The Kone XTD's stylish black box is littered with content relating to the mouse's key features. With DPI capability, Easy-Shift[+] functionality and the colour-customisable LED configuration outlined on the box front, consumers can make a quick and informed decision of whether the Kone XTD's specifications are suitable for their requirements.
Opening the front flap reveals another annotated image of the Roccat Kone XTD mouse and the accompanying features. A transparent plastic shell gives consumers a convenient glance at the mouse without having to commit to a purchase.
A solitary quick installation guide comprises the supplied bundle. No driver disc is provided – Roccat directs users to a software download webpage.
Im hard to please, and was using Steelseries for years, never really got into Razer mice, but I bought a Roccat mouse last year and love it. this is next on my list, before christmas!
thats very expensive, but razer are around the same price. I like the shape, shame about the software issues, but it might be a bug or something they will iron out. I had a problem on my Sensei mouse, I updated the firmware and it killed the mouse as it failed. they had a fix for it, but it took weeks for them to sort it out.
Very nicely styled, looks bigger too. I hate the wimpy small mice, ive big hands.
Used a few of their mice in the past, always well built and nicely packaged.
Great review Luke, well detailed and honest.
Love the design too, they use a very appealing material on the top shell which gives grip but feels great.
Never had a roccat mouse,. im still using an old logitech which I love, but I might treat myself in december as ill get crap presents from my friends and family which I never like.
This and a Kindle on my list !
Looks actually very like my Logitech I think. Not a bad thing. I can’t see how anyone could effectively use 8,200 dpi however. even 5,200 dpi is ‘twitchy’.
Luke is this your favourite mouse?
Davis, I don’t hold any particular preferences – I prefer to see the strengths and weaknesses of a particular product in comparison to another. In this case, the mouse has a good set of strengths with only a few weaknesses. It certainly is an excellent mouse and I’m sure that anybody would be happy to use it… and perhaps call it their favourite :).
Personally i got a logitech g510 keyboard for my first gaming keyboard and im not very impressed… it cheap like the other but with color…
Razer i see some mouse at a shop near my house.. i dont want them they look cheap… i think if one fall all the part break… And roccat i dont no?? it this heavy plastic?? or cheap plastic?
Looks good. Maybe finally a worthy replacement, to my Logietch MX510.
Will really consider getting this unit.
We have worked with Roccat and discovered a work-around to the slow software problem, as detailed in the relevant update to the review.
Can you use this mouse, out-of-the-box?
And how does it perform that way?
As I’m used to a plug and play MX510 logitech without the need of any software.
