Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless
ROCCAT Kone Pro Air
The ROCCAT Kone Pro Air and the ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless are comparable wireless gaming mice, but the ROCCAT performs slightly better overall. The ROCCAT is lighter and feels better built. Its charging cable is more flexible, and its mouse feet are larger and glide more smoothly. Also, while it has fewer total buttons, it has more programmable inputs, thanks to its Easy-Shift[+] feature that enables a second layer of commands. On the other hand, the ASUS has a receiver extender, and you can pair the mouse with up to three devices via Bluetooth, while the ROCCAT only allows one Bluetooth device.
