Conclusion
...if you're a palm-grip user who favours larger mice, the Asus ROG Spatha has plenty going for it.In attempting to create an MMO gaming mouse that covers all bases, Asus has shoehorned an array of features and customisation options into the £140 Spatha.
Designed to tick a wide range of boxes, this premium mouse offers wired or wireless operating modes, a neat magnetic docking station, a rechargeable battery and more buttons than most users are ever likely to need. All this is presented in a tidy and well-made package, and through interchangeable click switches, tri-zone lighting and a well-stocked software utility there's no shortage of customisation options.
A jack of all trades, then? Well, not quite. Stocking Spatha with such an array of features has resulted in a larger-than-average mouse that tips the scales at almost 180g. Size and mass alone make this a somewhat niche solution, and we reckon Asus has missed a trick in not including height or weight adjustment.
On the other hand, if you're a palm-grip user who favours larger mice, the Asus ROG Spatha has plenty going for it. Performance from the 8,200dpi sensor is excellent, the bundle is exemplary, the metal charging dock elevates the entire package, and though there's a high price to pay, Spatha's feature set could be a perfect fit for some.
