Roccat Kone Pure Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2013-03-08
welcome to another unboxing this is the Roccat Kone pure a gaming mouse for the gamers who want all of the gaming features imma let that sink in for a moment so in terms of features what do we got Pro aim laser sensor r3 so it's an 8200 dpi sensor that they're claiming is good for up to 1200 fps okay so it should be very smooth movement button duplicator easy shift + will show you this on the mouse itself so what that basically allows you to do is set up a shift button that enables different functionality of the other buttons so instead of going ok function 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 you can go okay shift 1 and then that could be function 8 for example so you can have you can have a shift button that allows you to enable more functionality this is great for MMO players maybe less of a factor for FPS players customizable lighting multicolor so 16 point whatever million colors on the Rockette logo at the back rocket rocket I keep saying it wrong TDC U is interesting so this is a tracking technology that is designed to help you control how much your lift distance affects the sensitivity of the mouse itself so so you can configure how much lift distance you want to have before it stops sensing and allows you to not sort of move all over the place when you lift the mouse up when you get to the edge of your mouse pad one other solution to that problem is to get a bigger mouse pad and that's usually what I recommend especially if you're a low sensitivity gamer it's nice to have a nice big pad but it's nice to know that if you lift it's not going to go all over the place so it's got light system drivers and macros ah rocket talk so rocket talk is a good one what rocket talk does is it actually allows you with multiple rocket devices that support rocket talk rocket talk they are able to communicate with each other to enable sort of certain certain bonuses so whether it's things like ambient lighting effects or feedback based on you know you got some like poison thing going on and the color of your mouse can actually change to green when there's a poison effect I mean not everyone looks at their mouth while they're gaming but it's just one of those things is kind of cool especially if you're at a LAN you know you you're low on mana and all your peripherals starting to grow glow blue and kind of cool things like that they've also got what they call I totally have a cheat sheet for this you guys because I just kind of gave up on remembering everything talk FX which is audio feedback which will actually allow you to go okay I'm going to change my profile but maybe I'm not staring at my mouse so maybe like we've seen mice that have color changing effects when you change profiles but maybe I'm not looking at it say that same thing where maybe I'm not looking at it when the man is low because I'm concerned with replenishing my mana what it'll do is it'll actually tell you through your speakers the new dpi setting that you've changed you can configure what kinds of things that will tell you so for example it can even say things like volume up they've got a demo on their website that's actually pretty neat so so that's cool 32-bit turbo core ARM processor so it's got a fast chip in it 576 kilobytes of onboard memory allows you to store tons of macros and settings and it's got seven mouse buttons which we showed you before high build quality using Omron switches so let's actually show you the mouse itself so it's a bit on the smaller side it's not a huge Mouse by any stretch of the imagination it is ergonomically shaped so you can see it's designed for right-handed people shorter index finger longer middle finger just a 2 2 D mouse button so there's no left and right shift just a click and then up and down you've got back and forward buttons here on the left I think these are a must for any Mouse these days if you don't have back and forward then it's sort of brutal and then these guys right here for profile switching or honestly whatever else you would like so then 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 those are your buttons this is the lighting zone right here and on the bottom you find your 8200 dpi sensor along with some Teflon pads along the top and the bottom of the mouse these are big enough that you're not going to have any issues with them I hated some of the old mice they used to have little tiny pads like in the corners and it made them wear out a lot faster was very 9 they'd come off too because there's not enough adhesive on them so that was just ridiculous so in terms of ergonomics I'd say this is about perfect for my hands even a touch on the small side if I was going to Palm it out right because you can see that if I put my palm here my fingers are going to go right to the end of the mouse itself so it's more of a claw grip Mouse and I mean you know what here I'm going to take the camera from slick for a second here I'm going let him put his hand on it just to give you some idea so that's with sort of a baseball glove baseball mitt sized hand Nowak sorry do it again I didn't get you before baseball mitt sized hand so you can see it's a little bit on the small side for him so I'd say this one is would be great for girls guys with smaller hands but not necessarily optimized for extremely large hands and I'm totally going to go back to my cheat sheet make sure I didn't miss anything and I think we are good so don't forget to subscribe oh yeah the rocket achievements so there's actually an application built into the driver that will track your usage now this can be useful because it'll tell you things like which buttons are being over utilized or underutilized so that you can optimize better for you know your gameplay which ones you find easiest to reach maybe you have a hard to reach button and you're using that one all the time and an easy to reach button that you're not using all the time so you can track stats like that and it also gives you little achievements like I think diesel one called scroll master sultan of scroll that's what it was called so that's pretty funny don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
