Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Spatha

ASUS ROG Spatha X

The ASUS ROG Spatha X is a newer, updated version of the ASUS ROG Spatha. The Spatha X is marginally lighter and has a more flexible charging cable with a USB-C connector, instead of the original Spatha's cable, which has a Micro-USB connector. It also has a much higher maximum CPI and much lower click latency. On the other hand, the original Spatha has a lower lift-off distance. It also has working onboard memory, while the onboard memory on the Spatha X didn't seem to work during our tests.
