Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about ASUS ROG Gladius II Origin

  • Exclusive push-fit switch socket design for easy switch replacement and extended lifespan
  • Highly accurate 12,000 DPI optical sensor with smooth tracking performance
  • Comfortable ergonomic right-handed shape suitable for various grip styles
  • High-quality build with a sturdy shell and premium materials
  • Vibrant three-zone RGB lighting with Aura Sync compatibility
  • Includes useful accessories like two detachable cables (braided and rubber) and a travel pouch
  • Satisfying tactile clicks from the main separated buttons

What customers don't like about ASUS ROG Gladius II Origin

  • Premium price point often cited as high compared to similar competitors
  • Heavier than many modern gaming mice (approx. 110g), which may not suit all players
  • ROG Armoury II software can be buggy, unpolished, or lack advanced customization
  • Rubber side grips can feel slippery or 'clammy' for users with sweaty hands
  • Lack of advanced features like swappable weights or a 'sniper' DPI button (removed from previous versions)
  • Occasional reports of minor build issues like a rattling scroll wheel or loose side buttons

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Gladius II Origin is a high-performance wired optical gaming mouse featuring a PixArt PMW3360 sensor with a 12,000 DPI sensitivity, 250 IPS tracking speed, and 50g acceleration. Designed for right-handed ergonomic comfort, it distinguishes itself with an exclusive push-fit switch socket design that allows users to easily hot-swap the primary Omron switches to customize click resistance or extend the device's lifespan. Main pros include its exceptional build quality, detachable cable design for portability, and vibrant three-zone Aura Sync RGB lighting. However, notable cons include its relatively high weight of 110g without the cable, which may feel heavy for competitive FPS play, and the lack of a dedicated DPI thumb button found on the standard Gladius II model.
