It used to be that buying a computer mouse, even one designed for gaming, was mostly about the speed of the optical sensor and its design. These days companies are trying to add even more features to gaming mouse products. One of them is Asus who decided to put a small joystick on the side of one of their gaming mice.

At the moment, the product in question, the The Asus ROG Chakram X Origin Gaming Mouse is available for the lowest price of $89.99 on Amazon. That’s also a whopping $60 off the $139.99 MSRP.

The detachable joystick, located on the left side of the mouse, actually comes in three sizes. This means you should be able to find one that is comfortable to use with your hand. The four-way joystick should allow you to move your character around in games without needing keyboard controls.

The joystick can also switch from analog to digital mode. This makes it a programmable four-way mouse button that can be customized to handle different commands. Including the joystick, the mouse has 11 programmable buttons.

The mouse has an optical sensor of 36,000 DPI and a polling rate of 8,000 Hz for quick responses in games. While you can connect the mouse to your computer with a USB cable, it can also work wirelessly, either with Bluetooth or by connecting the mouse with the included 2.5 GHz USB dongle. Battery life will last up to 114 hours on a single charge, and you can get up to 25 hours of use with just a 15-minute charge.
