ASUS has introduced the ROG Harpe Mouse, a new gaming mouse that offers gamers an improved aiming experience on PC through its integration with Aimlabs software.
The mouse offers automatic DPI calibration and other tweaks to enhance the gaming experience. ASUS has carefully designed the ROG Harpe Mouse to enhance almost every aspect of gameplay, including its outer shell and inner sensor.
The mouse weighs only 55 grams and offers three connectivity modes, including wired USB, a low-latency 2.4GHz connection, and Bluetooth.
The package includes additional rubber stickers that can be applied to the mouse to provide grip and an additional set of bottom sliders for those who are particular about the glide.
The mouse has a standard button layout that includes mechanical switches, some RGB on the mouse wheel, and two side thumb buttons.
Underneath, there is a DPI switch to toggle on the fly, a pairing button, the switch to change the connection mode, the sensor in the middle of the mouse, and a tiny USB used for the wireless dongle mode.
The mouse is incredibly lightweight, and its mechanical buttons and 36,000-dpi sensor are surprising, considering how light the mouse is.
The main clicks felt a bit heavy, and the slippery plastic did not gel too well with the weight of the mouse, but the rubber stickers can help resolve this issue.
The ASUS ROG Hone Mousepad is 508mm by 420mm and 3mm thick, featuring a strong rubber backing that prevents it from sliding around the table.
The mousepad boasts a protective nano-coating to prevent water and oil damage and is easy to clean. The only standout feature on the mousepad is the measurement markings, which work in partnership with Aimlab to help players train and improve their aim.
ASUS ROG Harpe Mouse’s design does not do anything different and is just pretty basic. The big selling point is the settings and Aimlabs integration.
ASUS has included all the settings in Armoury Crate that players need to tweak the mouse to their liking. There is a robust list of settings, including mouse button mapping, DPI, acceleration, and deceleration. Players can also adjust angle snapping and calibrate the mouse for a specific mousepad surface.
The calibration feature does not include the Hone mousepad as an option on the list. Players can choose from a range of other ASUS mousepads, but for some reason, the pad designed for this mouse was not included.
Aimlabs integration is another factor to consider. Aimlabs is a free game slash app that enables players to run daily target shooting exercises to improve their accuracy across their games.
The mouse unlocks additional features in the app, including four tests that are available on this mouse in Aimlabs: sensitivity, Mouse DPI, angle tuning, and lift-off distance. Each test takes a few minutes and provides a recommended setting based on how quickly players shot targets and followed a floating box.
In conclusion, the ASUS ROG Harpe Mouse is a gaming mouse that integrates with the popular Aimlabs software to offer some cool features for gamers, including automatic DPI calibration and other tweaks to improve the PC gaming experience.
The mouse has been carefully designed to enhance almost every aspect of gameplay, and its lightweight and standard button layout makes it easy to use. Although the design of the mouse is not unique, its settings and Aimlabs integration make it a must-have for any gamer looking to improve their aiming skills.
