After trying a lot of mice over the last few years, I can safely say that very few (if any) came close to the quality and features of the Keris. I, also, have the EVA edition which is wireless and I can recommend both. The features of the Keris alone are enough to warrant a recommendation:
Super lighweight (62g), good pure PTFE glides, nice paracord-like cable, hot-swappable main switches which are easily accesible without removing the feet, good sensor, superb build quality, extra feet and switches (2x Japan Omron) in the box.
The wireless version (79g) comes with all the above plus a detachable USB-C paracord-like cable, very good battery life, triple connection (2.4Ghz, Bluetooth, wired) and 2 extra sets of side buttons.
The Keris is a small mouse. Its shape is ergonomic and is suited for small to medium sized hands. Its curves, much like those of the legendary dagger whose name it borrows, are somewhat unusual and like every mouse out there it is best to try it before you commit to it. I was impatient at first but then I gave it more time and now I have adapted to it and it feels really good and comfortable. The materials are nice, there are two types of coating: the main body is smooth ABS(?) while the main buttons and parts of the sides are textured PBT. The main clicks are crispy and have very little pre and post travel (Pre-travel is even less) and no sideplay at all. The side buttons are good (I've tried both worse and better) and the scroll wheel has no rattle, while it is on the smoother side but with distinguishable steps and requires a medium amount of pressure to click. No flexes, no rattles from the mouse as a whole. It feels really well built as most ASUS products do nowadays, despite not having the best reputation among 'enthusiasts'. I do not know if it is suitable for claw grip as I use fingertip and palm grip and I can say that for the right hand size (<19.5cm) the mouse can be used with both those grip styles. I, also, use grip tape on the sides for extra 'liftability' as the shape, particularly the right side, can be a little challenging to lift at times, especially if you have dry hands.
If I have to mention a negative it is the software. It is not the most intuitive piece of software I've come across and I had a really hard time trying to install it (could not install on windows 8.1). However, the good news is that the mouse has on-board memory, so your dpi and lighting settings can be stored there and once you set them you don't need Rog Armoury any more.
For its current price (you can find it between 30 - 50 dollars for the wired and 60 - 70 for the wireless) there are very few gaming mice that can compete with it. Definite recommendation!
