The Asus ROG Pugio: The quintessential ga
Recently we spoke about how a monitor with just the right amount of features can be used by both gamers and non-gamers alike. Today, we’ll be looking at another somewhat overlooked PC component; the mouse. More specifically, the ASUS ROG Pugio Gaming Mouse. Even after being in the market for almost a year, ROG Pugio stays up with the other big names in gaming peripherals.
In comparison to a regular mouse, for gaming it usually packs a lot more features into its hardware. This includes a better build quality, higher quality components such as switches and the sensor, as well as a touch of flash (sometimes literally), with illuminated lighting. The ROG Pugio has all of this, and more.
For starters, let’s take a look at the packaging, both inside and out. The mouse ships in a medium- sized box illustrated with all its features and specifications. A flap in front allows you to take a look at the mouse while still in its packaging and gives you access to even more reading material.
Opening the packaging gives you access to a plethora of goodies inside. For starters, you get the ROG Pugio mouse itself. Leaving that aside, you also get a ROG pouch to safely transport your mouse. There’s also a ROG case badge for you to paste on your PC/Laptop or anywhere you want to. But that’s not all. You also get 2 Japanese-made Omron switches and2 side button covers.
The first thing you notice about the ROG Pugio is that it has a powerful, ferocious vibe. If you’re a gamer, you would know what a gaming mouse looks like. If you’re not a gamer and you look at the ROG Pugio, you will definitely notice that it doesn’t look like your average mouse.
Weighing in at just around 103g, the Pugio is light enough for some fast-paced FPS games but also has enough weight to not slip all over your mouse mat or surface. It has stealthy lines complemented by some stealthy lighting to match. The beauty of the ROG Pugio is that the shape is ambidextrous. This means that it can be used either by a right or a left hander. The sides of the ROG Pugio are also made of rubber, increasing comfort and allowing you to grip the mouse more firmly.
