Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

Why exactly Asus? For a long time I made a choice of a mouse according to various criteria, but it was this manufacturer that always pleased me in terms of drivers and software, I had no problems with their devices before, at least in the world of computer components, I did not use gaming peripherals from this manufacturer before - my first experience and it is clearly positive. Everything is available on the site, each of their products is supported for a long time and the problems indicated by users are fixed, i. E. the manufacturer accepts feedback from customers and takes into account their mistakes, which is important. In addition, it was the appearance of the mouse and its shape that attracted me. I looked at many reviews, but did not find anything critical in the shortcomings that were described. Each mouse has its own nuances in use. I am definitely satisfied with the purchase and I advise you, ASUS ROG Gladius II Core fully justifies its cost with the quality of the materials used, the performance of the mouse and the implementation of the software. With regards to reliability - time will tell, in any case, it will not be difficult to replace the microswitches in the future, with proper handling - the mouse should last a long time.

Pros

1) This mouse immediately fell into the hand, got used to it no more than 10 minutes after the CM310 (palm grip, also suitable for the "claw"); 2) Armory Crate software - everything is as simple and convenient as possible to use (it is possible to create and edit settings profiles, synchronize the device, change the backlight, create macros, change button assignments, set settings profiles for games that are on the PC, get fresh ate the mouse firmware, set the frequency of polling and button response, adjust DPI modes, change the binding angle); 3) Finally, no rubber on the sides, only small notches - while the mouse does not fly out during sharp strafes; 4) The coating is pleasant, not easily soiled by itself, prints do not remain; 5) Backlight in the theme - minimalistic, has flexible settings, you can also set the brightness of the LEDs; 6) 4 DPI modes with customization (set 200, 400, 600, 800); 7) New drivers from May 2022, active support; 8) The sensor does not break, the separation height is optimal - suitable for playing CS: GO, PUBG; 9) Clicks of this mouse are a thrill, they are pleasant tactilely and audibly, but for some they may seem quite loud (especially at night), here it’s not for everyone - I’m personally satisfied; 10) You can always change the microswitches if they fail without replacing the mouse; disassembly of the device occurs without opening the Teflon legs, the screws are hidden behind rubber plugs; 11) Cut-offs on the wheel are clear, when scrolling clockwise it is quite quiet (towards you), counterclockwise (away from you) - noticeably louder; 12) The location of the Teflon feet, their shape, the speed of movement of the device on the carpet - no complaints, suitable for both Control and Speed coatings; 13) The cable is long (about 2 meters), in a fabric braid, there is protection against bending. 14) It is worth noting the design of the mouse - do not find fault.

Cons

Minor but worth mentioning: 1) Bounce of the side keys when moving the mouse; 2) The cable is rigid, a holder is required; 3) There may be problems with the initial understanding of what software to install from the official site, install Armory Crate right away (do not forget to check the OS bit before installing the software).
