THE FIRST ROG PUGIO was a pretty standard affair, a wired gaming mouse with a 7,200dpi optical sensor, RGB lighting, and an ambidextrous design that allowed both left and right-handed users to enjoy an ergonomic mouse experience. It was a decent mouse, although it didn’t set the world on fire. Now, Asus is back with a new Republic of Gamers mouse, the ROG Pugio II, a wireless sequel to the original Pugio.
Now, calling this a wireless mouse is doing it something of a disservice. The Pugio II uses tri-mode connectivity, consisting of a 2.4GHz wireless USB dongle, Bluetooth 5.0, and wired connections using the included USB cable. The 2.4GHz connection means ultrafast wireless, with zero noticeable input latency in our tests.
The dongle in question can be concealed inside the mouse for portability, as the plastic rear cover of the mouse is held in place magnetically and can be easily lifted off. This also allows access to the screws that hold the two main buttons in place, because the Omron switches beneath can be swapped out (or replaced) using an included tool.
Externally, the design is clean and simple, with a symmetrical button layout that consists of two small buttons on either side of the mouse. These can be deactivated using the ROG Armory software, or removed entirely thanks to snap-off magnetic button caps, making it easy to avoid accidental clicks.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
