Aside from making the Kone XP wireless, the Kone XP Air also comes with a dock for convenient charging. At 98 g, the Kone XP Air doesn't weigh any more than the wired version, and promises to deliver up to 100 hours of battery life. Of course, PixArt's PAW3370 sensor, 29 button functions, and optical main button switches are still on board, too.

using my roccat kone aimo as i type this, and I have to say, I don't use the software either, never had a need for it as I like the default preset.

fits my hand better than any other mouse, mine is the 10 year anniversary edition AIMO

That’s a pretty damming review. I absolutely love most Roccat products, got 3 of their mice, mousepad, mic and keyboard. Got the Burst Pro because of the TPU review and it’s the best mouse I’ve ever owned wireless or wired. Just like the keyboard is the best I’ve ever owned, I think it’s called a Vulcan. Kinda wanted this just because but steering clear now. Never had a single issue with their software though

I wanted to love this mouse, but the mouse wheel was atrocious. I went back to my Kone XP.
