Ha, U think you are strong? LOL, I use a night market bought mouse that WIEGHS 150 GRAMS. You weak people with your 40-110 gram mouse are hard stuck plat and im here sitting in immortal 3. I am the strong one!!
Iam using g502 with max weights too, i have major brainstorm because i don't know how to add additional weight. I want to have 150 grams for my huge hands. BTW my penis is big too
I feel like most of the issues you pointed out in this video are non-issues. Like the dock - it's great that it's included and if you just put the mouse on it when going to bed and take it off when starting your day, that's a great experience and charging becomes a non-issue. I also don't get what you mean when you say it feels bad in every game (?). The shape is obviously subjective, but for palm/claw-grip I find it a lot better than the Basilisk v3 which I also tried. And regarding the sensor/wireless, I don't feel a noticable difference between this mouse and the wired basilisk v3. The Roccat feels a bit cheaper though, that's true, but I think that the shape, which I prefer, is much more important. The missing freescroll mode of the mouse wheel may be important to some, but I personally really don't need it and most gaming mice don't have it anyway. I can't say the clicks or mouse wheel feel bad or mushy in any way, that's the kind of thing that 90% of people don't even notice or don't care about. But I guess it can be important to some, while it is also very subjective. Try the mouses in a store if you can. Regarding the "useless features" - what exactly? Maybe you don't need the extra buttons, but maybe others do. Maybe you think a freescroll wheel is useful while others don't. I personally like the features of the Roccat. From the extra buttons to the superior thumb button (which I use as a sniper button) and the charging dock with a USB port for the receiver. The software is a bit janky, but the Razer software on the other hand is intrusive and overloaded. Like with any mouse software - just configure the mouse once, delete it from autostart and never deal with it again. Overall I think the Kone XP Air is a great mouse and I sent the Razer Basilisk V3 back in favor of the Roccat.
Yeah... He ranted a lot about very subjective things that many people might disagree with him with and yes, the material feels cheap, but Minecraft players like myself, who need to achieve high cps want grippy left and right click buttons with bouncy switches, as it allows us to drag click.
I use this mouse for work and the only real issue I've had is the scroll wheel and I have two of them I use the macros tilt scroll wheel Bluetooth and Dongle with no issue even with occasional gaming it works decently no issues There's no mouse that has all the same features as this mouse that said the QC issues are defiantly a thing
For fucks sake, this is exactly the mouse I am looking for as I am running out of bloody keybind in WoW and I will never learn using a fucking Naga and the 604 right click button just kills me from bugging. Now I really have no idea what to do.
I play WoW as a healer, I can't stand 12 thumb buttons but 5 or 6 are great. Recommend the Razer Naga V2 Pro and use the side plate with 6 buttons, it's great.
@@Saint_Cuthbert I ended up buying the mouse because I couldn't find anything better. I honestly find it much better than the review might suggest. The easy shift key at thumb can be configured to be modifier such as alt or ctrl and a bunch of new hotkeys are opened. However, it is defo not the most comfortable mouse...
@@Saint_Cuthbert I got used to the mouse now and I must say its great for WoW. No idea about games where primary clicks matter tho, no issues with the scroll will on mine too.
@@kelatazar small necro revival, of you comment, but honestly I think that this is video review from perspective of someone who want ultralight two button mice (it is quite obvious from other his reviews) which is fine as point of view, but a bit weird for review. I mean if you pick 100g 15 mouse mice, it wont become magically 60g 4 button mice. Use case is completely different. I am maining MMOs, but I like to play FPS to chill and I do not want to have multiple mices since switch between them is making my performance worse than if I play with non-optimal FPS mice. As soon there will be good wireless mices with 8-9 buttons and 80-90 grams, I am happy to try them, but at this point is offer very limited, you have heavy 120g mices with many buttons, you have ultralights with two sides buttons at best, and then there is very few mices inbetween which are actually good.
QI charging is a godsend for wireless mice , yet they all require the mouse to be placed on the qi area, or dock in this case, so all you have to do is dock it after use, and you never have a dead battery, its not a crazy concept and its much easier than having a wire dangling freely on your desk that you have to fiddle to insert the usb, its just a small qol feature that many love.
@@sternwayprovider I see dock as great feature, especially with so fast charging that you can basically put it there for few minutes when you go to toilet or make coffee and it will give you hours of battery life, that is not something I would want to do with cable and I hate mices with cables, that is why I am buying them wireless, so less I have to use cable, better for me.
At least the Basilisk's charging dock is somewhat useful because you can also use it for your phone. In general, docks kinda suck unless they're like apart of the mousepad and/or have other uses too.
To find a new wireless mouse I did two weeks of research, watched so many videos, read reviews and forum posts and finally bought the Roccat Kone XP Air today. I missed this review, because I used the wrong keywords, I guess. Otherwise I would have gone with the Logitec 502 X. But the Roccat suited my hand a little bit better than the 502. I hope that I will not regret the buy.
I tried the Basilisk and G502 X and returned both. I'm testing out the Roccat Kone right now and actually like it the most of the 3. Guess it just depends on comfort and how you will utilize the buttons etc. I've only had it for a day but I like it a lot so far.
I have the same problem, as I'm looking for an ergonomic mouse with plenty of buttons but not too many and is wireless, I narrowed down my choices to the Corsair Darkstar wireless and G502 X Light speed, I'm currently on SteelSeries Rival 5 which is wired and a "little ergonomic" but doesn't fit my hand and my palm grip style, as it's design kinda pushes you little bit to the right, is like your middle finger is on the right click, and it's so slippery and uncomfortable to use for long working hours, unfortunately searching online doesn't help as you said, the main focus is on cheaply made, overly expensive "light weight" mice with only extra two buttons on the side, so after this review my choices are narrowed down to only the Corsair Darkstar which is built like a tank and the G502 X light speed, I'm leaning more towards the Corsair, even though I kinda want the free scrolling of g502 and it's somewhat cheaper, so I suggest you both these mice and hope that helps
I used to have owned two of their mice, the Kone Pro and the Burst Pro - both were terrible. Mushy M1/M2 clicks with a ton of travel, the scroll wheel feels and sounds cheap, and the coating drives me nuts. The Kone shape is comfortable on day 1 but from day 2 onwards it's impressively uncomfortable. Hopefully they start implementing some improvements moving forward!
This is a hardware review channel, looking for faults in gaming mice and comparing them to competing products to find the best one is kinda the whole point
Thanks for the critical review. I like the lower thumb button idea a lot and extra normal thumb buttons, but the DPI change key placement is weird (and who actually wants this feature?) and the post travel time you highlighted is a deal breaker.
Hmmm.... Was considering this to eventually replace my Roccat Nyth which I absolutely love. Maybe TurtleBeach will resurrect the concept with a wireless varient.
it's sad because I've owned Roccat products for 12 years and I swore by them, but man their products have deteriorated since TB bought them and every single one of their products have some sort of issue.
oh turtle beach bought them, which explains why there have been probably 100's of vulkan keybaord with small failures on ebay [germany] from a shop that probably bought a whole load of returns or something. Such a shame indeed
PSA: everything in this video is 100% correct. On top of all of this, the mouse also disconnects constantly in game, with the only fix being to disconnect the dongle. Don't even get me started with their rma process, a scam at best. They keep asking the same questions over and over, and there has been 0 progress over the 4 correspondences I've had with them, with my last email to them being a recap of my first email to them, because they keep asking me the same things. I am extremely disappointed with my first purchase of a Roccat product. This is the first and last time I ever buy something they produce. If only you made this video before I bought it....
The only complaint in this video that I actually agree with is the software. Swarm is so TERRIBLE that it made me never think of switching to this mouse. After trying Swarm II, I'm in the process of switching to it as my main gaming mouse.
Since you use a Hystar mouse pad, I trust you, I'm avoiding this one, it will help if you made a comparison review between Corsair Darkstar and the G502 X Light speed, "not the plus".
I feel like you're lying about a lot of this... I have the kone xp (non wireless) it's amazing best mouse I've used and I've been looking forever for another mouse that has a similar layout but lighter and wireless and I have yet to find one to replace my kone xp.
3 weeks in and I am returning it to Amazon. Charging issues as stated in the video. Heck, i seen it's tray icon say one percentage and the programs software screen say something else. RGB on the dock only works half the time then goes dark. Had to reset the settings back to default yesterday just to get the green charging led by the scroll wheel to start working again. Battery life with LED off... no way it is getting the suggested 100 hours. Mine is down to 90 after being in my hand a total of 2 hours after pulling off the dock at 100% Glad i experienced all this before my return window was up. Just ordered the G502x Lightspeed
the "gaming mouse" market nowadays is a turd. i've actually used to use the original Kone Plus mouse from 2011, it was the best computer mouse i've ever had, unfortunately two years ago the MMB button on it started having weird issues where it would sometimes not register, so i was looking for a good replacement for it (i LOVED the weights system, i LOVE heavy mouse's) and honestly nothing in the market even remotely compared to how good the Kone Plus was, so i settled on a Kone AIMO which for me felt great ergonomically but it was not as weighty as my original Kone Plus mouse, it also suffers from Roccat's new design flaws which means that basically cleaning hand grime and dust off of it is actually a chore (too many crevasses and hard to clean gaps). but compared to anything thats available right now i have to say, every single offering from ALL companies todays is just completely garbage, uncomfortable form over function mouse's from every single manufacturer. i don't give a single flying fuck about RGB and LEDs, i only care about ergonomics and actual usable features. for example with my original Kone Plus i used to use the Shift button + the scroll wheel to control my computer's volume (i still do that today with my original Kone AIMO). the great ergonomics of the Kone Plus and Kone AIMO make it basically seamless to do so without even having to stretch a finger in an uncomfortable manner (something i CANT say about any of Razer's mouse's) another feature i used to LOVE with the original Kone Plus was that i could actually use the Kone Plus's shift key + any button from my keyboard to activate a 3rd button combination, i used to use this feature A LOT when i used to play MMORPGS... instead of having to stretch all the way to my Function keys i just continued using the regular number keys and used the shift key on my Kone Plus. this feature, as much as i'm aware is now completely absent with the Kone AIMO (or maybe its because i don't use a Roccat keyboard anymore since 2015?) either way i don't see that option in the driver settings anymore, nor does the Kone AIMO have the surface learning feature that the original Kone Plus had with actual visual footage from the sensor (and i don't mean distance control unit, that's something completely different).
I had the Roccat kone [+] back in 2012, that one was good until double, triple click came after about 1 year.. sucked asses, so I decided to buy something cheap... later in 2020 I bought roccat again, but this time the white Kone Aimo.. and this one's still rocking and it's beautifull in combination with the white coolermaster h500p mesh desktop case.
yes, the scroll wheel button press is a HUGE problem. I have a Burst Pro and it gave me the same problem. I love the design but, that scroll wheel button press is bad.
The setup of buttons on this looks almost perfect to me so if they could fix the mouse 1 and 2 buttons along with the scroll wheel it would be great. Personal preferences I would like it to be a tad bit narrower also but I also think your being too artistic in your critique of it, many of the points you complain about are non-issues compared to the one really bad issue, mouse buttons...
When he compared the mouse to Razer, that's already a red flag I feel. Razer mouse surface feels nice to touch, yeah but give it awhile, it'll turn into a sticky pile of mess, you'll end up throwing your mouse away.
from an aesthetic standpoint, i wanna like this mouse so much. I'm on their site right now with one in the cart. but this videooo.... I just scrapped my g502 cuz of [gamer rage] age, and increasing frequency of missed inputs. I can live without the infinite scroll (home/end and pg up/down welcome back my friends) but the g502 had some MUSHY ass scroll wheel side clicks. seems not much is improved here... shame.
Very poor quality mouse, i love the design and feel but it broke within 2 months. Even within the 2 months i had many times happen that the mouse became extremely slow in moving (the cursor), and the only way to fix this was turning off the mouse, put it on the charger and put it back on. It also did not charge to 100%, only 80% and it was back to 40% within 2 hours. Never will i buy another one of this brand.
Ah crap, the buttons, layout and shape are *perfect* for me. Such a shame the main clicks, scroll wheel, finish and software is rubbish. Rubbish list too long, have to pass.
The charging dock is fine. I owned the Logitech MX700 from way back when and it had a dock that you would put the mouse on to charge when not being used. And it didn't even have a cable to connect. Some people don't appreciate what they got these days.
I still have a MX700, and while that feature is a bit annoying, one could always pop in another set of AA batteries to get them through in an emergency, then put it on the dock to charge it later... :) I really love that mouse, and I'm glad they still use that shape to this day.
Roccat isn’t the same tbh… for me the Kone XP Air is okay (I'm more into Lightweight mice, I love my Deathadder V3 Pro lol) but the quality and the click feeling is just so bad imo, it’s sad to see
People understand this is his subjective review. It really doesn't mean anything.What he calls useless features is literally the reason why people would buy this mouse. So pretty idiotic assumption and claim. As for grip and feel that is again totally subjective. I bind a lot of functions to mouse. So more buttons is better. I am NOT one of those looking for a mouse that is 30 grams and have 2 buttons because "loLskatesleetprofpsgameryo".
I've got the wired version had it since release and now that I traded off everything except the kone Xp. Model O minus wired and an orochi V2. I never touch the kone Xp. And win more games with the model o minus but the orochi is easily the best of them all as weird as all that is

but compared to anything thats available right now i have to say, every single offering from ALL companies todays is just completely garbage, uncomfortable form over function mouse's from every single manufacturer.
i don't give a single flying fuck about RGB and LEDs, i only care about ergonomics and actual usable features.
for example with my original Kone Plus i used to use the Shift button + the scroll wheel to control my computer's volume (i still do that today with my original Kone AIMO).

When he compared the mouse to Razer, that's already a red flag I feel.
Razer mouse surface feels nice to touch, yeah but give it awhile, it'll turn into a sticky pile of mess, you'll end up throwing your mouse away.
Me not watching this video after I bought the mouse thinking it’s cool
Me too lol it's only been 2 days but it feels great and it's the only really negative review I've seen
OMG, what happened to your hand?
Which one?
from an aesthetic standpoint, i wanna like this mouse so much. I'm on their site right now with one in the cart. but this videooo.... I just scrapped my g502 cuz of [gamer rage] age, and increasing frequency of missed inputs. I can live without the infinite scroll (home/end and pg up/down welcome back my friends) but the g502 had some MUSHY ass scroll wheel side clicks. seems not much is improved here... shame.
how do u butterfly click
I believe in turtle mouse supremacy 🐢
Very poor quality mouse, i love the design and feel but it broke within 2 months. Even within the 2 months i had many times happen that the mouse became extremely slow in moving (the cursor), and the only way to fix this was turning off the mouse, put it on the charger and put it back on. It also did not charge to 100%, only 80% and it was back to 40% within 2 hours. Never will i buy another one of this brand.
Ah crap, the buttons, layout and shape are *perfect* for me. Such a shame the main clicks, scroll wheel, finish and software is rubbish. Rubbish list too long, have to pass.
turtle mouse the goat
aimo is honestly a joke, what it does is pretty much just go through all colors!
The charging dock is fine. I owned the Logitech MX700 from way back when and it had a dock that you would put the mouse on to charge when not being used. And it didn't even have a cable to connect. Some people don't appreciate what they got these days.
I still have a MX700, and while that feature is a bit annoying, one could always pop in another set of AA batteries to get them through in an emergency, then put it on the dock to charge it later... :) I really love that mouse, and I'm glad they still use that shape to this day.
Do not buy this mouse or anything from roccat, quality is garbage connection is terrible and mouse wheel is known to fail on most devices
Can I have this mouse?
No
Still a downgrade from the discontinued Roccat Tyon.... RIP
What makes you say that?
Roccat isn’t the same tbh… for me the Kone XP Air is okay (I'm more into Lightweight mice, I love my Deathadder V3 Pro lol) but the quality and the click feeling is just so bad imo, it’s sad to see
People understand this is his subjective review. It really doesn't mean anything.What he calls useless features is literally the reason why people would buy this mouse. So pretty idiotic assumption and claim.
As for grip and feel that is again totally subjective.
I bind a lot of functions to mouse. So more buttons is better. I am NOT one of those looking for a mouse that is 30 grams and have 2 buttons because "loLskatesleetprofpsgameryo".
croot
Oh I am the first comment Letz gooooo!!!!
Not wrong, it is really bad, the coating is the main bad thing for me, its so slippery.
I've got the wired version had it since release and now that I traded off everything except the kone Xp. Model O minus wired and an orochi V2. I never touch the kone Xp. And win more games with the model o minus but the orochi is easily the best of them all as weird as all that is
