It's easy to tell that the Roccat Kova[+] mouse is targeted at gamers. It has the angular, gothic appearance of Christian Bale's Batmobile , colours light up periodically for no good reason and, most importantly, there's masses of customisable functionality.

Not the best mouse in the world by a long way.

Lighting looks good; DPI adjustment

Can't see which DPI you are running; Doesn't work with Win 7; A bit light; Uncomfortable after long periods

The Roccat Kova[+] looks good and feels pretty nice, and we were impressed by its comprehensive range of software customisability. But a price tag of £44 is hefty for a mouse, even by the standards of dedicated gamers, and we're not sure the Roccat Kova[+] justifies the cost.

The Roccat Kova is the first mouse from the German manufacturer, so let's have a look at their first attempt. Packaging: This mouse comes in a striking but modern box; it looks good and follows the Roccat theme.

I have tested this mouse in both Excel/Office and browsing the internet environment and also games environment by playing Wolfenstein, Borderlands and Counterstrike : Source. The precision is very good but each person that will use this mouse needs some time to get used to it, especially after...

This is a new and improved Roccat Kova+ Gaming mouse, I think they have managed to improve the mouse with the few bits that it might have been lacking in the past. The mouse works very well in both gaming and in normal daily usage, I find it to be quick and a hint more responsive than the older...

Overall the Kova is a good mouse. It combines sleek looks with solid performance so is definitely a worthwhile consideration for any gamer. There are a few slight quality issues present but you shouldn't let this sway you too far away from the Kova as they are not really significant.

Germany has been renowned for their engineering expertise and quality especially in electrical. That includes the field of computers and gaming peripherals. For this review, I have in my hands a mouse from the German origins of Roccat, the Kova+.
