ROCCAT Kone XP Air Review 6

ROCCAT Kone XP Air Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a USB Type-C to Type-A charging cable, charging dock, and quick start guide in the oversized box.

Weight


My scale shows around 98 g (+/- 1 g), which is slightly less than the weight cited by ROCCAT. Though losing some of the RGB lighting, the Kone XP Air weighs the same as the wired Kone XP while being wireless. Compared to the Kone Pro Air, the Kone XP Air weighs 25 g more, which is considerable. A fairly good weight overall.

Cable


The Kone XP Air comes with a paracord-like, braided charging cable (Type-A to Type-C). Though not quite in the same tier as charging cables of the recent ASUS ROG or Glorious wireless offerings in terms of flexibility, it is not far behind, and easily more flexible than that of the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro, for instance. As such, I consider this cable flexible enough to allow using the Kone XP Air wired without feeling overly restricted. The cable is 1.80 m long.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable if used in conjunction with the wireless extender. The wireless extender can be used to keep the distance between dongle and mouse as short as possible. A storage compartment for the wireless dongle is located on the underside of the mouse.

Feet


The feet on the Kone XP Air are non-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. Glide is excellent and thickness average. Compared to Kone XP, the feet on the Kone XP Air are differently shaped. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the feet appear more translucent than most others, which is due to little to no dye being used. Much like on the Burst Pro and Kone Pro, these are described as heat-treated, which is said to ensure optimal glide right out of the box, and much like on the Burst Pro, the feet indeed required no perceivable break-in period. The ring around the sensor ensures CPI stay consistent upon applying vertical pressure.
