HERE AT Maximum PC, we are big fans of Asus’s moonlight white aesthetic. It falls somewhere between being not too in your face but not too minimal either, so it’s nice to see it appear on the ROG Strix Impact II mouse. We recently reviewed Marsback’s Zephyr Pro mouse and it's fair to say that this ROG Strix Impact II is quite the opposite. It’s still a mouse, just without some of the gimmicky features, such as holes in the main body.
Asus’s ROG division has been around since 2006 and so it knows what it's doing with gaming peripherals. Mice are a key element of its arsenal and this Strix Impact II is the same price as the ROG Gladius II with one less programmable button. So, is this Strix Impact II a good companion for your setup and does its performance match the looks?
These days, technology is advancing so rapidly that regular items get overengineered to a point where it just becomes gimmicky. With a mouse, there is no need to reinvent the wheel and that’s where this ROG Strix Impact II comes in. On first impression, it's a clean-looking mouse with nothing too crazy going on. It features Asus Aura Sync RGB (customizable via the Armory Crate software), which is found in the wheel itself, the logo, and towards the front of the mouse. With the right color scheme, it can contrast nicely against the white and grey aesthetic of the Impact II.
It's a reasonably small mouse, not enough to put it in the mini category, but those with big hands might want to consider something a little larger. With no rubber on the sides, the Impact II has a grooved plastic texture instead as a substitute. It is fairly grippy but with some lengthy usage in heavy gaming sessions, it can get a little slippy over time. The finish is a soft matte plastic that doesn’t appear to pick up too many fingerprints, but a white mouse isn’t the easiest to keep clean.
