ASUS has attempted to pack as much customisation as it can into the new ROG Chakram X, including hot-swappable switches, three different joystick lengths, and support for Bluetooth, USB-C, and 2.4GHz wireless connections.
Each of the 11 buttons and the analog joystick are also programmable in the Armoury Crate software, so you can set them up to do exactly what you want.
On top of that, you get a 36,000 DPI optical sensor and an eye-watering 8,000Hz polling rate. However, not every one of these features is the most practical. For instance, most gamers generally won't use anything above 1,600 DPI, and it's difficult to imagine anyone who would set their DPI anywhere approaching the upper range of what the mouse supports.
In addition, not all games will see a benefit from the 8,000Hz polling rate. The higher polling rate also places a higher demand on the CPU, and there have been reports of stuttering in certain games. If you're lucky, some games like Valorant have already added support for it, so you'll need to check the specific game you play.
