ROCCAT - Kone XP Air Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with Charging Dock and AIMO RGB Lighting - Wireless - Black

I like all the buttons and amount of options the Swarm software gives you. I can remap every button, customize the lighting, save multiple profiles with different buttons, DPI settings, and lighting, and even set it to automatically switch profiles when you launch a program or game. It's pretty awesome. The mouse feels super light compared to my old mouse, the Razer Naga. The left and right click buttons feel weird, since I'm used to mechanical switches, but these optical switches are supposed to get rid of the double click problems, which is why I had to replace the Naga. Hopefully this one lasts longer. I guess I'll get used to them. Some of the small complaints I have are related to switching from dongle connectivity to bluetooth. I've been switching between 2 PCs, both with the Swarm software installed, and all the settings disappear from the software when you're only connected with Bluetooth. Everything seems to work the same, but you have to connect with a cable or through the dongle to see and change the settings. Also, the switch to switch between the 2 wireless modes is on the bottom of the mouse, so you have to pick the mouse up and carefully hold it so you're not pressing any buttons to switch, which is not super convenient. I'd like it better if the switch was on top of the mouse, by the scroll wheel or something.

TLDR: Pretty nice mouse with unique button options, but the price is impossible to justify with how bad the software is. Let's get the negative out of the way: Mouse profiles will randomly reset. This means your dpi changes are gone, your lighting changes are gone, your re-bound keys are gone. Usually either the lights or dpi, but my re-binds have disappeared twice now in less than 6 months. The mouse itself is pretty nice. Battery lasts plenty long enough and having the charging dock means I can just leave it on the dock when I'm not at the computer. Clicks on top and side buttons are a bit 50/50. I thought they felt and sounded cheap or hollow at first, but I actually like them now. I use 1 dpi setting/profile so I rebound those to a hotkey and also the thumb shift to a hotkey. This is a decently long mouse, so people like me with small hands will find the rearmost of the 2 side buttons, and rearmost of the buttons next to left click unusable.

honestly a solid mouse, besides the software. all the buttons work well and are easy to reprogram, howeverrrr the software hasnt worked in my favor, but it could for you. it tells me to update my mouse and make sure the doc and mouse are plugged in and i did, but when i use 2.4 connectivity it doesnt let me open my mouse settings “until updated” in order to update i need to plug in the mouse, and as soon as i do all the settings pop up. so the software does work and i can update my button mapping, but only when connected via usb. wish i went with the g502 x instead

Great mouse! Love the RGB customization and how responsive this is for gaming. It’s lightweight and fits in my hand comfortably. Don’t hesitate to grab this, worth every penny!

Very happy with how easily you can program the buttons, as well as programming options. The DPI adjustments are solid as well. My only complaint is that to reprogram it, it must be connected by USB. Not a deal breaker though.

I like the tactile feel of the buttons and scroll wheel. That is why i purchased it over others. I may return it, but havent decided yet. My issue is with the docking station, which is designed and touted by Turtle Beach. Dumb engineers didnt give clearance for the charging port and the mouse, so it doesnt allow it to properly dock, and ya know… charge. After an hour of my time I found the solution. Use the front C port instead of the one supplied. *facepalm* dumb.

The mouse is a bit larger than most mice on the market. This is great for big hands like my own. It’s easy to customize and set up buttons. It feels super light.

Super customizable and love their software it’s very simple to use. Also a very comfortable mouse in your hand. Great purchase!
