Packaging

Aside from the mouse, one finds a quick start guide and set of replacement mouse feet in the box.

Weight

My scale shows around 98 g (+/- 1 g), which is slightly less than the weight cited by ROCCAT. Compared to the Kone Pro, the Kone XP adds a whopping 34 g despite merely featuring additional buttons and more extensive RGB lighting. The Kone XP also weighs 27 g more than the similarly sized Glorious Model I, which has fewer buttons and a non-solid shell, but does have RGB lighting, albeit to a smaller degree. Accordingly, the Kone XP may be regarded as rather heavy for its size and feature set.

Cable

The Kone XP comes with a paracord-like, braided cable. In terms of flexibility, it is very similar to that of the Kone Pro; i.e., roughly on par with the Xtrfy MZ1 cable. Its measured length is 1.80 m.

Feet

The feet on the Kone XP are non-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. Glide is excellent and thickness average. 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. A full set of replacement feet is included in the box, which is no doubt a most welcome addition.
