Roccat Prepares Kova Pure Performance Gaming Mouse
Roccat is preparing its second gaming-grade mouse, the Kova. The company made its debut in the field with the Roccat Kone. Slated for market availability next month, Roccat Kova features a chiseled ambidextrous design. It has a maximum unit length of 12 cm, and maximum unit width of 6.5 cm, and weighs 90 g (excl. cable). The USB cable measures 2 m long. Apart from the main three buttons and the scroll-wheel, the mouse has two programmable buttons on either sides. The sides have GRIPTECH non-slip stabilization surfaces for better grip, and the scroll-wheel has a rubberized surface. It has a multi-color (configurable) illumination system which also provides feedback if mouse settings are changed. Under the hood is a 3200 dpi optical sensor. The Roccat Kova is expected to be priced around the 50 EUR mark.

Typing error...maybe he was too excited :P
Finally a decent gaming mouse with an ambidextrous design! I do regular tasks right handed but I game left handed. Now it all depends on the size and weight of this mouse for me. It's kinda on the pricey side, but my search might be over.......can't wait for some reviews.:)
More hotkeys on mouse, its gonna be crazy to play any game without this mouse heh
Their stuff is REALLY amazing :) A little on the pricey side (for me atleast), but after my experience with THE KONE, I'm sure to grab the other stuff. Gonna make me a ROCCAT game pack ^^
If I were you, I would wait a bit. Sure, Roccat VALO seems nice, but early reviews said something about few technical glitches.. and one of my favorite German shops even don´t want to sell them cause of technical problems. Otherwise they sell pretty much everything from Roccat.
I have Kone v1.. its near-perfect mouse, but just "near".. aswell has few technical glitches, which I believe, were fixed in v2.. tough.. Roccat didn´t offered anything to v1 users.. even if they were aware of problems and cause of them created v2.
I like that mouse tough, but.. I would probably never buy something from them again.. Their attitude towards smaller review webs wasn´t exactly something I would like..
EDIT: I just opened ROCCAT site and its very nice looking products ...... Kone the previous version mouse have superb looking and features >>>> ROCCAT ROCKS <<<< .
