ROCCAT releases new Kone mouse

27-9-2010 19:45

ROCCAT has oficially released an updated version of its highly-popular Kone mouse.

The new mouse, called ROCCAT Kone[+], boasts a 6000dpi laser sensor with a Tracking & Distance Control United (TDCU), both of which provide much more precision than its predecessor.

One of the key features of this new mouse is the introduction of the EasyShift[+] button, which further enhances the capacity to choose between configuration options.

To improve the gamers' comfort, ROCCAT has made it so that the Kone[+], which offers a 10.5 megapixel resolution and 1000Hz polling rate, keeps the highly-praised hybrid shell, but with several changes: the mouse wheel is "completely new", the wider design makes it "easier to control", the button above the wheel has been made larger and there is now a toggle switch below it.

The Kone[+] also allows you to assign two different functions, such as macros, to each button, including the mouse wheel, which allows you to have a total of 22 functions available at any time, instead of the usual 12. You can also customize the weight of your mouse, thanks to 4x 5g weights, to adjust it to your preferences.

You can find more info about the ROCCAT Kone[+] here, or by checking the video review below:

The ROCCAT Kone[+] is already available in stores worldwide with a recommended retail price of €79,99.

2010-09-28 16:48

yes design is gr8, but the quality (unfortunately) lack something, specially the last KONE btw they should use USB3 and the price is just crazy.

Are you sure you can't buy from their site? We don't have euroes, and it's not a problem at all..

2010-09-28 08:54

Looks really bad tbh.

with that prize i'd rather would have gone with the Xai lol.

Looks super heavy.

retail price - €79,99 ^________________^

2010-09-27 19:53

Do you really base your elections on pro-[layers, thats stupid, they play with what their sponsors say....

2010-09-27 20:24

2010-09-27 23:22

2010-09-28 08:04

You're wrong.

2010-09-27 20:43

actually hes right :)) i think only heaton play on that s*it and maybe u too

2010-09-27 21:00

Whole p00nhandleRs team play with it too. But I think you just don't know how good it actually is. It's a lot like MSI 3.0, and that mouse surely aint bad.

2010-09-27 21:53

i have no idea before was ie 3.0 best mouse now, uses many of "ppl/Pros" stuff from Steelseries btw: i like the roccat style in kone+

2010-09-27 23:06

EC is imo the best mouse to this date, shape very sexy in the hand :D

2010-09-27 20:56

Agree! EC1 is by far the best mouse i have ever used! And ive tryed prettymuch all mouses there are but never changed out my 3.0 untill now!

2010-09-28 01:09

ok then Zowie is "one" of the best mices ever

2010-09-28 13:04

4 me mx518 sux rly...

2010-09-27 20:30

looks ince

yeah looks nice :)

2010-09-27 20:02

Ain't worth it :)

2010-09-27 20:04

looks like robot :D i more like classy ones

guy should cut off his nails a bit ijs ... LOL

2010-09-27 20:11

hahaha dude i was thinking the same shit!

2010-09-27 22:41

roccat not sell in Brazil and even in south america unfortunately: /

2010-09-27 20:17

Horrible mouse, looks cheap and is very expensive imo for a mouse

what do you guys think of razer imperator? worth buying or not. I heard it has z-axis problem. yes or nor?

2010-09-27 20:18

a friend of mine has it... the mouse is orgasmic (if you can say that about a mouse), but yes, it has the Z-Axis Problem, but from what I've heard they're tryin' to fix the problem, so maybe if we give them some time they'll solve it; other than that the mouse is PERFECT.

€79,99 rofl i better buy 1.1 SE

simple mouse is the best mouse! and optical mouse > laser. Thats true on fps games.

1.1A thats all you need

2010-09-27 20:52

nice

2010-09-27 20:55

This mose is great, I would like one of these. I got Roccat Kova and it works perfectly, also have IME 3.0 but I changed it for kova. ROCCAT products are really good.

2010-09-27 21:03

does he said 6000dpi sensor? LOOL :D

2010-09-27 21:23

79 euros ?? nahhhhh! is this mouse better than XAI ?

2010-09-27 21:28

Xai > World.

Have you ever tried the SS Xai? to say that i don't belive.

4 replies

maybe xai and kinzu are ok, but ikari was a big fail, so since then I never look at ss mouses, but hey, if I win some, it will be welcome :D The rest of steelseries products are good, i got 2 of them and it works perfectly

2010-09-28 15:06

So you do not try the Xai so don't say bullshit plz.

2010-09-28 19:41

ok my bad, I am very very sorry :( but you failed with "xai > world"

2010-09-29 23:29

maybe :s

2010-09-29 23:45

i got SS Kinzu...and it works perfectly for me ;)

2010-09-27 23:20

design is very nice i like!

2010-09-27 21:55

lool, this guys don't understand that gamers, almost all of them, want a simple, 3 to 5 buttons, mouse.. stop trying to do diferent, usualy diferent is better, but in this case, you just have to base your mouse design in the 3.0, 1.1 or mx, that's it. no 10000000000000 dpi's mouse needed, plz

2010-09-27 21:58

2010-09-27 22:16

+1 maybe this mouse is to cater those with super human reflexes and control. Then again, even the great Chuck Norris couldn't handle 6000dpi.

2010-09-27 22:36

roccat has great mouses..... but its more design than gaming mouse ;D bcz CS players perfer old school style ;D

2010-09-27 22:01

rofl 6000 dpi what a waste...

2010-09-27 22:08

useless

2010-09-27 22:11

6000 dpi, how unnecessary.

2010-09-27 22:12

"...6000dpi laser sensor....which provide much more precision...." dy.fi/y0f

2010-09-27 22:14

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

2010-09-28 11:48

nice but my mx518 is better :X

2010-09-27 22:19

2010-09-27 22:47

This mouse looks well made.. if you compare the buttons to a razer dA, a xai or some other mouse it looks much better. But still for fps games it looks very big and with to much junk, and price don't helps really.. this is the kidna of mouse that that mooding dudes have, to match with the computer. Offtopic: 1.1 + ss grip. And you have a pro mouse. Somebody can explain me why the 1.1 from zowie costs almost 70 euros? The normal version costs 14€ with 7 euros you got the anti sweet pack that for me is the only problem of the normal version.

2010-09-27 22:48

i bought a 1.1 for 10€.. :)

Despite featuring the same name the mouse characteristic might differ (differentt fps, the zowie seem to have fixed to wheel problem etc.).

2010-09-28 17:39

no dude. i searched about it.. the only thing they switched was the paint and the skates.. what can cost you only 15€ max.. you buy a 1.1 normal you can get it for 10€ to 14€ mas you buy ss grip for 5€ or 7€ max and the saktes for 5€.. it won't be as pretty as the zowie 1 but will be the same mouse.. i don't think that a 1.1 should cost more than a razer da only because fo the painting. From 14€ to 60€ its a lot.. it costs the same as a xai or razer da. It woulded be pretty stupid buy this mouse instead of those two. x)

2010-09-29 07:45

As said, as far as I know if the price is different it is usually due to the technical characteristics being different too ;)

2010-09-29 20:20

he is right nothing changed at the mwheel

2010-09-29 21:03

Yeah dude x) the champgne one the goldy one is so beatifull x) but still i'm not willing to pay por 40 for the paiting x). I rather play with my mooded razer da with steelseries grip or take my 1.1 aply ss grip on it. x)

2010-09-29 22:03

just Deathadder :-<

how can you play with a mouse like that? :p

2010-09-27 23:13

looks nice..

2010-09-27 23:21

another mouse nobody will use, I've never seen someone use a roccat EVER

2010-09-27 23:37

Totally Agree with #72...

2010-09-28 00:12

has anyone noticed the guy's neanderthal nails ? :o 04:53

2010-09-28 03:27

ahahha ofc x) i did pretty nasty

2010-09-28 07:20

Having abit long nails actually helps typing faster.

2010-09-28 08:15

I duno you.. but for me.. it makes me feel dirty to start, and it makes really uncomfortable to type and to old the mouse because of the mousepad.

2010-09-28 11:39

SteelSeries brand is much better

2010-09-28 13:57

Steelseries are the best by far !

2010-09-29 14:06

Even with 10 000 DPI it won't have the same performance as the SteelSeries mice

2010-09-28 15:45

...

2010-09-28 17:38

skool ecin

2010-09-28 18:24

I'd never spend money on any roccat product. Ugh..

2010-09-28 19:02

kone sucks imo

2010-09-28 19:43

static.ogc.hu/images/pod/5/58/583ec7bf08.. Best mouse ever!

2010-09-29 14:04

looks nice ;)

2010-09-29 14:08

looks too fat.

2010-09-29 15:40

Bought a razer mamba today, since my setup doesnt leave me much room for wires. Anyway it was pricey to say the least but its worth it works like a charm, atleast with wow.
