Software


A vast sea of customization options is how I would describe the ROCCAT Swarm software. In the Settings tab we have the OS mouse controls and CPI options. Let's take a look at the profiles: you can have a maximum of five onboard, and can pretty much store an unlimited number otherwise. You can bind them to get triggered once a specific game (or any other kind of program) starts up. You can import and export these profiles too. The very same goes for macros as well. Button assignment shows twelve options by default, and another twelve with the Easy-Shift[+] command, which works like a toggle button for another layer of button mapping. Of course, you can set this function to any button as all buttons can be customized. The Advanced Settings tab has the sensor options, such as the polling rate, LOD, and angle snapping settings. You can also add sound feedback to certain actions, such as switching profiles or changing the CPI level. There is an auto apply option at the bottom, so you don't have to save the settings every time you make a change because it will store them automatically.
The software takes up 251 MB of disk space on my configuration, and about 13 MB of memory while running in the background. If you want, you can delete the software after setting everything up because the mouse has 512 KB of on-board memory.

Lighting



And this is where the magic happens. Well, it's not real magic, but the AIMO definitely does a "magical" job. I can't really describe this type of lighting. It's like a flow effect, but reacts independently to the form of usage. Living Light really lives up to its name. The colors are bright, the transitions are smooth, and the settings are many. So even though the mouse is called Kone AIMO, there are a lot of options to choose from instead of that one specific (which isn't really specific) lighting setup. You can set their individual brightness and speed values as well. There are pre-defined color themes, or you can set five individual zones up to your preferences.

I've made a video in order to demonstrate these effects:
