Roccat Kone+ Mouse

Featured Topics

Roccat is a very popular gaming peripheral maker over in Europe, so it's great to see the company finally pushing into North America. First up is the Kone+ mouse, which combines 12 buttons with a 6000dpi laser sensor. Thanks to Roccat's proprietary Easy-Shift software (baked into the drivers), each button can perform two tasks, allowing for a total of 24 possible actions/commands.

I like the look of the SteelSeries Flux.

Agreed. Turtle Beach's M3 < Flux, especially with the promised color options.

Rat 7 is not the most durable, although its not advertised as long lasting. Its meant to be the most accurate mouse made. When i got it the only other competition was a logitech mouse that was prone to not track correctly. Now i would buy a white steel series mouse KANA and the white with Blue LED headset. Never will i trade out my model M.

Got a Kone+ back in October. Within 2 weeks the mouse wheel sensor failed. Got a replacement. Now the laser itself has failed so the mouse is useless.
All these people bleating about how good they are, the faults speak for themselves.

The only thing that strikes me was the Razer Tablet. I'm looking for a WinTablet, and I SURE hope those joysticks come off when not needed! Although I think I might get the VITA when it comes out since I'd use it for multimedia purposes besides just playing games.

As for all these headphones, crap sounding headphones isn't going to sound much better in 5.1/7.1.....I'll keep my stereo Sennheiser 650's, Audio Technica, and Denon headphones and just use my webcam's (Logitec Pro 9000) mic to do online games.

Sennheiser definitely makes excellent gear. We use them in the studio, both open and closed versions. And reasonably priced.
No, I don't work for them, just a satisfied customer :-)
