Test: Einzeltest: Asus ROG Gladius
Zitat: The Asus ROG Gladius is a well built, comfortable mouse that tracks smoothly and ships with extremely easy to use software that enables some handy sensitivity and function customisations. That said, you might have expected more customisation for your money; the Roccat Kone XTD, for example, which is also very comfortable, has many more programmable functions, multiple onboard profiles with automatic, application-based switching also available, more DPI levels and weight adjustment, costs £5 less, and other cheaper mice also offer more in certain areas too.

Asus´s focus has been on hardware, rather than software, and while the price premium certainly trades at least in part on the ROG brand, it´s not entirely unjustified – the replaceable Omron switches (and the bundled second set), ALPS encoder, detachable cables and replacement feet as well as the overall build quality are all indicative of a mouse that´s built to last. Also, the customisations that are available are well suited to the target audience, FPS players, who are less likely to need more than one readily available profile or two DPI levels. If you do, however, the Kone XTD is a fine choice. The Gladius, meanwhile, retails at the maximum we´d ever want to pay for it, so the lack of extra fine-tuning stops it getting our top-grade award, but it still comes recommended if it meets your needs and you´re willing and able to make the investment.
