I am in LOVE with this mouse. All the negative reviews are full of s***.
First off, the cable, is NOT stiff, at all. It seems that way, but once you unravel it, its fine. I have zero issues with it.
Secondly, people complained that one of the thumb buttons doesn't work right. Well if you installed the Roccat software, you'd notice that the "back" thumb button is actually set to "shift+" which allows all buttons to have 2 uses instead of one, like a shift key. Simply change the shift+ to "ie back" and bam, just like every other mouse.
The software is flawless, some said it takes to long for the program to update the mouse when you apply settings, they must have a slow PC because it doesn't take long at all.
I came from using many mice. In my time my absolute favorite mouse (RIP) is the old first gen Microsoft optical (400dpi). It was the lightest, easiest mouse to use and worked flawlessly for gaming. After that mouse died years later and Microsoft never selling the exact model anymore, I had gone to razer. I had used mice like the death adder, lachesis, all first gen versions were junk. The lachesis was laser which is god awful of a product, considering your mouse would jitter a crossed the screen from the acceleration, sad. Owned it for a short time until it broke and I tossed it in the trash. After that I had a Logitech g-whatever mouse, like the oldschool first gen version of the g400. everyone at the time was buying them, and as much as I liked the mouse, I hated the buggy logitech software. Then I had given razer another chance with the first gen death adder. It was the best mouse they made IMO. But, it still wasn't good enough. My first one cable wore on the edge of the desk, so I got another logitech g-whatever and then its braided cable ripped on the back edge of the desk so I got another death adder. From there ive had so many mice i can't even begin to remember them all. Lately i had been using a Cooler Master CM Storm SPAWN mouse. Brilliant shape, felt great, but the optical device inside felt lacking. I knew it wasn't perfect, but for the time i dealt with it knowing i didn't want another crappy razer product, not to mention razers crappy software they now have that I personally don't like.
So I recently bought this little bad bitch, the ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical. What a lovely mouse. Fits my hand perfectly, literally the perfect size for my hand. The material its made of or painted with is brilliant. Its soft touch and man is it soft. My hand doesn't get sweaty have long play sessions like the other mice. (the razer products have that glossy paint job that my hand sweats, and the cooler master spawn had rubber thumb side and regular paint side which caused my hand to sweat, this for some reason doesn't!).
The optical sensor, is so effing nice. I haven't had such a smooth optical mouse in a long time. Its so nice in fact, that apparently i had gotten used to mice being inaccurate when playing fps to where i am now missing shots because of overcompensation. But im slowly learning proper aim again with a mouse that isn't s***ty.
