Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW610M
ASUS ROG Chakram
The ASUS ROG Chakram is a better FPS gaming mouse than the Dell Alienware AW610M, but the Alienware is likely a better option if you have small hands and use a palm grip. The ASUS has smoother-gliding feet, more programmable buttons, and its software lets you set multiple profiles. It also has a unique, programmable joystick on its left side. It offers more customization, letting you swap out the click switches and customize the RGB logo with your own design.
