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. Like its major rivals, Asus offers its own custom-built software: ROG Armoury. It’s Windows-only, and you’ll need to be running at least Windows 7, right the way up to Windows 10.
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. 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. 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) For an MMO, the Spatha is in its element. The bonus buttons are useful for binding ability hotkeys, and the heavy size is less of an issue. It’s still trumped by mega-button offerings such as the Razer Naga, but it remains decent enough. You’ll find similar competency from the Spatha with RPGs and action-adventure titles.They’re laid out in the shape of the ROG eye logo, meaning they’re different shapes. This is the ultimate double-edged sword. On the one hand, the variety of shapes make it reasonably easy to discern which button is which. On the other, it means that some of the buttons are hard to hit, because they’re too small or in a weird place. Unfortunately, the stand isn’t weighted enough, which means that when you try to pull the mouse away, it isn’t a clean detachment. About 70% of the time, you’ll end up dragging the platform around the mouse trying to prise it off, until you’re forced to use your second hand to pull it free. It’s frustrating. 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 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. A highly tuned 19,000 dpi optical sensor delivers unrivaled accuracy to give you the precision needed to take down opponents.
Battery life (I had it running for quite a few days before its battery got low. compared to my corsair one which usually lasted around a day. You can also configure the app to let the mouse's lights start flashing whenever the battery gets low to notify you.) You’ll also be forced to drop the polling rate in wireless mode. Polling rate is the number of times per second that the mouse reports its location to the computer, and it’s measured in Hertz (Hz). Asus managed an impressively high 2,000Hz polling rate in wired mode, which is offered by very few gaming mice. 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. For gamers, the most interesting keys are those on the left side of the mouse. You’ll want to map these for various commands, which is a must for MMO gamers. Mein einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Hantlichkeit und Größe der Maus, gemeinsam mit dem doch etwas höheren Gewicht. Dadurch kann es manchmal passieren, dass die Maus beim anheben aus der Hand rutscht.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. 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. 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.
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. Tests performed with Aura lighting and Battery Notification mode turned off. Battery life may vary in real-world conditions.You can also create up to five profiles, each with different settings. You can switch between these on the fly through key commands. Better still, the profiles are stored on the Spatha’s built-in flash memory, so you can take your profiles with you on the go. 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.)
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.USB C (my previous corsair mouse had micro USB so having USB C is definitely an upgrade as well as having it charge while plugged in.)
Great Deal
