Conclusion

With the Kova[+] Roccat proves that even a good product can become better. The German based manufacturer of gaming peripherals was therefore able to convice us that the Kova[+] really is a good product. For example the feature that one can program this mouse and afterwards use it without the installation of any drivers is very useful especially for LAN gamers. Furthermore every single button can be configured with the function you'd like. Together which this products symmetric V-shape it is equally useful for left as well as right handed people. You even get some lighting features which can make the mouse look really cool when its dark. There are only two things we would wish Roccat to improve: first the gliding pads could be of a higher quality and second the DPI selection. This one should be programmable in steps by one DPI.

Generally the gliding characteristics are good but it would be very nice if they were a little bit better. This would make the feeling perfect then. Nevertheless it takes almost no time at all to get used to this mouse and it's even suitable for gamers with small hands. Already after a short time you'll hit targets precisely. Especially in combination with aluminium or metal mousepads the noise which is being created when you move the mouse over the pad can be a bit annoying because it's quite loud. On the other hand there is the scroll wheel which feels just perfect. A last thing we missed with this product were additional weight stones because there is quite a number of gamers out there who like heavy mice and for them the Kova[+] really isn't suitable.

The Kova[+] is a very good mouse for gamer who are looking for an individually configurable and very lightweight mouse. Of course the product can also be used as a very precise desktop tool.

The Roccat Kova Gaming Mouse can be bought at Digitec to a price of CHF 62.- (est. EUR 48.-).
