ROCCAT KONE Pure Ultra Gaming Mouse - White

My history with Roccat is long and sordid. I love the design of their products but they usually tend to have one or more fatal flaws that rear their heads over time. I owned the original Roccat Kone back in 2019 (bought it to play Apex Legends) and loved it except for when the mouse wheel started registering my up-scrolls as down-scrolls. Roccat design has always been A+ but their quality control has been more like a C+. The Kone Pure Ultra is basically the Kone with no flaws. It only has one lighting zone, so it's a little more understated, and it's ever so slightly smaller while still preserving the ergonomic design with the thumb groove on the left. For me, this is the most comfortable mouse I've ever owned. I have medium to large hands. This is probably the most direct successor to the legendary MX518 you can find in terms of shape and feel. I used a G502 for years and liked it but found that its narrow shape left my hands cramping and would blister my pinky finger over time. That design is better suited for gamers with smaller frames and hands. Guys like Shroud or XQC. The Kone Pro Ultra has the PERFECT amount of width for someone who has medium to large hands and uses a fingertip grip. Accuracy at 1000hz polling rate is fantastic, and all the buttons have a satisfying feel. The side mouse buttons are pristinely positioned and unlike other mice, they are curved and flat, meaning you don't have to deal with a sharp edge digging into your thumb all the time. Now onto the BEST part of this mouse for me, aside from its shape and size - the scroll wheel. I've gone through SO many mice trying to find the perfect scroll wheel, and they have ALL either become sludgy over time to where the notches are indiscernible, OR they begin malfunctioning. In my FPS games, I bind middle mouse to toggle crouch and I use scroll up and scroll down for weapon 1 and weapon 2, so I am using the scroll wheel A LOT. I also do IT for my job and I work from home, so the scroll wheel sees lots of use here. I am happy to report that I've owned this mouse since February 2023 and it still functions like day 1. No malfunctions, the middle mouse click still feels great, and the notches when scrolling up or down can still clearly be felt. Hallelujah. I will note that I replaced the stock feet on this mouse with some PTFE Corepad Skatez. The default feet were fine but did start to get a little worn down after about 4 months. I've had zero issues since replacing the feet, which have lasted me 6 months with no wear. I like that there are only two mouse feet and that they are BIG. There are less things that can go wrong and overall more contact area with the mouse pad. I'm using a Skypad 3.0 glass mousepad for reference. One nitpicky criticism of this mouse is that the cable is standard rubber. A braided or paracord cable would be great if this mouse is redesigned in the future. But that doesn't take away from the fact that this mouse has the perfect size for medium to large handed fingertip grippers, amazing ergonomics, and the best scroll wheel on the market. An easy recommendation if you meet the above criteria and want to click on some heads on FPS games.

Ok, I will start off by saying this mouse is light, feels very comfortable in the hand, and the sensor is phenomenal. Also, I personally don't have any issues with the cord, as some others have stated but that's just my opinion. The scroll wheel is also awesome, and the two side buttons aren't too much of a hassle to press, at least for me they aren't. However, one big thing (in my eyes anyways), is that the DPI buttons right by the scroll wheel are either very touchy, or the software (Swarm) is buggy and keeps changing my DPI to 1600, when I play on 800. So this just hampers with muscle memory for my aim. Yes, it is usually is very obvious when it happens, but it still is a hassle to deal with on a consistent basis. Edit (June 14, 2020): This mouse has now developed a double click issue. Far be it from me to be a critic here, but I feel like I should get more than 5 months out of a mouse I paid $69.99 for. I had such high hopes for this mouse, as it is fairly decent outside of the double clicking and the dpi changing. Honestly, I could just take the mouse apart to remedy the double click issue, but this shouldn't be an issue, and it is a common one at that with mice these days. I've had SEVERAL mice develop this issue.

Love this mouse have had 3

The kone pure owl eye was the first fps mouse I got when I got into competitive overwatch 5 years ago and I loved that thing but I wore it down through heavy use over a couple years and got rid of it. Since then I have moved through probably about 20 different mice over the years and my more recent main mouse has been the g wolves hati s which has an amazing shape but g wolves has the worst build quality EVER. I have gone through 2 hati S mice in the past 4 months, the quality control is that bad. Even though I love the shape I cannot continue to buy from them, they just break too easily. The rubber cord on this kone pure is what has kept me from buying it for so long, but I just decided to give it a shot. I am taking a star away for the rubber cord, but it's not as bad as a I thought it would be. For a rubber cord it's actually pretty light weight, but the kinks in the cord when attached to a bungie can get a bit annoying. Other than that, all I have to say it's it's good to be back to my roots; the mouse that started it all for me. I've forgotten just how good this shape feels. Out of all the mice I've tried over the past 5 years, this one takes my number two spot as far as shape goes, and it's probably just going to end up being my main again since I can't continue buying g wolves. Excellent shape, accurate sensor, excellent software, lightweight and the BEST scroll wheel of any mouse ever made. This mouse is a must try for anyone with small to medium hands, there's no shape even close to this, it's one of a kind.

If you buy the KPU brand new, it's priced just a little bit on the high side for a wired mouse, so the harshness with which I judge this mouse will be based on that. Keep in mind there are some top-tier wired mice which cost less. That being said, here are both the good and bad attributes: ***GOOD*** -Weight is very light despite the shell not having holes in it. -Scroll wheel feels premium. Excellent tension on the scroll and fairly light on the press. The width of it also feels great. -Very comfortable for aggressive claw grip. The grooves aren't as noticeable, and the shape provides more than enough palm support in the back. Bulkier in the rear than a lot of other mice, but this is still smaller than many ergo mice overall. -Good sensor. That hardly needs mentioning anymore. -Most of the buttons feel good. On the lighter side in terms of actuation force. Travel distance for the most part is well within what I'd consider acceptable. -Separated side buttons. -Appearance is pretty cool if you care about that. -The below average size (for ergo mice) allows it to be fairly nimble. ***BAD*** -Right click has slightly more post travel and feels mushier than the left click as a result. Few mice have achieved good click feel with relatively high travel, and this is not one. Rocket Jump Ninja's old review of this mouse raised a similar concern. Definitely not a deal-breaker, however. Still usable. Would have hurt the mouse more to have this issue on the left click. -Stiff rubber cable. Bungee is a necessity. Paracording is also an option, but cheaper mice than this already have a paracord. -Sub-par skates. Not horrible, but slow. Easily replaceable, but again, plenty of cheaper mice are better in this regard. A fast mouse pad will combat the sluggish skates quite nicely though. At least the size of them is nothing to complain about. They could certainly be worse than what they are. - Shape can be uncomfortable for more relaxed grip styles because you'll feel the aggressive curve on the right side dig into your pinky. You'll really feel it with palm and relaxed fingertip. Maybe not as much with relaxed claw, but that sharp bump is definitely not comfortable, albeit far from painful. The thumb groove is very aggressive, too, but not quite as bothersome in my experience. -The area between the side buttons is raised to fill the gap between them. To some degree, this defeats the purpose of separating them. Leaving that gap empty results in the separation being more pronounced, which helps you avoid hitting the wrong side button by accident. The separation still feels better than side buttons on some other mice which offer none at all (Model O series, Viper series, Pulsefire Haste, etc). This does help you tell them apart, but this feature is hindered by what is simply unnecessary plastic. It also doesn't feel pleasant to have the protruding plastic gap filler touch your thumb while a button is being pressed. The gap filler actually protrudes FARTHER from the body than the side buttons when they are fully depressed. It's not uncomfortable, but it makes pressing the side buttons less satisfying. Not a huge deal. I just had a lot to say about it because WHY would someone do this? I can't understand it. ***Summary*** It's a good mouse with outdated features priced like a higher-end wired mouse with 2021 features. Very comfortable for aggressive claw, but I can't recommend it for anything else. The Zowie EC shape is a more versatile ergo, but the KPU has better palm support. I'd recommend the Skoll Mini (small EC shape) over this as a small ergo. Roccat's own Burst Pro is better if you just want something below large in size with good palm support. The XM1 is also highly regarded as a great claw mouse. I honestly like the KPU, but it has SO MUCH competition at both similar and lower price points that I feel I have no choice but to give it a critical review.

So I’ll start by saying that I collect mice, I’ve always loved trying different shapes and modding them. Right now, I have about 25 different mice that I’ve collected over the last year or 2, so I have a good bit of ergo shapes, and ambidextrous shapes. Before I tried the KPU, the Zowie EC2 was my favorite ergo shape, but I’ve always preferred ambi mice and have mained the Zowie ZA13-B for awhile. Out of the box, I immediately fell in love with the shape. That thumb groove is just perfection. But now to the part that bothered me, and a lot of others. The stock rubber cable, and the stock mouse feet. In my opinion, the rubber cable is pretty much unusable without a bungee, but it may be because I’ve been spoiled by custom paracords. If you’re too afraid to take the mouse apart and void the warranty to paracord it, a bungee is pretty much needed in my opinion. The stock feet are very slow, which some people may prefer. They’re black Teflon feet, not PTFE like we see from other companies these days. I always buy aftermarket feet for my mice, Corepads in particular, $8.99 for 2 sets and are very easy to replace. When the mouse has a custom paracord AND aftermarket skates, it is a god tier mouse for me personally. The shape seems to be a hate it or love it type of shape. Scroll wheel is the best I’ve ever tried which says a lot. The main clicks feel pretty good, side buttons feel nice too. Literally virtually no pre travel on my copy, very minimal post travel. Has 2 dpi buttons, 1 up and 1 for down. The Roccat swarm software is abit clunky but easy enough to navigate. The rgb is pretty cool if you care about that for whatever reason on a mouse. I usually keep 3-4 mice out on my desk at a time to play around with, but the KPU will never be put away and may replace my ZA13-B as my overall main with how nice it fits my hand and how well I perform with it. I strongly urge everyone to try it, especially with it on sale right now for $40.

I've been using the Roccat Line Pure series since the military edition for a reason. These mice are great and this one is the best do far. It's extremely lighter than the other pure editions by Roccat and lighter than any other mouse I have found. I love the texture of this one as it reminds me of the military edition soft texture that provides a slightly better grip. As a side note, the white version is absolutely stunning looking. With the Stark black buttons and a super white body, I love it. A must have for anyone trying to color coordinate with a white setup if that's what they are doing. Just buy it, it's worth it.

I have gone through a lot of mice. Not because they broke but because I have very small hands and I use a hybrid palm grip. Most of the mice which are recommended for claw or hybrid grips are really kind of big. My thumb struggles to reach the side buttons and it becomes pretty bothersome to use very quickly because the ergonomics are wrong for the size of my hand. This mouse is probably my 8th mouse I've tried in the last year and a half. I'm so thrilled with it. I finally found one that's comfortable for me to use. I'm also very happy with the quality of t he build and the software that it comes with. My only complaint is that there doesn't seem to be the ability to customize the acceleration and deceleration rate, which is a feature I appreciate, but not a deal-breaker for me. That said, some of you might feel otherwise, so if that's a feature that's very important to you, give that one some thought. Overall, I'd give this 4.8/5 stars, docking 0.2 points for some of the missing customization features I enjoyed with the razor and steelseries mice sitting in my drawer now because they were too big for my hand. Can't win 'em all, though.

El ratón está muy bueno y todo pero nunca llego, debido a eso tuve que pedir rembolso

Se me rompió mi ratón, tenia uno de una marca muy conocida y no precisamente barata que me toco en un sorteo y decidí probarlo, al ser de forma plana poco rato vi que me sentía cómodo y de usarlo un día acabe con dolor en el dedo pulgar, al final se lo tuve que regalar a una persona. Buen ratón de gaming gratis que se llevo... Buscando sustitutos, vi este que tiene una forma muy parecida al que se me rompió Y hubiera sido perfecto de no ser porque me venia pequeño. Si ajustaba la palma de la mano a la parte inferior los dedos se me salían entre 2-3 cm y si ajustaba los dedos a los botones (que es lo que hacia) no podía poner bien el pulgar y notaba también dolor (aunque esto podría ser por tenerlo resentido del anterior). Lo probé apenas 10 minutos y como era obvio que no me servia por tamaño lo devolví y no me pusieron ninguna pega. En mi opinión tenia pinta de ser buen ratón, pero como digo no sirve para manos medianas tirando a grandes o si tu agarre es con la parte baja de la palma pegada a la parte baja del ratón Pero en el poco rato que lo probé la sensación de los clicks era buena, no había que hacer mucha fuerza, ni sonaba mucho, ni a plástico de esos que parece que se van a romper. También es un ratón muy ligero, no entro a valorar si eso es bueno o malo porque cada uno tiene sus gustos y los hay con pesos para ajustarlo, pero como digo este era muy ligero y fácil de mover. Si hubiera sido un poco mas grande me lo hubiera quedado seguro. Le doy 4 estrellas por la cuestión del tamaño, pero en principio en el poco rato que lo probé me parece que es de 5 estrellas.

IE3.0クローンと言われてるらしい 小さいし軽いし使いやすい でも2年ちょいで右クリックのチャタリングが発生・・・ 価格帯は安い方だし大満足でした もし近くの店に置いてたらぜひ触ってみて

Roccat hat mit der Kone Pure Ultra bereits die zweite Version dieser Mouse veröffentlicht. Mit einem Gewicht von nur 66g gehört diese Mouse mit zu den leichtesten seiner Klasse. Ausgestattet mit einen Sensor mit 16000 DPI (Owl Eye) lässt diese Mouse keine Wünsche offen, denn der Sensor basiert auf dem PixArt 3389, der bekanntlich einer der besten optischen Sensoren fürs Gaming ist. Aber eine Gewichtsanpassung gibt es nicht. Wozu auch, wenn man sich eine 66g Mouse kauft, will man sie ja nicht schwerer machen... Die Schalter fühlen sich alle sehr knackig an, geben ein tolles Feedback beim gamen. Was mir gefällt ist die Oberfläche. Sie ist matt, fühlt sich samtig an. Die Mouse liegt so fest in der Hand, kein entgleiten. Dennoch habe ich nach längeren Spielen keine schwitzigen Hände. Was mir sehr gefällt sind zwei Tasten zur DPI-Einstellung. Ich kann damit schnell die DPI erhöhen oder verringern. Viele Mäuse haben ja nur einen DPI-Schalter. Dort muss man immer alle DPI durchschalten, bis man seine gewünschte Auflösung erreicht hat. Die Roccat Kone Pure Ultra ist eine reine Rechtshänder-Mouse. Das Design ist ergonomisch, der Daumen hat eine eigene Ablage. Abgerundet wird das ganze durch ein 1,8m langes USB-Kabel. Dieses ist gummiert, aber relativ flexibel. Es stört keineswegs beim Bewegen der Mouse. Lieferumfang: Mouse, Schnellstartanleitung Für die optimale Nutzung empfiehlt es sich, Roccat Swarm herunterzuladen. Damit kann die Mouse komplett konfiguriert werden, ob es die Auflösung, die RGB-Beleuchtung oder die Lift-Off-Distanz ist. Ich persönlich finde Roccat Swarm sehr übersichtlich. Besonders schön finde ich, dass man ein akustisches Feedback bekommt, wenn man die Auflösung verändert. Dann sagt eine männliche Stimme, wieviel DPI eingestellt sind. Somit muss man seinen Blick nicht vom Monitor abwenden, um zu sehen, welche Auflösung aktiv ist. Wäre schön, wenn man noch die Stimme modifizieren könnte, aber das ist auch nur Schmuck am Nachthemd. Ansonsten kann ich für diese Mouse eine klare Kaufempfehlung geben!

I bought this one to replace my defunct Kone Pure. I love the way it feels and the position of the buttons. I had to install the Swarm software, and it seems to be working as expected. I also game in Linux, and the configuration on the mouse carries over in the hardware, so I do not need a Swarm for linux, which is nice!
