ROCCAT Kone XP Air – Wireless Customizable Ergonomic RGB Gaming Mouse, 19K DPI Optical Sensor, 100-hour Battery & Charging Dock, 29 Programmable Inputs & AIMO RGB Lighting, 4D Wheel – Black

If you are a user who prefers more buttons on a mouse, this is a good place to look. I have a couple versions of the G502 and they are really good buys. The latest one (Hero) is not too bad and tracks well, but the scroll wheel was lacking out of the box. Also, I wished it has more usable buttons. I also have a larger sized hand and I felt that I needed to unnecessarily grip the mouse tighter. It always felt too narrow for me. It is hard to even see in side by side photos, but the Kone XP is noticeably larger feeling in the hand than the G502. I also liked the HyperX Pulsefire Raid form factor and it was not too bad overall. I actually had this prior to the G502 Hero noted above which replaced this one. I really liked the feel of that mouse in my hand and it was slightly wider than the G502. However, that died only after a year of light service and I am turned off from it. By chance, I came across the Roccat Kone XP. I looked at it and it reminded me of a blend of the G502 and the Pulsefire Raid. Instantly, I was interested and the reviews were good and I decided to buy and try. Glad that I did. First off, all the bling lights and such I don't really care about it. I would happily buy a version that was cheaper that had none of it and maybe even weighed a little less. Unfortunately, that stuff is considered a standard now. Speaking of weight, for me the mouse is not too heavy, but I would be happier if it was a bit less. Not a con, just a wish. The first impression I had was shockingly positive after I plugged in the mouse and loaded the software. I happened to have the G502 Hero still plugged in and I instantly liked the tracking feel of the Kone more. No question. It just felt smoother and more accurate. I am running an older system and monitor and the difference was pretty darn noticeable. The only way I can describe the difference to me is that the Kone stops when I stop and the Hero G502 had the itty bitty bit of a delay. Now when I first used the G502, it was a really good feeling upgrade from the Pulsefire Raid and felt that itty bitty better. The Kone from the G502 felt like a similar upgrade. Then having them side by side, I was really intrigued by the difference in a good way. Regarding the software, I generally only use it to set the DPI and rebind the clicks. All that is pretty easy and straightforward especially if you have used similar software before. One thing that also makes the Kone XP standout is the thumb button for the right hand where your thumb sits. This is another big selling point for me since I need more buttons on my mouse. Despite the location and tactile feel (required pressure is just right to be easy to press without pressing accidently) being perfect, it opens up the mouse to becoming easily an 21 to 22 button mouse. You can use that thumb button as just a button, which would work fine, or you can use it as sort of a mouse isolated shift key. So by clicking the thumb button you can assign other keys to the mouse buttons you can reach. Clearly this is not all of them like the thumb buttons. However, you could easily use the thumb button and the right and left mouse buttons. Also the buttons next to the left mouse button are pretty easy to click while using the thumb button. The mouse wheel button are also doable, but probably not in the middle of a FPS firefight, but I think that would be user specific ( I find mouse tilt right the easiest of them all, but all are usable). Lastly, you could reach DPI button too for utility things. As noted above, I have a fairly large hand. This mouse fits me very well. I don't feel as if I need to death grip this mouse to feel in control as I do with the G502. The G502 makes my hand tired to be honest. This mouse, despite looking almost the same shape as G502, feels much more comfortable for me to hold for short and long durations. The four thumb buttons are very similar to the design as what was on the Pulsefire Raid. To my memory, they feel very similar too in location and feel. I have a big thumb and in the heat of battle, they are not easy for me to hit, but I am generally used to them. I rarely mis-click a button. This is not a con or a slight against the mouse. I am glad there are four instead of two. One often overlooked item of a mouse that can drive you bonkers is the mouse cord. I don't do wireless because I always had interference issues with them in the past so I stick with cords for gaming. I am pleased to say that this cord is great and has very little cord tension/resistance if you move the mouse up and it begins bending while touching something. It is there and you can feel it, but much less than other mice I have used in the past including the G502. Overall, this is a really good mouse for those who want solid tracking performance in a mouse that has more than the typical amount of buttons. It feels well made and I think the current $89 is a bit steep in comparison to the corded G502 you can get for $33. However, the Kone XP in my opinion is worth it if you can swing the premium price. It is a better mouse in almost every way.

I've owned many mice throughout the years, and Roccat's Kone XP is one of the best one I've ever had. 1. Fantastic Shape The shape of this mouse fits snugly in my hand. My hands are rather large, and I prefer having a palm grip. The design allows me to comfortably grip the mouse with little issue and zero discomfort. Adjusting to this mouse from my previous one, which was a Razer Viper Ultimate, took only 30 minutes of use. Smaller hands may also find the shape comfortable despite its size, since it's crafted in such a way where it accommodates well for both the finger positioning and the way that the palm can rest on its back. 2. Gorgeous Design and Easy Software The lights on this mouse are mesmerizing. I've had little issue with the software that Roccat offers, and I believe that this is one of the better software solutions I've used. RGB options are nicely separated into distinct parts, and profile switching is incredibly easy to optimize. Additionally, it seems like this software doesn't take as much processing power as some others, and--though this is more of a personal preference--I really like the way that it's laid out. 3. Surprisingly Great Button Placement The button placement on the mouse is surprisingly effective. In the product's description, I was a bit skeptical about their effectiveness. I often would accidentally press the thumb buttons on the Razer Viper Ultimate when I attempted to grip and use it. Though, others may not have had the same experience with similar ambidextrous mice, it is something worth noting. So far, I have yet to accidentally press the thumb, profile switch, and DPI switch buttons despite owning this mouse for several weeks. It goes to show that they put a lot of thought into this button placement while also providing a great range of flexibility. 4. The Weight's Just Right For those that prefer a "middle-weight" mouse, this may be a good mouse to consider. The weight isn't as heavy as some of the Logitech options I've had, and it isn't as light as some of Cooler Master's ultralight mice. I personally need a bit of weight to my mice, but I prefer not to drag a brick in my hand. This mouse hits that sweet spot for me. Final Thoughts If you're in the market for an affordable, comfortable, and beautiful mouse, I'd recommend this one.

Super Maus, bespritze sie nun schon fast 2 Jahre glaube ich und bin absolut zufrieden, die Lichteffekte absolut nach eigenem Wunsch einstellbar über die App, sind ein absoluter hingucker! Auf jedenfall weiter zu empfehlen.

Desde que lo adquirí ha sido un producto inigualable, se nota de calidad del mouse en todo sentido, sus materiales, su interfaz, su rapidez, configuración, etc. Yo lo uso para cuestiones de diseño mecánico y me funciona perfecto, muy cómodo y eficaz. Altamente recomendado.

サイドボタンの多いマウスを探していて、安くなっていたので購入。見た目はカッコいいし、光るのも楽しい。ボタンいっぱいあって便利だけど、今まで使用していたマウスのサイドボタンに比べて小さく並んでいるので、咄嗟の押し間違いが多く、慣れるまで時間かかりそう。握り心地は良くて長時間使っても疲れにくいです。でも、ちょっと重いかな？イージーシフトでブラウジング用に色々割り当てて使用しているがかなり便利です。あと、ソフトウェアが少し使いにくいのが残念。マクロも不便でした。でも全体的には満足してます。値段の割には良い買い物だったと思います。

Download the app and maximize mouse potential. Switch is very good. Had DPI but polling rate is kind of wonky.

KOVAに出会ってからROCCATのゲーミングマウスをずっと愛用しています。 無印KOVAより微妙だったものの、とりあえず使っていたKOVA AIMOも ついにチャタリングを起こし、市場からも消えてしまったのでこちらを購入しました。 正直、購入前の画像等から感じたのは「KOVA（AIMO）より使いにくそう」 という印象が一番大きかったです。 全体でのボタン数は増えているものの、 形状からしてKOVAの左右対称ならではの癖のない使いやすさには遠く及ばないだろうなと。 特に四つのサイドボタンは判別がつきにくそうだし、 左クリック横の二つのボタンも咄嗟に指が届かなさそうだしなぁ…とった具合です。 結果から言うと、個人的には断然KOVAより使いやすかったです。 KOVAは左右対称の代償に明らかに押せないような位置に来て実質使えないようなボタン、 また、そんなに押さない場合は苦にならないものの、 例えばMMOのスキル回しで雑魚殲滅のような時に連打したりすると 若干苦になる位置にあるボタンがあったりして、 結局キーボード側の操作と交代で押していたりした事がありました。 こちらは全く、そんな事を感じさせません。 いえ、厳密に言うと流石に左クリック横のボタン(奥)や、 チルトホイールなどを何度も押すのはきついのですが、サイドボタンがとにかく使いやすい。 同じ形状のように見えて上下段共に微妙に傾斜がついていて、 そして上段の方が少しせり出しているおかげで、どれがどれだかわからないとか、 同時押しが辛い、誤爆しやすいという事もないです。 流石に対角線上斜め同時押しは無理そうでしたが。 サイドボタンは勿論、他のボタンのクリック感もKOVA AIMOの時に思ったような 「このボタン、どれぐらいもつのだろうか…？」と不安を感じさせるような感触ではないです。 特に一部のレビューで壊れやすいと書かれているホイールも、 KOVA AIMOと比べれば天と地の差があります。 KOVA AIMOのホイールはかなり耐久性が低く、過去に2台ほど購入したものの、 壊れるのが怖く、あまり使わないでいて久々に押すと、ベコンッと凹むような感触があり、 最終的に反応し辛くなったり、完全に反応しなくなったりといった散々な具合だったのですが、 こちらは無印KOVAを思い出すような堅牢性が感じられる押し心地。 クリック、左右チルト、ともにしっかりとした安心感のあるクリック感だと思います。 現に購入してから半年経ちますが、日常の作業とゲームで毎日使っているものの、 どのボタンもしっかりと機能しており、 チャタリング等も起きていません（これがフラグ建築にならない事を祈りつつ）。 個人的には無印KOVAの上を行く名機だと思っています。 ただROCCATのいいところは、高級すぎない価格帯で手に入るという部分もあったと思うのですが、 昔は最安で6000円台だったのに今は余裕で1万を超えているので、 今後の事や故障した時の事を考えると少し怖いですね。 レビューがかなり割れていて不安だったのですが、 自分にとっては色々な意味で当たりのマウスで本当に良かったです。 以下、レビューで割れている部分で参考にしたものと、 実機を触っての印象を簡単に列記しておきます。 ・無線と有線で堅牢性が異なる 自分は有線モデル、また白のKOVA AIMOで初期不良に当たった事があるので、 ジンクスで黒を購入。 ・すぐに壊れる 約半年時点（日常での作業・ゲームを毎日）の使用で正常に動作中。 ・サイドボタン 見た目がかなりシンプルなので画像からはわかりにくいが、かなり押しやすく使いやすい。 ゲームやボタンの割り当て方にもよるが、デフォルトでサムボタンに設定されているEasy-Shiftを 四つのうちのどれかに割り当ててもいい感じになると思う（自分はデフォルトのまま）。 ・左クリック横のボタン（奥・手前） 奥・手前はそれぞれ、ROCCAT Swarmで表示される8・9。 平均的な成人男性の手の大きさにおいて、想像以上に咄嗟に押しやすい。 最近はあまりFPS等はしていないものの、手前（9）は特に押しやすく、 ゲームによっては左クリックと同じぐらい使う動作の割り当てに適していると思う。 ・ホイール関連 クリックはしっかりとした押し心地、左右ティルトも安心感のあるクリック感。 流石にメインボタンとして使うのにはやや不安が残るが、 あまり使わない特定の操作等に割り当てるのにはかなり良い。 耐久性は少なくともKOVA AIMOより上、現在も正常に動作中。 ホイールによるスクロールも正常。ただ微妙に一刻みの判定が甘いのか、 かなり稀に手を放して1秒後ぐらいに上下どちらかに移動する事がある。 ・ケーブル ROCCAT純正のマウスバンジー（ROCCAT APURI RAW）を使用。今のところ断線などの問題はなし。 ただ、KOVAシリーズと比べてケーブル全長がやや短めに感じる。 個人的には以前までの硬さのある編み込みケーブルの方が 折り癖のある部分でポイントを決めて配線しやすかったので好き。 ※上記の内容は全て2024/10/26時点
