I think thumbsticks on mice are great forplaying a game in a more chilled way and awesome for accessibility for disabled gamers. Though sadly every company that makes a mouse with a joystick build in, only make a right handed model. Meaning the potential accessibility limited .
This will be my first non MMO mouse for years, so I will hope that I can do a couple of my binds to the stick but I think it will take a while ot get use to
Oh yeah, that's honestly one of the only reasons I'm willing to shell out over $200 for a mouse in Canada. There's so few good wireless/wired mice that utilize USB-C. Which is a damn shame, because if I'm flying on a plane, USB-C is much easier to justify shoving into my backpack. One for the laptop, one for my phone (Which can be swapped to plugin/charge my mouse, headphones, really whatever now adays). And gaming on a flight? Pick some games that you can play on your iGPU and enjoy being able to game, and charge via ONLY USB-C.
but Logitech? nope, see their top of the line low profile mechanical keyboard 915 that still uses the ancient micro usb rather than the standard type c that costs a freaking 250 usd
You're better off buying a Xbox 1 controller for 45 quid and a decent mouse for 50 quid=95 quid, 150 quid for a mouse is stupid.A Xbox 1 controller has much better compatibility for all games . That daft little knob ain't worth it.
Why is there no mention of the battery life without and with the rgb lighting? Such an important feature for a wireless mouse and you didn't mention a single thing about it...
This mouse + Wootingtwo seems like a pretty dream macro team. The mouse you can assign the most necessary macros, whereas the analog input of the wootingtwo allows you to keybind multiple actions to a single button press. Ability/Skill based MMO's are about to get a lot easier if you can fork over $500CAD total for a mouse and keyboard. Just wish Wooting had a wireless variant, but I'll settle for a USB-C cable
£150 wireless mouse who's only real selling point compared to the competition is a joystick and some changeable omron switches. It's a real shame they decided to make changing the dpi on the fly as hard as possible. Logitech G903 is a much better mouse for less money AND it can be used by both left or right handers.
thanx for ur excelent video was so helpfull to configure the settings and all the other stuff ty so much keep up the good work :D merry christmas from denmark
I'm in the process of transitioning to mouse and keyboard after being a controller player for 20+ years and I think this may be a good bridge between the two. I'm really struggling to get used to mashing keys on a keyboard.
Most games you can use a controller and m&k at the same time. Right hand mouse, left hand controller. I use this method at times for fps. Helps to elevate your wrist a tad. That way the right side of the controller is setting on the desk, and your wrist isn't carrying an awkward weight.
If you're still interested in a keyboard that might help bridge that gap you should look into the Wootingone/two. The keyboard has an analog input system similar to the joystick on this mouse, allowing you to apply different variable pressure points to the keys for similar input as that of a controller. Might be a little over the top in terms of features though.
I actually think this will be my next mouse. I currently have a 18€ one which works awfully but still works. I hope it stops working soon so I can upgrade.
Excellent review! Very thorough. Agree with you about the rubber grip. But I'll know more when it arrives I can only seem to find it on asus's online store and they kind of made me jump through hoops to get it. The price not to be boastful is not relevant to me and I wanted something with a joystick QI charging and of course admittedly a Rog fanboy or fan old man. Again excellent review can't wait till it gets here. It's going to go very well with my Rog themed build.
"Sprung loaded"? It was mentioned twice, so obviously it was intentional. Is this something that's being said now? I've lived in England & North America, never heard it before; it's always been "spring loaded" 🤷🏻♂️ Other than that, good review 👍🏻
Just about every mouse uses a spring loaded mechanism, some companies have tried out different methods and have completely axed it, but I guess ASUS wants to outline that they're utilizing a custom solution but retained the spring? Honestly I'm not sure why it's being used in marketing, my grandma's orange-white mouse from the early 90's uses a spring loaded mechanism as well so it's not like it's a groundbreaking discovery or anything. Seems other companies also use it as a selling point ie; Logitech G703 & G903 both advertise: "Mechanical button tensioning uses metal springs to help keep the left and right mouse buttons primed to click, reducing the force needed. Combined with individual left and right buttons, it enhances the consistency and delivers exceptional click feel and response."
Chakram is a word from Indian languages. Bcoz there r too many similarities in those Languages. The word 'chakram' refers to 'wheel' in Malayalam language which is on of the official languages of India and the main Language of Kerala (southern state of India). And I was really surprised to see the word Chakram used by Asus for their gaming product. As I'm first to this channel I also noticed that the name of this channel consists another Indian language. ' GURU' which means master, teacher or mentor.
I bought the wired version of chakram and the scroll wheel only scrolls the screen down no matter what direction I scroll the wheel up or down. The screen just continues to scroll down... why is that. Am I missing a setting?
So if your game doesn't come / run through steam the analog joystick is useless / not usable? It would seem Asus would have been better off creating a USB joystick device (via drivers) for the analog joystick so it was compatible in all games.
@@asw1546we My G502 light speed is now in a bin. I tried taking it apart but it was basically designed to never be disassembled by an end user, the switches are also soldered to the motherboard anyway. I need a mouse with replaceable switches. Logitech is dead to me.
I've had this mouse for about a month. The mouse buttons became loose and creaky after only a week and makes it just feel bad to use. I wouldn't recommend this just from this one issue. The joystick is too far forward for my taste. And it is too stiff to comfortably use as a joystick, I just use it as a D-pad.
Please Help I have bought this mouse and I followed your instrustions perfectly and my manuel but steam cannot detect my asus mouse chakram i have placed it in profil 3 with the armoury crate reset the settings and i have tred pushing dpi and scroll wheel but still nothing! steam cannot detect my mouse anyone knows a fix please let me know
·Xamãn ah man really? I was so hyped about this. Why is there no mouse on the market with true 360 movement. How can you call it an analog joystick when they all re-asign WASD like wth lol.
the long and frankly dated "begin or use an intro" format of the video, and all of the ads in the video - i'm done here. the ads themselves wouldn't be as annoying if they were a few seconds less, but in combination with the intro it just screams shill and time wasting. i'm making a note of your channel name and i'll be sure to avoid it in the future. especially since this is a 2020 video, you can't use the excuse that it's "part of the times". opening intros that last more than 1 or 2 seconds is long gone save for people who aren't with the times.
I went to Asus online store. Logged in on my account click the tab to get a notification for when it is in stock about four hours later they sent me an email saying it was in stock and then I immediately bought it. Unless it was a coincidence. I'm not sure what they were doing with that. But I wanted it so bad I didn't mind jumping through one or two of the Hoops to get it. So to answer your question actually it's not easy to get Amazon doesn't have it at all. I usually like going only through Amazon because of crime and all that but going through the Asus online store was the only way I can find it.
Chah-Krumm Side note, i do not like the joystick right beside the two speed buttons it has across top edge It will force you to move or interact to use with this design. i think if they put it inside left button with a down press left click would be a monster of a gaming tool. Even moving it to right side under ring finger is a better option.
@@romanshatov5815 I would not think so, Track balls use a different programming design. They are made to be 360, as to where this is more like a stick on a console controller.
$229.99 from Memory Express. Still a lot to ask for, but it does offer a lot, especially when it's in my opinion the king of that $200-$250CAD price bracket right now.
My favorit mouse of all time was the "Rat MMO 7" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FCuw8pFNaAU.html It had a hatswitch just like this but it had some buttons as well, it was a brilliant piece of kit. They are not making it any more and that made me sad, ill have a look at this one if it could fill that space.
Nope, wireless and gaming shouldn't be in the same sentence!.. nice aesthetic, nice gimmick but not for me, I'll keep it Corsair! Out of interest is there a wired option? Gg, good vid!
Also, any plans to do a budget mouse shootout? So many cheap and decent mice out there, and yet many are over looked, would be great to see some comparison and playtest vids
Lol what, the gpro wireless and the razer viper wireless are amazing mice and were many peoples best mice from last year so what are you talking about. Not to mention the amount of pro players who use wireless mice now, its 2020 wireless and gaming go hand and hand as it should.
