ASUS continues its push into the high-performance mouse market with the ROG Harpe Ace Mini – Standard Edition, a featherlight wireless mouse built for serious gamers who prioritize speed, precision, and comfort over RGB or unnecessary gimmicks. With a 54g solid shell, esports-grade sensor, and tri-mode connectivity, the Harpe Ace Mini is tailored for competitive players—especially those in FPS and fast-paced multiplayer titles.
Design and Build Quality
The Harpe Ace Mini skips the RGB and flashy branding in favor of a clean, minimalist aesthetic. It retains the same ultralight 54g design and solid nylon shell found in the Aim Lab version, giving you a premium feel without the fragility of perforated “honeycomb” shells.
Its symmetrical, low-profile shape is optimized for claw and fingertip grip users, making it an excellent fit for competitive FPS play. While it’s not a true ambidextrous mouse (side buttons are only on the left), it offers great ergonomics for right-handed gamers with smaller hands or those who favor fast, controlled flicks and swipes.
Performance and Specs
Don’t let the minimalist looks fool you—the Harpe Ace Mini is stacked with high-performance hardware:
-
ROG AimPoint optical sensor with up to 36,000 DPI
-
Up to 1000Hz polling rate (wired + 2.4GHz)
-
ROG SpeedNova wireless technology with <1ms latency
-
ROG Micro Switches rated for 70 million clicks
-
Tri-mode connectivity: Wired (USB-C), 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth
In testing, the tracking is pixel-perfect, with zero acceleration or jitter—even at high DPI. Whether you’re playing Valorant, CS2, or Apex Legends, the responsiveness feels crisp and consistent.
The 1000Hz polling rate might not match 4K mice like the M3 Mini with a polling dongle, but for most competitive players, it’s more than enough—especially when paired with ASUS’s fast SpeedNova 2.4GHz connection.
Software and Customization
ASUS’s Armoury Crate software to customize:
-
DPI levels and steps
-
Polling rate
-
Debounce time
-
Button remapping
-
Onboard profile storage
It’s straightforward, clean, and offers everything you need to fine-tune the mouse to your playstyle. If you’re used to more bloated software suites, Armoury Crate’s minimalism is actually a breath of fresh air.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Battery life is another strong point:
-
Up to 90 hours via 2.4GHz wireless
-
Up to 98 hours via Bluetooth
With USB-C fast charging, the Harpe Ace Mini is ready to go again after just a few minutes plugged in. Switching between wired, wireless, and Bluetooth is fast and painless, making it a flexible choice for gaming, work, and even mobile setups.
Who It’s For
-
Competitive gamers who want pro-grade performance without frills
-
FPS players who need fast flicks, low-latency response, and lightweight comfort
-
Mac/Windows users seeking multi-device support via Bluetooth
-
Minimalists who value performance over RGB
Verdict
The ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Mini (Standard Edition) delivers everything a competitive gamer needs in a sleek, ultra-light package—without distractions. While it doesn’t offer Aim Lab integration or 4000Hz polling, its rock-solid sensor, tri-mode flexibility, and excellent battery life make it one of the best lightweight wireless mice under the ROG banner.
