The Roccat Kone Pure Color Edition Gaming Mouse is available in Phantom White, Inferno Orange, Hellfire Red, and Polar Blue and the regular Pure Black color. It has a Pro-Aim Laser 8200dpi Sensor, 1000Hz polling rate, 1ms response time, 72MHz Turbo Core V2 32-bit Arm based MCU, 576kB onboard memory and more. This is an outstanding mouse!
For those of you out there that are looking for a nice basic but high spec gaming mouse, the ROCCAT KONE Pure - Core Performance Gaming Mouse might well be just right for you. By stripping away some of the gimmicks and not so useful features of the KONE[+], ROCCAT have been able to build a sleek beast with the KONE Pure and here at Benchmark Reviews we aim to test it to its fullest. First of all it is smaller than both the KONE[+] and the KONE XTD, and it also does away with the LED strips and weight adjustment system, leaving a gaming peripheral that is a great pleasure to use. The KONE Pure uses the same Omron switches and R3 Pro-Aim laser sensor found in the KONE XTD but lovingly packs them into a more compact package. Think of the KONE Pure as more of a brother than a replacement to the KONE XTD and KONE[+].
As the second mouse from Roccat’s updated Kone series to hit our labs, the Kone Pure looks to offer the same excellent gaming performance as its sibling – the Kone XTD – while reducing the physical dimensions and retail price. Does the Kone Pure have what it takes to impress as much as the ‘Must Have’ Kone XTD did?
Today DaveChaos reviews the Roccat Kone Pure Gaming Mouse, specifially the Inferno Orange Color Edition. Watch the latest HardwareHeaven video review now!
Today we are taking a look at the limited edition ROCCAT Kone Pure Inferno Orange. Armed with an 8200 DPI sensor, Omron switches, customizable lighting and a 32-bit on-board processor, the Kone Pure has high expectations and big boots to fill. Despite all its features, the Kone Pure comes in at a relatively modest asking price of £58.51 inc vat.
So, does ROCCAT have another winner on their hands?
This week I've been playing around in my favourite games, working and wasting time on the internet, just like any other week then! The difference this week of course is that I've been using the Kone Pure Inferno Orange mouse from Roccat, the latest in a range of colour options as well as the latest addition to the extremely popular Kone mouse range.
ROCCAT delivers a Kone laser mouse that is all about the tech and less about the flash and bragging rights. Let's take a look at the Optical Core.
The Roccat Kone Pure Optical Gaming Mouse comes with a Pro-Optic Sensor R3 with up to 4000dpi, 1000Hz polling rate, 1ms response time, 12000fps, 10.8megapixel, 30G acceleration, 3.8m/s (150ips), 16-bit data channel and much more. The overall styling and build quality is excellent, it's comfy to hold and fits medium hands.
Roccat have produced some of the coolest and best performing peripherals we’ve ever tested here at eTeknix, going from the Roccat Kone XTD gaming mouse which I personally regard as the best mouse on the market, to their smaller Kone Pure and the hybrid Savu, all of which won eTeknix awards for their incredible performance and extensive features, amongst many other great reasons. So naturally we’re going into this review with pretty high expectations of both Roccat and the Kone Pure Optical gaming mouse.
The Optical sensor is a big deal for some gamers, laser is wonderful to use and incredibly accurate across a wide range of surfaces, while also being capable of extremely high DPI in excess of 8200. Optical is typically capable of lower DPI settings of around 4000 and doesn’t work on some surface types such as glass and aluminium. Both types of sensor have theirs benefits and while I lack the words to describe how, optical feels different to laser and the way it tracks is really a matter of taste compared to laser. Roccat know that a lot of gamers love optical sensors and would rather have one over crazy high DPI laser sensors, which is why they’ve released the Pure Optical mouse.
The mouse is really well equipped with a high quality sensor, 1000Hz polling rate, a super low response time, a fast tracking speed, built in ARM CPU, on board memory for profiles, macros and most importantly of all zero angle snapping and prediction.
The Roccat Kone Pure performs really well. The precision and sensitivity are very good, there's no acceleration and the lift-off distance is only 0.95 mm after calibration. The grip lends itself to low-sense gaming. The software is comprehensive and you can combine the mouse with a Roccat keyboard through the Roccat Talk protocol.
