So after all that gaming and playing and shooting and strategising – honestly, this is a real job – how did I find both the Sense and the Kone Pure, both with their Camo Charge stylings? They are both solid peripherals which most gamers would be more than happy with.
I say most, because of course, unlike ambidextrous mice which are usable by both left and right handed gamers (as long as the buttons are re-mappable) the Kone Pure Camo Charge is a right hand only mouse, sorry lefties.
That said, if you are right handed and you are a gamer on the look out for a reasonably priced (£57 at the time of writing) gaming mouse, this rodent does a great job. It is sensitive enough without it getting ridiculous, has solid accuracy and is stupendously comfortable.
It is also backed up by Roccat's robust back end software, which while pretty and easy to navigate as ever, also offers up some nice tweakable options for those that want to go deep into the bowels of their mouse to craft something truly personal to them.
The Roccat Epic Voice guy will also swing by to say hello every time you change the DPI. It would annoy me over time, but I am sure some will enjoy it.
When it comes to using the mouse, just remember you will need a mat, as that optical sensor dances all over the place when moving around on your desk surface. The Roccat Sense Camo Charge 2mm is a strong recommendation for that position as dedicated gaming surface.
Yes it is a bit thin for my taste and the kill counts in the top left corner feel a little juvenile, but for the most part it does an excellent job and styling wise it certainly blends in well with its Kone military partner.
All in all, the Roccat Kone Pure Camo Charge and Sense Camo Charge mouse mat are fine peripherals, that work well together or apart. They are not perfect, but few mice are. For what they will set you back, they should be a strong consideration, especially if you like the colour scheme.
The Roccat Kone Pure Camo Charge can be found for £57 on OCUK, with the Sense Camo Charge 2mm priced at £16 at the same location.
