Ok, Asus, I'll give you a cheat-sheet for changes to make on your next fleet of mice (you know since you neglected these changes this time):

- Weight: No one really cares about the quick-swap mouse switch crap if the technology required to make it happen ends up making the mouse weigh 110g. Same can be said about the chasis swap feature. We've been voiding warranties for years doing it ourselves. You should be thankful.

- Sensor: 3360 sensor. In everything. "EZ".

- "Sniper Button": These things are nothing but trouble. All mice would be better off without them. Just implement a DPI button if there's really people (gotta be extraterrestrials) out there that like changing their DPI/sensitivity on the fly. The absence of these tumors on mice also keep the weight down. Even if it's just by a little bit.

@asus

1- WEIGHT
2 - WEIGHT
3- WEIGHT

4- NO MORE 3310, those random spins are not cool.

The Evolve is kind of interesting but on the heavy side. I could be wrong but looks like that's a 3330 from the specs.

Might be a dumb question but is the 3330 better/worse than the 3310?

The quick switch swap feature is a 1g piece of plastic that negates the need for soldering. It's the best thing about these mice.

nothing is a dumb question not all people will now all about sensors.

The PWN 3330 is better then the 3310

Here is a small comparison:

PWN3310	PWN3330
framerate 6500	framerate 8000
max tracking speed 130 ips / 30g	max tracking speed 150 ips / 30g
max resolution 5000 dpi	max resolution 7200 dpi
Lens Magnification between 0.85 1 1.15	Lens magnification 1:1

the PWN3310 is the older sensor from pixart as for the lens used in the PWN3330 is probably more within specifications then the lens used with the 3310.

Thanks!

3330 uses the same lense as the 3360 not the 3310

edit: misread because the punctuation and grammar was so weird, sorry, yes

Y my bad, I am no native speaker and also my punctuation and writing can be off even in my own language :S

still nice fact to mention

It would have been easy to understand in speech, don't worry about it

Yep, it's an amazing feature.

 

[lemusz]

sica v1.0 3310
sica v2.0 still 3310

why? why Asus?! i would gladly change my sica to this new one with a 336* sensor, but you gave no reason at all.

They prolly said screw it after getting exposed.

Yeah...

 

[R4yn0r]

Why add a thumb button to the Gladius, they always mess with grip styles...

 

[dlano]

On the website the underside picture of the Gladius II shows a different feet design, and they look remarkably like intellimouse feet.

Wonder what the chances are of them being the same?

It's nice that they didn't put screws under the mouse feet this time, so that you don't need to remove mouse feet if you want to swap switches, but those new feet look way to small for a palmgrip mouse of that weight and size.
