enable
gamers to save their profiles, 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 includes a calibration tool that analyzes and learns surface
characteristics to hone sensor accuracy for pixel-perfect precision and better
in-game responsiveness for that added advantage.
Built for home or LAN parties
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 from Gladius 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 a ROG carry pouch, two ROG logo stickers, and four smooth-glide mouse feet.
