Specification and unboxing
Specifications and features
Some marketing info below:
“ROG Gladius III and ROG Gladius III Wireless are ergonomic gaming mice that are equipped with an optical sensor with 19,000 dpi (adjustable up to 26,000 dpi) for fast and precise input with almost no latency. Each model features the unique Push-Fit Switch Socket II design, compatible with both Omron mechanical and optical microswitches, allowing instant button actuation with no unwanted clicks. In addition, the flexible ROG paracord and the rounded edges of the 100% TPFE mouse feet ensure particularly good gliding properties. The classic asymmetrical design of these two gaming mice is ideal for a variety of right-handed grip styles. They also are structured. The ROG Gladius III Wireless offers tri-mode connectivity via ultra-fast 2.4 GHz RF connection, energy-efficient Bluetooth LE, or wired USB. It gives users the flexibility to choose the mode that best suits the situation. Bluetooth fast pairing technology enables users to switch between three devices with one press of the pair button. The high-end optical sensor of the ROG Gladius III series offers unrivaled accuracy and precision with a range of 100 - 26,000 dpi with an industry-leading deviation of 1%, giving mice an error-free scan at up to 400 inches per second (IPS) at 50 g acceleration. The optical sensor also offers a polling rate of 1000 Hz in both wireless and wired 2.4 GHz modes for delay-free reactions. Players can also save up to five profile settings on the onboard memory.
Mechanical switches use debouncing for button actuation, which usually leads to click latency. The Gladius III has a unique, inclined button design with no space between the mouse button and the switch to ensure instant actuation. In addition, coordinated firmware filters out unintentional mouse click for both mechanical and optical microswitches to give gamers an advantage in competitive games. The Push-Fit Switch Socket II design allows traditional 3-pin mechanical switches to be interchanged with the latest 5-pin optical microswitches from Omron®. Since the switches differ in their feel and properties, the innovative base design gives the user the flexibility to choose the switch that best suits their individual playing style. The reinforced base also reduces wobbling and ensures even key clicks. The ROG Gladius III has RGB-illuminated, laser-engraved ROG markings on the side and is equipped with the ROG Paracord and 100% PTFE rounded mouse feet to ensure fast and smooth gliding.”

ASUS ROG Thor 1000W Platinum II (1000W PSU) review
Today we’re putting the new Asus ROG THOR 1000W PLATINUM II power supply on our test bench. The company is not so much known from their PSUs (as they’re rather associated with the motherboards, graphic cards, monitors, or peripherals). Still, we had a chance to check the first Thor at the end of 2018, when the 1200W version was reviewed (priced 329 EUR/USD), earning the “Best Hardware” award. Will the new version be as successful?
