I’ve been using the Asus ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition mouse for a little while now, and I have to say it’s been one of the most enjoyable mice I’ve owned. The first thing that stood out to me was how lightweight it feels—it’s perfect for quick, precise movements, and I noticed the difference right away in FPS games where fast reactions matter. The collaboration with Aim Lab is a nice touch too, since the software integration actually helps fine-tune sensitivity settings to my playstyle instead of me guessing what feels best. The build quality is solid, with that premium ROG feel. The clicks are crisp and satisfying. The PTFE feet glide really smoothly, which makes aiming and flick shots feel effortless. A small detail I appreciate is how comfortable it is during long sessions—it has a shape that fits my grip naturally, and it doesn’t feel like I’m forcing my hand into a position. Some gaming mice can feel too bulky or awkward, but this one feels just right. If I had to nitpick, I’d say it’s more tailored to competitive players, so if you’re more casual you might not take advantage of all the Aim Lab syncing and DPI customization features. But for me, that’s part of the fun—tuning everything exactly the way I like it. Overall, I’d recommend the Harpy Ace Aim Lab Edition to anyone who wants a high-performance mouse that balances speed, precision, and comfort. It really feels like it was designed with competitive gaming in mind, and it shows in every little detail. Read more

This is my main mouse I use for FPS gaming, and I love it. For those curious about the difference in this mouse and similar ROG mouse, I will provide my thought on each ones I've tried including this one. 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. Read more

This mouse is a really good product, Asus improved the mouse by getting rid of the rubber sides (if you're an enthusiast the rubber sides is detrimental to longevity, looks). Changing plastic structure from ABS to Nylon, which does help with Tensile strength while also lowering the weight compared to regular ABS, my unit didn't have creaking or weird noise like my other plastic abs mice do. Clicks are good! Somewhat hollow, but not as loud as viper v3 pro or the terrible (imo) superlight 2. RGB is subtle and is only located on the mouse wheel, but it's punchy and I actually enjoy it. Many mice manufactures have the rgb on the body of the mouse where your hand is resting, which to me, makes no sense, considering you won't see that if you're using the mouse. However, with the Harpe 2 has it in the perfect spot. I am worried about the longevity of the mouse wheel, not the performance of the wheel, but i'm curious if the mouse wheel will degrade since it uses a clearer color so the RGB can shine through it better, will the wheel yellow over long periods of time? Time will tell. The sensor is good, pretty sure is equivalent to the paw 3950. Asus ROG in-house sensor which is also capable upto 8k polling rate. Web-base software for controlling dpi, rgb polling rate, as well as driver support. Lightweight and comfortable for my relaxed claw grip style It has bigger PTFE skates, like viper v3 pro. The only thing i really dislike is the 2.4ghz dongle holder on the bottom of the mouse, I wish it was just a flat base shell, i suppose it could be worse, but it could also be better, but i'll give credit where credit is due. They're thinking of their audience that may travel a lot. Read more
