ROG - ROG Harpe Ace Extreme

If you're going to be putting lots of hours on the mouse, wouldn't recommend the Basilisk. I'm on my 4th one in 5 years because the rubber grip area where the thumb sits under the M4/M5 buttons keeps rubbing thin until eventually it just wears away. 2nd one the scroll wheel material separated so it was just spinning independently of the wheel. Mouse left and right click buttons are also a bit wobbly. Switched to an Asus Harpe Ace Extreme and very happy with it. Really nice clicks, ultralight and feels good in the hand.

Excellent build quality, carbon fiber, 47 grams, top-end sensor, TTC Gold encoder wheel, looks expensive and feels like a feather in your hand. When you pick it up, you understand what you paid for. I have exactly the same one, bundled with a ROG Azoth Extreme. And having bought these devices, I completely satisfied my need for other devices. And I'm completely satisfied. And how long these devices last on a single charge... it's simply fantastic.

I own over 6 mice, here are 7 of the gaming mice I have in current rotation. Pulsar X2F (38G) 9.5/10 Final mouse ULX Mini & Large (33-38G) 4/10 ROG Harpe Ace Extreme (47G) Razer Viper Death Adder V4 (56G) Razer Viper Mini Signiture Edition (49G) Logitech GPro X Dex (58G) I do use glass skates on all these mice, usually superglide, or id the mice come with extra glass skates I put them on. The Razer glass skates are super slow, which I find super unique, I do have another pair of glass skates that are faster, but I enjoy the uniqueness too much. Pulsar X2F: Incredible fingertip mouse. I had to go back and order grips because it just felt like it needed a little more as far as the texture. The grip is literal tape. It sticks to fingers so well and has made this my go to mouse recently. It was written off early reviews due to the “weight” but once a mouse is under 40G that’s light enough in my opinion. Any lighter really wouldn’t matter or change function or advantage. 9.5/10 Final Mouse ULX: Honest trash, the first one I bought was the smallest size, the mouse clicks wobble left to right like you wouldn’t believe, by far the worst scroll wheel in any mouse (even 20$ mice) not worth it at all. Got the second as a gift and “hit the Quality control lottery” which is an absolutely lame excuse fans use. The green model has no click wobble, but the clicks are still just bad. Every other company smashes them out of the park, Logitech, Razer, pulsar, It is light and a nice shape, but it’s modeled after the Razer anyways. 4/10 ROG Harpe Ace Extreme: This mouse is my absolute number one. The carbon fiber is beyond premium and the feel in the had is by far the best. The hump is further back for palm grip and finger tip grip is extremely nice with the textured rubber size, and shape for your side fingers to rest. It has a smooth soft touch that Logitech and Razer don’t have. I feel like the plastic finish feels so bad compared to this mouse every time I switch them out, it lowkey has ruined me. Most slept on mouse out there. 10/10 Razer Death Adder V4: Was my go to mouse before the Dex and Harpe. I really like the shape and battery, I use it for long sessions and it’s a staple. If I only had one mouse it would be this just for comfort in the shape, and clicks on every button. Great scroll wheel and the large size is the best shape and width for medium hands. 8.5/10 Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition: Most Premium small mouse out there. Absolutely destroys final mouse, and other small mice in every category. The clicks are by far the best out there, the mouse is magnesium and always cold to the touch. It’s 50 times more rigid than a final mouse, and an incredible mouse for finger tip or claw grip. The shape is tried and true and the finish and premium design pushes it further. And no the triangle cuts don’t ever bother your grip, if anything it adds to the grip in the palm. 11/10 Logitech GPro Dex: Best ergonomic mouse on the market. I’d say it edges out the Razer just a tad. The optical clicks are a bit too clicky and brash for me. They’re a bit too loud and a bit too strong as far as long use. The shape of this mouse is max comfort for ergonomics, it is more exaggerated than the Razer V4, but I’d say if you’re looking for an ergonomic mouse this is the one. The texture and finish feels a bit rough and not as soft and smooth as others, I’d say it’s a small step down from the Razer. 8.5/10 Honorable mention: Pwnage Stormbreaker Max CF: Unique ergonomic shape, adjustable sensor (up or down further in the mouse, and does make a difference, I have mine fully forward) the carbon fiber is super light but feels like plastic. It’s 47G and the largest hump in any mouse I own. I wouldn’t say it’s a comfortable ergonomic feeing for long use, but it’s a unique and nice shape for palm grips. Especially if you look for a big mouse, the slope after the hump is flat and aggressive, so finger tip grip WHILE palming is sort of the best way to explain the way to hold the mouse. 9/10

ROG Harpe Ace. And Viper mini. I never use the final mice. Especially the small one. If you fingertip grip the small one it’s just horrible with all the click wobble and creeking. The Razer viper mini is just so far above it with the stability. The contact points on fingertip grip matter so much, that’s why it’s just so good. As well as the X2F, they’re just incredible for that grip style.

Harpe is my go to as well

Awesome, still rocking the Harpe ACE Aim Lab here.

# Tried and tested most of ROG's most popular mice. Thought I might share my thoughts in case anyone is curious about the differences in each mouse. *I will start from the left, first of which is the* **ROG CHAKRAM X ORGIN -** This is my daily driver. By far the biggest of this bunch coming in at 123g. While it does not take the cake as the biggest mouse Asus has to offer, It is still a much bigger profile than the other mouses I've tried. It is also one of the most comfortable mice I've owned, and naturally feels great in my lengthy hands. I opted for this mouse over Asus's Spartha mouse (which is the largest they have) because I wasn't a fan of how many side buttons the Spartha had, kinda making it seem overwhelming. The Chakram seemed like the perfect compromise. When it comes to the joystick feature the Chakram has, I can say I don't use it at all. I could see how it could be handy for those looking for some more functions , but when i tried it it felt cheap and I immediately put the little cap cover it comes with over the joystick. The 4 other side buttons the Chakram has it plenty for me. My biggest gripe is the that the entire body of the mouse is that slippery smooth matte plastic and it has little to no grip. This doesn't bother me much since i hardly game with this mouse but I felt it was worth mentioning. Battery life is easily the best in this one as well, usually lasting me a few days before needing more juice. Keeping this one for sure. (hot swappable switches) **ROG GLADIUS 3** \- The best way to describe this mouse would be to call it a hybrid of the larger and smaller models Asus has to offer. Holding it in my hand feels similar in size to the Chakram, so its a bigger mouse. But you'll immediately notice how much more lightweight it is, with this mouse coming in at 89 grams. It seems to fit more into the lightweight category of the ASUS mice, just in a different body. It has a sort of odd concave in the main right button , which I'd imagine is to help grip the mouse when claw gripping, but I was never able to get used to it. While I do usually maintain a claw grip, something just felt a bit funky with this one. I could see people absolutely loving this mouse , but I could also understand if it feels weird. Will end up getting rid of this one. (hot swappable) **ROG HARPE ACE Aimpoint Edition-** This is my favorite so far of the bunch. Like I mentioned earlier, my hands are not small and I wanted a mouse to account for that. I believe I've found the perfect balance of size and weight in the Harpe. It's definitely falls into the ultralight weight category coming in at just 54 grams. I also love the placement of the side buttons, as they fall right above where I rest my thumb (this was an issue for me on the mice I will discuss next) . I hated how most of the ultra light weight mice out there have such a small frame, but the Harpe is seemingly my saving grace. They also make an Extreme version of this mouse that is like carbon fiber or something but its well over 3 times as much so I never really considered that one. Also a HUGE plus I should mention is that this mouse IS compatible with OMNI dongles (It does not come with one though) so if you have an ROG keyboard like me that uses an omni dongle then you can pair this mouse with it. I believe this was recently added to its firmware , so it does not advertise this feature on like amazon and stuff. It also gets 4000k wireless polling rate and 8k wired , when using the ROG's polling rate booster. I'm not sure if the Gladius is also capable of this, but I can confirm the Harpe does. (not hot swappable) **ROG KERIS 2 ACE**\- Before trying the Harpe, I thought this was the one I'd be using for fps and gaming. It also falls into the ultra lightweight category at 54 grams, same as the Harpe. It has a much shorter frame than the Harpe, and is a bit taller . Don't get me wrong, I love this mouse. It feels good to claw grip and It's the newest Mouse from Asus right now and comes with a polling rate booster and omni dongle. Similar to the Harpe (minus having to update firmware for this) this mouse has a wired 8k and wireless 4k polling rate with the booster in use. If I had smaller hands I'd probably prefer this one. The biggest gripe I have is the placement of the side buttons. I find them much too high above where my thumb rests and struggle to press them without having to quickly adjust my grip. I assume those with smaller hands that prefer a claw grip wouldn't experience the same issue. **ROG KERIS 1 ACE-** Not actually called the "KERIS ONE" , just the Keris as this is the original version of the previous mouse. The best way I could describe this mouse would be to call it a mini version of the Harpe (yes i know there is an actual HARPE MINI that Asus sells but idk how else to describe this mouse lol) in terms of shape and size, as I find it more closely resembles its shape more so than its newer model. I doesn't protrude as much upwards like the Keris 2 does and I find the side buttons much easier to access. It is heavier than the previous two, as it is a bit older. Still a very capable mouse, and they are less than 50 bucks used on amazon. I probably could've just gotten this mouse originally and never looked back. While it doesn't have the polling rate or weight of the others, It is still very capable at 1000hz polling rate in wireless mode, and for the price I'd be happy to roll with this mouse. If anyone has any questions, I'm happy to send pictures or describe them in better detail. I had a hell of a time really finding out much about these online so hopefully someone finds this at least a little helpful. Cheers !

Not trying to be insensitive, but do you have Marfan Syndrome? On the mouse front, I do recommend checking out the ROG Harpe Ace, it's a little long for most folks so it might be suitable for you. Best of luck!

The Asus ROG Harpe Ace could be a good option, as the most common complaint is that its too long. I would recommend getting use to fignertip grip though, my hands are 'only' 21.5 cm long but i fignertip pretty much every mouse on the market.

i see some rog haters are here, rog mouses are a bit overpriced but really good, better quality than something like razer and better software for around same price

eloshapes don't show curves, so you can't know if it's really clone, but if it's i would be sad, i have original harpe ace and its shape feel much better for me than viper v3 pro shape

Harpe ace was too long and the mini fixed that weird shape
