Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about ASUS ROG Gladius II Wireless

  • Excellent build quality with a sturdy, premium feel
  • Ergonomic right-handed shape comfortable for most hand sizes and grip types
  • Unique hot-swappable switch sockets for easy repair and customization
  • Versatile connectivity options including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired
  • High-performance PixArt sensor providing accurate and responsive tracking
  • Includes useful accessories like extra Omron switches and a travel pouch
  • Onboard memory for storing up to three custom profiles

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

  • Relatively heavy at approximately 125-130g, which may cause fatigue in fast-paced FPS gaming
  • Higher click latency compared to some competitors at the same price point
  • Bulky design is less suitable for users with small hands using claw or fingertip grips
  • Lacks a dedicated internal storage compartment for the USB dongle
  • Customization software (Armoury) is only compatible with Windows
  • Scroll wheel lacks left/right tilt buttons and free-scrolling mode
  • Expensive 'ROG tax' compared to other mice with similar or better specs

Verdict

The Asus ROG Gladius II Wireless is a high-performance ergonomic gaming mouse featuring dual-wireless connectivity via 1ms 2.4GHz RF and Bluetooth, alongside an advanced 16,000 DPI optical sensor with 400 IPS tracking speed and 50g acceleration. Its standout characteristic is the ROG-exclusive push-fit switch socket design, allowing users to easily hot-swap the pre-installed 50-million-click Omron switches to customise click resistance or extend the device's lifespan. Main pros include its versatile tri-mode connectivity, exceptional sensor accuracy, and a comfortable right-handed design suited for various grip styles. However, notable cons include its relatively high weight of approximately 124g, higher-than-average click latency for a wireless gaming mouse, and a lack of a storage compartment for the USB dongle.
