ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired

ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired is a mid-weight mouse built around the PixArt PMW3389 sensor with Wired (USB 2.0).

The 50 – 16,000 DPI and 1000 Hz (1 ms) figures describe its configuration ceiling; they do not replace measured latency or comfort testing.

✋ Shape & Grip Guide — Is This Mouse Right for Your Hand?

ShapeRight-handed and Ergonomic Gaming
Size124 mm × 66 mm × 42.5 mm
Weight Feel92 g (mid-weight)
Best GripsPalm, Claw

ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired measures 124 mm × 66 mm × 42.5 mm and is listed at 92 g. The published grip guidance is Palm, Claw. Use those measurements against a familiar mouse; grip labels alone cannot predict comfort.

Good fit if

  • You already use Palm, Claw on a similarly sized shell.
  • You want a mid-weight mouse.
  • The Right-handed design matches your preferred hand position.

Consider another shape if

  • You cannot compare the dimensions with a mouse you already find comfortable.
  • You need a large MMO or productivity button grid.

🎯 Sensor & Tracking Quality — What You're Actually Getting

Sensor
PixArt PMW3389
The sensor model is the most useful identifier when comparing tracking hardware.
DPI Range
50 – 16,000 DPI
Maximum DPI is an adjustment range, not a promise of better aim.
Polling Rate
1000 Hz (1 ms)
Higher polling can reduce the interval between cursor updates when the system supports it.
Lift-off Distance
1–2 mm (adjustable)
Lift-off behaviour can vary with pad surface and calibration.
Tracking
400 IPS and 50 G

PixArt PMW3389 is the listed sensor. 50 – 16,000 DPI sets the available sensitivity ceiling. 1000 Hz (1 ms) is the stated polling range. The useful setting is the one that remains stable on your PC, receiver and mouse pad—not necessarily the maximum number.

🧩 Clicks, Buttons & Build Quality

Switches
Omron (50M clicks)
Switch specifications identify the mechanism; sound and feel still require hands-on judgment.
Buttons
6 + DPI switch
Check placement as well as the total count.
Scroll Wheel
Tiled rubber wheel
Encoder type does not fully describe tactility or noise.
Mouse Feet
PTFE (Low Friction)
Glide also depends on the pad surface.
Shell / Body
Textured plastic with magnesium alloy accents
Material and construction affect mass and rigidity; coating feel is not inferred.

Switches: Omron (50M clicks). buttons: 6 + DPI switch. wheel: Tiled rubber wheel. body: Textured plastic with magnesium alloy accents. The listed feet material is PTFE (Low Friction). Treat feel, noise and long-term durability as untested unless a hands-on test is explicitly cited.

🔋 Wireless & Battery — What to Expect

Connection
Wired (USB 2.0)
Use wired or 2.4 GHz for latency-sensitive play; Bluetooth prioritizes convenience.

ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired supports Wired (USB 2.0). No dependable runtime figure is stored.

👤 Who Should Buy This Mouse?

Buy if

  • You specifically want the PixArt PMW3389 platform.
  • A 92 g mouse suits your handling preference.
  • Wired (USB 2.0) matches the devices you use.
  • Your grip and hand size match the Palm, Claw guidance.

Skip if

  • The 124 mm × 66 mm × 42.5 mm shell is a poor match for your hand.

🛒 Practical Buying Advice

Before Buying

Compare 124 mm × 66 mm × 42.5 mm, 92 g, button placement and grip guidance with a mouse you already know.

Value Check

Judge value at the current regional price against mice with the same PixArt PMW3389, connection modes and warranty.

Best Configuration

Start at 1000 Hz and raise polling only if 1000 Hz (1 ms) remains stable on your system. Set DPI for control rather than chasing the maximum figure.

What to Verify

Confirm the exact regional model, package contents, receiver, supported software and warranty before checkout.

Buying Call

Choose ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired if its mid-weight weight, shape, connection options match your setup; otherwise prioritize fit over headline sensor numbers.

🏁 Final Verdict

ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired: the fit matters more than the maximum DPI

ASUS ROG Gladius II Wired's clearest strengths on paper are 92 g weight, PixArt PMW3389, 1000 Hz (1 ms) and Wired (USB 2.0). The deciding risk is fit: confirm the dimensions, grip style and software support before treating the specification sheet as a recommendation.
