TAIPEI, ASUS Republic of Gamers put the Gladius IV Ace on U.S. retail shelves as of Oct. 1, 2026, listing the wireless esports mouse at $169.99 through Best Buy and ROG channels.

At 56 grams in its base configuration, the Gladius IV Ace is light for its size. ASUS includes 3g, 5g, and 7g stackable weights that push the total as high as 71 grams across seven layouts, so players can bias the balance toward flick aim or a steadier palm. ROG’s AimPoint Pro sensor tops out at 65,000 DPI. Wired USB and RF 2.4 GHz both support 8,000 Hz report rates, with Bluetooth 6.0 available for lower-demand use. The kit packs a SpeedNova 8K Gen II receiver, a silicone receiver skin, a 2-meter ROG Paracord, a hard case, grip tape, PTFE feet, and a pick tool for weight changes.

Main clicks use ROG 100-million-click optical micro switches. Gear Link provides browser-based tuning without a full Windows install, though Absolute Geeks notes Gear Link expects a wired or 2.4 GHz link rather than Bluetooth. Dimensions are 127.5 x 67.7 x 44.15 mm. Absolute Geeks measured about 16 hours at maximum 8,000 Hz polling on a single charge, a figure that will stretch when polling is lowered.
