## Description

ROG Gladius III features a 19,000 dpi optical sensor with 1% deviation (tuned to 26,000 dpi) for near-zero latency and unrivaled precision. Its ergonomic shape offers comfort for marathon gaming sessions, and a unique Push-Fit Switch Socket II design ensures compatibility with both mechanical and Omron optical micro switches. Finishing touches include a flexible ROG Paracord and round-edged 100% TPFE mouse feet for an ultra-smooth glide, plus laser-engraved ROG markings with RGB lighting on the textured, nonslip side panel. The classic asymmetrical design of Gladius III is well-suited to a variety of right-handed grip styles, providing comfort that lasts. It’s also 30% lighter than its predecessor, allowing for faster and smoother control. A high-end optical sensor delivers the accuracy and precision you need. 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 Series 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. The world’s first Push-Fit Switch Socket II design allows you to hot swap traditional 3-pin mechanical switches and the latest 5-pin Omron® optical micro switches. A strengthened socket reduces shaking to provide consistent button clicks. With switches varying in feel and characteristics, this innovative socket design gives you the flexibility to select the switch that best suits your play style. The new ROG Micro Switches feature a 70-million-click lifespan and a gold-plated electro-junction to improve durability. Strict ROG manufacturing standards ensure that each individual switch is inspected and sorted, pairing left and right switches to keep force deviation within +/- 5 gram-force for a consistent click feel.

Review: Upgrade from the OG gladius - Comparing this to the gladius 2 is not too bad. To see the material feel better and RGB lighting done better is nice, the feel material is also different and also feel nice on a mousepad. The mouse is lighter so it and feels nice in the hand. It's often compared to the deathadder by RAZR in size and look. The mouse is responsive and worked flawlessly with the software. Which is usually hit or miss for me, so that's a plus. I got the Gladius 3 in the wired configuration because it was a lot cheaper and i don't have to worry about charging. The wire is light and extremely flexible. As for use in gaming, the switches feel nice, very quick and satisfying to click. They come with replacement switches so that helps. My gladius 2 reached EoL after 5 years of heavy use, mainly due to the left click not always registering. Even after replacing the switch(purchased as a manufacturer refurb, so i knew there could be an issue down the line) Using the mouse on the full size ROG sheath, it's responsive and has no issues. Changing the lift off distance in the software helps fine tune the mouse to your habits, use case, and surface. While also adjusting the dpi. The sensor can go insanely high, for those who are insane. I keep mine between 600-800 like a normal person should when gaming. 20k plus as stated is cool and makes for an accurate mouse but i would never try it seriously in gaming. Overall, quality mouse for the $50 i payed for it. Has nice extras, features, and should last me a while before switch replacements.
Review: Great mouse. Easy setup - Nice mouse. Nice colors. Quick shopping. I enjoy it and it moves smoothly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mouse. Easy setup
*by B***0 on December 13, 2025*

Nice mouse. Nice colors. Quick shopping. I enjoy it and it moves smoothly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mouse, just not for people with large hands
*by P***S on September 26, 2021*

My Logitech mouse started double clicking and I wanted a high quality replacement, so I went with this one due to the ability to swap switches on a whim. As a custom mechanical keyboard enthusiast, this is a HUGE deal for me, as I enjoy tinkering with switches and being able to replace faulty ones without soldering. Ironically, I don't actually use this mouse for gaming since I use a controller to play RPGs. I simply wanted a high quality mouse with the ability to replace switches, and this was it. All of the sensor / LOD mumbo jumbo doesn't really matter to me, but it's nice to know that it's a good product under the hood. The software is fine for me. Setting my DPI / RGB up was easy and worked as intended. Best part is that you don't have to make an account for the software like Razer forces you to do. My only downside is that as someone with massive hands, this mouse feels a little small and lacking in the "pinky support" category. Some mice feel nice and thicc in the back but narrow towards the front, such as the Deathadder, and this one is like that. The actual clicks themselves are wide enough to rest your fingers on, but there is very little support for your pinky on the right side. As a result, I don't know if I'll be keeping the mouse, but I am still rating it five stars since it's a solid product with no gamebreaking issues as far as I can tell.
