130g! for a mouse with only 3 side buttons!

A pic of this finally surfaced, so I thought I'd go ahead and share it.
Kone Aimo.

Somehow it doesn't look comfortable at all. Those sides are very meh.

daniel0731ex · Aug 20, 2017

But why.

uaokkkkkkkk · Aug 20, 2017

I wonder what the pitch was.

"Tyon sells well. Kone series sells well. Let's mix them together!."

ImpedingMadness · Aug 21, 2017

So, Gamescom release? Roccat is also participating at IFA too. Two German event in a row.

Kone spaceship edition?

chr1spe · Aug 21, 2017

Its not something I like at all, but tbh its probably not a bad idea. Pubg is the big up and coming game right now and a fair number of people seem to like more than 5 mouse buttons for that game.

R5 Prism, is that you?

Anyway the name is quite weird, it basically translates to "Machine is good".

Anti G402/G403 featurebomber seems likely.

Honestly, I'm slightly interested assuming the weight is decent. I'm tired of all the mmo/multi-button mice that force you into a palm grip with the ring finger rest they always put on the right side. Would never use it for FPS, but would be nice for a mmo or whatever

Not sure what RGBA means in regards to a mouse as well, the (presumably) LED Strips dont seem like they are see through.

Edit: Or maybe its not properly implemented on purpose on preproduction units.

RGBA = RED GREEN BLUE AMBER
RGBW = RED GREEN BLUE WHITE

I also learnt it just now from the web, the more you know... next we probably will have RGBAB, RGWB, or something longer

Tyon and Leadr were already advertised as "RGBA" mice.

If I do remember correctly though, the Aimo was supposedly going to be one of those RGB light show type mice.

TBH thats kinda boring, i was thinking about Alpha actually, see through panels with adjustable Opacity, now that would have been something.

The truth is always anti-climatic, my friend.
I, myself, thought A stands for array but nowadays led is just a small square or tiny bulbs which denied that notion so I googled RGBA led and sated my curiosity.

See thru panels with adjustable opacity, so how much are you willing to pay for that stuffs?

The tech to make adjustable opacity itself is probably more expensive than your average gaming mouse.

Shape looks a bit odd

RevanCorana · Aug 21, 2017

120 grams incoming

I'd agree with that, I bet it's announced tomorrow(technically today).

cdcd · Aug 22, 2017

Looks like it is ready for take-off.

JackCY · Aug 22, 2017

Style > function, no thanks. Looks horrible to use. No split buttons, weird feet, odd side buttons placement as always for Roccat.

Syn247 · Aug 22, 2017

130g. DOA.

Avalar · Aug 22, 2017

Not to flame them or anything, but geeez Roccat. You know who can make a mouse with RGB lights and the rest of the features you mentioned without weighing 1000 lbs? Everyone else... :/

So true but it wasn't long ago when everyone here on this forum was abusing them for NOT releasing any 3366 sensors within their products portfolio.

This mouse doesn't attract me whatsoever BUT you still might get a following despite all the boos and putdowns from everyone here.

More power to Roccat for finally releasing another "Owl-eye" so now comes the patient waiting for their next release, that attracts the hard-core gamers (small, light and fast).

Arizonian · Aug 23, 2017

I guess for MMO's, not my kind of mouse, so I'll just move on....

new savu please

Ickz · Aug 23, 2017

What a letdown, I assumed there would be more buttons on the side. So much weight for one additional side button. Seems like a pointless design.
