Name: ASUS ROG Keris II Origin Wireless Gaming Mouse
Brand: ASUS

Summary

A 65 g right-handed wireless gaming mouse with a 42,000 dpi ROG AimPoint Pro sensor, hot-swappable switches, tri-mode connectivity and up to 127 h of battery life. Check the polling setup before you buy: 8,000 Hz needs a separately sold booster, and the box ships at 1,000 Hz.

Strengths

Ergonomics suit claw and palm grips, with textured PBT-coated main buttons.
Build quality, glide and 100% PTFE feet drew consistent praise.
Hot-swap sockets let owners replace worn switches; two spares ship in the box.
Battery life runs up to 127 h in 2.4 GHz with lighting off.
Gear Link browser configuration avoids installing Armoury Crate.

Weaknesses

8,000 Hz polling requires a separately sold booster; the box defaults to 1,000 Hz.
Heavier than the Keris II Ace at 65 g versus 54 g.
Right-handed only, so left-handed users are out.
Bluetooth mode showed perceptible latency in one test.
High price relative to the missing booster, per reviewers.
Consumable feet and grip tape are not covered by warranty.

Full research notes and sources

Sensor and switches

The ROG AimPoint Pro is ASUS’s own optical sensor, rated at 42,000 dpi with 750 IPS and 50 G acceleration, and tests describe precision as excellent. DPI adjusts from 100 to 42,000 in 100-dpi steps in one test’s software, while another reports 50-dpi steps. Surface calibration, lift-off distance and angle snapping are adjustable through Armoury Crate or the browser-based Gear Link.

Battery life and polling

Battery life runs up to 127 h in 2.4 GHz with lighting off and 82 h with default lighting; Bluetooth stretches to 192 h off and 91 h on. Those figures are at 1,000 Hz. Reaching 8,000 Hz needs the separately sold ROG Polling Rate Booster, and one test table caps wireless polling at 4,000 Hz over 2.4 GHz even with the booster, versus 8,000 Hz wired. Bluetooth mode also showed perceptible latency in one test, so competitive play over Bluetooth is a poor fit.

Build, shape and upkeep

The 2 m ROG Paracord cable covers wired use, and the ROG Omni Receiver can serve multiple devices. Feet and grip tape are consumables and are not covered by warranty; switches can be replaced through the hot-swap sockets. No warranty duration for the US market was stated in the sources read.

No US retail price or MSRP appears on the manufacturer page. Review sites list Singapore prices of S$199 for the Origin against S$189 for the Keris II Ace, plus a European comparison near 136.99 EUR. The booster adds S$39 in Singapore. Where the Ace is available for less and includes the booster, it offers stronger out-of-box polling value; the Origin counters with switch replacement, 3-zone RGB and longer battery life. Value therefore depends on whether hot-swap switches and RGB matter more than out-of-box high polling. US pricing and long-term reliability remain unverified.

Which model this is

This page covers the ASUS ROG Keris II Origin Wireless Gaming Mouse in black and moonlight white, a right-handed model distinct from the ROG Keris II Ace (54 g, non-hot-swappable optical switches). No separate revision or SKU identifiers were found in the sources read. The Amazon listing for this mouse is ASIN B0FJCFFJKX. Match on the full model name to avoid mixing it with the Ace or older Keris models.
