The design of ROG Harpe Ace Mini inherits the low-key and simple style of its own Harpe Ace, and adopts a semi-symmetrical mouse-shaped design mainly for right-handed gamers. The main difference is that the size has been reduced from the original 127 x 61 x 39mm to 117 x 56 x 37mm, the lower back curvature helps fingertip grip, and can reduce the contact area between the mouse and the palm when performing precise micro-operations, allowing players with small hands to better control.

Although this ROG Harpe Ace Mini is lighter in appearance and weight, the specifications have not shrunk at all. It is also equipped with a ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor, supports up to 42,000 dpi resolution, and introduces glass surface tracking technology, which can be used almost anywhere. Surfaces lacking a mouse pad provide the best operating experience.
The connection part adopts Bluetooth, 2.4GHz RF and wired three-mode connection design, which allows more flexible selection of connection methods. The wireless connection part is used with the ROG Omni receiver and introduces ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, which is compatible with the ROG Polling Rate Booster function. , can reach a maximum polling rate of 8,000Hz in wireless connection mode, providing an ultra-low-latency wireless operation experience.

When connecting multiple ROG wireless devices, you can perform device settings on the ROG Omni page of Armory Crate Gear.
In terms of durability design, the ROG optical micro switches equipped on ROG Harpe Ace Mini can reach a lifespan of 100 million clicks. The feedback force of the left and right button and side button micro switches is more Q-elastic design, and the sound is relatively crisp and not obviously fleshy. , suitable for players who like clear feedback.
The four corners of the bottom of the ROG Harpe Ace Mini mouse and around the sensor are pre-installed with 100% PTFE mouse pads, which are configured in a small triangle and are very smooth to use.

Armory Crate Gear operation setting interface
Each function button of ROG Harpe Ace Mini can be set through the ROG Armory Crate Gear software. For example, the left and right buttons of the mouse, the two buttons on the left thumb area, and the scroll wheel button can automatically perform the functions required by the player.
The DPI parameter provides four-segment switching. Each segment can adjust the required DPI value by itself. Then, just click the DPI shortcut key on the mouse to immediately switch to different DPI setting values. The polling rate and angle correction can also be adjusted.

Actual experience
The first impression of actual use is that it is very light. It weighs 49g and is so light that when you hold it in your hand, you can’t help but wonder if it really has a built-in battery. The matching mouse feet are also very smooth, whether it is a cloth mouse or not. Pads, plastic mouse pads and even ordinary desktops can be accurately detected, and the control feeling when playing games is even more improved.
Although this mouse has an extremely lightweight design, its wireless battery life is longer than expected. When the RGB lighting effect and 2.4 GHz RF connection mode are turned on, and it is used for about ten hours a day, and after three consecutive days of use, the battery still has 60 % or more, which is very close to the official Bluetooth connection of 113 hours and the 2.4 GHz RF connection of 79 hours. There is no need to worry about insufficient battery life.
