Great build quality and overall feel, Precise tracking, customizable sensitivity, Omron switches provide a great tactile feel, Swappable switches and USB cables, Good software experience
Not ambidextrous
The Gladius is a well designed gaming mouse with a great feel, precise control, and plenty of options to customize the experience. The software works as designed and allows for precise adjustment of dpi sensitivity. This thing can be incredibly fast (up t...
Simple & Comfortable design, Replaceable switches, Two detachable USB cables & carrying case, 6400 DPI sensor
Can only switch between two DPI's on the fly
All of the buttons are very responsive and of course the two main buttons use OMRON switches that are rated for 20 million clicks. The two side buttons are advertised as ‘slide-to-press', which means that you can slide your slide your finger over them for...
Honestly they are both great mice and I've been a long term Deathadder user and fan. I've bought two over the years and would give the Deathadder a gold award. Having said all of this and compared the two I would still give the edge to the Gladius to wi...

Though it might a be a bit disingenuous to the Razer DeathAdder, ASUS settled upon an ergonomic mouse form that works very well. The Gladius is hardly the first mouse that embraces such a design and it is arguably the most optimized claw focused shape. It...
Great optical sensor, Perfect button placement, Modular Omron switches, Weight distribution is adequate
Expensive, – No weight customization, – No dim option for LEDs
I think someone at ASUS has taken down notes from the enthusiast mouse community. Clearly the Pixart 3988 along with the Avago 3090 and 3060 are probably the best sensors out there, even though they do not support super high DPI resolutions. ASUS' choice ...
Great ergonomics, Swappable microswitch socket, Impressive packaging, Exhaustive & easy to use software bundle, Exceptional interior buildquality;
Noname switches for left & right, Several grip issues;
I found myself increasingly liking ASUS' Gladius the more I used it.It's odd how this mouse manages to be unique, even though it looks and feels exceptionally familiar. Yea, it's an enthusiast piece of technology, matching the other ROG branded hardware. ...
Fancy software isn't all that the Gladius brings to the party, though, as most ASUS products come with some extra goodies in the box that show just how much thought has gone into their hardware...
Slightly awkward thumb rest, Lacks higher-end features
There are even more little goodies in the box, too. A padded carrying case makes the ROG Gladius much more attractive as a travelling laptop peripheral, and if you find the 2m braided USB cable too long for such a use, it can be quickly detached and repla...
What ASUS has done here with the ROG Gladius is something that will hopefully become a possibility within future iterations of upcoming products. Every aspect of customizability that the mouse offers is indeed interesting but it also feels limiting in som...

Nice ergonomics for a claw grip, – S3988 sensor is a winner overall, – Great switches all around, – Swappable cables and user upgradeable switches are awesome features to have, – Carry case is a nice bonus
Lift off height could ideally be lower, – Textured sides are still not amazingly grippy, – More colour choice for the lighting modes would be a very welcome addition, – Only having two DPI settings is not really ‘premium grade'
So, the Gladius had a fair amount to do to show me it deserves the price tag, what are my thoughts? Ergonomically if you use a claw grip or a palm grip with smaller hands I think you will find this mouse very comfortable. It has curves in all the right p...
