That goes double if you’re using a monitor with a lower refresh rate, although we’re talking about extreme minuscules here.īeyond the specs, the actual in-game experience of using the Roccat Kone XP is exceptionally smooth. Higher polling rates can use slightly more processing power, though, and you might not notice the difference between it and something like 500Hz or even 250Hz. There’s little reason not to use the maximum polling rate here, as it simply affects how frequently the mouse reports its location to the computer. The polling rate here is also handled in an oddly similar way to the DPI, in that you can choose whether you want it to be 100Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz or 1000Hz. Still, DPI swapping is a standard feature on high-end mice, and something I appreciate for when I work and game on the same PC, and it’s robustly implemented here. That leaves you plenty of flexibility to adjust your needs based on game genre or even productivity, although many high-level players suggest simply sticking to one setting and allowing muscle memory to develop for it. You can setup 5 different DPI levels, ranging from 50 - 19,000, then swap between them on the fly with either custom mapped buttons or the two default DPI switching buttons to the left of left-click. The Kone XP screams gaming thanks to its RGB, and it lives up to those impressions on every front.

What’s more, you can increase the remappable actions to 29 using an Easy Shift key to toggle between mapping layers. Sure, a more spread-out layout might not be great for keeping track of a bunch of MMO abilities, but it’s ideal for other genres like shooters.
HOW DO I UNINSTALL ROCCAT KONE DRIVER FULL
With a total of 15 remappable actions (11 if you don’t count the scroll wheel tilt and scroll controls), this mouse rivals MMO mice on sheer button count, while opting for more ergonomic placement than slapping a full keypad on the side of your mouse. Part of that comfort is thanks to clever button placement, as I never felt I had to strain to reach any of the many extra functions this mouse offers. Much of this is also probably due to the mouse’s light 104g weight, but the thumb rest and body shape were among the most ergonomic I’ve tested, for me even beating out some best productivity mouse contenders like the Microsoft Arc Mouse. I actually used a palm grip for much of my time with this mouse, as I found it was easy to just lay my hand on top of it and forget it was even there. And while I naturally find myself gravitating towards a fingertip grip, pretty much every way I could hold this mouse felt seamless to me.
The Roccat Kone XP is built to seamlessly fit into your hand regardless of whether you use a claw, fingertip or palm grip.
It’s hard to be too harsh on the mouse’s looks when it feels this good to use, though.
