Asus Rog Chakram Core Unboxing and review with Nvidia Reflex Latency Analyser goodness
262This is the @ASUSROGUK Chakram Core, a low-latency wired gaming mouse that came along with the Asus Rog Swift PG259QNR monitor that I tested recently (https://youtu.be/1hn6w43mPOw).
It's interesting for a number of reasons. It has an incredibly low click latency (see here https://mousespecs.org/mouse-click-latencies/), it has customisation options that include a joystick thumb button, removable switches and a weight system, but most interestingly, at least for me, it works with @NVIDIAGeForce's Reflex Latency Analyser (https://youtu.be/WlKfRnDD628).

Interesting feature highlights of the Asus Rog Chakram Core include:
Programmable, detachable joystick with 256-level Analog or 4-way directional Digital mode for superior in-game control (yes, you can use it as a joystick/controller)
-0.9ms click latency
Push-Fit Switch-Socket Design with removable Omron switches
Adjustable weight system to go between 97 g or 111 g
Large body which is great if you have larger hands
Comfortable ergonomic body with a satisfying design
Works with Nvidia's Reflex Latency Analyser so you can minimise system latency
Up to 9 buttons (5 + 4 digital buttons on joystick)
Lowlights:
It's a bit chunky/heavy compared to other mice I've tested recently (nearly twice the weight of most lightweight gaming mice)
The RGB lighting is underwhelming
It's for right handed gamers only
