NEWS Ambidextrous Mouse

Asus crafted an ambidextrous RGB mouse with swappable Omron switches.

The plight of the left-handed gamer is that peripheral makers tend to heavily favor their right-handed brethren. Every so often, an ambidextrous design emerges in the world of gaming mice, though according to Asus, they're mostly crap designs that often result in accidental button clicks. With that in mind, Asus and its ROG division just announced the Pugio, a better designed ambidextrous rodent.

​

As far as Asus is concerned, what makes the Pugio superior to other ambidextrous mice is the use of magnetic side buttons (though the same feature can be found on Logitech's G900).

Rather than accidentally clicking on a side button that you're not used to dealing with (or being distracted by them when they're disabled), you can remove the buttons on either side of the Pugio and replace them with covers. You can also choose between two or four buttons on either side.

The Asus ROG Pugio releases to retail today and costs $90.
