Good Replacement/Upgrade for Asus Gladius II Origin
See title, since 2019 I've daily driven an Asus Gladius 2 Origin wired mouse, and it has recently stopped working on me for reasons that appear to be hardware related, specifically the left click has stopped registering entirely. I've already swapped through one pair of switches last year and it doesn't seem to be an issue with that, and with the mouse's age it doesn't owe me anything anyway, so im looking for a replacement, ideally one that will last me a similarly long time.
I mainly do development and light gaming, but I'm not a competitive FPS player so don't need a ton of FPS specific optimizations
Below are some loose 'requirements', I don't expect there to be a single product which satisfies all of them but if different mice have different combinations of them then it's good info for comparison.
Things i liked about the gladius 2 origin:
- Ergonomic shape and feel, I use a right handed palm grip so it felt nice and comfy, I've found i don't like small mice that force a claw grip or make it so i have to slide my wrist across the desk
- fully separate buttons and switches made for good click feel
- Side buttons and DPI switch
- Replaceable mouse switches, gave it an extra 2 years of life after starting to double click
- similar accuracy and DPI ranges, not held up on specifics however
- little to no acceleration that i noticed
Additional things that would be nice to have in a new one:
- more modularity and ability to take apart and clean/replace components. The rubber side panels on the gladius became worn out and kind of gross overtime so something that i can remove and deep clean/resurface with tape would be great. Similar for allowing me to clean the scroll wheel
- optional wireless support, ideally a single mouse that I can either plug in directly or run off bluetooth/battery depending on circumstance
- optical or hybrid switches, for better reliability, if these are available i don't think switch swapping is needed either
Things i don't care about:
- Lighting or RGB
My tentative budget is under 120 CAD, but I'm flexible on this department and willing to go a bit over for something that will definitely last. My main brand related requirement is that I'd rather not buy from Razer, but if something from them really strongly fits these requirements I'll still consider it.
Thanks in advance
