ASUS ROG Keris Optical Gaming Mouse Review

ASUS is one of the biggest names in the PC gaming business, with many of the best, fastest, and most powerful gaming graphics cards, motherboards, coolers, monitors, and much more beyond. They’ve got some truly incredible peripherals too, tailored to match the enthusiast gamers that tend to invest in ASUS ROG hardware for their home gaming needs and even in the world of eSports. With that in mind, the new KERIS gaming mouse has a big reputation to live up to!

It likely won’t surprise you to find out this mouse is exceptionally well equipped. Firstly, it features the new ROG Micro Switch. Rated at 70M clicks, these gold-plated switches promise exceptional performance. They even use the ASUS Push-Fit tech, but we’ll see that in action later.

“ROG Keris boasts the new ROG Micro Switch with a 70M-click lifespan and gold-plated electro-junction for improved durability and longevity. Strict ROG manufacturing standards ensure each individual switch is inspected and sorted, with both left and right switches paired to keep force deviation between +/- 5 gf for a consistent click feel.” – ASUS

That’s just the start too, as the mouse comes with a powerful ROG-tuned 16,000 DPI optical sensor, a lightweight 62-gram design, PBT polymer control surfaces, Paracord cable sleeving, and much more. It’s ticking all the right boxes for a competition-worthy gaming mouse.
