ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse – MMO/MOBA Design, 12 Programmable Buttons, Right-Handed, 168g, Dual-Mode (Wired/2.4GHz), 19K DPI, up to 67Hr Battery, Magnetic Charging Dock, PC/Mac Support

Great mouse with amazing battery life. Pros: Smooth and easy to use Wide enough for long fingers DPI button is inset so it doesn't get accidentally pressed The side buttons work amazingly well and are easy to get used to It can be charged on its dock or while playing via USB-C The RGB lighting isn't too crazy Cons: Charging dock takes up extra space on desk that a typical wireless mouse doesn't The back and forward buttons for browsing are on top to the left of the left mouse button which is unusual The side button layout is awkward at first coming from a MMO mouse plus there are only 6 vs the typical 8 Final verdict: I would not buy this at full price, but whenever it's on sale if you're looking for a somewhat unique mouse with some extra buttons it fits the bill well.

Would ideally rate it 4/5, but considering that we have few 'dependable' gaming mouse options and Asus has stepped in with a sturdy technical build I'm putting it at 5. Aside from the usual plus points shared with similar mice, few things I've noticed: Pros - Perhaps only mouse that I've used so far that work almost equally well on hard and cloth pads. It doesn't drag heavy on soft pads yet still has a sense of 'stickiness' for flicks. It also doesn't slip/scatter your aim on hard pads. - Bit heavy, but its a plus as the movements are smooth and actions feel more .. controlled. - 8khz polling. I turned this on only after a recent pc upgrade. On my earlier (quite old i7) machine the cpu couldn't handle it and caused fps drops. Have 0 such drops now, make sure to have a newish multicore cpu. - Extremely well build and polished well, no rubber surface that might peel off later. Cons - Everyone talks of it, and Armory Crate is.. famous. From now on I'll keep it on a backup laptop to customize settings which get saved to the mouse onboard memory anyway. - that teeny joystick by the thumb might be a + for some, I haven't found ways to apply it effectively. I removed it and had the shielded cap plugged in place. But AC still installs a 'virtual' mouse and keyboard on my pc, least one of which is because of the joystick I suspect. These don't cause any issues as such, but I don't have a preference for it. - No dpi switch button near mouse wheel, but I remapped the the wheel click for it. Neutral - 32k sensor. Might be useful for multi monitor setups I guess. I tried it for a bit, applying appropriate fractions to mouse sensitivity in Overwatch, but it felt similar to lower dpi and higher sens. Not knocking on this sensor in particular, have seen similar for other high dpi mice too - SteelSeries, Logitech, etc. If it lasts long enough without performance issues, I can see this one as a favorite.

I know people are like “this mouse is sooo heavy” its just the nerds. Who wanna complain about things. This mouse is overall the best mouse i have EVER had. Totally worth the upgrade from ROG Gladius 2 ive been rocking for years lol. This has programmable buttons. Responsive clicks. You can even replace them clicky mechanical keys very easily. And the mouse has a great surface too. If you have a good quality mouse pad. I dont think you would have any issue sliding the mouse around. Oh the battery. I literally TRIED HARD TO DRAIN IT. Played COD for like 14 hours straight. And then next day did some heavy gaming. Took me 3 DAYS to totally bring it to 20% 🙏. such an amazing mouse. Love it tho. Rgbs are also amazing. Different modes love it

Wanted to love this mouse so badly! I went back and forth on returning it for days because I love the charging dock, the response time, the price, the quality, battery life, and the large size of this mouse. It is extremely comfortable, but I have a few complaints that resulted in its return: - Not enough buttons. Most MMO mice have up to 12 programmable buttons as most MMO's have an action bar of that size. You'll find a few that have less like ESO though. Most MMO mice have a grid pattern for their side buttons whereas this one is asymmetrical with buttons located in other places which is great if you want that. Unfortunately the Corsair Darkstar MMO Mouse also has this but more buttons to work with which is what I needed. I sadly ended up going with that mouse as I needed more function over form. - Side buttons are super low quality. The buttons move around when you push them and they have a cheap, unsatisfying click to them. I could probably look past this if the mouse had enough buttons but can't in this case and is worth mentioning. - Although very minor, this mouse is only 1000Hz versus the 2000-8000Hz that competitors offer. In the grand scheme of things, that's not going to be very noticable and would take a hit on the battery. Overall this wouldn't have swayed my decision on keeping the mouse like the two former issues but also worth mentioning for those that might want to know.

The mouse is fantastic. Love it. Dongle storage, accurate, fast, easy to move. 5 stars for the mouse! I'm 100000000/10 SELLING the mouse. Armoury Crate, the software required to customize the mouse, else why would you buy a mouse with this many buttons, is the worst software I've ever used. I bought this mouse years ago and the software alone makes me want to switch. The updates over the years have been beyond terrible and I am now browsing for other mice. If Asus could make up their mind and stop changing the software, making me lose my profiles, destroying any links to recognize the app running and switch profiles accordingly, making me redownload the features of the software that was downloaded and working in the previous version, if the software didn't take forever to load or change something, I would buy another Asus mouse, even one of their gaming laptops. Their software is so bad I'm never buying another Asus product. My trust in Asus turned from admiring them getting ahead of other companies offering user replaceable switches to pure hatred after dealing with their software for years. Despite Logitech's shortcomings, discontinuing things I like and non-replaceable switches and more, I'll go over to them because at least their software works and works quickly. 2026-02-20 Update Software forced an update because it made my mouse stop working! Now all of my mouse profiles are gone. They also forced me to update my password by not letting me login or reuse it. Guess Asus had yet another password leak. If their software was as good as their hardware, then I could recommend them. Because their software is so bad, unreliable, I cannot give them even a star.

EDITED REVIEW: All the below text still holds true, but unfortunately I will have to update this from a 5-star to a 1-star because this mouse regularly loses connectivity to the base station. Regularly a couple times per day. Absolutely horrendous to have this happen while playing essentially any video game. Very unfortunate, as I otherwise love this mouse. The base station is like 6 inches away from the mouse and it just randomly loses connectivity for about five seconds. I've never had this happen with any other piece of wireless equipment. Some other reviewers say they've ran into the same issue. It is a regular thing, every day it happens. I didn't notice it at first because I wasn't gaming much (other obligations). But for the past week I've been gaming quite a lot and have grown to hate this mouse just because of this one glaring issue. Absolutely awful, this one factor nullifies all the great things about this mouse and makes it totally useless for gaming, unless you're willing to use a wired connection...but there's no reason to pay this much for a wired mouse. I've been a PC gamer for over 20 years. This is the best mouse I've ever used, but it's not suitable for every application. Strictly speaking I would say using this mouse is not suitable for FPS or other high speed games, you'll definitely want to go with something lighter. But for every other genre, this mouse is amazing, especially MMOs. Other mice in this style overdo it I think - too many buttons, for example. Putting 12 side buttons on a mouse makes those buttons really small. I always wanted a mouse like this, that had more than 3 side buttons, but not so many that the buttons themselves were tiny. I also really appreciate the way these buttons are aligned, it's very intuitive and made sense to me right away. It's a heavy mouse. Keep that in mind. The battery life also isn't that amazing, I have to recharge it every 5-7 days or so, but that's hardly a complaint. The only other real negative is the price, but honestly....you get what you pay for. Solid build quality. Highly customizable in the software, which is also easy to use (the LEDs can be very bright, so I shut most of them off). The only thing I wish ASUS would change in the software is allowing us to keybind F13-F24, or other non-existent keys, on the mouse. Basically as it works now you have to keybind to existing keys on your keyboard/mouse. I wish we had access to "dead" keys that aren't used for anything. Other than that, this thing is a tank, all the buttons including the scroll wheel feel solid, and it fills a niche I had been wanting for so long. I really hope ASUS continues making this mouse for a long time because I'm sure I'll buy another one in the far future. Shoot, I might buy another one now and just keep it boxed up in case I ever need it. That might seem excessive, but this mouse is literally the only one in its class. There is no other mouse designed like it, that I have seen, when it comes to the arrangement/size of the side buttons. It is perfect for me, and feels so comfortable. It is a game changer (pun intended). If the price doesn't deter you, and you don't play FPS, this mouse is the one. I can't recommend it enough.

Really good mouse, very responsive, lots of buttons, pairs with Signal RGB, very configurable through Armory Crate. You can even make perfiles and have them switch AUTOMATICALLY once you open an app.

Bought this to support a new build PC that primarily is based on ASUS components. This is replacing my older Logitech keyboard and mouse that has served me well for the past 5 years. After 2 weeks of driving the ASUS ROG Chakram X Origin Wireless Mouse I would rate it 3.5/5 (round down to 3 for ASUS not clearing stating product facts to public). Pros - Worked out of the box after a quick ID and reboot if you already had Armory Crate installed. - Despite what others say this is not a heavy mouse. - Even after a day of very heavy gaming and work with constant mouse use and having the RGB sync lighting on, the battery was still at 73% after 14 hours of hard use. - Syncs with my system Aura RGB seamlessly – not a struggle like with many other devices - Very well built expect it to outlast this new computer setup Cons along with facts that are available but are difficult to discover unless you dig through ASUS literature, FAQ, or talk to their tech support - Polling rate for the ASUS ROG Chakram X Origin Wireless Mouse is 8000Hz WHEN WIRED, 1000Hz WHEN USING RF (2.4 Gz), and 250Hz WHEN USING BLUETOOTH. This is being advertised as an 8000Hz wireless mouse when in fact it is a 1000Hz wireless mouse which is sufficient for most wireless gaming mouse needs, but it is not the higher end. - ASUS hardware (only talking keyboard and mouse) each requires their own SEPARATE USB receivers. I spent almost 3 hours trying to get my ASUS keyboard and mouse to work together on the same USB receiver before finding a note in obscure ASUS website that stated that this is not possible and that currently there is only one ASUS mouse that will work with SOME keyboards one a single USB receiver but with limited functions. So, if you are going the ASUS route you will expend two (2) USBs for KEYBOARD and MOUSE even if they are wireless. - I found the joystick to be just pretty much worthless. Tried functions in games, MS Excel, etc. and it always seemed to not work as desired. Overall, I probably would have gone a different route on the keyboard and mouse had I known what I know now.
