Roccat Kone XP - 3D Lighting Gaming Mouse with 19K DPI Optical Sensor, 4D Krystal Wheel, programmable button design & AIMO RGB lighting, black

I replaced my old Khone XTD mouse with this new one from ROCCAT® because the former was showing signs of wear and tear after more than five years of use. I have always trusted ROCCAT® products, and this mouse does not disappoint. In fact, it feels superior to the Khone XTD in every way. The size of the mouse is perfect for me as I have large hands, and it is quite a large mouse. The weight of the mouse is also very helpful when I am tracking targets in FPS games. The scroll wheel takes some getting used to and has a great feel to it. The left and right mouse buttons are also quite sensitive, which is just how I like them. The RBG lighting on the mouse is fantastic - it's bright enough to look great, but not so bright that it becomes distracting. The software that comes with the mouse is also easy to use and allows me to create macros for any purpose. Holding the mouse feels silky smooth and is a real pleasure. Not a fan of thumb shift button position but again, probably takes time to get used to. Overall, this is a top-quality mouse that works perfectly. I even bought the ROCCAT® Vulcan AIMO keyboard to sync the RBG between them. I am extremely happy with this mouse and believe it was definitely worth what I paid.

Great mouse and is as described. You can download the Roccat app so that you can remap the buttons and have 5 different profiles, perfect for different games and work. There are four buttons on the left side of the mouse that you can use, which is seperate from the DPI buttons. There is a button under the scroll that you can use to switch between the different profiles you set.

I'd been using a gaming mouse with FIVE side thumb buttons for years, but the model has been discontinued.Scouting around I saw several that have lots of buttons like the Razor Naga, but 12 buttons (3 rows of 4) or 6 in a ring is just too awkward to find the right one in the middle of battle (tried them before).So I was pleased when I happened upon this model, as it has 5 buttons as well in an "easy to find" configuration - 4 in a square near the top and a 5th at the bottom.The 5th can either be another button or a "shift" to change the profiles of the other 4.The Roccat SWARM software to configure the mouses feature, led's, DPI, mouse button profiles and everything else is clear and easy to use, and you can have up to 5 profiles for different types of games, each of which can be fully configured any way you like.The LED's are also fully customisable, with the ability to change the colours and vibrancy - and a very handy "auto off" feature I've not seen elsewhere, so it turns off after a set period of time, as the led's are bright if you're just watching something online and don't want the glare of the mouse LED's in your eyeline.I'm so pleased with this I've already bought a second as a backup when this one eventually dies in a few years.I should state the 19,000MAX DPI is insane - I use a 55inch TV for gaming and 19k dpi is WAAAAAY too sensitive - I've got it set to 2k and that's a full side to side of the screen in a couple of inches, but still low enough I've got fine control for sniping.

As per the title its great, but for me, its very light, i'm used to the corsair M60 and G502 hero which have some weight to them, which means a lot more control in gaming, better aim, and a feeling of high quality, the lightness of this mouse makes it feel very cheap, it weighs 98.6g on my scale. i realise that for todays generation of gamer who apparently thinks 100g is somehow heavy, they might even think its too heavy, but i'm the kind that prefers a mouse to be about 120g at least, i wanna feel like im holding something. You know back in the day weight was preferred, i cant think of any advantage to being light, you can move them all at the same speed when on a flat surface and a 1 year old baby can lift even 500g , so why do gamers complain about lifting 100g a few mm? Are they that weak?? Its not difficult and another 20g isn't gonna slow you down hahah, i saw a vid of one guy who literally removed the amazing led diffusers and ruined th elook of his mouse to save 16 grams, like, does he even eat? Can he lift a bag of crisps?? I worry for these people hahaha.All jokes aside, i bought because of the optical switches and i had a voucher to spend, so really it cost me nothing, and i have to say i prefer the feeling of mech switches over these, these feel dull and hollow, especially the left click, the right isn't to bad. All of the buttons in the mouse with the exception of the left and right click are still mech switches anyway, and those feel as you'd expect. Not sure why they didn't make all the switches optical. The lighting looks amazing, thebuttons are good to have, i can press the thumb paddle and make it so it does volume up and down on the scroll wheel which is great and is the default, and other useful things like that. For productivity it will also be great. Sofftware is great too, but for some reason they didnt think to let you use one of the many (19) led's for indicating dpi, so you have no idea what its set to other than feel. The ability to let users add for example the scroll wheel or top button led to change color to represent different dpi's would be a feature that i bet most buyers would appreciate. They do have the option to add a voice which says the dpi OR up or down over your speakers, but its only been recorded for a set number of dpi's, for example it will say 2000 dpi, but if you have say 2050, and it hadn't been recorded for that, the voice will just say dpi up, which is equally as useless as not having an indicator. Not a big deal but a minor niggle they could easily have implemented i think. Anyway i like it, the voucher made it free, so ill keep it. I chose the £45 "used very good" option but they sent me a new one anyway, the labels hadn't even been removed from the feet and there's not a mark on it. Seems new to me.

Coming from razer deathadder this mouse feels amazing and very easy to use. Software is so much better than synapse.

Broke after a matter of months, even with the threaded wire began having disconnection issues after a few months.

The best rgb on any gaming mouse by far!

I prefer this mouse to my Naga Pro. The mouse wheel packed up after 3 months use but Roccat support sent me a new mouse.
