ROCCAT Kone Pro Air Gaming PC Wireless Mouse Bluetooth Ergonomic Performance Computer Mouse with 19K DPI Optical Sensor

The Kone Pro Air is a great mouse. I upgraded from the wired Kone Pure Ultra. The Pro Air retains a very similar ergo shape with the thumb groove on the side, the large side buttons, and the superb mouse wheel. Since the shape was so similar, adapting was pretty easy, and the best part is that I'm no longer fighting the wire. In a lot of mouse or peripheral reviews in general, the writer will say something like "Will this thing make you a better player? No!" However, in the case of the Kone Pro Air, I do think it has made me better. I just got out of a Modern Warfare 3 2-hour session of Shipment/Rust and I can perceptibly feel that my tracking and flicking has gotten faster, smoother, and more accurate. You really don't understand how much a mouse wire can bog you down until you go without one for a few weeks. And I had been using a mouse bungee too. I held out on buying a wireless mouse because I was always skeptical of latency, but this mouse is IMMEDIATE over a 2.4ghz WiFi network. Lighting is a little understated as it only shows up under the two main mouse buttons instead of around the whole mouse (like many Roccat mice), but it looks good. Only couple caveats I'll mention here are that Swarm is pretty buggy and the initial pairing process was a little cumbersome. Swarm will show the mouse charged to 100% and display "4 hours remaining." There is also no way to stop the mouse from turning the RGB off after a minute of it being idle (I made sure to turn power saving mode off). And when I got the mouse I had to do a little 20 minute song and dance or plugging the mouse in, hitting the pair button on the dongle, unplugging it, etc. Eventually I got there and I've zero problems since (and I use a KVM switch), but I thought that was worth mentioning. The Owl Eye sensor is spot on and the PTFE feet glide super smoothly over my Skypad 3.0 (glass mousepad). Roccat also includes a spare set of feet, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, I am very pleased. If you have tried other Kone mice and want to make the jump to wireless, you should be very happy with the Kone Pro Air. Read more

It tracks perfectly, and all buttons and the scroll wheel feel precise and high quality. It's quite light, and the BT works perfectly. The LED RGB lighting is superfluous, but it's a nice touch. The shape is not as great as the old Kone Pure, but it's not far off. I would prefer it to be a bit smaller and deeper contoured on the sides, but this mouse shape is almost perfect. The built in battery lasts for several days of use, and recharges easily. I have no regrets with this purchase. Read more

I've used this mouse for about a month now. Here are my thoughts on this wonderful mouse. Pros: -extremely low latency wireless -top tier stock feet that don't need replacing. ( Aftermarket feet will probably perfor 5-10% better if you really want that edge ) -large side buttons -great coating -ergonomic shape that fits well for MY grip style -unique RGB implementation -easy storage for the dongle under the mouse -dual mode pairing with bluetooth connectivity (bluetooth mode offers dramatically more battery life. about 3x more usage time available Cons: -optical switch clicks just cannot match the sound and feel of mechanical switch clicks. the crispiness is missed -the ergonomic shape, while comfortable for ME, is not for everyone, as it can alienate the gripstyle's of others due to forcing a specific grip -no adapter for the included cable to plug the receiver into ( if you've had other wireless gaming mice I think you'd know what I'm talking about. ) -no infinite scroll wheel ( coming from a g503 lightspeed, this is a feature that I miss ) -the rgb implementation, while unique, may not be for everyone Wireless mice these days are pretty much all great. With wireless tech being as good as wired, sensor tech coming as far as it has and with companies all pretty much using their own implementation of the same sensor from one company, performance of these mice are pretty much all the same. What it comes down to is shape. And while this is a 5 star mouse for me due to the shape, it is definitely not a "one size fits all," but more a "perfect shape for some." If this shape looks like it will fit your grip style, I say give this a try. It's definitely unique in the market for it's shape, so if the shape is right for you, it's pretty much the only one out there like it. Read more

Good mouse, great battery life but school wheel is annoying. When you try to scroll up or down, the page goes opposite direction at first. I had this problem with another Roccat model. I can’t believe this company is not aware of this. Read more
