Handling

Ergonomics

Because of its symmetric V-shape the Kova suits left- and right-handed people and the compact size we think is comfortable. If your one of the users who have the habit to lift the mouse when you hold it with between you thumb and ring finger fortunately you wont press the side buttons. Thanks to its size the mouse wheel is very easy to you even when you click it. Furthermore it's also silent.
At a first glance the Kove looks quite small but that's mainly down to its V-shape. For low sense users it might take a bit longer than for high sense players until they get used to the mouse. The reason for this is the lifting distance where the laser still tracks the surface. Therefore 0.5 to 1 centimeter above the mouspad the Kova still tracks you movements. The buttons pressure point is very well chosen. You can press them without using any force so it's very comfortable. Also after one or two days of using the Kova it does exactly what you want it to do or in other words it is very comfortable.

 

Gliding characteristics

Mainly the Kova has been tested together with Roccat's Sota mousepad. With this combination the gliding characteristics were very good. There won't be any stuttering it just glides very light over the surface. Especially on aluminium or plastic mousepads the Kova performs very well.

Precision / Speed

Generally cursor movements are very precise. Also the possibility to adjust the DPI on the fly makes it a nice tool for gaming. Finally the cursor always ends up where you want it to. After serveral minutes you got quite used to it but we the Kova is easier to use for high sense players than for low sense gamers. This is because of its tracking that still works when the mouse is almost 1 centimeter above a surface.
