The ASUS ROG Harpe II Ace is a great flagship esports focused gaming mouse that is a pretty significant update to the original Harpe Ace Aim Labs edition Unboxing - Lots of goodies and extras if you’ve ever unboxed a ROG product. The Harpe II is a medium sized mouse coming in at 48g (confirmed on my scale) which is very light with no holes. The shell feels very solid and I don’t doubt it will hold up over time as recent ASUS mice I’ve used don’t really creak too much even after heavy months. The only downside is the material ASUS uses which is bio-based nylon feels like you’re holding very thin hollow plastic and that also carries over to how the clicks sound. Using ROG branded 100m optical switches I would describe the main and side buttons as being totally adequate but nothing special. If you are coming from the original Harpe and are wondering how different the shape is: The top hump has been smoothed out and overall everything has been rounded out. The original feels more aggressive if you really do a solid claw grip, but I prefer the new one and I know from experience that certain “safe” shapes just end up being really good long term. The Harpe II certainly feels like it. In terms of performance the sensor can go up to 42K DPI and up to 8KHz polling rate. Everything felt truly on point and I found the sweet spot for me to be 2KHz which also meant I wasn’t draining the battery as fast. I could also tune everything in ASUS Gear Link which works flawlessly and is a web based software. No need to install Armoury Crate if you want to just change the settings of the mouse. Speaking of which you can finally turn off motion-sync which is something I prefer to not use and is usually on by default. For the gliding experience the stock skates performed very nicely on controlled mousepads which is what I and most people use, but if you’re looking for more of a speedy experience I would still go dots. Overall Harpe II Ace is a solid recommendation but I do wish it stood out more in some way to better justify the hefty (even on sale) price.
