ROCCAT Kone XTD & Kone Pure Gaming Mice Review - PAGE 1

If you've been in the market for mice over the past few years, you may have heard of a company named ROCCAT. Based in Germany, ROCCAT largely focuses on computer peripherals for enthusiasts and gamers, producing products that look as stylish as they are functional. Slick blacks and blues are the highlight of the company branding – a style reminiscent of Razer's black and green theme.

Today, we will be looking at two of ROCCAT's newest gaming mice, the Kone XTD and Kone Pure. The Kone XTD is the larger of the two and boasts "Maximum Customization" by featuring 4 independently-lit LEDs, 8 fully programmable buttons, and an adjustable weight system. Not to be outdone, the Kone Pure features its own 16.8 million-color customizable lighting system and 7 programmable buttons. Both mice are wrapped in a soft-touch finish and come with an internal 72MHz Turbo Core V2 processor, an 8200DPI Pro-Aim R3 laser sensor, and ROCCAT's trademarked Easy-Shift[+] button; basically a Function key that gives each mouse button a secondary function.

ROCCAT's Kone XTD and Kone Pure look to be designed with enough technology to keep the savviest of computer and gaming enthusiasts pleased. Let's see how well they are truly implemented in our review!
