Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Amazing shape
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.
Pro All the buttons are very well-built
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.
Pro Good build quality
The Kone Pure Optical has great build quality. The materials with which this mouse is built feel very nice, there's no squeakyness when pressing the buttons and the cable is pretty good as well.
Pro Textured thumb rest
There is a textured thumb rest on the left side giving the user an area for their thumb to rest while also providing more grip for moving the mouse.
Pro Sniper button
The included sniper button will instantly decrease the mouses sensitivity while pressed in, giving the player an advantage accurately placing the cursor where it needs to be such as in headshots in an FPS.
Pro Aluminum housing
The M60 features a solid aluminum body at its core for a superior build quality.
Pro 8 programmable buttons
There are 8 fully programmable buttons on the mouse. This includes a 'sniper button' next to the thumb, which by default toggles a shifted DPI to allow for more accurate sniping while gaming.
Pro Adjustable weight and center of gravity
There are 3 removable weights in a triangle formation, allowing you to change not only the weight, but also the center of gravity.
Cons
Con Not an ideal mouse for large hands
The Kone Pure Optical is quite a rather small mouse, suitable for people with small and medium-sized hands. Someone with larger-than-average hands will most likely be very uncomfortable using this mouse.
Con High lift off distance
The Roccat Kone Pure Optical has a higher than average lift off distance of 3mm, though it can be lowered in software (Advanced Settings tab) or with the tape trick.
Con Braided cable
The braided cable is stiff and may catch on the mouse pad on a regular basis.
Con Too light
The 3 weights and aluminum frame are just not heavy enough. If they were to add a weighted sled for more weight instead of 3 plugs, they could make it comfortable for a wider range of people. Satisfying both users who like light or heavy mice.
Con Finnish rubs off
The rubberized texture comes off the thumb rest and ring finger side around 2 months in. The slick plastic underneath is not a sure grip when moving around in game. Considering this is a gaming class mouse you would think they would use a textured finished material not a coating.
Con Laser sensor
The included Avago ADNS-9500 laser sensor is going to have trouble with acceleration.
Con Poor middle mouse button fail
Middle mouse button click stopped working reliably after about 2 months of negligible gaming.
