ROCCAT Kone Air - Wireless Ergonomic Gaming Mouse with 800 Hour Battery Life, 19K DPI Optical Sensor, Double-Injected Rubber Side Grips, Programmable Button Design, and Titan Optical Switches - White

nice size, similar to the OG Kone Aimo. Solid mouse. I bought it for work since the Government PC's come /w some crap small ones, and I wanted a larger size that was wireless and safe to use on the work computer's. This meets the mark since it doesn't contain any onboard memory. Happy with it. So far im three month's in and on the original batterys. Seems to shut off while idle after a certain time.

This is the best non-mmo/specialty mouse I have ever used.It only has 3 buttons on the side but that is more than enough for what games I play as well as the mouse itself being a little on the bigger side. Also it weighs a good bit with 2 double A batteries in it which again I love as I use a metal mouse pad so the lighter 60-70kg mice move around when i even try and click.If you have slightly larger hands and don't mind a bit of weight on your mouse - and you need one that uses AA batteries this is the best thing you can buy imo.

This review isn't about gaming use as I don't PC game much. I've only been using it for a day but I really like it as a former Logitech mouse guy I prefer a programable wireless mouse using AA batteries and the large size isn't an issue for me. I moved off of Logitech because of constant double-click issues of their mice after 1-2 years which cause problems like making drag&drop nearly impossible and closing windows you didn't want to closed. This issue is cause by their button switches (which seems like an industry-wide issue) but the more expensive optical switches don't have this issue. So about 2-3 years ago I bought the Roccat Kone Air Pro and knew about the scroll-wheel issue but it was manageable for me. This mouse doesn't seem to have the scroll-wheel issue like the Pro so I hoping to get a couple of years of good use out of it.Another review mentioned there was no software/driver for the mouse. Turtle Beach bought Roccat in 2019 and seems to be ending the Roccat brand and now the Roccat website is gone. Roccat Swarm is the name of the software for all there mice, so on Turtle Beach website go to support/software download and search for roccat swarm. Also of note customization only works in wifi mode, bluetooth mode will only be the default button assignments.EDIT: Around June 2024 Turtle Beach rolled out new software - Swarm II, which has been buggy and unstable. If you like the mouse definitely try to find the original Roccat swarm software.

UPDATE: My new mouse used my 2 AA batteries from Rayovac, and they lasted ALL the way from November 10th 2022 when i first received the shipment of the mouse and started using it, ALL THE WAY to March 30th 2023 which is today! THAT IS FIVE MONTHS on only 2 AA batteries!!!! I did use it almost always in BlueTooth (USB3) mode (and not in regular dongle mode) but still ... WOW!!!!!MY REVIEW is now upgraded from 3 stars (because i hated the easyshift button placement to 4 stars because of SUCH GREAT battery life / such tiny power use from the mouse in BlueTooth mode!!!!)MY PREVIOUS mouse, a Logitech wireless, i went through 2 AAs EVERY SINGLE MONTH!!!!This mouse has now lasted FIVE MONTHS on just the same 2 AA batteries!!!!I LOVE my new mouse ... but i really do not like where they put the "EasyShift" button as i tend to use mice ambidextrously and when i am holding it in my left hand i am always accidentally pressing that lowermost EasyShift button and it tends to cause a lot of problems. I guess i should have waited to see if they'd make a similar model mouse that was more ambi friendly.Otherwise i love this mouse and i am very much looking forward to seeing how long my new batteries last according to their advertised "800 hours" (on bluetooth only, using 2 AA's, probably)I also wish they had made 2 switches on the bottom, 1 for on/off and the other for mode select (normal or bluetooth). i do not really find it all that easy or convenient with it being a 3-position switch. oh well. It glides smooth and feels nice in my hand and is very similar to my previous mouse, which had developed horrible double-click problems the Logitech G602. This mouse from Roccat has OPTICAL SWITCHES so this problem is NOT SUPPOSED to crop up. But i guess we'll see. The switches on this new mouse do have a decent mechanical feel to them, despite being TITAN optical.I also love that this new Roccat mouse barely has any LEDs on it -- i prefer performance over looks and so this really does mean it should save a ton on battery power over the future.
