The Spatha has been turning heads since it was unveiled at Computex last year and it is easy to see why. It is a large, wired/wireless mouse based on a magnesium alloy frame that features a total of 12 programmable buttons, of which the 6 side buttons are arranged in a way that represents the ROG eye logo. To finish of the final aesthetic, there is a 3 zone customisable RGB lighting system.

Under the hood, the Spatha is powered by the Pixart ADNS - 9800 sensor that is made for high grade wired/wireless gaming mice. Casting their wizardry, ASUS have aimed to ensure a super responsive experience by enabling a 1000hz refresh rate wirelessly and a staggering 2000hz (0.5ms) refresh rate for the ultimate performance over a wired connection. Looking deeper into its specification we find that the mouse wheel uses an Alps encoder while the side buttons use Alps switches that provide a tactile feedback. The main mouse clicks use the renowned Japanese made Omron switches that are rated for 20million clicks and should you need to replace them, ASUS have made things easier by seating them in sockets and have included an extra pair of Omron switches.
