Asus's ROG 20th anniversary edition gear is pretty much all about extravagance. Just look at the $600 Azoth Extreme Edition 20. The Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 is much the same, with gold plating and a whopping 65,000 DPI. It is bougie in feel, look, and price.
I couldn't possibly call it a bad gaming mouse, because taste aside, it's a bit of a beast. It's just not a feasible buy for someone only looking for a competitive-level gaming mouse, and that's before mentioning the weight increase that comes with shoving gold inside it.
Feeling like it's ripped straight out of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I think its smattering of blacks and golds looks super clean. I'm normally pretty cynical about gold, aesthetically speaking, but in this mouse, it feels like the appearance is really considered among the black and transparent sides. The 24K gold detailing is part of the ensemble, and not the centrepiece itself.
