Asus ROG Keris II Ace design and build
The Asus ROG Keris II Ace has been made to be as lightweight as possible for speed and maneuverability in FPS games; it weighs just a measly 1.9 ounces (54 grams). The solid back is made from lightweight nylon but it feels remarkably like plastic — it’s the same material as you’ll find in the ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition.
A symmetrical shape that molds to the contours of your hand delivers optimum comfort and peak control.
With six programmable buttons, the Keris II Ace offers a command load on par with other competitive gaming mice of its ilk. The two main clicks are made from premium PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) material, which means they’re hardier than plastic mouse buttons.
They feature ROG Optical Micro Switches with a very quick actuation speed and are rated for a long 100 million click durability.
