So ROG have made a very high end mouse focused on the FPS crowd. It’s a great mouse in isolation. But reviews in isolation are boring and it’s natural competition is Razer’s Deathadder Chroma which sells for a similar price to the Gladius. Let’s directly compare the two:
They both have similar shapes, weights and similar Omron switches, so that part is a wash.
Gladius Pro’s:
– Removable latched usb cable
– Socketed switches for easy replacement
– Mouse settings written to firmware in the mouse
– 2000 Hz polling vs 1000 Hz
– One more button that by default is set to change dpi
Deathadder Chroma Pro’s
– 10000 dpi vs 6400dpi
– customizable RGB lighting
– heatmaps in software
– Buttons can be assigned to keyboard functions
Verdict – Gold Award
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 win this “mouse-off” based on it’s extra functionality such as the detachable cable, the socketed omron switches and the on board firmware to save the mouse’s configuration. This really as close to perfection as you can currently get in a mouse.
