ROG - ROG Keris II Ace

Harpe Ace/Extreme. I wrote a few page email to JJ at Asus a few years ago saying I wanted to see. It was pages and pages long. I had a Keris from you guys (it came with my rampage v edition 10. I liked it but I told them that it needed to be lighter. I pointed out all the areas that the PCB could be clipped off, where weight savings could be made. Made suggestions about the mouse feet, types of switches to offer, everything. Said they should release a symmetrical design like the finalmouse/other types. He basically said they had focus groups for that. Although his email back was very professional, I was also disappointed. I'd like to test the Harpe Ace Extreme because this one is refreshing. I want to see how far you've come.

We often think, big brands don't really listen to the community but this is a proof that they do. I think Asus is putting the peripheral community on alert. I see the big improvements they've made in their keyboards and these mouse advancements add to more of their brilliancy. ROG Harpe Ace Extreme with the lightweight design and ergonomic shape, which allows claw and palm grippers to find something they like ( I actually have a mixed grip) and it will definitely be one to try for me! side note, Keris II Ace’s swappable switches are a game-changer for durability. I think with how much modding takes place for many of the mouse in the current market, Asus might be onto something in introducing hot swappable parts (so to speak) in the mice world.

Very good mouse overall. But I think it's buttons have chronic creaking problem.

I buy blind om this becausw of sale around 100$ in my country this is good mouse better than my supelight 2 dex, very comparable to my lamzu thorn in shape and weight and i agree the build quality is perfect can use polling rate at 8k with 2.4Ghz booster but 8k vs 4k i see no difference for me its a good eveyday gaming mouse

Its up to you if you want to buy it or not but my opinion was my own they didnt pay me anything here for 110$ i like it better than my gpx2 dex, keris 2 and lamzu thorn. It hits the right spot for its price spec and build quality its reasonable i think but their keyboards? Nahh 100% nahhh

Yeah its good buy i think for its price, my gpx2 dex and keris ii ace is much expensive vs this i still choose this all day for swappable bat and build quality

Hey I got this mouse and really enjoy it. The problem i got is for some reason I can't install armory crate gear. The install goes to 99% and never finishes. I left it for a few hours and everything had to close it manually. I'm curious as to what you mean by "you can set options without software like with xfrty mouse" how?

Can I please get the harpe extreme if I have a chance since I already got the original harpe, harpe ace mini and keris2? I love the bulky feeling of harpe and the carbon fiber does enhance the shell quality.

por favor alguien experimentado en este mouse me diga que tan cierto es de la falla prematura de la goma del scroll. Lo tengo apenas hace 3 dias y uso mucho la rueda para jugar, lei malos comentarios y me da inseguridad nose si quedarmelo o devolverlo.

Keris II Ace - ergonomic & fits all grip styles Harpe lineup - ambidextrous: 1. Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition 2. Harpe Ace Mini (smaller but good for claw or fingertip grip style) These 3 are all lightweight and have nice clicks & feel. Only go for Spatha series if you don't mind heavier and more buttons for MMORPG games.

Rgb is not a usable function if we talk mice for competitive games. Most dont have it to cut down on weight. If its really a big thing to you i would recommend the Asus keris II ace as its both low weight, high polling and has rgb.

I've never heard about carbon fiber on a mouse before, so that's pretty cool. I like the whole idea about aiming for lightweight even for the largest Harpe Ace Extreme mouse. I generally approve of all 3 shapes as i'm personally not a fan of large mice trying to outdo themselves with various design choices and just becoming more massive and complicated. So naturally the Harpe Ace Mini is the one that catches my eye first. But then also the Keris II Ace seems more slick and curved and i would probably find it more comfortable. I like the fact that you can plug in a usb cable and just use them like a wired mice.

Love my ROG Kerris 2 Its just Perfect for me

Rog Kerris 2 ACE

I bought it 3 weeks ago. So no Long time Review. But im complety in love. I have 0 Problems but as i Said no Long time Review

You. It's lose. Very annoying. Switched back to a Logitech mouse with light force switches

yup, mine is coming loose and scroll gets stuck sometimes

Not the same shape, but my asus rog keris ace 2 is blowing my mind. Lightweight, good connection, good battery, 2000hz wireless if you care, and it was on discount

I’m loving my Keris ii Ace 🐁

I have the Keris 2 Ace and it’s the best mouse I’ve ever had!!! Went from the Gladius 3 and never looking back

happened to mine as well. the rubber is loose after a month and can get stuck while scrolling. ASUS really messed up on this. seems to be quite widespread [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gE7wcpq85mo](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gE7wcpq85mo) such a shame for such a great mouse

I had the keris II and it was one the best ergo mouse i ever tried.

This mouse has the best ergo shape of any mouse. Just wish it was larger for those that like bigger mice for a comfort fit.

You clearly haven't used many ergos of you think they are similar. Pulsar x3 and terra are based on g703. Large mice. The dex is a little smaller and more of a right hand curve. The xlite es, sprime and keris 2 etc are right handed but more medium size mice. Knowing the size tou want is the biggest thing with ergos.

The ROG Keris II Ace impresses with its ultralight 54g design and comfortable ergonomic shape. The 4000Hz wireless polling is snappy, but I wish the side grips were grippier

For me, the mouse shape is always a dealbreaker. I like the idea of the ROG Keris II’s sloped sides and thumb friendly button placement since comfort over long sessions is a must. The Harpe Ace Mini sounds great for fingertip grip. it’s tough to find a lightweight option that suits that style. The weight range across these models looks super solid, though I wonder how noticeable the 47g vs. 54g difference is in actual gameplay.

Asus ROG Keris II Ace first at my top list. Second place is Lamzu Paro Aurora SE. I prefer small ergo mice. 😉

# 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 !

Maybe check out the wireless ROG Keris 2 aimpoint which is super light at 54 grams and feels great. I also have the wireless Gladius 3 Aimpoint which turned out being my favorite mouse to game on across the board due to the weight and feel. The ROG chakram is my general use mouse, and by far the most comfy. Happy to shoot you a photo for size comparison

I always love the EC3 shape, but mine is dead and I am now using ROG Keris 2 ace. The performance is top notch, but I still prefer the more controllable EC3 shape. My hand size is 18 cm, 10 cm. I would like to try the Feinmann which is only a hair higher hump than EC3, but I think I will wait for the 1.5 Size with no holes. Thanks for your meticulous review brother.

Asus Keris II Ace in white so good.

Asus Keris II Ace so far has been the mouse I've used. The clicks, the coating, the shape. Overall a better deathadder for me. Second would be GPX superlight with TTC Golden 80m :)

My Logitech G pro gaming mouse had more and more issues. I checked Rocketjumpninja and bought the Asus Keris II Ace which was on sale at the time too. What an insane mouse that is. Precision and weight is nuts! [https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/products/mouse/asus-rog-keris-ii-ace-wireless](https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/products/mouse/asus-rog-keris-ii-ace-wireless)

I've said it before the ROG Harpe Ace and the Keris 2 are some of the best mice I've ever used, but DAMN the ROG software is some absolute buns. I even liked the new ROG Harpe Ace Mini.

I 100% agree with you. I actually think the Harpe Ace and the Keris 2 are some of the best mice I've ever used. I love their shapes and their coating along with pretty much everything. But man, the ROG software is SO BAD i stopped using them. I even like the new Harpe Ace Mini, but I returned it because of how BAD their software is.

I just bought the Keris 2 now. I still find 129 too expensive but at least it’s offering more than any big-brand competitor. I also had and returned the ace mini. Amazing product but it was an impulse buy, I think its msrp should be 99 for what it offers. To me ASUS completely replaced Logitech as one of the biggest brand for gaming peripherals.

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

Dude, I still use an ~20yr old diamondback with zero issues, but my new naga rmb switch broke right after warranty ended, go figure… Not planning on buying another Razer product, the new stuff isn’t built to last. I switched to rog so I can swap out the switches if one goes, working ok so far.

The mouse is really amazing, very powerful and light, the grip is really clean
