ASUS ROG Chakram Long Term Review

[@jhonsmiththe6th]

I just ordered this mouse last night I'm sick of buying cheap mouses the buttons start acting up or quit working or the scroll wheel button stops working or acts up so that's why I got this mouse 🐁 everything that I have is a ausu rog everything in my gaming rig to what's on my desk can't wait to get it and try it out this mouse 🐁 looks sick I always love the looks of asus rog products and never really had a problem with them breaking or screwing up and as far as the program's go same thing never had a problem using their programs hardware I don't know I guess it's because like I said everything I have going from what's in my PC to on my desk is asus rog I try to keep it all the same product same name everything that way you'll have less f*** ups and less hardware screw-ups hardware conflicts and a good job on the video review enjoyed watching it 👍 oh and as far as going with the price as asus rog products are premium products so yeah everytime I buy one of their products I expected to be expensive but so worth it

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Hope you enjoy the mouse

[@jhonsmiththe6th]

@@Wolfgang790tech I hope the same lol because I swear by Asus rog it's one of the few PC part products however you want to put it that hasn't given me any or barely any trouble and like I said I just love the looks of Rog and their packaging

[@Wolfgang790tech]

I love their design language as well. I can admit I got some inspiration from their logo for mine. Just remember they're not perfect, for example with the whole AMD CPUs burning up until after a big ordeal and miscommunication. They are great, but never be too obsessed with a brand as to call them perfect.

[@jhonsmiththe6th]

@@Wolfgang790tech yeah true but for me I call them perfect lol because like I said I have everything almost all rog and before I had Corsair and Corsair is garbage nothing but problems with them shity mouse that broke after three months the keyboard and headset headstand kept cutting in and out for some reason have no clue why it still does it once in awhile and some of their fans that I paid a shitload of money for a few of them weren't so it's already after a year

[@jhonsmiththe6th]

Hit the send button by accident to continue on the only thing I liked about Corsair was the ram and I had a few other products that didn't last as long I don't know I guess I game hard I guess I am on my computer every single day all the time using all my computer gear and with the Asus rog I had most of it for over a year now and still working like new but yeah that whole motherboard sing with the AMD chips burning up when I heard that and seeing videos on it it did break my heart but you know what almost every f****** company has f*** ups like that

- I've been using Chakram for 3 years, honestly it's the best mouse I've ever used, Its joystick can help me play some flight simulators or simply move up and down very quickly while surfing the web or countless other conveniences if I know how to use it. However, I am quite upset about its scroll wheel, it has started to mess up and not work properly with my rolling speed. - And you know, the rubber coating on the scroll wheel is quite thin and easy to wear, in addition, its rubber is very easy to age and decay over time. I don't know where to replace the scroll wheel system, but the warranty company will give a very expensive price. - I always set the rgb brightness to about 50%, and its battery has been working for 2 days so far (I use the mouse a lot), other than the scroll wheel issue, I have no complaints about it. 😁😁 Sorry for my bad english.

[@Wolfgang790tech]

That's great long term feedback, thanks for commenting. As far as replacing the scroll wheel, it is doable, but you would need to buy a specific screwdriver and you may break something. I've opened the mouse once and it isn't the easiest to repair. I hoped the scroll wheel would last longer than the switches.

[@currentlykent4593]

Good video, dude. Thanks for talking about the mouse.

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Happy to help, might be worth considering the chakram x, same mouse with 2 additional side buttons

[@currentlykent4593]

@@Wolfgang790tech ahh ok. I saw it as an option but I’m one of those weirdos that buys something and watches the reviews after that 🤣 I’m also old so more buttons scare and confuse me. *waves fist at clouds

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Ah I see 🤣 I'd say 4 side buttons is my max. I'm currently trying to sell my chakram to get the x, but I'm happy with what I've got so I won't upgrade if I can't sell it

[@Duck4Evers]

I know this review is older but it's probably the best review of this mouse I've seen so far, thank you! One question, is the joystick position programmable?

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. I'm not quite sure I got the question. You can program what each direction on the joystick does, or change it to a analog joystick for games. Let me know if I misunderstood the question

[@Duck4Evers]

@@Wolfgang790tech That's what I meant, I wanted to know if I could assign a keybind to each direction of the joystick

[@gabrielfestini]

Why would the hide the logo under the panel?...it makes it look so blurry :(

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Yeah, not ideal, but it does give you the flexibility to change the logo

[@spiritdiana5004]

I have this mouse for 2 years now, today I'm looking for how to open that back/forward buttons

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Are you trying to repair them? I'm curious why you'd need to open it to that point

[@spiritdiana5004]

@@Wolfgang790tech I want to replace the new switch since they start to feels sloppy

[@spiritdiana5004]

Also to do a deep clean

[@Wolfgang790tech]

I see. Well you need a tripont screwdriver. I believe it's a Y00 or Y0. I don't have that bit so I can't really test if the switches are easy to replace after that point. Fortunately Asus put the screws inside the top part of yhe mouse and not under the slide/glide pads.

[@HaakisHD]

I have had this mouse for 2 years. Only thing that I dislike is the software... Haven't got that to work since I bought it, lol. :) Also! That Weapon changing is also been happening to me xD Great Review! :)

[@Wolfgang790tech]

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with the weapon swap thing 😆. Thanks for the positive comment!

[@applepulse]

I just wanna say thank you for your awesome videos I bought this mouse and rog falchion Do you have experience with ROG headsets!? Like Rog Strix go 2.4

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Hey, thanks for the comment. Means a lot yo me. I only have experience with the Cetra 2 and I'd say they aren't great. I got to make a follow up on those earbuds. As for headsets I'd recommend getting normal good sounds headphones, and buy a cable with a boom mic attached. Check my mic setup vid, the first item I show is what I mean. I'll be making a video on a new one I just bought

[@applepulse]

@@Wolfgang790tech thank you

[@costantineyoussif6679]

do you still recommend this mouse in 2024 or should i go with Logitech G502 X Lightspeed or Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro ? thanks again for the review

[@Wolfgang790tech]

I would recommend it if you have more Asus accessories. If you have positive experiences with armoury crate as I have. I think it's a great mouse. Otherwise I know the Logitech one is extremely good and very dependable

[@costantineyoussif6679]

@@Wolfgang790tech i actually received my Asus Rog Strix scope II 96 keyboard today and i love it, and i also have the Asus ROG GT AX6000 router and it’s wonderful 👌. Asus always impress me with their quality and performance and designs, but I’m still more open to see if there’s any other gaming mouse that i should give it a try. I don’t really care much for the ROG as i care about if it operate with AAA battery and to have a bluetooth as an option.

[@stardust--]

@@Wolfgang790tech is the software doing a good job for macro? (dont need to switch profile depend on apps, just 1 profile running macro) like the cpu usage and etc..

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

I have fused fingers on left., so wasd movement is a pain in the rear. Am currently tempted to try the chakram.x mouse. But shes a bit pricy and i question if my noggin could co.ordinate fluent movement in games like csgo😂 Or possibly the wired left handed razor Tartarus v2 keypad with thumb joy.

[@Wolfgang790tech]

That's an interesting use case. I'd personally go with the razor thing as it's easier to adjust to, but it would be nice to control everything from one hand. If you're competitive in csgo, then it kind of has to be the razor though

[@toxitaku]

Ive been using it for 2 years now and I always have the Problem that I cant use the cable to play. It workrd at first but after some time it just stopped same with any other mode sometimes it just stops working

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Interesting. I don't play cabled sp I don't know if the same happens for me

[@toxitaku]

Oh I see. Just now it happened again but with bluetooth the lighting is on and the detection laser thingy is glowing red the entire time.Unusable.I think its time dor a new mouse D:

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Have you tried with the 2.4 wireless reciever?

[@toxitaku]

Yep same thing

[@bassheadlife492]

Can the joystick controll the cursor?

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Interesting question, but it can't

[@bassheadlife492]

@@Wolfgang790tech danggg

[@costantineyoussif6679]

is it heavy? how many gram?

[@Wolfgang790tech]

I don't have a scale to measure it, but I'd say it's comparable to the other two mice you mentioned in your other comment

[@_skud]

thanks

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Happy to help!

[@Ov3rDoZeD]

Nice reviews the falcon software is shit does not have enough options for the keyboard lighting

[@Ov3rDoZeD]

I like it glowing and when I press a key the kei changes colour but armory crate did not have that option for the keyboard

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Yeah, unfortunately they don't offer as much customization with lighting as others. What keyboard do you use to have that effect?

[@Ov3rDoZeD]

@@Wolfgang790tech I think it was corsair k something rgb one I had a razer keyboard they had options it's basacly one layer of static colour and then second layer only lights a button in a different colour it was cool. Thought never keyboards gonna have more options xD

[@Ov3rDoZeD]

Only used that effect to know when an imput is registered on the actual keyboard like seeing feedback or misclicks when typing or gaming couse you see the key change colour while holding it

[@Ov3rDoZeD]

Might try making that effect in aura creator but I am not that tech sawy

[@Omega-EP]

Hello. Nice review. However, it's pronounced "falchion", not "falchion". Hope this helped!

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Ah nice, thanks😂

@@Wolfgang790tech No problem! 💀

[@maimaibiri9045]

The selling point of this mouse is the joystick, if you don't need one dont choose this and save yourself some money, but even if you do need them, the joystick on this mouse is too far for regular comfort use, unless you can find a 3rd printed custom joystick cap to be able to move it back, this mouse is useless for the price, or as useful as any other regular mouse without a joystick for far less cheaper, if you intend to get the new chakram x, don't bother, its the same design resulting in the same unreachable thumbstick, damn thing is a massive dissappointment, a regular wireless logitech mouse with tilt key is far usefull than this.

[@Wolfgang790tech]

Yeah, it's made for the people who like to tinker *with large hands*. Overpriced for sure but for some, it's good. Just really depends on what you're looking for.

[@HeadBassVTEC]

the joystick is not innovative, Mad Catz MMO7 and RatM have had that a decade ago I really like some of the features but I think the worst thing is the ergonomics are bad...the joystick is too far and the wheel is way too close when holding the mouse with a close hug (not claw grip) to have the thumb on the joystick the wheel is then so close that you cannot scroll with your fingertip would be a great mouse if they did not mess up on the most basics ;o]

[@Wolfgang790tech]

That's true, ergonomics could be better. Luckily for my games I don't use the joystick so it doesn't bother me, but then again, that means I could use pretty much any other mouse
