Looks pretty nice, looks like they didn't change the sensor though but i guess the 4 different type of colors and 16.8 million colors LEDs makes you more pro

 

[Arizonian]

So same Kone Pure just comes in 'colors' now? That's cool for those who look for aesthetically pleasing components and / or possibly looking to match with existing components.

 

[strayakent]

Yep, if they topped it off with a nice optical sensor would have been so cool at LAN parties

 

[Skylit]

White one looks pretty cool.

 

[hza]

I'd go with the red one

 

[strayakent]

Mice going to start looking like Jap/Euro cars soon lol

 

[r0ach]

I'd be weary of buying anything Roccat after I bought a Kova+.

The Pixar sensor was bleh, the shape was awkward, and the mouse feet were like 3x as high as they should be, making it feel like the mouse was on stilts and it didn't glide good either. Not sure if it was cheap teflon or what.

I'd like to try a Savu but not sure if it will have similar issues, Pixar sensor aside.

Looks pretty nice. Is the Kone Pure a good mouse for claw grip?

 

[Nenkitsune]

I tend to switch between claw and palm grip on my Kone +, and i must say, I find myself palming it more often than not. The thumb indention in the side is so comfy to rest my thumb in, and it makes lifting it effortless.

I wouldn't say it's very ideal to claw it, simply because it's just to comfy to palm it

Kone+ is also rubbish. The original Kone was fine.

ADNS-9800 has some input lag issues, doesn't it?

Thats fixed if you download latest driver and update the firmware.

Shape is subjective, but mousefeet are "normal" height compared to Kova+.

My XTD is awesome so I can happily recommend them.

 

[Chillee]

My Kone XTD updated through latest 1.16 driver AND firmware has never been short of flawless. The scroll wheel is so good, I go out of my way to program macros for it!

 

[YaMoBeThere]

I wish Roccat would provide some tentative release dates, I feel like I been waiting for an eternity for this thing to come out.

Out of curiosity, has anyone with an XTD or Kone[+] been able to get the accent lighting to output white? It seems like "ice blue" is the closest people come to white in all the reviews.

 

[HereIsJohnny]

White isn't offered in the software of both mice.

 

[Phos]

You have RGB controls over the LED colors.

 

[HereIsJohnny]

Not with XTD or [+]. This option is only available with the Kone Pure and Isku FX i think.

Oh, I had a Savu for a while and it gave me RGB control over its light. Thought the other mice would be the same.

 

[YaMoBeThere]

Looks like the Pure Color will MSRP for $69.99, now if they would only give us a release date

@thewisewaffle Less! Same price as the Kone Pure. First colors comming soon!
