ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse (Magnetic Charging Stand, 12 Programmable Buttons, 19,000 DPI, Push-fit Hot Swap Switch Sockets, ROG Micro Switches&Paracord and Aura RGB lighting),Black

Would ideally rate it 4/5, but considering that we have few 'dependable' gaming mouse options and Asus has stepped in with a sturdy technical build I'm putting it at 5.Aside from the usual plus points shared with similar mice, few things I've noticed:Pros- Perhaps only mouse that I've used so far that work almost equally well on hard and cloth pads. It doesn't drag heavy on soft pads yet still has a sense of 'stickiness' for flicks. It also doesn't slip/scatter your aim on hard pads.- Bit heavy, but its a plus as the movements are smooth and actions feel more .. controlled.- 8khz polling. I turned this on only after a recent pc upgrade. On my earlier (quite old i7) machine the cpu couldn't handle it and caused fps drops. Have 0 such drops now, make sure to have a newish multicore cpu.- Extremely well build and polished well, no rubber surface that might peel off later.Cons- Everyone talks of it, and Armory Crate is.. famous. From now on I'll keep it on a backup laptop to customize settings which get saved to the mouse onboard memory anyway.- that teeny joystick by the thumb might be a + for some, I haven't found ways to apply it effectively. I removed it and had the shielded cap plugged in place. But AC still installs a 'virtual' mouse and keyboard on my pc, least one of which is because of the joystick I suspect. These don't cause any issues as such, but I don't have a preference for it.- No dpi switch button near mouse wheel, but I remapped the the wheel click for it.Neutral- 32k sensor. Might be useful for multi monitor setups I guess. I tried it for a bit, applying appropriate fractions to mouse sensitivity in Overwatch, but it felt similar to lower dpi and higher sens. Not knocking on this sensor in particular, have seen similar for other high dpi mice too - SteelSeries, Logitech, etc.If it lasts long enough without performance issues, I can see this one as a favorite.

Very beautiful, easy to set up the buttons in armory crate software, same you use to control the lighting. More than likely you know this if you are buying this mouse because most use this mouse to complete a full rog high end build like myself. The dogle is the stand itself which I found to be pretty cool, the mouse is magnatized so not good if you plan to use on a metal desk. High dpi pole rating. It is a big and heavy mouse. Kind of like the old school mouses with the big ball on top for scrolling with. But once you get used to it and is comfortable to use and also moves smoothly like it's on a air hockey table. I really enjoy this mouse. Hope this helps.

I've been a PC gamer for over 20 years. This is the best mouse I've ever used, but it's not suitable for every application. Strictly speaking I would say using this mouse is not suitable for FPS or other high speed games, you'll definitely want to go with something lighter. But for every other genre, this mouse is amazing, especially MMOs. Other mice in this style overdo it I think - too many buttons, for example. Putting 12 side buttons on a mouse makes those buttons really small. I always wanted a mouse like this, that had more than 3 side buttons, but not so many that the buttons themselves were tiny. I also really appreciate the way these buttons are aligned, it's very intuitive and made sense to me right away.It's a heavy mouse. Keep that in mind. The battery life also isn't that amazing, I have to recharge it every 5-7 days or so, but that's hardly a complaint. The only other real negative is the price, but honestly....you get what you pay for. Solid build quality. Highly customizable in the software, which is also easy to use (the LEDs can be very bright, so I shut most of them off). The only thing I wish ASUS would change in the software is allowing us to keybind F13-F24, or other non-existent keys, on the mouse. Basically as it works now you have to keybind to existing keys on your keyboard/mouse. I wish we had access to "dead" keys that aren't used for anything. Other than that, this thing is a tank, all the buttons including the scroll wheel feel solid, and it fills a niche I had been wanting for so long. I really hope ASUS continues making this mouse for a long time because I'm sure I'll buy another one in the far future. Shoot, I might buy another one now and just keep it boxed up in case I ever need it. That might seem excessive, but this mouse is literally the only one in its class. There is no other mouse designed like it, that I have seen, when it comes to the arrangement/size of the side buttons. It is perfect for me, and feels so comfortable. It is a game changer (pun intended).If the price doesn't deter you, and you don't play FPS, this mouse is the one. I can't recommend it enough.

I've been using the ASUS ROG Spatha X for a few months now, and I can confidently say this is one of the most impressive gaming mice I've ever owned. While it’s definitely on the heavier side, the weight feels intentional—giving it a premium, armored feel that actually complements my playstyle, especially in FPS games.What really elevates the experience is the deep customization. From button remapping to lighting effects, everything can be fine-tuned to your liking. I especially love that I can sync it with my ASUS desktop—the RGB lighting even reflects system temperatures, giving me at-a-glance insight into my machine's performance.And it's cool looking. The design is bold, futuristic, and uniquely ROG. If you're looking for a really cool, unique, customizable, and well designed gaming mouse with performance, I highly recommend the ROG Spatha X.

Overall, this is a pretty awesome mouse. I like the extra buttons. Would’ve liked a little bit more raised thumb area. Keep squeezing it and hitting one of the buttons, but if you position your hands correctly, it works great. Also, he seems to keep my wrist from hurting as much When I position my hand correctly.
