Customer Ratings & Reviews

Actually just a terrible mouse. The program to update the thing doesn’t even work. Waste of money if you like to change settings on your mouse.

The amount of hours i put into this mouse has allowed me to play so many games without having to feel restricted by a wire

Software sucks on this. Keeps changing on you no. Dpi changes from 400-600 canr raise it any higher than that. Any settings you adjust you have to restart pc. Rgb keeps turning off

The ROCCAT Kone XP Air Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse is an amazing wireless or Bluetooth device. I have used this mouse both wireless with the mini USB connector as well as Bluetooth connection. I have used it with a small ultra laptop as well as my mac without fail. Lighting is really sharp and awesome that it changes as you are using it. Really like the blues, teals, purples, reds, yellow, greens that appear with the black lines in between the colors to make some unique design. Scroll Wheel is soft and quiet while using. I am using this with Windows 11 which identified the mouse quickly on Bluetooth and started working immediately. Mouse is lightweight and easy to use. The buttons can switch windows on the internet browser from one tab to another or windows all together. I have found the instructions simple and to the point no issues with it working as expected. Easy to travel with this mouse as well since it is lightweight, full size mouse but very sleek design makes it easy to pack in your backpack or tote and take it with you to use anywhere.

Mouse worked great for about 4.5 months. Then it just stopped registering clicks. Tried all the basic troubleshooting but no dice. Hope ROCCAT can fix. this mouse was tooooooo expensive to crap out after such a short amount of time.

Purchased this mouse in the beginning of December and as of right now in March 2024 the scroll mechanism no longer works

Went from a good run with a razer basilisk to this. This mouse is just flat out perfection.

This has got to be a gamers only type of mouse. Very difficult to programs with standard programs. Returned to store.

I love this mouse so much I had to get the black and the white :)

Mouse is amazing definitely recommend for any gamer

Wasn't what i expected. I wouldn't recommend this mouse to anyone.

Great mouse.... Super customizable. Firmware update was initially confusing. You have to have both mouse and dongle directly connected to PC USB port. It can't pass through the dock. After I figured it out it took about 15 mins to update. Setup was super easy. Both Bluetooth and dongle was easy to connect with windows 11. Light customization was easy. Button configuration was easy too. Software was easy to install and navigate. Drills down on the mouse options pretty well. Precision was nice. I used during both game place and with AutoCad and it worked really well. Battery life was supreme. I used it for 4 days straight for worked and 2 game play sessions at night and the battery held just fine. Feel of the mouse is nice. Fits in your hand nicely and reduces fatigue. The sliders are nice and smooth and fast. The dock is a nice feature to showcase your mouse. This is a pretty nice touch. Overall good mouse. Many options and nice color scheme that is easy to control. I would recommend this mouse.

This mouse feels perfect in my ‘medium size hand. The surface has a matte finish which feels nice and looks great too. The shape where your thumb rests is just the right amount of concave depression to hold your thumb and gives you confident feel against my ring finger on the other side of the mouse. Tip of the cap to the physical design engineers. The translucent shell looks beautiful and artistic with 5 lighting zones - in a word fabulous. The mouse has very crisp button feel and the scroll is the smoothest ever. On top of these features is an innovative charging cradle. You plug the cradle into a computer USB port, and plug the dongle into the charger. Whenever you want to charge the mouse, you can put it on the cradle. The cradle also produces lighting effects. Very nice added feature. You can also plug the dongle directly into the computer port, but I found placing the dongle into the cradle was more useful. The mouse will sit in the cradle above the dongle without interference. This of course is for your wireless 2.4 GHz gaming setup. You can also connect the mouse via Bluetooth. I found the Bluetooth setup nice if I’m traveling. You get 5 hours of play time per charge which is fine for me. Lastly as far as connectivity you can also use the supplied cable directly between mouse and computer. The optical sensor is very precise. It has the ROCCAT’s Optical Titan Switches for very fast registration and 19K DPI sensoring. I played a few games with the mouse and it was fantastic, fast response time and yet it was wireless and easy to manipulate. Another tip of the cap to the technology in this device. Mechanically on the bottom are ‘Teflon like’ skid plates (glides) and this material proved to be a great addition for ease of surface movement. Don’t forget to remove the protective blue skin to reveal the glide surfaces. Run your finger over the blue skin, then remove it and run your finger over the glides – wow, the glides are smoother than a silk tie. Even the charging cable has a cloth like very soft and flexible surface. The web site to download software is wonderful. Well designed and will provide you details on ways to program and setup your mouse as desired. You should use the web site to download the latest software, including the latest firmware. Note when you update firmware that you will connect the mouse directly to a USB port and put the dongle into another USB port – this ensures both device’s firmware is updated. This is a higher end mouse with sophisticated internal technology and a beautiful external design. The translucent shell is just plain gorgeous. The functionality and specifications are tops. Be sure to download the software and use it to set up the parameters the way you like. It is easy – great. I highly recommend this exceptional product.

Great Wireless Mouse, the fact the charging station comes on a long cable with a place to put the wireless transmitter is just perfect, it means I can keep the transmitter close to the mouse when in use and don't have to worry about blocking a USB in the front of my case or run a cable with the dongle from the back, I can just plug in the total docking station and then rest the mouse on it for charging when I'm done using my PC, it means my mouse is always charged and I don't worry about it running out of charge, this is a great idea that solves really the most annoying part of wireless mice for me having to find a place for dongle and then remembering to plug it in after I finish gaming/using my PC. From a gaming aspect out of the box no fancy setup needed. Windows picks up the mouse it lights and ready to go. Only complaint is the center mouse button to click has a bit more travel and can be hard to click down because you also click left and right with it, but overall I'm impressed and love it. The software from Roccat to adjust the mouse is fine and I didn't notice any issues when setting up the RGB or adjusting the buttons on the mouse for myself, but it really only needed for those thing, otherwise I never open it. For someone looking for a good mouse for gaming that is easy to keep charged and looks great with RGB this one is the one for you.

The ROCCAT Kone XP Air Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with Charging Dock finally fixes the need for a chord by providing a docking station for your wireless mouse for any time you need a quick recharge or at the end of a busy day in the office or gaming. Just drop your mouse on the charging dock and your set for the next use. ROCCAT Kone XP blends a perfect mix of design flourishes with functionality and comfort. Well formed for all-day use, it is ergonomic without being oddly shaped. It has all the function buttons needed to master your gaming or blazing through spreadsheets. The LED lighting is well done, adding a unique style without being overboard on the bling. The docking station mirrors the LED colors and sequence to bring a perfect styling addition to your descktop. I found this mouse to be excellent. It felt good for extended use and looks great. I get a lot of comments on the unique internal LED lighting and the dock! PROS - ROCCAT brand, design, and styling - Perfectly functional buttons and features - Charging dock - LED lighting CONS - None at this time

I used the Kone XP Air for a little over two weeks. I have used multiple Roccat products in the past and have never truly been satisfied with their performance. Unfortunately, the mouse is over encumbered with too many programmable buttons. This may be a positive for RTS or MMO type games, but the buttons themselves are also much too close together. This caused a few kinetic input errors that resulted in a few faulty responses in game. The Roccat software also leaves a lot to be desired. It presents too many options all at once that is not very user friendly, especially to first time users. I did prefer the ergonomics over several other options I tested. It fit in my hand comfortably, and it did not slip out during a session. The scroll wheel was responsive and it had many sensitivity options to fit your liking. The charger is a nice option; however, the mouse will fall off with the slightest bump to the table or tap of the mouse. Overall, i did not prefer this mouse over other options such as the G-Pro Wireless Super Light.

great shape, and excellent settings. love the dock, a good upgrade with plenty of buttons and ergonomic shape.

I play a lot of competitive PC games. Not that I'm competitive with them or good at them or anything, but I just enjoy them. Call of Duty, Halo Infinite, League of Legends, and these types of games where split seconds of reaction time can win or lose a fight or a game. I've used a pretty broad variety of gaming mice over the last few years and in general, every mouse has had at least one or two perks that I liked more than the others. The ROCCAT Kone XP is a bit different. It's the first mouse I've had with a built in "shift" key right on the thumb to allow for even more customization and hotkey selections. This is extremely useful in so many ways. The default setup even has quick shift functions for CTRL+C and CTRL+V and since I use my setup for both gaming and work, that has been incredibly useful. Battery life is pretty solid, I've put in some big hours so far and not had to recharge. However, I have built the habit of placing the mouse on the dock whenever I am finished, so this likely has helped. The LED styling is very cool with a translucent top though you rarely see it when you're actually using the mouse. Of course, as is common with most gaming mice nowadays, you can load multiple profiles for various games, change your DPI around depending on need, change the hotkeys for each profile, and even line up color themed LED patterns to match the vibe. Also, very lightweight. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

I love a lot about this mouse but not everything. I absolutely love the charging station and the built in USB slot. I put the dongle right there and that frees up the 2 USB slots on the front of my PC where I had always had to give up on of them for my past mice. Due to the location of my PC, the rear ones never worked well with my mice. That was a great problem to solve as I was always having to swap 2 things in my remaining slot. Huge problem solved for me just by having the charging station for this. Never mind how nice it is just to be able to drop the mouse on it to charge rather than try to fish a cable in to it. Now on to the actual mouse. It's a lot lighter than my prior mice and I'm still getting used to it. I almost think I need to put it on a mouse pad now instead of just using my desk. I just don't have one at the moment to try it out on. It's so light, the lack of resistance is a little odd so far. Not sure how to explain it. It is super sensitive and there are so may programmable buttons that are great but I probably would never use half of them without retraining my brain. The RGB setting in the app were a little wonky and not saving what I was choosing when I first set it up. I eventually got it how I wanted it but it took a lot more time than I think it should have. I'll just leave it on my blue and purple and be done with it. Overall, I'm really going to like this and highly recommend it

This mouse is terrible, or rather the software is. Every now and then it completely loses the ability to left click. This is my second one doing this. To restore it you have to reset the firmware and remake your profiles. Roccat swarm software is amateur at best; i do not recommend this product and it will be the last time i buy a roccat mouse. Stick with logitec, their devices work. It's a shame, otherwise the mouse is quite nice. Button layout is comfortable for big hands and the side buttons are responsive and well spaced from each other.
