In this ASUS ROG Chakram Core Review, we have used this top rated gaming mouse on ROG Strix Scar 17 (REVIEW) and many of you also recommend using it, it is a wired gaming mouse version of ROG Chakram.
ROG Chakram Core Highlights:
- Top rated gaming mouse
- Beautifully designed, the module separates most components.
- The Omron switch is replaceable, easy to repair.
- The RGB LEDs are bright and fairly clear.
- The optical reading eye has a maximum speed of 16,000 dpi, response speed of 1000Hz.
- Cheap but not much different from the original Chakram.
It is the ASUS Chakram Core, gaming mouse and as you can see in the picture, it has a design that is not much different from the wireless version. The top surface is covered with rough plastic for a very good grip. Also, this rugged design makes this Asus gaming mouse more luxurious and cool than the slightly cheaper shiny design.
From top to bottom, you see that the RGB LED appears in two places: one is the ROG logo under the palm rest and the other is the mouse wheel. Talking about RGB LED, the wired gaming mouse version will have fewer RGB LEDs than the wireless version. We say that it has a modular design, allowing it to be dissected in most parts of the RGB gaming mouse.
Here we are removing the armrest to see you the bottom, you can remove this ROG logo as well, ASUS has included some other plastic pieces next to the ROG logo so that the users can personalize it according to their taste.
This Asus top rated gaming mouse also comes with a weight that lets you customize the overall weight, and if you attach it, you’ll mount it right above that ROG RGB logo. Unfortunately, we do not have those things to demonstrate to you.
When the weight is not attached, the Chakram Core weighs around 97g, a perfect figure for a gaming mouse, neither too heavy nor too light. Comparing the Razer DeathAdder V2 (REVIEW), it weighs about 82g.
The left-right click button is also removable. Here we want to talk to you about the optimal design for the gaming of Chakram Core which ASUS has done. In addition to the weight attached to the mouse, the two left-right-click buttons have a spring design to apply pressure close to the switch to minimize latency, which will make the mouse click faster while gaming, creating an advantage when playing the games.
Speaking of the switches, the Chakram Core uses Omron switches with the durability of around 50 million clicks, the ROG Chakram Core switches are like its predecessor when it is hot-swappable thanks to clips included by ASUS. The spring-core part of the left-right-click cover helps to minimize lag in each click, and Omron switches are directly replaceable.
In the bottom part of the mouse we have a button to quickly adjust the DPI in 4 different steps, if combined with the roller, you can customize more details. The maximum DPI of the ROG Chakram Core is 16,000 dpi and the response speed is 1000Hz. The reason for this is because the optical reading eye of the Chakram Core is no different from the Chakram, and it also has a sensor that tracks up to 400 inches per second (400 IPS).
The left side is the typical joystick of the ROG Chakram series, with this joystick you can customize it. Above the joystick is two other click buttons, if used to surf the web, it will be the back and forward feature.
As it is a smaller version of Chakram, it is equipped with a 1.8-meter cord and is a tangle-proof cord covered with cut-resistant. The end of the cord connecting to the USB-A port is also meticulous and beautiful. A wire is wrapped with an anti-break cloth.
Final line
It is top rated gaming mouse that comes at an attractive price that you might consider taking, the current price of the ASUS ROG Chakram Core is $79.99 on Amazon.com and Bhphotovideo.com websites, you have almost all of the high-end features of ROG Chakram.
The only difference lies in the fact that it has no Bluetooth connectivity, less LED RGB than Chakram, well the Chakram Core also features AURA Sync, which connects the Armory CRATE software, users can sync all ROG devices simultaneously and synchronize RGB LEDs. With ARMOURY CRATE, we can also customize many other unique RGB LED styles.
