ASUS ROG Spatha Rechargeable Wireless MMO Gaming Mouse with 12 Programmable Buttons, 8200DPI and Aura RGB - Black

Product Information

I've had to get used to this new style of gripping the mouse. It did cause my hand some slight pain and discomfort initially. But having used it for close to a month now I've gotten used to it and my hand feels comfortable with it now. You’ll also be forced to drop the polling rate in wireless mode. Polling rate is the number of times per second that the mouse reports its location to the computer, and it’s measured in Hertz (Hz). Asus managed an impressively high 2,000Hz polling rate in wired mode, which is offered by very few gaming mice. The Asus ROG Spatha is a bulky, cumbersome mouse with plenty of buttons. That puts it in a niche that won’t serve all gamers as well as other mice might, depending on your gaming style. Das Setup ist sehr einfach. Einfach das mitgelieferte USB-C Kabel entweder an die Maus oder die Aufladestation anschließen, und das wars. Pairing ist nicht extra notwendig.

The extremely flexible and lightweight ROG Paracord is designed to minimize snags and maximize movement. The raised port of ROG Spatha X provides space between the cable and tabletop or mousepad surface, minimizing cable drag and noise. Ultimately, although it is large, I feel it's the absence of an empty space on the left hand side of the mouse that makes this mouse slightly inferior to my previous corsair mouse. There’s plenty that I love about the Asus ROG Spatha. It’s comfortable – like a big old recliner that you could sit in for hours. It looks cool, and the side-lighting is appropriately fierce. Plus there’s plenty to play with in terms of hardware and software if you’re a tinkerer. For gamers, the most interesting keys are those on the left side of the mouse. You’ll want to map these for various commands, which is a must for MMO gamers.Tests performed with Aura lighting and Battery Notification mode turned off. Battery life may vary in real-world conditions.

ROG Aura RGB lighting is integrated into the logo, the scroll wheel and side buttons of ROG Spatha X. Lighting can be customized with a near-endless spectrum of colors and a range of dynamic effects. In addition, up to five profiles can be stored onboard, so your preferences travel with you. In this price range you’d expect an abundance of bonus features, and the Asus ROG Spatha doesn’t disappoint. There are extras aplenty, starting with lighting. The only other point worth noting is that Asus supplies the Spatha with two cables: a 1m cable and a 2m cable. You also have the option of wireless play, but more on that later. They’re laid out in the shape of the ROG eye logo, meaning they’re different shapes. This is the ultimate double-edged sword. On the one hand, the variety of shapes make it reasonably easy to discern which button is which. On the other, it means that some of the buttons are hard to hit, because they’re too small or in a weird place. Like its major rivals, Asus offers its own custom-built software: ROG Armoury. It’s Windows-only, and you’ll need to be running at least Windows 7, right the way up to Windows 10.You can also create up to five profiles, each with different settings. You can switch between these on the fly through key commands. Better still, the profiles are stored on the Spatha’s built-in flash memory, so you can take your profiles with you on the go. Magnetic Charging stand (Feels great not having to plug my mouse into any wires and just having it snap to the magnetic stand is satisfying. I put my charging stand flat on my table since it's easier to remove the mouse without moving the stand that way.) Das führen der Maus ist sehr genau, und auch Katzenhaare auf dem Mauspad scheinen die Genauigkeit nicht zu stören. Die Daumentasten sind mit einer eigenen Software Programmierbar, und sind gut zu erreichen. Battery life (I had it running for quite a few days before its battery got low. compared to my corsair one which usually lasted around a day. You can also configure the app to let the mouse's lights start flashing whenever the battery gets low to notify you.) Ich habe die Ladestation an einem USB-Switch angeschlossen um die Eingabe zwischen 2 Computern umschalten zu können, und das funktioniert auch im kabellosen Modus einwandfrei.
