ROCCAT Kone Pro

The ROCCAT Kone Pro is an excellent mouse for FPS gaming. It has remarkably low click latency, it's very lightweight, and it feels well-built. It has a comfortable right-handed shape that's ideal for all grip types, but small hands may not be able to reach both side buttons using a fingertip grip. It also has a cable that feels very flexible, excellent mouse feet, a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 50, and an adjustable lift-off distance you can set very low.

The Roccat Kone Pro is a very comfortable ergonomic mouse with a unique look and shape that’s more considerate of the ring and pinky fingers than most rivals. Its mundane plastic can easily attract moisture, dust and fingerprints. But once you download the mouse’s software, there’s a lot of programmability.

The Roccat Kone Pro is a formidable gaming mouse with a lightweight design that makes it quick off the mark on your mouse mat. It also has impressively fast buttons and looks very stylish thanks to two dazzling RGB lighting zones.

The Roccat Kone Pro is a comfortable and effective gaming mouse, with particularly striking RGB lighting. It's expensive for what it does, though, and the software could be better.

Despite feeling light as a feather, the Roccat Kone Pro offers some serious esports grade performance and some fine customizability options through the Roccat Swarm app and RGB lighting. Unfortunately, driverless profile setup options don’t make up for the lack of direct DPI adjustment buttons.
