Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix Carry is a compact, pocket-sized wireless gaming mouse designed for high-performance portability. It features dual wireless connectivity via 1ms 2.4GHz RF and Bluetooth, a gaming-grade PMW3330 optical sensor with up to 7200 DPI, and a 150 IPS tracking speed with 30g acceleration. A standout characteristic is the ROG-exclusive push-fit switch socket design, which allows users to easily swap the included Omron switches to customise click feel or extend the device's lifespan. Its main pros include exceptional battery life—delivering over 300 hours on 2.4GHz and 400+ hours on Bluetooth—and SmartHop technology for stable, interference-free connections. However, notable cons include its relatively high 'wet' weight of approximately 119g when using the required two AA batteries, the lack of a wired connection mode, and a small form factor that is unsuitable for palm grip users or those with larger hands.
