This is a surprisingly well put-together small mouse that anyone with small hands (or who prefers an aggressive claw or fingertip grip) would do well to own. The finish is fantastic, the scroll wheel is the best I've ever used, and the whole package is just easy to use and works well.

--UV Matte plastic coating very smooth and grippy on the fingers without feeling sticky or dirty --Very accurate sensor with LOD adjustment and lots of customization --The best scroll wheel ever made; hands down --Solid build quality and simple design

--Side buttons are placed a bit too high up and can be difficult to press --Not suitable for wider hands in anything but fingertip grip --RGB lighting not smooth at all in colour transitions (if you want rainbow effect) --Overpriced compared to similar performing mice --Deep thumbgroove forces your...

it is a good mouse and i own the military edition already. This mouse has a better sensor than the military edition. It uses the roccat swarm software. It is pretty much the same shape as the military edition. Loved the mouse and only have one complaint that is a deal breaker for me.

I bought this over half a year ago and have loved it! If you are looking for a good gaming mouse this is a great option

Product is very good cane in nice package am liking it

Once again ROCCAT has not failed to impress, and if you have yet to try one, the Kone Pure Optical may very well be the right mouse for you to try out. Not only do you get a slightly reduced size of a mouse with these newer releases, but the shape, feel and comfort is not lost in any way.

In a market segment rife with choice, any manufacturer which wants to stand out must innovate their way past the rest of the crowd or use clever marketing techniques to dupe their target market.

6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor; EasyShift[+] and EasyAim are game changers; Roccat Talk compatible; Loads of color customisation and effect options; 22 functions thanks to EasyShift[+; 8 programmable buttons; solid 4D scroll wheel; Tracking and Distance Control Unit; Low friction mouse feet really...

Scroll wheel bug; Takes 28 seconds to apply settings; Too light without supplied weights; Drivers not included; Must be downloaded from Roccat website; Macro creation is over complicated

The Kone[+] might be the strongest accessory to come out of ROCCAT Studios. Everything and anything can be customized and the comfort in a gamer's hand means for hours of gameplay with no problem.

We are using a new addition to our scoring system to provide additional feedback beyond a flat score. Please note that the final score isn't an aggregate average of the new rating system.

Winning ergonomic characteristics; Self-calibration for any surface; EasyShift on-the-fly macro system; Voice feedback for (some) of the features is a definite plus

None; The only minor issue that did not reflect on the final scoring is the startling quality of the voice feedback

Conclusion There must be a goal that ROCCAT has where they take a product that on first glance isn't that impressive to keep you expectations low and blow you out of the water with the final result. I did the same thing with the ISKU.

Roccat's American debut is nothing short of awe inspiring. With amazing products like the Kone+, you can expect to start hearing their name more frequently.
