Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 review
The most luxurious gaming mouse I've managed to get grubby.
Asus has released the ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20, a gaming mouse that exudes extravagance. Priced at $260 or £250, this mouse is adorned with gold plating and boasts an impressive 65,000 DPI. The Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 is a testament to luxury, both in appearance and performance.
The mouse is equipped with the ROG AimPoint Pro 65K sensor, a wired (USB Type-C), wireless (2.4 GHz and Bluetooth) connectivity, a 8,000 Hz polling rate, and a whopping 70 G acceleration. With a speed of 800 IPS, the mouse is designed to provide top-of-the-line gaming experience. However, it comes at the cost of an 82g weight, which is almost double the weight of its predecessor.
The mouse's aesthetics are a blend of blacks, golds, and transparent sides, with 24K gold detailing that complements the design. The RGB lighting is a showstopper, shining through the transparent shell, and the body of the mouse houses the ROG 20th anniversary logo. Despite the sleek and smooth feel, the mouse can be a fingerprint magnet, requiring regular cleaning.
While the mouse is an impressive piece of technology, it may not be the best choice for everyone. Those looking for an ultra-light mouse might find it heavy, and for competitive gamers, there are better options available at a lower price. However, for those who appreciate a showpiece mouse and are willing to overlook its weight, the Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 is a worthy investment.
