ASUS JAPAN has dated the ROG Gladius IV Ace mouse for October 30, 2026 at an estimated 26,080 yen in black and white. It ships alongside the ROG Raikiri II Pro controller, which ASUS had already scheduled for around late October in its September product announcement.
The ROG Gladius IV Ace entered ASUS JAPAN's release schedule through a dedicated October 23 announcement that also covered the ROG Raikiri II Pro controller. Both products launch October 30, 2026, the mouse at an estimated 26,080 yen and the controller at 37,280 yen, each in black and white.
The mouse is a right-handed ergonomic wireless model with a 56g body, a sensor rated to 65,000DPI and a polling rate up to 8,000Hz. Included 3g, 5g and 7g weights raise the total as high as 71g across seven balance options, so the weight is a per-user tuning scheme rather than a single spec. ASUS credits the design to sports science. Communication runs on ROG SpeedNova 8K Gen II, and the mouse supports NVIDIA Reflex.
The September 17 announcement of four ROG products for Japan set the Gladius IV Ace's context. It dated the Raikiri II Pro to around late October, listed 8,000Hz polling on both wired and 2.4GHz connections, replaceable TMR joysticks and up to 79 hours of battery life, and said all four products appear at the ROG booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026. The October announcement carried the same 8,000Hz and 79-hour figures for the controller, which puts one latency number on both peripherals rather than across the wider lineup.
