The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).
Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.
This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Asus ROG Keris and Alienware AW610M, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.
First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 1 years old, being released in the 2023, while AW610M is older, 5 years old, being released in the 2019. The production age difference is 4 year(s). This makes the ROG Keris kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.
• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳
When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to AW610M mouse, ROG Keris is ~15.00 mm (or ~0.59 in) Shorter, ~16.00 mm (or ~0.63 in) Narrower and ~4.00 mm (or ~0.16 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 35 mm (or -1.38 in) way smaller and better suiting tinier hands.
Considering the weight, Asus ROG Keris is 38% lighter, a difference of 45.00 g (0.10 lbs), which can be considered very significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .
Regarding the Ergonomy, ROG Keris is meant to be Right-handed while AW610M is Ambidextrous. They offer the same grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip; the degree of adaptability is the same and equal to 3.
• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️
Let's now compare Asus ROG Keris sensor with the one of Alienware AW610M. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: ROG AimPoint equipped by ROG Keris and PMW3335 used by AW610M. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.
Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the ROG Keris provides 35900 DPI/CPI, while AW610M offers 15900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has way larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, ROG Keris is offering 56% better Max Resolution, 20000 More DPI/CPI.
As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, ROG Keris shows a better value, 50 G, a small difference of 10 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, ROG Keris shows a preferable value, 650 IPS, a great difference of 250 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.
They have a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of AW610M shows an higher value, 1.2 mm, a small difference of 0.20 mm. Anyway, they do not offer adjustable lift off distance through software.
Click and Shift Latencies
Asus ROG Keris has lower click latency than Alienware AW610M, a great difference of 14.90 ms, 78% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated very significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare ROG Keris and AW610M shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.
• Other Features 📎
Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, ROG Keris has ROG Micro Switch while AW610M has Omron; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 70 millions clicks while the second is 20 millions clicks, 71% better Lifespan, a difference of 50 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for ROG Keris, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 5 offered by first mouse and 7 offered by the second one, a small difference of 2 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. The first one has a declared battery time of 119h (type: Lithium polymer), the second one has a duration of 350h (type: Unknown) meaning a difference of 231h. In the end, the features offered by Asus ROG Keris are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, while Alienware AW610M is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
