Packaging

Aside from the mouse, one finds two Omron 5-pin optical switches (D2FP-FN), a set of replacement mouse feet, tweezers, quick start guide, warranty guide, and stickers in the box.

Weight

My scale shows around 76 g (+/- 1 g), which is even less than the 79 g cited by ASUS. The Gladius III is a large mouse, so achieving this weight without resorting to externally visible holes is commendable. For comparison, the similarly-sized Corsair Sabre RGB Pro isn't much lighter at 72 g.

Cable

The Gladius III comes with a paracord-like, braided cable. It's remarkably soft, and its flexibility is easily on par with the likes of the Endgame Gear XM1r or Cooler Master MM711. Its measured length is 2 m.

Feet

The feet on the Gladius III are pure PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. Glide is very good. The ring around the sensor ensures CPI stays consistent upon applying vertical pressure. ASUS includes a set of replacement feet in the box, which is always very handy.
