The ROG Gladius III Wireless AimPoint EVA-02 is a wireless ergonomic gaming mouse built for players who want collectible design and dependable performance in shooters and MOBAs. Under the Asuka-coded reds/oranges sits ASUS’s AimPoint optical sensor (tuned PAW3395) with steady 1,000 Hz wireless behavior, tri-mode connectivity, and the brand’s unique Push-Fit Switch Socket II for solder-free main-switch swaps (mechanical or optical). Battery life is a highlight too, comfortably stretching past the 100-hour mark in 2.4 GHz mode with lighting off.

What you’ll feel

This is a tall, palm-filling right-hand shape (123 × 68 × 44 mm) that favors comfort and stability over “featherweight twitch.” At 79 g, glide feels planted and predictable—great for Overwatch 2 style tracking and angle-holding in Valorant. The higher click height and rear hump support medium-to-large hands in relaxed palm or a laid-back claw. Fingertip users or smaller hands may feel guided by the shell rather than fully in control.

Hot-swappable main switches make this one of the few “collector” mice you can realistically keep alive for years.

Highlights

• AimPoint sensor + SpeedNova 2.4 GHz: dependable, drama-free tracking at 1K polling.
• Tri-mode (2.4 / BT / USB-C): bounce between a gaming rig and a laptop with zero hassle.
• Push-Fit Switch Socket II: drop in mechanical or optical switches to customize feel or kill double-clicks.
• EVA-02 execution: themed shell plus matching grip tape that actually boosts traction.
• Battery life: rated ~119 hours on 2.4 GHz (lighting off) reduces charge anxiety.

Why this collab matters (rarity & execution)

• True collaboration, not a reskin: you’re getting the full Gladius III AimPoint hardware with cohesive EVA-02 theming (colors, typography, in-box grip tape).
• Part of an ongoing ASUS x Evangelion partnership: following the earlier EVA-01 Edition, the EVA-02 AimPoint continues the themed ROG lineup (GPUs, boards, and peripherals) that blend performance with anime heritage.
• Collector-first details: included tape adds real traction and preserves the aesthetic; the theme extends beyond a shell swap.
• Usable merch: unlike many collabs, this is spec-complete for ranked play—so it’s display-worthy and mainable.

Tradeoffs to know

• Mass & posture: at 79 g with a tall hump, it won’t feel as effortless to lift/redirect as sub-60 g esport shells.
• Scroll wheel lottery: the encoder isn’t part of the hotswap system and can develop “kickback” over time on some units.
• Armoury Crate heft: great for firmware/profiles; most players will set onboard memory then close it.
• Polling headroom: capped at 1000 Hz—fine for most, but not for 4K/8K chasers.

Who it suits best

• EVA fans & collectors who actually main their gear.
• Palm grippers / medium-to-large hands wanting all-day comfort.
• Reliability hunters who value repairability and switch customization.

Designed alternatives

If the EVA-02 collab vibe is the whole point, but you want to browse other designed wireless mice:

• Fnatic x Lamzu THORN — esports-leaning styling in a lighter, more “aim-tuned” ergonomic shell.
• Pwnage StormBreaker X BLG Valorant — a flashier collab build aimed at collectors who still queue.
• Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition — boutique, smaller ambi shape that feels more like a “display piece” flex pick.

Bottom line: If you want Unit-02 desk art you can main in ranked, this is one of the few collab mice that doesn’t force a choice between looks and capability. We scored it slighly higher than the standard Gladius III Wireless AimPoint for the excellent design execution and included grip tape—just keep an eye on the scroll wheel over time.
