The Gladius IV Ace is a right-handed ergonomic wireless mouse with a 56g body, a sensor rated to 65,000DPI, and a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz. Its design follows sports science, and included 3g, 5g and 7g weights raise the total as high as 71g across seven balance options. Communication uses ROG SpeedNova 8K Gen II, and the mouse supports NVIDIA Reflex. The Raikiri II Pro has hot-swappable TMR joysticks aimed at low drift and wear resistance, reaches 8,000Hz in both wired and 2.4GHz wireless connection to a PC, offers a full-color display for profile switching and settings, and lists up to 79 hours of battery life. Detachable rear buttons, replacement caps and dual-mode triggers adjust the feel.","whyItMatters":"The Gladius IV Ace's 56g to 71g range is a per-user weight tuning scheme, and both products share 8,000Hz polling, so ASUS is pushing the same latency number across mouse and controller rather than across the lineup.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBoth products land in the high-customizability bracket ASUS associates with ROG. The mouse supports Gear Link, a browser-based settings tool, while the controller takes replacement caps and detachable rear buttons for adjusting operation feel. The Raikiri II Pro\u0026#39;s display sits at hand level, so profile switching and various settings can be made without opening software on the PC.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raikiri II Pro\u0026#39;s analog sticks are TMR type and hot-swappable. ASUS positions them as resistant to wear and low in drift. Seven weight balances and the three included weights mean the Gladius IV Ace is not locked to its base figure. The mouse is offered as competition spec, and the source descriptions tie the 8,000Hz polling and NVIDIA Reflex support to players who want lower input latency in competitive FPS and versus games.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat the listings leave open is the fine print. Both pages point buyers to the individual product detail pages for full specifications and purchase information, and estimated prices are given rather than final retail figures. The two colors, black and white, apply to both products.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The ROG Gladius IV Ace ships at 56g but includes 3g, 5g and 7g weights, so its 71g heaviest setup is a deliberate tuning range rather than a lighter mouse.","twitterPost":"The ROG Gladius IV Ace is 56g stock with weights for 71g, treated as seven tuning setups rather than one light mouse.","threadsPost":"The ROG Raikiri II Pro's full-color display carries profile switching and settings, which moves configuration off software and puts it on the controller, changing who can adjust a profile mid-session.","newsletterBlurb":"ASUS JAPAN dated two ROG peripherals for October 30, 2026: the 56g Gladius IV Ace mouse at an estimated 26,080 yen and the Raikiri II Pro controller at 37,280 yen.
