One thing to note: do not install Armoury Crate!

[@ZZZ-dt6mf]

Why?

[@MlDVS]

@@ZZZ-dt6mf its basically a virus just like razer synapse

[@Rossirox46]

@@ZZZ-dt6mf Because this software is total crap. And it is not that easy to delete it completely from your PC.

[@ExponentJustin]

Almost made this mistake last night with my new keris!

[@TheMostSavageOfAllGeese]

What is your monitor of choice for your fps gaming ?

[@tommylawler1128]

Would love to see your setup used on older mice like Viper Ultimate and see how much progress we're actually seeing in that space year to year.

[@bigmack10]

Great review, psyched to check out these mice.

[@creaturedanaaaaa]

I've seen a harpe on display and in hand it just feels like the natural progression of the G Pro Wireless shape

[@VoltaReviews]

Awesome review and performance comparisons Haus! ❤‍🔥 Tempted to get the Keris since it is hot swap. I would like to test out some switches easily and the performance aspect is a bonus

[@shusui9665]

why did i note see this channel earlier. thx and nice video!

[@Ivanical]

I learned something really good here. Looking at your grip on the DAV3 made me review how I'm holding that mouse and found out why it was uncomfortable for me. Now I can enjoy my DAV3 AND my Asus ROG Harpe ace.

[@michaelwallace1347]

Awesome vid Haus! Do you have any plans to do a top 10 pro overwatch peripherals vid?

[@mike_nba]

Thank you for this review Haus! your channel is criminally underated! Basically covered everything about these, no other channel talked about! I was expecting criminal prices from Asus but they got it right ngl! Keris seems like the better deal as it has a unique shape and hotswap switches making it last basically for ever, for just 100 Euros!

[@hausgaming]

Thanks for the comment brother! Hot-swap sockets increasing the product age is a good point that I actually did not think about!

[@Chef_PewPew]

Haus, If you like the Keris. You should check out the Gladius III aimpoint. That one might have the room your looking for for relaxed claw.

[@87fixxxer]

haus, great video as always, thumbs up! One thing I would like to see is a v2pro or DAV3 at 1000hz in the chart for motion latency.

[@hausgaming]

Let's see if I have time to confirm that for the next video!

[@Ico938]

Tried the Harpe Ace recently which was on sale in a local store for 125 euro and I had no idea why I performed so well with it but now it makes sense. sadly had to return it because I got pain from the mouse being too long and flares out at the top so my fingers kept gliding down on the slippery coating. It's odd they decided to go with such an odd length and design when they were basically copying logitech's homework already and just needed to play it safe.

[@MrSofSof]

Hot swap Switches is a really nice Feature! Thx for the Video!

[@SavaJeZz]

hey haus! great vid on this. just wondering, were u able to achieve those great latency results without having to install Armoury Crate to update the firmware/adjust debounce? I wanna avoid having to do those lol

[@phucnguyen0110]

Just got a Harpe Ace on sale about 2 days ago :D Very satisfied with the purchase

[@kmow0909]

for 130$?

[@ZandoNoid]

Great to see the specs are great. Very unfortunate the shapes didn't work for you, because the OG Keris shape is the reason i got the aimpoint. Coming from an mm720 that is exactly what i was expecting.

[@47vito]

I ordered the harpe today hoping it will fix my issues i had with the superlight main issue was it was just not long enough im clicking the clicks on the literal edge and the feeling is awful when i was younger gpx was perfect but as my hands got bigger (im quite tall) my grip became shitty praying this fixes my issue

[@-ixsa1le-527]

Thank you bro;)

[@---cs8nt]

nice video, which benq setting du u use for browsing video and for games csgo? u have zowie share file?

[@RedHeadedCannon]

They have impressive quality control and implementation of technology but what bums the hell out of me with aSUS's patent for hot-swappable mouse switches is it limits the potential of other mice. Like what Haus said, the shapes of ROG mice are the last thing they probably thought about. How long does a patent last these days? I want to be able to switch my X2's and Atlantis OG's switches on the fly, goddangit!

[@6a6uHBHyK]

Own Hapre Ice and while tech is top edge, shape is very weird, especially back bump - still can't adjust to it after two weeks, Viper is much more comfortable.

[@yogirizki3529]

hi Haus, apparently i do have the exact same hand size and the exact same way to grip a mouse like you do. may i ask you what is your main mouse currently?

[@VincenT-qh9le]

would u recommend this transitioning from prime wireless i found out its too bulky on the left side of my hand of the prime, or any other recommendations?

[@diogob.6358]

Great review! Keep it up! One question though: between the EC2-C (or CW) and the Keris, which one would you recommend? I play with palm grip and my hands are 18 x 10 cm.

[@hausgaming]

I prefer the ZOWIE EC2 shape, so I'd prolly pick that!

[@diogob.6358]

@@hausgaming thanks!

[@Fo1ds]

Time to become an asus gamer.

Damn, I'm surprised. I've always steered well clear of anything Asus (and similar companies) when it comes to peripherals but this looks damn impressive!

[@raddgreatrad1654]

Where is your own top 5 of gaming mice haus ? I thot u make a video about it

[@diodebridge]

How's the middle mouse click?

[@Rokemikal]

cant slam click my outset hopefully that translates to the wireless version.

[@kyurem8466]

Personally i did have LOD issues but might just be my copy.

[@chibiribiri]

Just wanted the ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Keyboard and just got the ROG Harpe Ace free bundled with it. So 190 euro here in germany for a lp mechanical wireless keyboard and a good mouse. Think i got a deal. Don't miss my old G Pro Wireless (not Superlight). :)

[@maxmouse3]

I'm surprised. I have a harpe and for palm grip with my hands it feels very comfortable. But of course I'm nowhere near a pro to claim anything about latency but I love the mouse. Replaced my Glorious O Wireless very well :)

[@hausgaming]

Even if we had the same exact hand size and grip style, it's still very much possible that you like a shape and I don't! Shape is extremely subjective

[@eloleroo5646]

what is your hand size?

[@wetdog3675]

This mouse(harpe ace) is for those people who prefer za12, it is basically a slightly longer za12 clone, I bought it yesterday and I was really impressed by its performance. The only mouse that will be better for me is a 55-60 g 3395 sensor wireless za12 but zowie won't make it any time soon, which is unfortunate

[@renatotoze]

what? o no its not, check it on mouse shape comparisson

[@WorldKeepsSpinnin]

Not even close to a ZA shape

[@user-xw5zz9ii7z]

It really feels pretty close to za12

[@sharkosaurfps]

Would Keris be possible to ftip? Seems to be relatively short but has an ergo shape

[@hausgaming]

In terms of shape, the Keris is one of the better ergos for ftip... But imo it's a bit too heavy for ftip!

[@krasimirmiroslavov7330]

Can u suggest me wireless mouse with close shape/feeling like zowie s1 if tested 1 before.What u think vaxee XE ,np-01 or this on asus which one is closest.

[@user-xw5zz9ii7z]

Np-01 is the closest I think

[@Masoch1st]

i would never buy this but it is very cool nonetheless. haus once again proving why he is the pinnacle of gaming peripheral reviews

[@hausgaming]

Appreciate the comment brother!

[@Ares-iu7et]

So we can to say that both are the same?

[@kaijing6300]

Hey! Haus, I have a question: 19 x 10 cm hand, relaxed claw grip, fps & moba games, which mouse shall I main? Sooooooooooo confused. Thank you

[@hausgaming]

Many amazing ones! Superlight is possibly one of the better ones you can get at the moment. EGG XM2we provides great value for money, there are so many options tbh! X2 Medium, DAV3 Pro etc

[@kaijing6300]

@@hausgaming okay! thanks. I'm kinda swifting between XE wireless and superlight right now, which one you prefer more for relaxed claw?

[@raident29]

i got the harpe ace for 80$ here in the philippines

[@renatotoze]

Can't stress this enough, shape is personal, the back hump that makes you uncomfortable in your lower palm is very similar to dpx you can check it on mouse shape comp. and is overall a very similar design to the gpx changing only its shorter and its lower on m1 and m2 buttons. Apart from very opinionated shape opinion its a great review, well done!

[@hausgaming]

This is actually nothing like the GPX! You can easily tell once you hold both in hand. Thoughts about shape are always very opinionated and based on hand size.

[@bilalbaig760]

Should I get the Keris Aimpoint? I can see it on discount at the moment for $79.99 in my country.

[@Rodrigo_A1]

Yeah. It's a banger and very underrated. If u can get one without QC issues, go 4 it.

[@sharkosaurfps]

Honestly very surprised Asus is the top dog in latency for 1khz. Unfortunately the shape is not for me, but might be worth a try!

[@hausgaming]

To be fair, top dog for click latency! VAXEE still the fastest 1KHz mouse for motion!

[@m4g153]

the harpe is literally a long hts+

[@user-of9fp2fl2j]

does the asus logo light up? i wish it does

[@gaetnus7423]

hi, no it does not, only the scroll wheel does.

[@NeoCyrus777]

Aren't Asus the patent trolls who are prevent other companies from releasing mice with swappable switches...

[@in027754]

Shape is really disappointing but I can see these specs are very dope especially for the price point. Can't wait to see the future releases from Asus!

[@hausgaming]

To be fair, it's still good that they are doing something unique, and not just copying some proven shapes like almost every other brand!

[@Great-Chief-Apache]

Can confirm - the hump was burning my hand after 1hr of use had to sed it back....otherwise great mouse

[@VLLN.]

Tried both these feel exactly the same about both shapes. Keris shape just sucks overall. Harpe is actually a great shape just needs to be shorter idk why tf they made it so long.

[@wetdog3675]

Harpe is a slightly longer za12 clone, ofc the shape is great, if they made it 124-125 mm instead of 127 it would have been perfect for those of us who use za12

[@njutarn8381]

doesnt even lay flat on the table

[@bubuTANK]

Dear Hausgaming! I bought the mouse yesterday along with the "designed" rog hone ace mouse pad. I don't know.. unfortunately I did everything based on the guide, but I'm experiencing a little latency problem with the mouse in CS2.. When I have to turn suddenly, the whole thing stops in the middle, the normal movement does not take place.. I would never give a chance to a wireless mouse.. because that's exactly what I was afraid of.. I KNEW it would happen.. the worst thing is that I also experienced this in "wired" usb mode. Has anyone experienced something similar? Maybe the Armoury Crate is the issue?.. if I do not use it, than how to set mouse options? dpi etc..?

[@hausgaming]

Set all the settings, and FULLY get rid of the Armoury Crate! It's absolute dog shit, most likely the cause for any delay in the feel, be it wireless or wired!

[@bubuTANK]

I did the uninstall.. still experiencing some delay 1 or 2 time / cs2 match.. I will send this mice back.. sad story.. can't recommend to anyone regarding driver/software/delay issue.. for this price it should work like magic...THANk you very much for your kind response.@@hausgaming​

Harper will be perfect for me , I have huge hands lol 😂

[@tehjamerz]

(Shockingly shocking)

[@hausgaming]

Controversially shocking

[@ared18t]

The white Harpe Ace and Keris are so sexy haha

[@jiehu1337]

So the total latency = motion + click?

[@hausgaming]

Sorry, what do you mean?

[@jiehu1337]

@@hausgaming I saw there are two measurements when you review the mice performance: motion latency and click latency. So if you consider two together would be total latency?

[@shinningkitty]

Just bought Keris aimpoint wireless for 27 dollars with cashback bonus from asus / its the best mouse for the value. Had Alienware 610M (its a beast mouse) but I love to change things so this option was the best.

[@homi1001]

Anytime I watch your videos you seem to tell us that considering the performance the GPX is still one of the best mice out there.

[@Krrom1]

not the best but the safest

[@phutrinh686]

over price... next...

[@Terra101]

Harpe took the problems with the GPX and exageratted them even further.

[@Terra101]

Shame on me. Have tried the mouse now and I love the shape.

[@Terra101]

Sent it back because of bad quality, squeeking clicks and loose shell. A shame :(

[@kaizzuu_]

Keris shape felt very unnatural and strange to me as well.

[@user-vk2rw4pz8r]

Where X2 Bruce Lee in test?

[@hausgaming]

Same latency as normal X2

[@user-vk2rw4pz8r]

@@hausgaming Same click latency with optical switches?

[@hausgaming]

@@user-vk2rw4pz8r Yes, the limiting factor here is the firmware, not the components!

[@whoisthatthingwhat]

@@user-vk2rw4pz8r even with good firmware latency would still be same as eager mech switches, optical is a scam

[@mining_steve]

i hate Asus for patenting the hotswap mouseswitch design such a anti consumer move

[@Katze822228]

doesn't really matter because optical switches are the future and they are inherently hotswapable. Brands just can't advertise it i guess

[@AmirChemE]

XM2we is better than both ASUS mice !

[@hausgaming]

In some aspects, yes!

[@AmirChemE]

@@hausgaming hi haus, would you get the xm2we or the viper v2 pro (82 euros) ? XM2we feels more premium but Viper has slightly better performance. both shapes are nice to me.

[@MeYe2]

Why do you like lighter clicks this much? They are very easy to misclick and aren't needed in FPS games you mostly play. Heavier switches should be better for the shooter games most competitive players tend to play.

[@hausgaming]

What do you mean "aren't needed in FPS games"? This makes no sense to me, lighter clicks -> easier to spam and the overall feel will be more responsive.

[@MeYe2]

@@hausgaming Most of the time you are spraying in FPS games. Which means you'll wait for a period of time, then you start and hold the click. There should be no "spamming" while playing fps games. MOBA's and RTS's are a different story.

[@8020Alive]

​@@MeYe2huh? Read haus response.

[@Katze822228]

lighter clicks = less real world click latency I just upgraded from the g403 to a DAV3 wired. The g403 has 4ms click latency. I've been using it for 5 years so the clicks are very worn out and light. The DAV3 with 8khz and optical switches probably has less than 1ms click latency but heavier clicks. But if i do humanbenchmark my reaction times are consistently better with the g403 that has higher click latency but lighter clicks.
