ASUS x r/MouseReview Gear to the Extreme Giveaway with the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme, ROG Keris II Ace, and ROG Harpe Ace Mini!
Happy Holidays Everyone! We have an exclusive giveaway for the r/MouseReview community.
**Before I get into that, ASUS is currently running a separate global giveaway for ROG peripherals called Gear to the Extreme which is still open until December 31st. I will cover the GttE promotion a bit more at the bottom of the post or you can message me if you have questions, but I want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to enter before it expires.*\*
Now, back to the r/MouseReview giveaway. ASUS is giving away one ROG Harpe Ace Extreme, one ROG Keris II Ace, and one ROG Harpe Ace Mini to three lucky winners (one mouse per person) chosen by random selection among eligible entries. This giveaway will be open until January 9 at 11:59pm (PT), at which point it will be locked so I can determine the winners.

Mouse Shapes -
One of the most critical choices when choosing a gaming mouse is the shape. Shape affects comfort, grip, grip styles, and your ability to use the mouse as an extension of your hand. Each of these mice has a distinctive shape and design to accommodate different play styles and also features anti-slip mouse tape to help you achieve a perfect grip for extended gaming sessions.
Using the EloShapes comparison tool, here's a look at how the mice stack up:
Starting with the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme, the semi-symmetrical mouse features a slightly different location for the hump compared to the original ROG Harpe Ace Aimlab Edition. However, the carbon fiber composite provides a firm shell that can absorb force while retaining a 47-gram weight.
The ROG Keris II Ace is designed with an ergonomic shape to deliver maximum comfort and better control. The sides are sloped inwards to provide a solid, effortless grip, while the extended side ledge gives you extra room to rest your ring finger. The side buttons are positioned for better thumb accessibility.
The ROG Harpe Ace Mini is also a semi-symmetrical mouse in the profile of the standard Harpe Ace, but is shorter in length with a shallower hump, which can be more beneficial for fingertip grips.
The ROG Gaming Mice Essentials
ROG Harpe Ace Extreme
The ROG Harpe Ace Extreme is a stunner. At only 47g, the mouse is extremely light and remarkably strong due to its carbon fiber shell. The left and right buttons are cut out from separate pieces of carbon fiber and skillfully matched to ensure the weave patterns on the shell match up at the most aesthetically pleasing angles, meaning that each Harpe Ace Extreme is unique to its owner.
Other features:
- A TTC Gold scroll wheel encoder provides pronounced tactility and stops with up to 1 million cycles.
- Corning Gorilla Glass Mouse Feet are included for cloth mouse pad users looking for smoother and more effortless movements.

ROG Keris II Ace
The ROG Keris II Ace is an ergonomic gaming mouse that provides a comfortable grip whether you're hours into a gaming session or need precise control to finish a project. With a bio-based nylon shell design that keeps it at a still ultra-lightweight 54g, the Keris II Ace requires little effort to move the mouse into position or flick it across your mousepad.
- Available in black and moonlight white

ROG Harpe Ace Mini
The ROG Harpe Ace Mini fits everything you'd want in a mini-size pro gaming mouse without sacrificing performance or adding extra weight. Matching the performance specs and features of the Harpe Ace Extreme and Keris II Ace, the Harpe Ace Mini has a shape that fits a wider spectrum of handshapes and grip types. At 49g, the mouse is easy to move for smooth and fast movements.
New to ROG gaming mice, the Harpe Ace Mini also features an all-new smooth matte coating that delivers a premium look and superior grip. It effectively manages sweat and grease, ensuring an anti-slip grip and steady control, not to mention the feel enhances the overall tactile experience.
