The weight is definitely the first thing I noticed about this mouse. Though the mouse I have been using prior to this is not ‘heavy’ by any means at just under 70g, it really is something picking up this mouse that only weighs 48g. It also feels very responsive and the wireless connection has been rock solid for me. Included with the mouse is a 2.4GHz dongle, a USB-C to USB-A cable, a receiver extension, and a set of grips and skates.The 2.4GHz USB-A receiver is very small and great for laptops where you don’t want a big 2.4GHz receiver sticking out. It also stores inside the mouse for travel so you don’t lose it. The mouse as stated before is extremely light - it’s hard to believe that there’s a battery inside of this thing. The build quality is great. It has a matte black finish that so far has been resisting smudges pretty well with occasional cleanings. The buttons left and right click buttons have great feedback and are easy to press rapidly. Though it’s not going to be great for scrolling thousand page documents, the scroll wheel has just the right amount of resistance and incrementing for things like switching inventory or weapons in game. The scroll wheel is also the only part of the mouse that gets any RGB lighting, which is fine with me as I appreciate the understated look. The bottom side of the mouse has a 3-position switch for going between wired, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth modes. There is also a DPI button for switching between the programmed values and there is a color indication on the scroll wheel for each DPI mode. The mouse is comfortable in my large-ish hands, I believe I have what they call a fingertip grip, and I haven’t experienced any fatigue after a few gaming sessions and a full day of work. I have been primarily using this mouse in the 2.4GHz mode with the USB receiver plugged into the back of my desktop. I haven’t been using the receiver extender and so far I haven’t had any connectivity issues at all using this mouse. Out of the box, it’s set at a default polling rate of 1000Hz, but this can go all the way up to 8000Hz. I’ve chosen to leave mine at the default value. The DPI presets are 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 DPI and that value can go all the way up to an insane 42000. I have mostly been alternating between the 1600 and 3200 presets, depending on what I’m doing. The tracking is excellent and you can calibrate the mouse even further within the software. The software, called Gear Link, is web based and does not require any local installation. It’s nice to not have to have one more piece of software to manage, but I do sometimes forget the name of it and have to Google the URL. Gear Link lets you customize the angle you hold the mouse, DPI presets, polling rates, and more. There is also something called SpeedShift, which lets you create a secondary layer of functions on the mouse buttons by holding one down, similar to the Shift key on a keyboard. I’m sure Asus is not the only company that offers this, but it was cool to see. There is a ‘Zone Mode’, which puts the mouse into a higher performance configuration when needed. The performance of this mode is configurable, but I didn’t really see the utility of it and the button press combination (both side buttons and the DPI button for 3 seconds) is hard to remember. Battery life so far for me has been excellent. I was at 94% after about 8 hours of usage with the scroll wheel LED on. The rated life by Asus with the LED lighting on is 84 hours, so I have to think I'm on track to exceed or at the very least meet that battery life. I would not consider myself a hyper-competitive gamer, but it feels like the Harpe II Ace really ticks all the boxes in that regard. I haven’t found any real shortcomings with this mouse and I might finally be ready to retire my Logitech G703.

The Asus ROG Harpe II Ace Ultralight is great. I have been building computers and gaming for thirty plus years, and this is one of the best performing mice I have ever used. It feels highly tuned. It has excellent features. The web-based configuration utility removes the need to have a third-party app taking up system resources. Asus includes grips, extra feet / skates, and an extender for the wireless dongle that clips to your mouse pad. I am honestly surprised by how much this mouse has wowed me. After a week of heavy use, I have only dropped about 20 percent of my battery life. I have not found anything wrong with this mouse and that might be the most praise I can heap on it. It is solid. Unboxing: As said above, Asus includes the mouse, USB-C to USB-A braided cable, wireless 2.4ghz dongle, extra feet / skates, the wireless dongle extender with built-in mousepad clip, and texture grips that stick to the mouse if you choose. All-in-all, you get a pretty complete package. Experience: This mouse feels great in my hand. The weight is perfect, the skates are smooth, the scroll wheel has the perfect level of resistance, the clicks are quiet and snappy, and the side button placement is perfect. Asus has transitioned the mouse away from Armory Crate (which was a bit bloated IMO) to the web based GearLink. Firmware updates and mouse configuration can be changed from the web-based UI. The mouse has built-in profiles that can be adjusted via button press combinations, but I prefer the web-based UI. The mouse has RGB lighting in the mouse scroll wheel. It is not much, but I never understood putting a light on a mouse that my hand would cover up. For what it is worth, the lighting is bright and effective. Battery life has been great. I have fluctuated the polling rate for the mouse, but so far, I have only used around 20 percent of the battery life over a week’s testing. Surface calibration works well and I noticed a huge improvement in performance after I ran the calibration utility from GearLink. The mouse movement smoothed out after running the calibration utility. Nitpicks: I have none. Conclusion: This is an easy mouse to recommend. I have no complaints. After testing numerous games and applications, I truly have nothing negative to say about this mouse. I feel like ASUS made this mouse for people like me and I cannot recommend it highly enough. 5/5

I’ve been using the Asus ROG Harpe II Ace gaming mouse for about a week now and I’m pretty happy with it. In my opinion it looks and feels kind of “basic”, but I am totally ok with that. The mouse is very lightweight and comfortable and that’s what makes this mouse very good. It also has a very smooth and stable “tracking light”. I use it on my table and desk without any issues even thought I don’t use a mouse pad for it. The optics on it are so good, that it just works on almost any surface. The mouse has a small amount of clickable buttons. 5 to be exact if I’m not mistaken. The scroll wheel can be pushed as a button. You can customize the buttons to whatever you’d like to use them for in game. The RGB light is very subtle also and only lights up the scroll wheel. The mouse came with extra “feet” and stickers with a grippy matte texture which can be applied to the mouse to change up the design and add grip to it if you feel like it is lacking. Battery life is excellent, and it comes with a wireless dongle and charging cable. The mouse has worked flawlessly for me while gaming. I’ve been playing marvel rivals, Fortnite and resident evil 4 with this mouse. I love it. My hand never really fatigues with this mouse. All in all, I think this mouse is very good, and worth having. I love it’s simplicity, and subtle design. I think most gamers would be happy with this mouse. I am. It’s quick, smooth and has very responsive buttons and trackng optics.
