Compare ASUS ROG Keris II Ace vs Glorious Model D 2 Pro 4k/8k

Reviewers consistently find the tri-mode setup useful, with 2.4GHz wireless treated as the main gaming connection and Bluetooth/USB adding flexibility.

Reviewers confirm wired and 2.4GHz wireless operation, but one tester saw the 2.4GHz adapter strain a Mini-PC hub, so the feature is useful but not flawless.

The sensor's 50g acceleration rating is repeatedly cited as part of its top-tier performance spec, with no practical complaints about acceleration handling.

Sensor specs consistently cite high acceleration capability, supporting strong gaming-grade tracking headroom rather than any separate acceleration-tuning feature.

Tracking is one of the strongest consensus wins: reviewers describe precise, smooth, accurate movement across games and surfaces, though one noted very high DPI becomes impractical.

Tracking accuracy is generally praised across reviews, with good accuracy, precise aiming, and no sensor buckling, though one reviewer found very high DPI impractical.

Most reviewers praise the balance as centered and easy to control, but one detailed teardown-style review found a slight forward bias.

Only one reviewer discussed balance directly, calling the weight balancing solid with no major rear-heavy feel during normal grip.

Battery life is generally considered strong at normal wireless settings, though several reviewers note high polling rates and RGB reduce runtime.

Battery life is the main split: 80 hours at 1,000Hz is acceptable, but 4,000Hz use repeatedly caused short runtime, surprise shutdowns, or frequent charging.

Bluetooth is a well-liked convenience feature, especially for multi-device and non-gaming use, while reviewers still favor 2.4GHz for competitive play.

Bluetooth support is consistently absent, and multiple reviewers call this out as a limitation for a stripped-down performance mouse.

Build quality is mostly praised as rigid and solid for a 54g mouse, with only a few unit-level notes about creaking, rattle, or average feel.

Build quality is mostly positive, with several reviewers calling the shell sturdy or exceptionally good, though its light plastic construction is not universally loved.

Button remapping and control customization are well supported through Armoury Crate or onboard controls, including DPI, polling, and command assignment.

Button customization is strong through Glorious Core, with remapping, DPI controls, key bindings, and other options available for the six buttons.

Button responsiveness is broadly positive, with reviewers calling clicks snappy, low-latency, precise, or consistent, even when switch feel is debated.

Button responsiveness is rated highly thanks to optical switches, low travel complaints, and no perceived latency issues in gaming tests.

The included cable is usually described as flexible, light, or low-drag, though one reviewer found it somewhat stiff and another called it only medium.

Cable-related impressions are mixed: the included cable/dongle setup is useful, but recessed or directional USB-C design can limit convenience.

Charging convenience is positive overall thanks to USB-C, an included cable, and a universally sized port, though charging was not a major focus of most reviews.

Charging convenience is mixed to weak because the mouse includes usable USB-C charging, but reviewers disliked the recessed or one-way connector and weak low-battery warning.

Claw comfort is generally good for relaxed claw users and smaller-to-medium hands, but not every reviewer found the shape ideal for aggressive or large-hand claw use.

Claw grip comfort is supported by reviewers who found the D 2 Pro easier to grab or naturally shaped for claw-style use.

Measured and reported click latency is very low, with reviewers citing roughly 1ms or sub-millisecond behavior depending on mode.

Click latency is a strength where tested, with the optical switches described as triggering especially quickly at 0.2ms.

Click noise is divisive: some reviewers found it quiet and pleasant, while others said the optical switches are louder, hollow, or not suited to silent-click preferences.

Click noise is a drawback: reviewers describe the switches as fairly loud or noticeable, though one notes they are not obnoxiously loud.

Connection stability is a major strength, with reviewers repeatedly reporting no dropouts, no stutters, no hiccups, and stable high-polling wireless use.

Connection stability is a concern in a few reviews, including wireless/wired dropouts, random-direction behavior, and adapter strain on one setup.

Multi-device support is a meaningful advantage because Bluetooth can pair with several devices and the mouse is described as useful across PC, laptop, console, or travel setups.

Cross-platform support is limited because the mouse can work on macOS, but the customization software is not available on Apple devices.

Debounce customization is weak because the available evidence says there is no debounce setting or that debounce is not adjustable.

Debounce customization is well supported in Glorious Core, with detailed or advanced debounce settings available across multiple reviews.

The 42,000 DPI ceiling is repeatedly highlighted as class-leading, though reviewers often note most players will never use the upper range.

DPI range is strong on paper at up to 26,000 DPI, though reviewers repeatedly note that extremely high DPI settings are not practical for normal use.

Durability evidence centers on optical switches, double-click resistance, consistent performance over time, and serviceability such as hot-swappable switches.

Durability evidence centers on optical switches rated for 100 million clicks and sturdy construction, but long-term review data is limited.

Ecosystem integration is positive through Aura Sync, Windows Dynamic Lighting mentions, and the ROG Omni Receiver's ability to pair with other ROG peripherals.

Ecosystem integration is present through Glorious Core's ability to manage other Glorious products, though reviewers do not frame it as a major selling point.

The right-handed ergonomic design is a core strength, frequently described as comfortable, esports-focused, and well-shaped for palm or relaxed claw use.

The ergonomic right-handed shape earns broad praise for comfort and wrist positioning, though it is not equally suitable for all hands or left-handed users.

Fingertip comfort is mixed: a few reviewers could use it or liked the control, but several said the ergonomic shell is awkward or not recommended for fingertip.

Firmware reliability is a minor concern because at least one review described updates as inconvenient and limiting software reconfiguration until completed.

Firmware reliability is mixed: updates are available and sometimes necessary, but reviewers reported failed updates, bricking, or multiple attempts.

FPS suitability is excellent, with reviewers repeatedly tying the mouse to esports, Valorant, Counter-Strike, and high-speed competitive aim.

FPS and competitive gaming suitability is one of the product's clearest strengths, driven by low weight, high polling, smooth glide, and strong tracking.

Glide is consistently praised thanks to smooth PTFE feet, spare feet, and strong performance on cloth, glass, and other surfaces.

Glide smoothness is consistently praised, with PTFE feet and optional extra skates producing very smooth movement on pads.

Grip texture is the most disputed physical trait: some like the ridges or roughened surface, while others call the coating slippery and dependent on grip tape.

Grip texture is mixed: some reviewers found it grippy and secure during gaming, while others called it slippery, ordinary, or less premium.

Handedness is a clear limitation because the shape is right-handed, with left-handed and ambidextrous users directed elsewhere.

Handedness options are poor because the Model D 2 Pro is effectively right-handed, with reviewers pointing left-handed users toward other models.

Left/right click quality is generally strong, with PBT or optical construction and consistent feel praised, though a few reviewers criticized travel or hollow feel.

Primary click quality is generally good with optical switches, but some reviewers wanted a more tactile or premium click feel.

Lift-off distance is adjustable but not universally loved; reviewers liked having the control, while some found the low/high choices too limited.

Lift-off distance can be adjusted in software, but at least one reviewer found the implementation simple rather than advanced.

Long-session comfort is mostly strong due to low weight and ergonomic support, though some hand sizes reported cramps or fit issues.

Long-session comfort is supported by the ergonomic wrist angle and fatigue-reducing shape, though evidence is limited to a small number of reviewers.

Macro support exists through Armoury Crate, but it is not a headline strength and onboard macro behavior is more limited.

Macro support is present and fairly capable in Glorious Core, but one reviewer found macro behavior hit-or-miss in practice.

Materials quality is mixed-positive: the nylon/PBT construction supports low weight and rigidity, but coating feel and premium texture divide reviewers.

Materials quality is divisive: some reviews call it high-quality and sturdy, while others say the finish feels cheap or not premium.

Evidence for MMO use is limited but mildly positive where reviewers mention Final Fantasy XIV, Diablo IV, or mapping side buttons for raids; it is not an MMO-first mouse.

Motion consistency is strong in practice through smooth high-polling movement and stable tracking, but MotionSync and ripple controls are not fully configurable.

Motion consistency is a strength in formal testing, with smooth, highly consistent sensor updates and better-than-average performance reported.

Onboard memory and onboard controls are meaningful positives, with reviewers citing hardware profiles, on-device controls, and software-free settings changes.

Onboard memory is a useful feature, with reviewers confirming storage for up to three profiles or saved settings.

Palm grip comfort is a major strength for small-to-medium or relaxed palm users, though very large hands may prefer bigger ergonomic mice.

Palm grip comfort is mixed because the shape can fit palms well, but some reviewers found the mouse narrow or side buttons awkward in palm grip.

Polling rate support is one of the main selling points: 4,000Hz wireless and 8,000Hz wired are repeatedly highlighted, but 8,000Hz is not wireless.

Polling rate is the headline feature, reaching 4,000Hz wireless and 8,000Hz wired, but reviewers often call the gains overkill or hard to feel.

Portability is helped by Bluetooth, dongle storage, multi-device use, and travel-friendly wireless operation, even if the booster setup can be bulky.

Portability is weakened by the lack of onboard dongle storage, making the larger dongle easier to lose while traveling.

Premium feel is mixed: many call the mouse solid or feature-rich, but coating, price, and button feel stop some reviewers from calling it universally premium.

Premium feel is mixed-to-weak: performance feels high-end, but several reviewers say the plastic finish looks or feels less premium than rivals.

Profile switching is supported through profiles and button combinations, but the underside DPI/profile button placement is sometimes criticized.

Profile switching is supported through Glorious Core and onboard memory, with up to three profiles or multiple profiles mentioned.

Programmable button coverage is solid for an FPS mouse, typically five or six physical buttons plus scroll directions through software.

Programmable buttons are a strength, with six assignable keys and software support for actions, macros, and quick functions.

RGB is limited to the scroll wheel but appreciated because many ultralight esports mice omit lighting entirely; some reviewers dislike the execution.

RGB features are intentionally minimal or absent, which suits a stripped-down esports mouse but disappoints reviewers who wanted visual flair.

Scroll wheel quality is mixed: several reviewers praise tactile, quiet, or smooth behavior, while others report average tactility, light resistance, or overscrolling.

Scroll wheel quality is generally acceptable to good, with responsive texture and notched feedback, though one reviewer called it average.

Sensor performance is a standout strength, with the AimPoint Pro repeatedly described as accurate, high-spec, smooth, and reliable.

Sensor performance is excellent overall, with the BAMF 2.0 sensor praised for tracking, consistency, and high DPI capability.

Shape comfort is broadly positive, especially for small-to-medium ergonomic users, but fit varies by hand size and grip preference.

Shape comfort is broadly positive, especially for ergonomic right-handed use, though some reviewers prefer other ergonomic profiles.

Side button quality is one of the more mixed areas, with praise for crispness and placement offset by repeated complaints about small size, stiffness, or high placement.

Side button quality is one of the most disputed areas: some found the buttons easy and solid, while others found them too high, too far back, or easy to mis-trigger.

Skate durability evidence is limited but positive, with one reviewer reporting the stock skates held up well and no dust or grinding on glass.

Software stability is acceptable in the lighter Armoury Crate Gear experience, but broader Armoury Crate concerns remain around bloat and background processes.

Software stability is mixed: Glorious Core is generally easy to use, but reviewers reported issues, firmware-related fixes, and occasional quirks.

Software usability is mixed-to-negative: it exposes deep settings, but many reviewers call Armoury Crate bloated, slow, heavy, or inconvenient.

Software usability is mostly positive because Glorious Core is described as simple, straightforward, intuitive, and easy to customize.

Surface compatibility is excellent, with reviewers citing glass tracking, surface calibration, and reliable behavior across mouse pads, tables, and other surfaces.

Surface compatibility is strong, with tracking reported across varied surfaces including glass and mouse pads.

Switch durability is excellent on paper and in reviewer discussion thanks to ROG optical switches rated for 100 million clicks and reduced double-click risk.

Switch durability is a strength on paper thanks to optical switches rated for 100 million clicks, though long-term independent data is limited.

Switch feel is mixed-positive: many like the crisp optical clicks, but some find them mushy, hollow, heavier, or less satisfying than mechanical alternatives.

Switch feel is generally solid and clicky, but not every reviewer found it as refined as premium competitors.

Value is context-dependent: reviewers agree it is expensive, but several justify the price for competitive FPS users while others recommend cheaper alternatives.

Value for money is mixed: some reviewers call the pricing competitive for 4K/8K performance, while others say battery and feel weaken the deal.

Weight is a clear strength, with nearly every review emphasizing the 54g or 1.9-ounce design as exceptionally light for an ergonomic wireless mouse.

Weight is a major strength, with reviewers repeatedly measuring or citing roughly 60-62g despite the solid shell.

Wireless latency is treated as excellent over 2.4GHz with high polling, while Bluetooth is repeatedly framed as a convenience mode rather than a competitive mode.

Wireless latency is strong at 4,000Hz and described as responsive or zero-latency in testing, though practical benefits depend on the player and display.

Wireless performance is excellent overall, with stable 4,000Hz operation, no dropouts, and strong sensor performance frequently reported.

Wireless performance is capable at 4,000Hz, but some reviewers reported dropouts, battery drain, or questioned whether the high-rate mode is worthwhile.
