ROCCAT Kone AIMO Remastered PC Gaming Mouse, Optical, RGB Backlit Lighting, 23 Programmable Keys, Onboard Memory, Palm Grip, Owl Eye Sensor, Ergonomic, LED Illumination, Adjustable to 16,000 DPI-Black

I've only had this mouse less than a week, so the scope of this review is somewhat limited, but so far my experience has been good. I got it on recommendation from my brother, who also has the same mouse. My suggestion to the reader is that everyone's grip style, hand size, and preferences are different, so those factors will determine whether or not this is a good fit for you. Things I like: - The scroll wheel actually works properly and feels nice. My last mouse (Razer Basilisk) had an infuriating problem with occasional missed/backwards scrolling, which is incredibly frustrating in gaming, so I've come to appreciate a functioning scroll wheel. - The side buttons are well-placed and accessible without accidentally pressing them, at least for my grip style. - The software is functional while not being intrusive (unlike Razer Synapse, which is notoriously obnoxious) - Tracking is fine as far as I can tell. - The weight is 132g, which is fine for me, but people who like their mouse to be super light may disagree. - The lighting options in the sofware are very customizable. I tend to not go crazy with the whole RGB thing, but if that's what you're into, you will like Roccat's software. Minor gripes: - The sides of the mouse are very smooth. This can introduce some awkwardness in your grip when picking up/repositioning the mouse. I might buy some grip tape for it, but I would have liked to see the rubbery/textured material on the sides that some other mice have. - I'm not totally sure the form factor of this mouse is right for me, since the mouse I am most accustomed to (a cheap Chinese gaming mouse) had a much different shape, but I'll give it some time to see if I get used to it. It's not uncomfortable, but not totally comfortable either. Again, this is a matter of individual comfort/preference. It's worth noting that my brother's Roccat Kone, which he's used very heavily for a couple of years, has developed a problem with the right click intermittently not registering. I figure any mouse under sustained heavy use will develop some clicking malfunction eventually, but it's something to keep in mind. On the balance, I think this mouse has earned a solid 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5 because Amazon), with the half star being deducted for the lack of grip/texturing on the sides. If I run into any glaring issues that change my opinion I will update, but so far my experience has been good and I would recommend this mouse.

First I want to mention a surprise that made me happy: Clicking the button under the thumb lets you use the scroll wheel as a volume control by default. This works much more smoothly without bouncing or jumping like many volume knobs on keyboards. (I'm sure you need the software installed first of course) I love the look of this mouse. Don't care about all the fancy light settings but it's nice to set a solid color and brightness. The shape works well for my medium-large square hands. I can use a palm grip when working or browsing and fingertip for fps games. It's light for it's size, but some serious gaming competitors will be looking to sacrifice some comfort for something even lighter. Plastic feels great, as long as you have clean hands. I imagine people who live somewhere hot and get sweaty hands might not like it. The scroll wheel has a reputation as being one of the best and it's deserved. Middle click, left and right tilt all work well without accidentally scrolling. Scrolling hits the indents nicely without doing the annoying half-bump screen bounce that many mice do. Mine makes a whistling kind of squeak when scrolling, but it doesn't bother me enough to have gotten around to lubricating it. The sensor is high end, I didn't read of any real difference between high end sensors, they are all great. The software even has a setting that allows you to set it exactly for your mouse pad so that lifting and moving the mouse even the tiniest bit doesn't move the cursor. The software has a bit of a learning curve, there are multiple profiles and a ton of customization features. You can just set up one profile, or one for every program/game you want.

So much to say I was very skeptical about purchasing this mouse because if was from Roccat of which whom I have no experience with but in my quest to find my mouse I believe I have found it to my surprise and excitement. Pros: 1) SIZE: First things first the size of the mouse is a little of the larger type I would not reccomend it if you have small hands at all but for medium to large hands with a palm grip you may be at home. For small hands I'd reccomend the g502. 2) BUTTONS: the buttons feel outstanding and of top quality. Every single time I press the mouse buttons to include the T3 button on the side button they feel great and responsive. I had my skepticism about that T3 button but it works extremely well especially since you can press the main mouse button and the T3 simultaneously because they somewhat oppose one another. Pressing the main mouse button while at the same time pressing a side button always presented somewhat of a challenge for me but not anymore. 3) SENSOR: The Owl Eye sensor is a beast hands down, I am not a sniper so I usually limit my firefights to close quarters typically because I've had issues keeping the scope steady at longer distances well thanks to Roccat and the owl eye I'm able to track my targets tremendously better and when I tell you that this things doesn't move when I reposition the mouse, it's almost as if I didn't even lift it off of the pad at all it's that good. 4) SOFTWARE: What can I say again very impressed, the software is wonderful once you learn how to navigate it, it's a thing of beauty the interface is different there is a slight learning curve but it interacts with the mouse EVERY TIME (looking at you iCue) and provides a plethora of customizable options I cannot complain. OVERALL: I really have nothing bad to say about this mouse I mean it's not perfect but for me it comes pretty close. I have large hands and a palm style grip and if you have the same I'd encourage you to do yourself a favor if you're in the market for a new mouse and try it out.

This is a great mouse. It's comfortable, tracks perfectly, and looks handsome. The software is also quite good (I've heard people complain about it, but I'm not sure why. I've never had a problem with it, and all settings persist in the mouse itself, so you don't need to use the software again once you've set everything up properly). The problem with these? The scroll wheel. I'm not sure why they can't get this right, but eventually you will likely have scrolling problems. You'll try to scroll down and it will want to scroll back up, or vice versa. If you're handy enough it's not that hard to fix. There's a video on YouTube showing exactly what to do. You need to peel off the 4 corner pads, remove the screws to get the cover off, undo some ribbon cables, and eventually remove the scroll wheel sensor. It can be disassembled and cleaned with rubbing alcohol, or replaced entirely (which unfortunately involves a soldering iron). I'm sure I could have gotten a warranty replacement but I felt adventurous enough. I've heard Roccat support is amazing, so if you're not a tinkerer and run into the scrolling issue, just let them know about it. I was able to fix it myself which is cool, and it works perfectly now (haven't triggered the issue once since I cleaned it up). I wish companies would make these devices more user-serviceable. A broken switch or wheel shouldn't result in you needing to replace your mouse. The components themselves only cost a dollar or two!

I have small hands and use a palm grip, and this mouse is still comfortable and nice to use even though it's on the larger side. The extra button placement on the left side is really convenient, and the divot for the thumb is in a near perfect position. The software is amazing, and lets you customize everything about this mouse. It even has some pre-set macros for several popular games so you might not even have to make your own depending on what you play. I use this for WoW and have all my heals bound to it for mouseovers. The AIMO lighting is a very nice touch, and if you've got other AIMO products it communicates wondefully. My only issue (at first) is that the plastic is a bit slippery if you're used to more textured mice. It only took a few days for me to get used to it, though, and now it feels just fine. It's a lot lighter than my last mouse, so that also took a bit to get used to, but that's my fault for not checking weight before ordering. All in all, another great mouse from Roccat.

Fantastic mouse, I’m patiently waiting for a Bluetooth version with better quality. So basically the amount of clicks u don’t have to worry about. It’s the plastic that wears and tears. I found myself opening the mouse to see why it wasn’t clicking as well as it use to and it turns out the plastic on the button is just wearing down. Plus it’s very easy to get dirty. So cleaning it helped also and I’m able to use it for a bonus extra 3 weeks. I would buy from the company again but they need to make this one smaller and bluetooth. And do something about the plastic wearing down before the actually clicker thingy breaks. Other than that I’ve been using this mouse for almost 2 years, which isn’t enough in my opinion. But a great mouse I do highly recommend especially with that crazy sensor it has under it. Now that’s what u pay for

The reason I say not to bother with buying this mouse from Roccat, is because you will likely need to replace it every single year. I've had this one replaced 3 times now, because the track wheel in the center keeps malfunctioning every 6-12 months. Without fail, it leads to the same issue where the track wheel will no longer work properly, and then the right click will begin to fail as well.

After about a year with this mouse, I decided to write a review. At first it's great. Good quality, everything works well. I like the shift button and use it with the scroll wheel to adjust volume. But unfortunately after a little while, maybe a few months, the mouse wheel starts to go. It still works, but not reliably or correctly. It will occasionally miss scrolls, or sometimes scroll the wrong way, so when you scroll a lot in one direction, the page jitters back and forth and basically doesn't move. After about 6 months I contacted customer support, which was very helpful. They had me do some useless things, like reset and reinstall the software, but after that they happily issued a replacement. The unfortunate part is that they make you cut the cord off the mouse and send a picture of it, so now you have no mouse for a few weeks while they ship the replacement. Fortunately I had a spare to use while I waited. Even more unfortunately, after having the replacement for a few months now, this one has started to do the same thing. On top of that, it came with an extremely light right-click, so I'm constantly clicking it accidentally. Overall I think Roccat could have a great product, but they need to fix their quality control. If the second one I received worked fine, I would've chalked it up to getting one bad unit, but when the second one started doing the same thing after the same amount of time, it's clear that they have issues. My previous mouse was a Logitech G502 that worked perfectly for 5 years, and I only replaced it because I built a new PC and wanted to try something new and I liked the idea of the shift button, but clearly I should've stuck with Logitech.

ROCCAT Kone AIMO Gaming Mouse (High Precision, Optical Owl-Eye Sensor (100 to 16.000 DPI), RGB Aimo LED Illumination, 23 Programmable Keys, Designed in Germany) White (Remastered) So this is a great mouse. Its an EXTREMELY solid feeling mouse. The plastics are second to none. The ergonomics is exceptional. If you like a weighted feel, and you like a solid mouse that doesnt feel like cheap plastic, This is a great buy. The driver is also pretty customizable -- everything is customizable from buttons to macros. Right and left buttons are sensitive and register definitive clicks. You are able to drag click, you will be happy to know this one registers clicks pretty well -- similar to Glorious O which i also have. This mouse reminds me of Logitech G502 --- except i find the G502 doesnt do well with drag clicking as well as this mouse and Glorious O. If you prefer a mouse that is ultra light then dont buy this. If you want a good gaming mouse that has a weighted hefty feel, then this is a great alternative.

La verdad me compré este mouse dos veces. Me encantó el primero que compré! Es pesado, sus botones laterales son muy cómodos, su personalización de botones está genial, tenía mis modos de mouse para trabajar, para jugar, estaba encantada!! Pero algunos meses después, la ruedita me empezó a fallar. A principio solo fallaba un poco, pero poco a poco empezó a ser totalmente inútil. Busqué en internet y vi que era un problema recurrente, pero que algunas personas tenían la suerte de no tener ese problema, por lo que me aventuré a comprar otro y me resultó PEOR!!!! En menos tiempo la ruedita dejó de funcionar y otra vez tengo un mouse maravilloso que no me funciona para lo básico. Infelizmente he desistido de seguir con la marca, ya que al parecer se esmeran mucho por sus funciones extras pero sus funciones primarias son una porquería. Ahórrense el dinero (que no es barato) y el tiempo que gastarán tratando de probarlo. No vale la pena.

bonne prise en main

Buttons are all very nice. Scroll wheel is superb (scrolls, middle-click, and and left and right click of the wheel itself; very neat). Every other mouse I've ever owned pales in comparison. DPI switcher is great. Software for DPI/lights is kinda clunky, but works. My favourite bit is the little place to rest your thumb. It's no ergo-mouse but they definitely considered comfort when they built it. RGBA lighting is honestly really cool, though it never turns off so it can get a bit annoying at night (but you could probably shut it off using the Roccat Swarm software, I dunno). Couldn't speak to the reliability/mouse life, but I've used it for the better part of a month now and it only gets better as I get more used to it. Overall, if you're willing to spend the money for it, it won't let you down.
