This time last year ROCCAT released the KONE[+] to replace the original KONE Gaming Mouse, this year there are two upgrades for the KONE gaming mouse line - the KONE XTD and the KONE Pure. In this article Benchmark Reviews will be looking at the ROCCAT KONE XTD Max Customization Gaming Mouse (model# ROC-11-810).

The ROCCAT KONE XTD looks exactly the same as its predecessor but there have been a few changes under the hood. For starters the KONE XTD boasts an 8200 DPI Pro Aim R3 laser sensor, a 32-bit Turbo Core V2 72MHz ARM MCU processor, upgraded Omron switches and an advanced Tracking & Distance Control Unit. We were impressed with the KONE[+] so let's see if the KONE XTD is a worthy replacement.

During the course of this review we will take a look at the aesthetics and features of the ROCCAT KONE XTD and also test it in our usual mix of software and games. We aim to be thorough here at Benchmark Reviews but we still need reader interaction to tell us where we might be coming short, if you have any queries or suggestions on how we can improve our articles then please don't hesitate to comment below.
