For the purpose of this review the Kone[+] was used for everything this reviewer did over the course of 5 days, from everyday web browsing to playing Counter Strike:Source. As everyone who uses a mouse knows, the major factors in choosing a particular model are comfort, sensor response and accuracy. In this respect the Kone[+] ticks all the boxes.

The mouse is a perfect size and ergonomically comfortable, which lends itself very well to prolonged use for everyday tasks and for those frag heavy gaming sessions. The rubberized coating does not lose it’s smooth feel and grip no matter how long you seem to have hold of it. The software and customization of the Kone[+] puts it on another level when compared to its immediate competition in the market place. The only downside in this respect is the position of the EasyShift[+] button, which sadly cannot be mapped to another position on the mouse.

It really is hard to pick fault with this rodent but sadly there are a couple, the EasyShift[+] problem mentioned above and the position of the front button, which always seems just out of reach. If these two problems were to be addressed then the Kone[+] would surely be the king of mice.

At around £65 it may seem pricey but the attention to detail and the sheer customization levels offered could well sway it for people looking for what is almost the ultimate mouse.

Pros
—–

Attention to detail
Build quality
Customisation options
Very comfy to use for long periods

Cons
—–

Slightly high price
2 minor button issues

Given the 2 small issues with button placement and mapping and the high price the Roccat Kone[+] just falls short of scoring a perfect 10 but still offers something special and as such scores a 9/10 and an OverclockersTech Gold Award.
