Verdict

The ASUS ROG Chakram X is a high-performance, tri-mode (2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2, wired) gaming mouse featuring a next-gen 36,000 DPI ROG AimPoint optical sensor with a maximum speed of 650 IPS and 50g acceleration. It is characterized by an 8,000 Hz wired polling rate, a unique programmable 4-directional joystick (analog/digital modes), and Push-Fit Switch Socket II for hot-swapping 3-pin mechanical or 5-pin optical switches. Main pros include its exceptional 114-hour battery life (2.4 GHz), fast charging via USB-C (25 hours of play from 15 minutes), and Qi wireless charging support. However, it is relatively heavy at 127g, carries a premium price tag, and the joystick placement may feel unnatural for users with smaller hands.
