How Much Does it Cost?
The Roccat Kone Pro White Gaming Mouse is available now from most major retailers. Amazingly, it also appears that it’s largely in stock too, which is a welcome treat in this modern world. It’s currently just £59.00, which is, quite frankly, fantastic value for money. Of course, it’s not a cheap mouse, but it uses premium hardware and performance, which far out-paces the price tag.
Overview
Roccat has delivered many of the coolest looking gaming mice I’ve ever seen. That was true when I started doing this ten years ago, and it’s clearly still true today. Sure, style is subjective, but the unique design and the way they have integrated the RGB into the nose of the mouse certainly stands out, without taking away from the classic design the Kone series is known for.
They’ve managed to give us vibrant and colourful RGB implementation but also managed to keep the mouse looking clean, modern and stylish. It’ll look just as good with the lights off, if that’s what you so desire. Plus, the new white finish is just stunning, but there’s a black model out there too, if you so desire.
Performance
The Kone Pro can hold its own against anything else on the market. I’ve used mice that cost twice this that aren’t technically any better. The sensor is as flawless as you could ever hope for, delivering smooth tracking throughout the whole DPI range. The Titan Optical Switch technology is well proven, and overall they just feel tight and responsive, making them well suited to fast-paced gameplay.
However, I also have to commend the ultra-light 66-grams design. Shedding weight from the mouse body, the new lightweight Titan Wheel, and even that new lightweight paracord on the USB cable. It all adds up to a very light yet very durable feeling mouse. Furthermore, the massive PTFE pads on the bottom mean that even if this mouse weighed twice what it does, it would still glide with ease.
Should I Buy One?
Roccat has really nailed the details on this one. It’s a fan service, in that it’s the same classic shape they’ve produced for over ten years now. However, it’s just a little more refined, it’s better made, it uses more premium materials, and it’s just overall a better product. Add to that some killer hardware for class-leading performance, and honestly, you’ll be hard pushed to find anything better for the same money.
