Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Keris Wireless

ASUS ROG Pugio II

The ASUS ROG Keris Wireless is a better wireless gaming mouse than the ASUS ROG Pugio II. It's significantly lighter, and it has both a more flexible charging cable and mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Also, it has a much lower click latency. On the other hand, the Pugio II has two additional side buttons on the right side and a lower lift-off distance. Both mice connect wirelessly either with their USB receivers or via Bluetooth. They also both have hot-swappable switches for the left and right-click buttons.
