Pros
Pro Mouse wheel left and right click
Normally a mouses scroll wheel will click in the center and turn but the G600 also has a left and right click to the scroll wheel as well. This just gives extra functionality that can be programmed to an easily reached area.

With 20 programmable buttons the Logitech G600 makes for a great MMo mouse due to the large percentage of commands needed for an MMO.
Pro Smartly placed extra button not found on other mice
There is a button below ones pinky on the G600, which separates itself from other MMO mice. Basically it is just another programmable button that is easy to reach just in case one wants to use it.
Pro Customizable RGB lighting
RGB lighting can set to varying brightness or a pulsing/breathing effect. Can also set to cycle through all the colors.

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.
Cons
Con Thumb buttons may feel too stiff
Some may find that the side buttons require too much force, so much that you move your mouse cursor with each button press.
Con Ergonomics not the best
Often mice in this price range ($80) offer ways to customize the ergonomics. Sadly there is nothing like that with the G600 making for an uncomfortable experience for extended play times.
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.
