This gaming mouse is made to be ultralight all without skimping on core and key features that are necessary for competing in demanding titles.
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
Some time ago, I think a couple of years ago, I took a look at the Asus ROG Harp Ace AimLab, which is a crazy name, but which basically was codenamed for this is the most luxurious, nice performative wireless mouse that Asus' ROG division can make."
"Now they have made a sequel.
It is the ROG Harp A2 Ace, or Ace 2, and it is very much still the luxury option.
I mean luxury option because this costs €179, which is a lot.
I mean you can get a Turtle Beach one, the Kony 2 Air, I believe, which right now costs around €69, but which offers somewhat the same levels of functionality, but without some key specifications, which we'll get into."
"First and foremost, it is right-hand coded, but I would want, since it is right-hand coded because these two mouse buttons, for instance, cannot be moved over to the other side, so it's really not good for lefties, and there is a little bit of a sculpting happening on the right side for where your thumb is supposed to be, so I would want them to go further."
"I still don't know why more gaming mice that is appealing to right-handers regardless aren't doing the MX Master thing of creating a really sculpted design to increase comfort and maybe also functionality over the course of longer gaming sessions, but none of them do that.
Well, the DeathAdder do, but not that much, and this could definitely do with more of that."
"Still, it is incredibly light, like we're talking 48 grams here, and inside you'll find a battery which will give you 100 hours on the 2.4 GHz dongle and like 80, 90-ish hours on Bluetooth because it also has that.
Turn that on and off through a little switcher here, which is nicer than a button, so I'm really nice, I'm really happy with that."
"It has 42K DPI in the Aimpoint Pro sensor right here.
There is a lot of discussion as to how much DPI you actually need, like even the most professional people, like even if you want large sensitivity and you also want the sensor to be precise, are we getting to a point where it's just overkill, like new 700Hz monitors, like do we get to a point where it's just numbers going up?
Point is, to some degree, some people that argue for this incremental increase all the time say, well, if it does 42,000 DPI, chances are that it'll be more detailed going from one DPI to the next."
"That is a good point to some degree.
Also, in terms of Hertz polling rate, this does 8,000 Hertz polling rate and it does that wirelessly through the 2.4GHz dongle.
That is crazy."
"And that dongle, you can see it right there, is embedded in the mouse, so it's not even like a big bulky receiver unit that you need to carry separately, no, no, no, no, no, it's right there.
And the gliding is completely effortless, which is very nice."
"It has ASUS's own 100 million optical micro switches, which is due for 100 million clicks, I suppose.
Point is, it's expensive, but it's also very performant and I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the hands of leading sort of eSports people."
"If you want to make sure that there is no hesitancy between you and the equipment and you know for a fact when you use your equipment that it was you that was slow, not your gear, well then this would be the one to buy.
Just be aware that there are cheaper alternatives which will offer you a lot of the same stuff for less."
