Compare Cherry M64 Pro vs ASUS ROG Keris II Ace

Reviewers who discussed the radio link described the 2.4GHz connection as fast, reliable, and tied to the larger high-polling dongle experience.

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

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

Tracking precision was a consistent strength: reviewers reported smooth aiming, accurate snapping, and precise response on normal gaming surfaces.

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.

Weight balance was praised when mentioned, with reviewers calling the mouse solid, well-balanced, and free of obvious balance issues despite the low mass.

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

Battery life is mostly good in standard or mixed polling use, but IGN found peak 8K and Pro Gaming settings could drain it far faster than the rated 90 hours.

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

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

Build quality is generally solid for an ultralight shell, though one reviewer found M64 side-wall flex and IGN noted only minor flexing and a slightly cheap feel.

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.

Button customization is limited: reviewers found basic mapping or CPI presets, but no software-driven fine control or deeper customization.

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

Main-button responsiveness is strong overall, with reviewers describing snappy travel, good bounce-back, and reliable actuation during gameplay.

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

The included cable was usually described as flexible or pliant, helping offset the awkward side-port layout when charging or using wired mode.

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.

Charging is fast enough and possible while playing, but several reviewers criticized the side USB-C port because the cable can feel awkward or drag against the hand.

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.

Claw comfort depends on hand size: some reviewers liked the low front and relaxed-claw support, while IGN found the small right-handed shell cramped for large hands.

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.

Click latency is supported by adjustable debounce settings, giving users several response-time presets directly on the mouse.

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

Click sound is moderate rather than silent: reviewers described the main clicks as mellow or balanced, though one found them fairly loud.

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.

Connection stability was consistently positive, with reviewers reporting no lag, stutter, hiccups, or wireless dropouts in normal use.

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

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.

Debounce customization is broad on paper, but one reviewer had ghost clicks at the lowest setting while others praised the selectable 2/4/8/12 ms options.

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

The DPI/CPI range is wide, reaching 26,000, but preset-only adjustment limits fine-grained sensitivity tuning.

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

Durability evidence is limited but positive around the finish, with Tom's Hardware noting the coating is designed for and withstood visible wear.

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

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

The M64's right-handed ergonomic shape was a major draw for several reviewers, especially those who liked its low front and thumb groove, though large hands may struggle.

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

Fingertip grip drew weak support because reviewers found the M64's curvature awkward for fingertip users compared with palm or claw.

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.

FPS suitability is strong when tracking and responsiveness matter, though the shape may favor controlled play more than universal fast-flick comfort.

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

Glide quality was praised, with reviewers citing smooth movement, strong PTFE feet, and good glide across multiple ordinary surfaces.

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

Grip texture is mixed: the white coating was seen as grippier and durable, while the black coating was criticized as a fingerprint magnet.

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.

Handedness is limited because the M64 Pro is explicitly a right-handed ergonomic mouse, not an ambidextrous option.

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

Left and right click quality was mostly praised for feel and reliability, with several reviewers calling the clicks snappy, satisfying, or trouble-free in gameplay.

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.

Lift-off distance can be adjusted, typically between 1 mm and 2 mm, and one reviewer specifically needed the 2 mm option on hard surfaces.

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

Long-session comfort is mostly positive from Tom's Hardware, but the side charging cable and large-hand fit concerns limit universal comfort.

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

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

Materials feel mixed: the shell and UV coating are solid, but IGN felt the ultralight construction made the mouse feel somewhat cheap.

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

MMO suitability received only indirect support through a standard gaming sensor mode described for lower-precision MMO-style play.

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 was a strong theme, with reviewers describing smooth, consistent movement and no obvious tracking irregularities.

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

On-device settings are a strength for plug-and-play users because key controls can be adjusted directly on the mouse without software.

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

Palm grip comfort is decent for smaller to medium hands, but several reviewers warned the shape or size can be awkward for fingertip users or large hands.

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

The Pro model's 8K polling rate is widely documented and usually praised, though some reviewers said they could not always feel a meaningful difference.

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.

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

Premium feel is mixed: some praised the non-hollow feel, while others felt the quality and finish were not quite top-tier for the price.

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.

Profile or sensor-mode switching is available directly on the mouse, with Pro Gaming, Standard, and Low Power modes mentioned.

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

Programmable-button support is basic, mostly limited to standard game or Windows button mapping rather than rich software macros.

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

RGB is essentially absent, with reviewers repeatedly noting no flashy lighting or special lighting beyond an indicator LED.

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

Scroll wheel quality is generally solid, with tactile notches, consistent scrolling, and easy movement, though one reviewer described the wheel feel as merely okay.

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

Sensor performance is consistently strong thanks to the Pixart/Pixart 3395-class sensor, accurate tracking, and stable performance on common surfaces.

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

Shape comfort is the most divisive area: some reviewers loved the locked-in ergonomic shape, while IGN found it cramped for large hands.

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

Side-button quality is split: some reviewers praised their size and crispness, while others found the M64's side buttons mushy.

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.

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 usability is polarizing because there is no software; plug-and-play users may like it, but many reviewers found on-device controls tedious or limiting.

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

Surface compatibility is acceptable on normal plastic and wood surfaces, but glass was reported unusable.

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

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 feel is generally good, with reviewers praising snappy, balanced main clicks, though one early impression found the implementation merely okay.

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

Value is mixed to weak: the $139 Pro version performs well, but reviewers questioned the 8K surcharge and compared it against strong software-supported competitors.

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

Weight is a clear strength, with reviewers repeatedly measuring or citing roughly 54-55 grams for the Pro model.

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.

Wireless latency was mostly praised as lag-free, though IGN questioned whether 8K gains are noticeable to average users.

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 performance was a strength, with reviewers reporting reliable 2.4GHz operation and no obvious wireless tracking issues.

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