I picked up the Keris wired off Amazon for $23 a year or two ago and ADORED the effort and quality despite the shape feeling like it was made for four year olds - especially with how the buttons curve over the sides _so much._ But I'll never get rid of it because sometimes I'll pull it out and play with it to see if my grip has evolved to be able to use it; and I honestly COULD use it, but only if I take it apart and trim down the overhand from the button paddles so I can hold the thing and not get my grippin' fingers in the way. So it's really awesome to see they've evolved this design so much to be something even more usable at this small-ish size. The ability to swap switches was really my favorite feature, but since this mouse has hopped the optical hype-train, we don't get that. If they kept standard switches and and made this hotswap, this mouse would have likely been THE shmedium ero mouse to get. Maybe a non-ace version will come along soon. Fingies crossed!
Now if only people didn't mock wires out of existence, I'd be able to try this out at a reasonable price instead of paying for features that work so hard to exist on parity with a stinking wire. Oh, and bluetooth for the singular fact of being able to artificially gloat about battery life unobtainable in 2.4ghz mode 🙄haha
Yes! Measuring the width at the middle both from below and from above is a very good idea. Glad to see so many measures, it's much better than just length, height and one width, thank you. Please keep doing it like that for future reviews.
I like the new format, too.
Been waiting for this
Hello, is the mouse/scroll wheel same with the ROG Keris Wireless? Thank you
There is a lot to love about this mouse, for example I like the "4k adapter" & the 1 dongle for the keyboard+mouse solution, but $150 is way overpriced imo (as all the ROG products).
If you are not a ROG / ASUS fanboy you can have the Xlitev3 or the Lamzu Thorn for 100$. Maybe this mouse is better -for your preferences- but I am sure not worth the extra 50% price (yes, they priced 100$ without the 4k dongle, but the dongle is usually 20$ waste of money and you wont notice the difference anyway).
hi, wat's the actuation force of the clicks? Thanks.
3:30 you weigh the ROG Keris II twice and it comes out with two different weights 2g apart, that instrument might be a bit inconsistent.
probably one of them had the usb dongle inside the mouse
Thanks for the heads up. I gotta check into that, might be time for a new one. 👍
It's a postal scale, they're not meant to handle precise weighting of individual things *below* a certain threshold of 11 ounces or whatever. They're meant to weight packages, haha. He's used postal scales in the past and it confused me because of that haha. So yeah, something more like a jeweler's or kitchen scale is going to give the precision he's looking for in measuring these things consistently 👍
Cheers dude great review
Thanks
I'm between the EC2-CW, Xlite V3, and Vaxee Ax Wireless. I really don't like holes in the bottom of mice, or it'd be no question V3 at $100.
Would you recommend this to larger handed users? Or do they have larger sizes?
My main was Steelseries Rival 310, where I used to Palm / Relaxed Claw it.
Tried to transition to an xtrfy m4 wireless with a relaxed claw, but i feel it's a bit slim for me.
No, it’s a pinch smaller
I love your reviews but just a minor critique. You don't use calipers correctly. You can use the full length of the caliper arms to measure the widest point. Instead you are just eyeing and guessing a single point to measure and using the narrow width of the caliper arms.
I just measure it where I grip it
You need to review the Gladius III wireless Aimpoint! I just picked one up and I’m loving it.
Not many people would buy it unfortunately, review won't get much views.
I got one, I like it but I wish it weighs 10g lighter. This look like a good alternative to that so I will be swapping to the Keris II, most people will.
Is there a release Date? Cause I am Really interested in this one!
That was a Pro review 👍
Finally an ASUS review. I've been waiting for this.
Alguno riene el link de compra por amazon ?
how do you feel about this mouse compared to the thorn?
the thorn is more plump/rounded. This feels a little smaller
@@TheTechne tyvm! i think that means this mouse may be for me since i would like the thorn to be a littttle bigger.
Whats the best decoder license to buy on the xbox series x for headsets I brought steelseries nova 7x based on yor recommendations picked them up new for £80 from a pawnbrokers so good deal 😊 was gonna buy the pros but nova 7x gives more options with less fuss
Dolby digital or dtx what gives the best sound as want to buy a decoder for the nova 7x dunno if u have done a video on this subject
Love yor videos keep up the good work
US release date?
is it out yet? i cant find anywhere to buy it
Is this possible to write macros into mouse onboard-memory?
The Techne not wearing his iconic cap? Ah yes! April 1st.
Very similar to Lamzu Thorn
We do offer trimode, superior battery life, and higher performing sensor, more hardware (on mouse) customization options, included grip tape, lighter weight cable and extender for OMNI receiver.
Hope this helps.
No, I would say the thorn is a bit more plump, more similar to the Xlite.
@@TheTechne ha ok … thanks bro
Another Asus mouse with a premium price tag and dollar store coating
Until ASUS makes a concerted effort to streamline their Armoury Crate software, I will *NEVER* install another one of their peripherals on my PC. Their software is so bad that it should be considered spyware/malware by Microsoft.
You don't even have to use the software
@@mmayojr- wrong. The mouse requires a firmware update (bug fixes). Once that is done you are correct that "settings" can be changed without it. So people are having to update it on burner laptops and school computers - then making adjustments....but why bother with these hoops?
The software literally uses Internet bandwidth to phone home and excessive CPU cycles when computers idle - and can't be uninstalled fully - it's practically spyware.
@@8020Alive You don't need software for this. I bought the three latest ASUS mice (Gladius III, original Keris, Impact III wireless) and I can set the DPI, polling, LoD, profiles, LEDs, etc via the mouse bottom-plate's buttons. Software is only needed for firmware or custom RGB which you can save onto the onboard memory and then uninstall the software.
There is a lightweight version of the Armoury Crate (2MB - Framework version) which ASUS for some reason not advertising where it will only download the required content for the mouse and prevents it from being bloatware, everyone I seen seems to be installing the full version which is like 3GB.
I been using the framework version and is not running in the background at all. I paid for NetLimiter which tracks all internet traffic and Armoury Crate isn't sending/receiving packets anywhere at all.
I recently installed it and it took a solid 5 mins, but that wasn't the end. I still had to update it with several things and restart my pc, which took another 7 mins. And then i find out that if i uninstall or stop running armoury crate, the light settings does not save. So i had to install and use their separate Aura Sync software instead, which throws a bunch of other stuff onto my pc that i had to uninstall separately after. Almost 17 mins just to change the lights on my pc. I'm sorry Asus, i like your products but armoury crate is complete trash.
In truth it's the opposite, it was RAZER who copied ASUS ROG, THE GLADIUS 2 that I have and which came out well before, is a clone of the DAV 3 PRO... it is also much better worked than the dav 3 pro with an exceptional hand lock (with lizard grip) despite the weight. Asus are experts in mice much more than Razer and much further ahead!
More of a outset ax wireless clone?
Edit, i see dimension wise more of a thorn clone which to me is a plus!
In short - it's a kiddie mouse :)
strix battery are shit
Battery life is very good offering superior performance compared to many competitors, the THORN is 80 hours vs our 100+ hours.
@@ASUSUSA when will it be available in the US? I love my harpe ace and felt like it was overlooked in the peripheral community. Interested in trying the Ergo with the same scroll wheel implementation with better switches and 4k wireless!
@@ASUSUSA and thorn is $50 cheaper 2g lighter
Don’t compare asus with zowie 😊asus better for sure
zowie mice doesn't need a chinese looking software
How is Asus better ? Zowie comes without a software that can destroy your whole system and is a pain to get rid off
Also the new U2 is insane, sure they don't have 4k pollingrate , but tbh it's not that huge
I take a perfectly crafted sensor all the time over a 4k pollingrate
I played with 2,4,8k on my 360hz BenQ and sure you feel it but If you don't have a CPU for that , it's srsly not worth it and lots of games won't even support 4k
Btw if you won't change your dpi to at least 1600 or above 4k is useless anyway
And so far many still prefer 800dpi , hell even 400dpi
@@d4nn313 You don't need software for this one too. I bought the three latest ASUS mice (Gladius III, original Keris, Impact III wireless) and I can set the DPI, polling, LoD, profiles, LEDs, etc via the mouse bottom-plate's buttons. Software is only needed for firmware or custom RGB which you can save onto the onboard memory and then uninstall the software.
@@BlackRay313 I got the U2 a month ago, honestly one limitation I got with it is that the motion latency is higher compared to 4Khz mice such as the Superlight 2 and Pulsar's. When you try to track opponent's A-D-A-D spam strafing in Overwatch, it felt a bit delayed, I went back to my Superlight 2 and Pulsar for instantaneous tracking, hitting a bit more shots as Soldier 76.
@@paul2609did you activate fast clicks , and put debounce time on 2ms ? Cause i know many people forget to activate that on their zowies , and playing fast track shooters like OW with 8.5ms is pretty shit xD
First
I would love if ASUS improve the software, it looks dated and full of shit we dont need.
42k dpi omg
I prefer mine Viper V3 HS with up to 280 hours of battery life
280 hours only in 1000hz mode and a heavier AA battery. More like 80 hours in realistic use case (4Khz, AAA battery) which is pretty much in line with other 4Khz mice.
you rold videos are better thi svideo seemed older and dated
I think u hit spacebar a bit early a few times here.
Asus always makes the best hardware with the worst software
You don't need to use software for their mice, they have adjustable settings via buttons on the bottom plate.
@@paul2609 Or use Armoury crate Gear version of the software.
