Since opening its doors in 1989, the Taiwanese technology manufacturer ASUS has gone from strength to strength. From humble beginnings as a simple motherboard manufacturer they, like other Taiwan giants, have evolved to meet the demands of the ever growing IT industry.
Recently we have taken a look at a few ASUS peripherals but under the more mainstream Strix moniker. Today however I’ve got my hands (literally) on a full fat ROG peripheral, the ROG Gladius gaming mouse. The Gladius packs the Avago S3988 optical sensor (like the 2013 Razer Deathadder) and a right handed ergonomic design that looks very much like a Deathadder. You can’t blame ASUS or anyone, for wanting a piece of that pie but does the Gladius do enough to stand out in a crowded market? Let’s find out!

ASUS takes its name from Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek mythology that symbolizes wisdom and knowledge. ASUS embodies the strength, purity, and adventurous spirit of this fantastic creature, and soars to new heights with each new product it creates.
Taiwan’s Information Technology industry has grown enormously over the last few decades and the country is now a dominant force in the global market. ASUS has long been at the forefront of this growth and while the company started life as a humble motherboard manufacturer with just a handful of employees, it is now the leading technology company in Taiwan with over 12,500 employees worldwide. ASUS makes products in almost every area of Information Technology too, including PC components, peripherals, notebooks, tablets, servers and smartphones.
