Roccat Kone Pure Optical Mouse Review

A Closer Look

The mouse features a grip texture to the darker side panels, and a lighter texture to the top panel. This will suit those who suffer from sweaty hands as it shouldn’t impede grip, but the texture of the side panels may wear over time with heavy usage.

There is a nice ergonomic bump on the left side that gives a comfortable resting position for the thumb, which rests below the two side switches. This helps prevent accidental clicks, but the button placement still means your thumb is not travelling too far to make quick clicks of the side buttons.

The right side also features an ergonomic curve that gives the mouse a nice gripping point that will suit those with smaller hands or that use a claw style grip while gaming.

The central section of the mouse features a pair of toggle switches, these are set to toggle the DPI profiles by default, but they can be remapped. In front of that we have a 2D Titan Wheel (marking slang for one that is built out of strong and relatively heavy materials). The wheel features a heavy and well-defined notch when rotated, as well as a soft and very grippy rubber outer edge.

The mouse is ergonomically shaped to suit right hand players only, sorry lefties.

The underside of the mouse features a pair of Teflon slipmats that should provide a good amount of glide. The 4000DPI pro-optic sensor in located in the centre.
