Verdict

The ASUS ROG GX860 Buzzard is a high-performance wired gaming mouse featuring an Avago 9800 laser sensor with an adjustable resolution range from 50 to 8200 DPI and a 1000Hz polling rate for 1ms response times. Key characteristics include an ergonomic right-handed design with Mayan-inspired heat-resistant side grips, durable Omron switches rated for 5 million clicks, and eight fully programmable buttons including a two-way DPI switch. Main pros include its comfortable palm-grip orientation, three onboard memory profiles indicated by LED accents (Red, Orange, Green), and extensive software customization for angle-snapping and lift-off distance. Notable cons are its lack of a weight-adjustment system, a non-detachable 1.8m braided cable, and the absence of full RGB lighting beyond its preset profile colors.

What customers dislike about ASUS ROG GX860 Buzzard?

  • Side rubber grips have reported durability issues, with some users noting the glue fails after short use
  • The 8200 DPI laser sensor is considered lower performance compared to newer optical sensors in similarly priced rivals
  • Medium-sized frame may feel too small for users with larger hands or a preference for bulkier mice
  • Fixed weight design lacks the customisation options found in some competing gaming mice
  • Legacy software support can be difficult, with some users struggling to find official drivers or integrate with newer apps like Armoury Crate
  • Occasional build quality reports of side buttons feeling weak or 'popping' sounds from the main click shell
