this review was not sponsored.

and the mouse was purchased with my own money.

tldr:

im split on this mouse, great ideas,good software

bad shape and low to average mouse

the asus rog sica is an interesting concept

hotsawp switch and variable debounce time.

but the sub par build quality and dated 3310 sensor make it an hard sell

especially with the g203 .

it make me want to see more from asus still.

but this mouse will stay a very reliable backup mouse.

mouse spec:

sold around 40euro

11,4 x 6,1 x 3,8 cm

2m rubber cable

weight around 80g

3310 sensor , 5000 dpi, 130 ips, 30 g acceleration limit 1000hz

hotswapable switches ,mouse provided with chinese omrons 20m

compatible with most onrons switch.

no side buttons

no dpi switch

no rgb,only red light.

internal memory.

available in gunmetal and white.

unboxing :

the mouse come in the usual package without any bonus or goodies

just some paperwork.

no spare feet but this is ok, unlike most mouse the screws are not under the mouse feet.

but some spare switches for this mouse would be nice.

the mouse

shape and shell

the mouse shell is solid but feels strange.

this is low profile but this is not a very good shape.

i can only use it only in fingertip with my 18.5 cm hand.

the shell feels solid but is covered by a semi glossy plastic that keep finger prints and oils…

not a very good coating here.

sides are black plastic with strange Mayan symbols.

not a very good design.

the mouse seems a bit heavy for its size at around 80g.

mouse cable

the mouse cable is a rubber cable.

it is stiff too.

not very good again .

feels very dated…

it is long ,around 2m.

mouse glide and feet

the mouse is scratchy.

it use 3 feet of black teflon, not rounded.

but the good side is:

the screw are covered by rubber insert so, no need to mess with the feet to open the mouse.

mouse wheel and clicks.

the mouse doesn’t shine here again.

the wheel is noisy

the buttons are encased but still manage to have some bad rattle and wobble.

they feels not as light as expected too for 20m omrons.

it feels a bit stiff.just a bit of pre and post travel,nothing major.

so yes sub par build quality.

mouse sensor

the mouse sensor is a 3310,the same used by zowie on the fk and the ec-a

so this is a competitive sensor

5000 dpi, 130 ips, 30 g acceleration limit 1000hz

but it start to get a bit dated with tilt slam issues,some issue with hybrids pads and sometime it can have some random accelerations issues.

this mouse looks like it is one of the worst mouse i have ever tested

but here the good part.

the software

the mouse use rog armory.

it let you set up the polling rate,macro and binds of the mouse but some other interesting option.

it is able to check the mouse firmware and update it on the fly.

it is a feature i would like to see more especially on mouses like glorious.

it has a debounce time setting like the skoll,model o or mm710 but it has a limit of only 8ms sadly.it was added after the firmware update.

and it let you modify the positive or negative acceleration of the sensor if your sensor start to have accelerations issues.

the mouse will save most of those settings.

hotswapable switches.

hotswapable switches is the main feature of this mouse.

this is why i wanted to try it.

hotswap is one of the features we never think about it .

but we want when we see it.

and this mouse was really made with this feature in mind.

the shell is easy to open with screws easy to remove and there is nothing to break in this mouse.

there is no ribbon cables.screw area is metal.

and the socket used for the switch make the switch very easy to remove.

the mouse is compatible with most omrons switch .

and japanese omrons switches are compatible .

tested too with huano and kailh without problem so ill make more video about switch test soon using this mouse.

asus confirmed more hotswap mouses so i can’t wait to see this feature with an improved build quality.

or done by more mouse manufacturer.

so thx for reading this test and enjoy!
