Many hardcore fans of the Roccat brand will lament last year's absorption of designs/IPs into the Turtle Beach product portfolio. Five years earlier, the German PC gaming accessory maker was acquired by the larger North American organization—at the time, mouse enthusiasts expressed worries regarding a sudden cut-off of popular models. The long-running Kone series was a main topic of conversation. Pleasingly, Roccat's engineering department continued to deliver new designs and refreshes of old favorites well into the early 2020s. The Kone Pure Air and Pure SEL were the team's last models to emerge under the banner of Roccat, prior to 2024's full Turtle Beach takeover. Confusingly, this somewhat unfaithful Kone design was only made available to a South Korean customer base.
Kone Pure models—in wireless (Air) and wired (SEL) forms—eventually trickled out to wider global market regions, albeit with Turtle Beach logos printed on their outer shells and packaging. A lukewarm reception from the gaming mouse community prompted further speculation—would the Kone lineage end in 2024? Chinese gaming mouse manufacturers have often "brazenly" cloned the designs of many Western-developed models. Loyal fans and brand purists would normally decry the emergence of a throwback to classic Roccat Pure times, but KYSONA's recently unveiled rendition is being celebrated. Their Uranus Pro wireless gaming mouse offering has gained traction in the West, thanks to a prominent YouTuber's recommendation and positive feedback from owners of early import units. KYSONA is hardly a big name, but they are involved in the contract manufacturing of peripherals for "visible" brands—including AJAZZ, Attack Shark, and DELUX.
The Uranus Pro's shell is not an exact copy of Roccat's timeless right-hand ergonomic shape—according to initial write-ups—but it is near enough to deliver nostalgic vibes. True connoisseurs noted that the Chinese OEM was unable to recreate Roccat's very special old-school coating. KYSONA has outfitted its "Kone Pure clone" with some of the market's best internal components—most notably; PixArt's PAW3395 optical sensor. Turtle Beach's technically inferior Pure Air model is currently on sale with a reduced price of $79.99 (normal MSRP: $99.99) via their official webstore. KYSONA lists its Uranus Pro black or white options with $44.99 price points (not including regional VAT and shipping fees). Their limited edition orange variant demands a premium upcharge of $5.
