ROCCAT Tyon

The ROCCAT Tyon is a decent mouse for FPS games. While it has a low click latency and excellent sensor performance, unfortunately, it's a heavy mouse which may not be ideal for FPS games. Its cable is also quite stiff and may drag on your desk unless you use a bungee. The mouse itself is quite large, and people with small hands will have a hard time reaching all the buttons regardless of grip type.

The Roccat Tyon is brimming with features, including innovations you won't find on other gaming mice, but for the fullest experience, you'll need to pair it with a Roccat keyboard.

Roccat calls the Tyon the next evolution in combat gaming peripherals, and it has a pretty strong claim for saying so. It is in essence just a high-end gaming mouse with masses of buttons but unlike some many-buttoned mice we’ve seen before all the extras here are thoughtfully positioned and serve a distinct purpose.

Although it's pricey, the Roccat Tyon is colorful, responsive and innovative.

Purely in terms of hardware, Tyon is superb—it has a fantastic form factor, with a great weight and comfortable grip. It also offers incredible customization ranging from simplistic lighting features to an Easy Shift thumb-button that doubles the functionality of everything on the mouse. Unfortunately, the experience of using it is dragged down somewhat by its other unique buttons: the dorsal fin atop the mouse primarily just gets in the way, and the analog thumb switch lacks the necessary precision to be worthwhile. The additional buttons on either side of the left/right buttons are inconveniently placed as well. But if you can live with this mouse's foibles (and its $100 price tag), its benefits are hard to pass on if you want to be a better, more effective player in MOBAs and shooters.

The Roccat Tyon wins PCWorld’s 2015 Award for Most Buttons, but a few aspects could use some fine-tuning.
