The latest anniversary Kone Pure Color mice from ROCCAT can be picked up in different flavors, feature a high performance laser sensor and can be controlled by powerful customization software. The EasyShift[+] function allows us to double the button functions and the ROCCAT logo LEDs can be set with the color of our choice.

A Closer Look Contd.

Besides the mouse, we will also receive a transparent envelope with documents. A small leaflet will inform us that we must ensure the mouse surface is clean at all times and dry as heavy perspiration may cause discoloration. This type of wear we have spotted at most mice which sported rubber coating on top and this mouse does not seem to be an exception but this is the first manufacturer which makes this kind of declaration right from the start, which is appreciated:

 

 

 

The manual is nicely described with mouse functions and how we can set it up:

 

 

 

This mouse model is available in four different variants:

 

-black sides with red top (our sample)

-orange sides and black top

-blue sides with black top

-white sides and top

 

Looking at our sample, the color contrast between red and black is interesting and really attracts attention. The rubber coating is present not only on the top but also on the laterals, so the mouse is smooth to the touch. The included cable is braided for additional durability as we have seen on most high-end products:

 

 

 

In the back we have a ROCCAT emblem which hides multicolored LEDs underneath which can be controlled via software:

 

 

 

On the left side of the mouse we have two additional programmable buttons; the one from the right also enables the Easy-Shift[+] function:

 

 

 

On the right side the mouse presents itself with an ergonomic shape, but with no extra buttons:

 

 

 

On the front we can see the durable scroll wheel along with the two extra buttons which are initially programmed as DPI +/-:

 

 

 

The bottom side comes with the 8200DPI PRO-AIM [R3] sensor which has a range between 200 and 8200 and also with the two large PTFE feet. Here we will also find some serial numbers:

 

 

 

The USB connector is also fully customized with the ROCCAT Kone Pure logo on top:
