It also has a lot of buttons that can be programmed to help you navigate through your desktop or work software quickly. Unfortunately, this is a very large mouse and isn't recommended for people with smaller hands.

The ASUS ROG Spatha is a decent mouse for FPS games. While it has low click latency and a fairly wide customizable CPI range, it's very heavy, which may not be great for FPS games. On the upside, it's quite comfortable and feels very well-built, so it should be able to withstand long gaming marathons. Unfortunately, this is a very large mouse and isn't recommended for people with smaller hands.

The ASUS ROG Spatha is a great MMO mouse. While it may not have as many programmable side buttons as some other MMO mice, they're laid out in a way that's easy to press, and will likely be easier to keep track of. This mouse is also comfortable enough for long campaigns, though it's not recommended for people with small hands due to its large size.

This isn't a good ultra-light gaming mouse. This is one of the heaviest mice that we've tested and isn't recommended if you prefer very lightweight mice.

This mouse is okay for travel. While it comes with a carrying case, this mouse is very large and uses a charging base as its USB receiver. This makes it difficult to use in smaller spaces, like on a plane, though you can use it wired with a micro-USB cable as well.

The ASUS ROG Spatha is a great gaming mouse that sets itself apart thanks to its futuristic design and large shape. It has a lot of side buttons, which are oddly shaped but fairly easy to use. On the upside, it's an amazing mouse for larger hands and it's also one of the better-built gaming mice we've tested. For other options, check out our recommendations for the best mouse, the best MMO mouse, and the best gaming mouse.
The ASUS ROG Spatha and the ASUS ROG Chakram are both decent FPS gaming mice. The Spatha has a wide CPI range that can be adjusted more precisely, and its sensor is much more consistent. It also has more programmable buttons, and you can set a profile switching button. On the other hand, the Chakram offers a unique design that lets you swap out the click switches and customize the RGB logo with your own design. Also, the Chakram is significantly lighter and a bit smaller.
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.
