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

Product Information

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.

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.)Large/shape might feel awkward to use at first (Gets better as time goes on but ultimately this will be dependent on the person that uses it)

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. In fact, it’s probably more than is necessary for most users, since 500Hz is generally considered to be enough for accurate reporting. It’s also worth remembering that having a higher polling rate puts a greater load on your computer’s processor, so you might want to dial down the Spatha’s 2,000Hz a notch if you have a less powerful machine. When in wireless mode, you’ll get 1,000Hz polling – which is also very impressive, and far more practical than 2,000Hz. 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.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. 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. Despite its smooth, magnesium base, the Spatha feels like a chore to lug across even the most forgiving surfaces. There’s no reason why the Spatha should be so heavy when rival devices have managed to keep the weight down. 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. Where the Spatha is less impressive is with twitch gameplay. You want light, accurate mice for shooters and MOBAs, so the heavy Spatha isn’t ideal.

Once the screws are out, the top lifts off and you can take out the switches. The right switch comes out easily, but the left switch sits halfway beneath the side of the chassis, which makes it a real pain to work out. Regardless, the entire switch-swapping process took about four minutes the first time I tried it. With practice, I got this down to about a minute-and-a-half. 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 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. The price of the Asus ROG Spatha puts it at the very top end of the market, which means it simply can’t afford not to be perfect. It’s not perfect. Verdict

Ich habe Jahrelang Mäuse von Mad Catz im unteren Preissegment verwendet, bin jetzt aber auf diese doch etwas teurere Maus umgestiegen. Insgesamt bin ich mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. 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 little to discuss when it comes to the Asus software. It’s very good, and on a par with rival systems. Top marks. Asus ROG Spatha – Performance Not surprisingly, the Asus ROG Spatha is also quite heavy, weighing in at 179g. That’s far more than its biggest wireless rivals, the Razer Mamba (125g) and the Logitech G900 (107g). In my opinion, the Spatha is simply too heavy to use comfortably.
