Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless

ASUS ROG Keris

The ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless is a great wireless gaming model, while the ASUS ROG Keris is an excellent wired-only gaming mouse. You can use the Gladius III Wireless via Bluetooth or its USB receiver, but you can also use it wired with its charging cable. It has a lower lift-off distance and a more precisely adjustable CPI within a wider range. Comparatively, the Keris is much lighter, and it has lower click latency. Also, its mouse feet glide a bit smoother on desks and mousepads.
