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 Battery life
The battery lasts about a day, depending on what sensor settings you use. This is somewhat mitigated by the ability to just plug in the cable and keep going, though.
Con Large base
The G700s's bottom is exceptionally large, and dirt/grime often gets stuck on the bottom and causes tracking issues.
