ASUS RoG PUGIO II Wireless Gaming Mouse Review | eTeknix

ASUS doesn't seem to release a lot of gaming peripherals each year, but when they do, they're pretty much always something amazing. Some of their big hitters from the last few years are still flagship products today. Take the STRIX Scope Keyboard, Gladius II Mouse, Spatha Wireless Mouse, and the Delta Headset. As you can see from those reviews, which I wrote, I do love a premium ASUS peripheral, and I'm sure you do too. It also means I'm pretty excited to see what the ASUS RoG PUGIO II Gaming Mouse has to offer! Equipped with 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth
