ASUS ROG Keris II Ace

[pzogel]

The right-handed ergonomic ROG Keris II Ace comes with ASUS's latest 42,000 CPI AimPoint Pro sensor, along with 8000 Hz wired and 4000 Hz wireless polling. Up to 107 hours of battery life are cited in 2.4 GHz wireless operation, and even more using Bluetooth. The 54 g weight is achieved using a solid-shell design, and optical switches are used for the main buttons.

Compared to the Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition - is the right button also a bit stiff to press down?
I find these ROG micro switches a bit odd - or is it the shell construction?

Is the AimPoint Pro an actually self-developed sensor like the HERO for Logi or is it just a 3395 in a funny hat, as it usually goes? Come to think of it, are there ANY high-performance optical sensors apart from Pixart and Logi even left?

The switches are different, and not nearly as stiff. The shell rigidity is comparable between the two.

It is a PixArt-based design, though I'm unsure whether it is 3395 or 3950-based. The glass-tracking capabilities support the latter assumption, the jitter levels the former.

I seem to remember Razer having dibs for two years on the 3950, no? I don’t recall if the period of exclusivity has ended or not yet.

It has, so theoretically at least this could be 3950-based.

Asus needs to rethink pricing - I'm genuinely curious who is the demographic for their mice at these prices when there are so many better alternatives.

Shitsus seems to be castrating their ROGarbage products as well, their previous mice had user replaceble switches this seems to have done away with it.
