Roccat Tyon Multi-Button White Gaming Mouse Review

Tyon White

The Roccat Tyon has long been one of my favourite gaming mice. I’ve actually had one on my desk for quite some time now. However, I have the dull old black and grey one. Now, the Roccat Tyon is back and it’s got its formal suit on thanks to a new white top. But Peter, it’s just a new colour, who cares? Well, a hell of a lot of people do. Aesthetics have become as big a part of the PC gaming market as performance for many. When it comes to creating a unique and stylish gaming system, matching the aesthetics of your hardware is a lot of fun. Of course, that’s not for everyone. However, there’s something nice about sitting at your desk, and everything looking just the way you want it. Of course, if the performance is amazing too, you’re winning both battles in one move.

Features

The Tyon comes equipped with a high-performance sensor, a plethora of onboard controls, full RGB lighting, onboard processing and storage, and more. This makes it one of the most feature-packed gaming mice on the market today. It’s capable of tackling everything from FPS to MMORPG games with the complexity of a Swiss Army Knife but the simplicity of a Machete.
