Trade-offs
- Left-handed players — the asymmetrical shape is designed for right-hand use only.
- Wireless-only setups — this mouse requires a USB connection and cannot operate without the cable.
- Portable or travel gaming — the 2-metre cable and 79-gram weight make it less convenient for on-the-go play.
- Casual or productivity work — the 19,000–26,000 DPI range is optimised for gaming and may overshoot in office tasks.

Offering a range of 100 – 26,000 dpi (with class-leading 1% deviation), Gladius III tracks flawlessly at up to 400 inches per second at 50 g acceleration. A 1000 Hz polling rate in both 2.4 GHz and wired modes offers lag-free response for instantaneous control. ROG Gladius III features 19,000 dpi optical sensor that is specially tuned to 26,000 dpi.
ROG Gladius III has a unique pivoted button design with zero gap between the mouse button and switch to ensure instantaneous actuation. In addition, tuned firmware filters out unintended mouse clicks for both mechanical and optical micro switches to give gamers an edge in competitive gaming.
