Roccat Kone Pure Pro Reviews

A great mouse, but it's best suited to right-handed gamers

Though the Kone Pure and Kone XTD are generally excellent little hand rodents, they both offer more features and customisation than most people will ever need from a mouse, and are therefore already niche products. Sadly for the XTD, its upgraded buttons and sensor address problems that were never there to begin with in the Kone+, and as such it utterly fails to justify its £15 price premium over the older model. On the other hand, the Pure is priced closely to the Kone+, and offers almost identical features. While it's still expensive, then, it offers a viable alternative for the small collection of wealthy people who feel they need a mouse with such a high degree of functionality, but who prefer its smaller form over the Kone+ and Kone XTD.

The Roccat KONE Pure is a great all around mouse. If you are an FPS gamer then you will really appreciate the 8200dpi R3 laser sensor and the EasyAim function. MMO and RTS gamers will really appreciate the EasyShift[+] and Roccat talk capabilities that will surely increase your APM to all new level. ROCCAT did away with unnecessary features to bring you a powerful yet inexpensive gaming mouse. Unfortunately they left out one of the more important features inherent to the KONE line-up - the 4D scroll wheel that I had become so accustomed to, such a shame.
