Buttons, Scroll Wheel

Main buttons are pretty good on the Carry, although the removable, rather small top cover makes for high tolerances resulting in less crisp button feedback. Surprisingly, there pretty much isn't any pre-travel; however, a good amount of post-travel after actuation exists. The main clicks still feel pretty good and snappy, especially if you swap to the spare switches. The mouse is equipped with the switch-socket system from ASUS, which allows for the main switches to be hot-swapped easily, and they even give you a set of tweezers for the task. This is extremely handy, and with all due honesty definitely the most underrated feature among gaming mice nowadays. The ability to change the most problematic part without a hassle is just fantastic. The stock main switches are Chinese Omron D2FC-F-K models rated for 50 million clicks, and the spare ones are Japanese Omron D2F-01F switches with more crisp and tactile feedback. The latter are also a tad lighter and have slightly higher plungers, which reduces pre-travel even further.


This small mouse got a relatively small scroll wheel, which tends to do its job perfectly. As mentioned before, its top part has the same Mayan-textured rubberization as most ROG mice. Scrolling is very tactile and snappy, with a medium-light resistance, so in my book, it's ideal for both browsing and precision tasks. The encoder is a 10 mm tall gray core Kailh model.


The middle mouse button is alright; it has a short travel and, as per usual, slightly higher actuation force than the main clickers. It operates with a standard square switch.


The side buttons are decent, especially if we consider their design. They have some unnecessary pre-travel, but their overall click-feel is not bad at all, and they can be spammed comfortably, although the feedback is a bit mushy. They operate with small tactile switches of medium tension.


Lastly, the CPI-changer is pretty much the same as the side buttons in terms of feel, though a tad lighter and with much shorter travel. Its switch is an elevated square model.

I also made a video in order to demonstrate how the buttons sound:

Mouse Feet

Just like the Gladius, the Carry glides on the same four feet that have a design very similar to Microsoft's IntelliMouse family. These feet are better than the greater average; they glide smoothly with relatively low friction and have pretty well-rounded contact edges. Unfortunately, there are no replacements in the box, which is a bit of a letdown at this price point.

Disassembling

Disassembling the mouse isn't hard, but it was tricky to find all the screws. After removing the top cover, you need to extract two screws from the front—these are exposed—and two from beneath the stickers of the battery holders. All four have Philips-heads and are of the same size, and upon removing them, you can simply pop the two main shell parts apart. The upper shell doesn't have any electronics, and there is no internal wiring, which is a surprise, though a welcome one for sure. All in all, the internal design is very plain and simple, making DIY-modifications or repairs exceptionally easy.
