Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 review

The most luxurious gaming mouse I've managed to get grubby.

Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 review

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.
