Review of the ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse in the UAE

Published

on

The ASUS ROG Spatha X is a wireless gaming mouse that exudes a unique gamer-inspired design. Its body, made of matte black plastic, showcases striking angular lines and vibrant RGB lighting zones. Designed for right-handed users, the mouse features a comfortable shape with dedicated rests for the thumb and pinky. It is equipped with a six-button side button cluster and two extra buttons conveniently placed on the left side of the left-click button.

For connectivity, the mouse offers two options. You can connect it via a wired connection using its charging cable, or you can opt for a wireless connection through its stand-up charging dock, which doubles as a receiver. The mouse delivers an exceptional performance with minimal click latency and a reliable sensor. Additionally, you have precise control over the CPI (counts per inch) settings, adjustable in increments of 50 across a wide range. While its lift-off distance is relatively low, it may not match the ultra-low levels found in some gaming mice.

The ROG Spatha X is undoubtedly a standout gaming mouse with its unique and feature-rich design. Its large-scale and button-laden layout may require some adjustment, but if you prefer a larger mouse for gaming and don’t mind the added weight, this mouse can provide a fulfilling experience.

One major advantage we appreciate is the user-friendly charging dock, which adds significant value to the overall package. All things considered, this mouse is commendable, although it leans towards the heavier side, which may not align with our personal preference.

In addition to the carry pouch, the Spatha X package includes several other items. It consists of a charging base that comes in two parts: a stand and a magnetic charging pad, ensuring the mouse stays securely in place. ASUS has also included ROC Micro Switches, known for their impressive 70 million click lifespan. To facilitate switch replacement if necessary, a screwdriver-like tool is provided, allowing you to disassemble the Spatha X.

Lastly, there are two USB cables included: one for connecting the charging base or Wi-Fi dock and the other for directly plugging the mouse into a device and using it as a wired mouse. The ASUS ROG Spatha X is an excellent wireless gaming mouse, serving as an updated version of the original ASUS ROG Spatha launched in 2016. While it may not offer as many side buttons as certain MMO gaming mice, its button layout remains versatile enough to cater to various gaming genres.

Similar to other ASUS mice, this device features push-fit switch sockets for its left and right-click buttons, enabling you to customise the switches to your liking or replace them as needed over time. With its ergonomic design, the mouse offers a comfortable experience for both palm and claw grip styles.

The Spatha X is equipped with an advanced 19,000 DPI optical sensor, boasting a maximum speed of 400 IPS (inches per second) and acceleration of 50G. This powerful combination plays a crucial role in delivering exceptional accuracy, ensuring minimal input lag, and providing instant response to your mouse movements.

Additionally, the mouse features conveniently placed power and pair buttons, allowing for easy setup and activation. You’ll notice two small golden pads located above the power button, serving as charging points. When these pads come in contact with the base, they initiate the battery charging process, ensuring the Spatha X is ready for your next gaming session or battle.

I am generally fond of mice with multiple buttons as they provide ample flexibility for adding controls, customising setups, and accessing additional buttons while playing various games. Admittedly, the experience may require some time to adapt to, but with sufficient use, you should become comfortable with it.

Moreover, there are several aspects to appreciate about this mouse. Even the DPI switching, which allows you to adjust sensitivity in dots per inch for different tasks, can be easily accomplished using the button located behind the mouse wheel or in conjunction with the wheel itself. This convenient setup provides seamless control over sensitivity adjustments, enhancing your overall user experience.

Undoubtedly, one of the standout features of the Spatha X is its impressive charging dock. Not only does it serve as a convenient storage spot for your mouse when not in use, but it also acts as a reliable signal transmitter. This ensures a strong and stable 2.4GHz wireless connection, guaranteeing minimal latency during gaming sessions.

What’s even more noteworthy is that the dock takes care of charging your mouse. Thanks to its magnetic design, you only need to bring the mouse within proximity, and it will effortlessly snap into place, securely held by the charging dock. This hassle-free charging mechanism adds to the overall convenience and ease of use offered by the Spatha X.

The Spatha X is specifically designed for those who demand optimal performance from their mouse. ASUS has meticulously considered every aspect, and it’s evident they have done an impressive job. This mouse offers an abundance of programmable buttons, vibrant RGB lighting, and a magnetic charging stand that efficiently saves desk space while charging. These are just a few of the remarkable features that the Spatha X brings to the table.

Not only does this mouse excel in functionality, but its overall build quality is exceptional. It is far from being a cheap and fragile device, as it proves to be durable and reliable even in the heat of intense battles. Every detail has been taken into account, including the matching pattern used on the grip areas, demonstrating ASUS’s attention to detail. Moreover, the finger placements are thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort during prolonged use. With its outstanding features and meticulous design, the Spatha X is truly a top-tier mouse.

Price: AED 600 approx.
