Pros
Pro Users can adjust the mouse's comfort and grip thanks to the interchangeable thumb grips
The Glaive has three different thumb grips to choose from, with each altering the grip as well as the width of the mouse. This will give users more flexibility as to which grip type/mouse width fits them best. These grips are magnetic so they are easy to swap yet also stay in place pretty well.

This mouse is great for every grip style. The right side lets you palm or fingertip grip the mouse regardless of your hand size.
Pro Full Linux support
Roccat releases official drivers for Linux for most (if not all) of their products and the Kone Pure Optical is not an exception.
Pro No angle snapping or pointer prediction
With the Avago ADNS-3090 optical sensor being used there is no angle snapping or pointer prediction to be found.

The buttons are very well-built and feel great when pressed. There is almost no travel to any of them and they are quite light.
