Description
The ASUS ROG Keris II Origin represents a pinnacle in ergonomic engineering, weighing only 65 grams without sacrificing structural integrity. Designed in collaboration with esports professionals, its refined shape accommodates various grip styles while housing the ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor. This sensor provides a 42,000 DPI resolution with less than 1% CPI deviation, ensuring that every micro-movement is translated with absolute fidelity, even when used on glass surfaces. The integration of ROG SpeedNova wireless technology ensures stable, low-latency performance, while the ROG Polling Rate Booster allows for reporting rates up to 8000Hz, providing the near-instantaneous feedback required for competitive gaming.
This product is for:
This peripheral is optimized for five distinct user profiles:
- Competitive FPS athletes who require the 8000Hz polling rate and 65g lightweight frame for rapid flick shots and minimal fatigue.
- Hardware enthusiasts who value the ROG Push-Fit Switch Socket II, allowing for easy replacement of the 100-million-click ROG Micro Switches to customize click feel.
- Multi-device power users who need to transition seamlessly between 2.4GHz RF, Bluetooth 5.1, and wired USB 2.0 modes across different workstations.
- Streamers and creators who demand aesthetic customization through 3-zone Aura Sync RGB lighting and a clean Moonlight White or Black finish.
- Precision-focused gamers who utilize the included ROG anti-slip mouse grip tape for maximum control during high-intensity maneuvers.

The user experience is defined by tactile responsiveness and fluid movement. The ROG Micro Switch II provides a consistent, crisp click feel, while the internal Push-Fit sockets allow users to swap in traditional 3-pin mechanical switches if preferred. Movement is facilitated by the ROG Paracord and high-grade PTFE feet, which minimize friction on both cloth and hard pads. On-board control allows for immediate adjustment of DPI, polling rate, and hardware resets without the need for software, though full customization is available via the Armoury Crate interface for macro mapping and lighting synchronization.
When compared to standard wireless gaming mice, the Keris II Origin distinguishes itself through its sensor versatility and superior polling capabilities. While many lightweight mice compromise on features to save weight, the Keris II Origin retains tri-mode connectivity and swappable switch sockets. Its AimPoint Pro sensor outperforms industry standards by maintaining tracking accuracy on glass, a feat typically reserved for high-end productivity mice, yet it delivers the sub-1ms latency required for professional gaming via the SpeedNova protocol.
