Design
The translucent upper cover texture and hazy black silk temperament of the ASUS ROG Chakram X are carried over.
The mold’s size and shape have remained essentially unchanged, and it still has the ergonomic plump figure of the right hand.
The button seams are joined by side stripes and an engraved ROG logo.
The mold’s size and shape have remained essentially unchanged, and it still has the ergonomic plump figure of the right hand.
The thumb rocker remains the most prominent feature on the side.
If you hold a ROG Chakram, you will notice that the most noticeable difference in the appearance of the ASUS ROG Chakram X is the increase in the side buttons.
At the bottom are white foot stickers, evenly distributed and medium in size.
The tail and head chassis are dark grey, as opposed to the black of the other parts. The front face’s twill grille decoration, the interlayer headlight strip, and the TypeC port remain unchanged. This port is still not picky about wires, and non-original wires can be plugged in as well.
The thumb side retains a significant amount of height; the rocker position is guaranteed, and the finger rest is worry-free. The number of side buttons has been increased to four, which is also a clear distinction between the ASUS ROG Chakram X and the regular magic blade.
The most interesting part of the ASUS ROG Chakram X is its detachable design, which includes the entire upper cover, the back panel, and the left and right buttons, all without screws, using a complete snap and magnetic suction method. This type of gameplay is not unique to the ROG Chakram X, but it is present in the majority of previous products. The shell is loose and shaking, but the magic blade has achieved the rapidity of the magnetic attraction and the structural stability without interfering with each other, so it is relatively successful.

The ASUS ROG Chakram X mouse is impressive. It has a translucent shell, a pivot button, a thumb rocker, and ergonomics for the right hand that are rare at the moment. It can also be used wirelessly and can be charged with Qi.Â

Ergonomics
The mouse is designed for right-handers only. All buttons (including joystick) have a direct, precise pressure point. The mouse wheel’s ratcheting isn’t overly soft or too crisp. Grippy.
Connectivity
The ROG Chakram X supports wired and wireless connectivity via a 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth. In addition, Chakram X can be charged in two ways: wired and via Qi. The mouse can work for up to 114 hours with a 2.4GHz connection and up to 150 hours with Bluetooth on a full charge.
The ROG Chakram X includes two joysticks of varying lengths. The mouse’s design allows you to customise the buttons and top panel. Switches can also be replaced with 3-pin or optical 5-pin switches thanks to the Push-Fit Socket II slots. The mouse is outfitted with ROG Micro Switch branded switches that can withstand up to 70 million clicks.
Software
The ASUS ROG CHAKRAM X has a thumb joystick. The Republic of Gamers’ Armory Crate software lets you customize this joystick. Here’s the software. All mouse buttons except the left can be programmed. Joystick modes include digital and analogue for 360°. You can program the joystick’s arrow keys with the game’s commands, for example. You can set them to leap, crouch, and other joystick motions.
In addition to polling rates of up to 1,000 Hz via radio and 8,000 Hz via cable and DPI settings, you can activate angle detection or “angle snapping” in the programme. We maintain the parameters as RAW as possible without aid. So, angle detection is off, DPI is 800-1200, and angle tuning is 0.
The ASUS ROG CHAKRAM X works best with a QI-chargeable gamepad. The mouse may also be calibrated for regular mouse pads.
In the power settings, the LEDs can indicate low battery. Set the energy-saving mode, too. You can check the battery level in Windows without opening Armory Crate. Stand-by time is an important setting to preserve energy and not lose wake-up time.
In the lighting category, you can choose preset modes, use Aura Sync, or program individual lighting. Investing time here will unleash your creativity. We don’t change Aura Sync’s rainbow mode.
Battery life
The mouse can be charged quickly using either a USB 3.2 port or an appropriate charging plug. The battery life has been increased to up to 114 hours, and a 15-minute quick charge via cable is said to restore up to 25 hours. Wireless charging can also be accomplished with the Qi charging pad.
