Design and technical specifications
When you pick up the ASUS ROG Spatha X for the first time, the sensation is that of finding yourself in front of something characterized by a very great build quality, a solid and well made product. An important mouse, both in terms of size and weight (we are talking about 137 x 45 x 89 mm, for 168 g), and in terms of functionality. In fact, in the ASUS device there are 12 different keys, two of which are positioned to the side of the left click and six on the left side, composing with their arrangement a pattern that recalls the eye that acts as a symbol of the ROG brand. of the famous Taiwanese company.

User experience
As usual during our weeks in the company of the ASUS ROG Spatha X we tested the device both during everyday operations, alternating between Excel sheets, browsers and so on, and during long gaming sessions. The impressions following these tests have certainly been positive, with the remarkable technical characteristics of the mouse that have fulfilled their promises, giving us a solid experience seasoned with almost no failures.if ( jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_hardware_d_mh3_1").
With the exception of these situations in which the sumptuous features of the ASUS ROG Spatha X are of great help, it is in any case correct to speak of the proposal of the Taiwanese house as a product dedicated to a niche, however expanded. The considerable dimensions, both space and weight, make it a product not suitable for the mass, which very often does not need such a large number of buttons available and looks for something more compact and light. In case you need it instead and are comfortable with a generously sized mouse, be sure that the ASUS ROG Spatha X will not betray your expectations.
Il ASUS proprietary software in this case offers a complete package of features, starting from the customization of individual commands and related macros, up to the inevitable RGB lighting, which in the Spatha X is present in the front ROG symbol, in the wheel and around the six side buttons. The package is completed by the possibility to modify the four preset DPI levels, to set the polling rate between 125 Hz and 1000 Hz and also a series of possibilities related to the power supply, see the suspension of the device after a given period of inactivity, and the lifting distance calibration. A package therefore extremely complete and intuitive to use, which is unlikely to disappoint anyone.
To report is only an excessive predisposition of the software to various updates, with Armory Crate that often will ask you to update something preventing you from normal program operation until you do it. .
