ASUS ROG Launches ROG Gladius II Origin Mouse

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that the ROG Gladius II Origin optical gaming mouse is now available in North America. Gladius II Origin is the third model in the Gladius Series and provides gamers with an ergonomic design to suit various grip styles. 

It features the highly regarded Pixart PMW3360 sensor with 12,000 dpi to ensure that all mouse movements are accurately translated into precise cursor actions. Uniquely designed rubber side panels on both sides of the mouse offer enhanced control during glide and lift actions.

ROG Gladius II Origin features an exclusive push-fit switch socket design that allows gamers to easily change switches in order to suit preferred click resistance and feedback. This feature also extends the lifespan of the mouse because worn or broken switches can simply be replaced. With pre-installed Omron switches rated up to 50 million clicks, and with an extra pair Omron switches for different click resistance, ROG Gladius II Origin offers customization options to suit the needs of any gamer.

• Advanced 12000 DPI optical sensor for fast and precise tracking
• ROG exclusive push-fit switch socket design to vary click resistance and extend the lifespan of the mouse
• Customizable Aura RGB lighting with Aura Sync support
• DPI switch for on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment
• Omron switches with 50-million-click durability, plus two extra Japanese-made Omron switches with a different click resistance
• Detachable cable design and ROG pouch for portability and storage
• Intuitive ROG Armoury interface for easy customization of buttons, performance and lighting settings

ROG Gladius II Origin also features left and right mouse buttons that are separate from the body chassis, reducing the force required to initiate each click while delivering a more tactile feedback. Additionally, a DPI switch allows for on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments, and an Alps scroll wheel encoder provides crisp scrolling action.

ROG Gladius II Origin arrives with a detachable-cable design and includes two cable types, as well as a padded ROG pouch for protection and convenience. The additional cable eliminates the need to unplug the main cable from the computer, so gamers can simply put their mouse in the pouch and go.

With three lighting zones, ROG Gladius II Origin lets gamers customize color and lighting effects, and also synchronize the lighting of the mouse with other Aura Sync-enabled devices for a coordinated gaming setup. Additionally, gamers can use the intuitive ROG Armoury software to customize lighting effects, adjust performance and surface calibration settings, program and map buttons, create profiles and more.

ROG Gladius II Origin is available now at Amazon and other leading resellers at an MSRP of $99.99.
