I believe can be tailored to our liking.

I have a Kone XTD and Ryos MK Pro Brown. Roccat reminds me of what Logitech used to be ,durable and not cheap feeling like logitech is today. It reminded me so much of the MX510 Series. I had 2 G500s then and both broke in less than a year.

I didn't know Roccat is a Subsidiary of Turtle Beach (Creative Labs rival)

My roccat burst pro died within a year. At leat the middle mouse button did.
Though I must add that the design they use here is much less prone to do that.

I also tend to use mmb a lot, I would say more than right click. It certainly was not the first mouse to have it's mmb die.

Yeah just turn it off, i would of thought it be that easy ha.

MK Pro user here how ever i had to swap the leds out my self ( amber )so they would keep working more than 3 months, plastics worn down now too. Although they did send me 3 replacements and let me keep one of them but as soon as that warranty ran out they polity told me to uck off.

The $170 keyboard ended up costing me over $220 after shipping and buying my own leds.


Yeah i noticed that with logitech and the warranty's have been getting shorter too.

Funny you say that about Logitech. I used to only buy Logitech mice and keyboards but I found myself with a Roccat Kova after a fancy Logitech mouse died and I didn't have a ton of money at the time and its the best mouse I've ever had. I ended up buying a Kone Pro Air which I don't even use as the Kova is perfect with a mouse bungee and I bought a Vulcan Pro which is easily the best keyboard I've ever had. They remind me of many Logitech G series products but I reckon they're better.
