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 Mouse wheel
The mouse wheel has a nice tire-like grip easy for scrolling through inventories or the internet.
Pro LEDs
For those with personalities, there is three spots of LEDs on the mouse the mouse wheel sides (which are strictly the colors of the different DPI settings), the Redragon Logo on the Palm area, and the 12 number buttons. The Logo and the 12 buttons can be programmed to change to countless different shades of colors. The LEDs can be set to a breathe function which I think is pretty cool to see in a dark room.
Pro Hardware macro storage
You can plug this mouse to a different pc without losing keybindings and macros.
Pro Lots of buttons
Great for MMORPG's, daily macros and professional software.
Pro Nice Surface
The surface of the Redragon Perdition has a nice grip-like texture that I find myself just plain rubbing at times. After 5+ hours of continuous gameplay, I don't find my hands slipping due to hand sweat getting on the mouse.
Pro Programmable Left-Left click button
Out of the box it starts out as a rapid-fire button, but can be programmed to anything.
Cons
Con Not an ideal mouse for large hands

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 Not suitable for FPS games
Lots of buttons = lots of missclicks
