Roccat to Unveil Groundbreaking Gear at Computex
ROCCAT Studios, the German manufacturer of professional gaming equipment, is ready to roll out an impressive line-up of new products at E3 in Los Angeles on June 7 and at Computex in Taipei on June 5.
High on the list is the ROCCAT Kone XTD Max Customization Gaming Mouse - the new incarnation of the legendary ROCCAT Kone[+]. Equipped with the latest technological gaming innovations and an 8200 DPI Pro Aim R3 laser sensor - as well as being loaded with the full power of ROCCAT software - the Kone XTD is expected to surpass its famous predecessor and claim supremacy in the field of laser gaming mice. The "Next Gen" Kone is expected to hit shelves internationally early October 2012.
The Hamburg-based gaming peripherals manufacturer will also show off its ROCCAT Lua Tri-Button Gaming Mouse at both E3 and Computex. Packing a fully- adjustable 2000 DPI Pro Optic sensor in a sleek, ambidextrous V-shape, the Lua delivers straightforward control, comfort and style for both left- and right-handed gamers. The Lua will be in shops around the globe August 2012.
And finally, in what is sure to be exciting news for many gamers, ROCCAT has announced that the first beta version of the much-anticipated ROCCAT Power-Grid app will be available for hands-on use at both E3 and Computex. Power-Grid - which allows PC gamers to control their games and computer with their smartphones - sent a seismic jolt through the gaming world when first announced. And the buzz continues.
"I'm thrilled about our global fan base," says René Korte, ROCCAT Studios Founder and CEO. "We're still young, but we're going full steam ahead internationally. ROCCAT started in Europe in 2007. In 2010 we opened our Asian office, and this year we launched our US business. We are, and will continue to be, dedicated to helping players worldwide enjoy the best possible PC gaming experience. And the future looks awesome."

Been there, done that. Wont move from my gear anytime soon.
mechanical keyboard = nothing to improve
Logitech G9x = only way it could have better sensor would be if I got old DeathAdder V1 and transplanted it
I had Kone, it was decent, but thanks to Avago sensor in that, nothing much. Kone + is even worse as most manufacturers dont seem to be able to work out Avago 9500 and Roccat isnt exception.
Their mousepads are decent, but from almost everyone else too.
Roccat Valo took ages to develop and in the end its flawed and buggy keyboard.
Roccat was on right track at beggining, when they somewhat tried to listen to gamers. Later it turned into loads of marketing crap. So goodbye Roccat. Its a bit shame, that real options for gamer are pretty much "very old proven gear" or something from Logitech.
I would expect that all major gaming companies will begin offering 9800-series mice very soon as the swap should be relatively uncomplicated.
And yes 8200 DPI is approximately 5000 DPI more than anyone needs.
Its usable for gaming, which other variants of Avago 9500 are not.
I kinda doubt newer 9800 will be better, but I will try it eventually. 8200 DPI is really too much. Those 5000 are usable, but frankly nothing over 3000 is much usefull.
Its like megapixels in compact cameras.. you have more of them, so you have that ugly noisy photo in bigger size (that doesnt include dSLRs ofc. just point-n-shoots).
Then again, the sensor, performance, and feel of a mouse is more important than DPI any day.
Personaly I have 800, 1300, 3000, 5000. First two for OS, third for flying in BF3, fourth for shooting in BF3. :D It works pretty good, tho Logitech did pretty good job even with lower resolutions than native. But I dont recommand going over 5000, mouse starts "floating".
