ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Mini Review

Shape



Instead of simply scaling down the regular Harpe Ace uniformly, ASUS has chosen a different approach on the Harpe Ace Mini. Whereas the front, back, and grip width are largely retained, the Harpe Ace Mini is far shorter, and also has a lower hump, though the hump curvature and centered location are kept. As a result, the Harpe Ace Mini doesn't lend itself necessarily better to smaller hands, and rather is better suited for a more aggressive claw grip. Of note is that the side buttons on the Harpe Ace Mini are much smaller compared to the regular Harpe Ace, and the scroll wheel no longer stands slightly raised, resulting in the main buttons no longer having comfort grooves as deep. Overall, the adjustments can be called a success, as where the regular Harpe Ace could seem overly long, the shape of the Harpe Ace Mini is more harmonious.


As for grip styles, I'd say the Harpe Ace Mini is mainly suited for claw and fingertip grip. It is a medium to small-sized mouse with a barely pronounced hump, which should make it suit most hand sizes. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the Harpe Ace Mini very comfortable in claw grip.
