ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Mini

Aside from being smaller and lighter at 48 g than the original Harpe Ace, the Harpe Ace Mini also comes with ROG optical switches for the main buttons and ASUS's latest AimPoint sensor. Both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth are supported, with the former offering up to 105 hours of battery life.

thanks for the review.

Question: I remember back then (we're talking maybe 15/20 years ago) something to the effect of 1000hz polling was taxing on the CPU, and was deemed unnecessary at the time for gaming (against 150 or 125hz something like that), and yet we were fragging hard!

Now that I see 8000hz polling, I keep wondering if this is not counter-productive/useless/marketing. Does anyone know the answer (regarding the CPU)?

If this was $80 or less this would be a good sell. Still gotta deal with standard Armory Crate though.

EDIT: Amazon US has it on sale for $110. Still not $80 but better than $130.

To be honest, I opened the review only out of curiosity to see the price...

Actually a white mouse might be better for microbiophobics, it has to be cleaned every few days. Just joking.
