  • I've been doubting to buy this because I heard the mouse wheel is very weak and breaks after a week of use, is that true?

  • How can I get that driver menu? I don't have such a disc, and I cannot seem to be able to do anything for if I download it from the site. I am stuck in a very nasty position.

  • Good review but next time cut your nails.

  • just get steelseries or razer

  • I really love Roccat but ever since my cable on Kova burned ( right where the cable comes out of the mouse) im a little dissapointed in it :x

  • all i heard was "Em.."

  • I've just bought this mouse and are really happy with it!

    It works just fine and got some awesome functions!

    10/10

  • @siZe328 good for few weeks, then problems start.. :(

  • I have this fucking roccat. That 'not plus version' is 5 times better than this one.

    They just make a nice looking mouse, but Its not worth playing :) Buy another one.

  • When you make videos like this... try talking into the mic like you actually care about what you are doing. You sound bored and forced dude. Otherwise great content for the review.

  • I've recently got this mouse, and I can't get the cap off to insert new weights. Is this a common issue or am I just stupid? I know which side to turn it (match up the arrows) but I can't move it.

  • cut your finger nails iiiiiiiuuuuu man yUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKK­KK !

  • i didnt get a cd with my mouse, how do i change colors then?

  • planning on buying this in the next few days, i have the kave headset 'love it' may have to get this as my mouse is crap, same with my keyboard lol, might just get everything from roccat lol

  • YOU SOUND LIKE YOURE FROM LONDON

  • Check out review in description - an update of 6 months worth of use has been added. The ROCCAT logo peels off and surface wears down to plastic underneath. Have tried to contact them about this but they have refused to comment....avoid.

  • @VortezReviews Avoid just because of the logo wears off? or is there more to it? I looked at the text review and the only problem seemed to be the logo wear off.

  • @ghostiman The coating that covers the surface of the mouse just wears thin quickly. This is an expensive bit of kit - it shouldn't happen.

  • This or steelseries sensei ?

  • @101Collateral Sensei

  • @VortezReviews Why the sensei? Why it is better?

  • @VortezReviews SteelSeries looks amazing. Price ? Release date ?

  • @101Collateral why don't u jst knife urself xD

  • @Apurv1990 What do you mean :D i got this one cus of the ergonomic shape

  • Buyer Beware - Scroll Wheel is faulty even in Roccat Kone+

  • @DAANcalgary and th design wears fairly quickly!

  • @DAANcalgary I have also the same problem on two Roccat's service is useless and there is no software support for OsX... back to Razer

  • @DAANcalgary so.. because of this issue... don't you think it's worth buying?? :O... im really thinking about to buy this mouse. please reply.

  • @skypemsner The customization of the software is still one of the BEST on the mouse market, yet the hardware issues are visible enough to create annoyance and made most of us regret purchasing it

  • is this mouse roccat kone gaming mouse PLUS recomended also for FPS shooting games like crossfire, call of duty, crysis2 for good gaming and easy ?

  • Roccat's product names are finnish. Kone means machine, Kova is hard, Apuri is like "helper" etc. :)

  • no offence but try to sound more enthusiastic, Cos it's quite hard to listen to you, while you sound quite down, not trying to offend you, just a suggestion

  • @churchie777 None taken :) This was shot quite a while ago now, if you check out our recent videos and those from the last 6 months they are much better... i hope ;)

  • If ur a fps gamer and u search a good quality and performance mouse then this is it guys.I have it and must say Best mouse iv ever had so far

  • Nice review! You answered everything that I was wondering about the Kone +. What keyboard are you using? I'm in need of one, do you have any tips?

  • Ive spent weeks researching Razer products. Having never owned any "gaming" periphials I wanted to make the right choice. Was going to get the Razer Mamba, Razer Lycosa, Razer Carcharias, and Razer Ironclad. Now that i've found Roccat im in love. Thank you for the video. Will be purchasing Roccat Kone +, Roccat Isku, and Roccat Kulo 7.1. Build quality just seems so much better. And when my Razer Ironclad starts peeling...well guess i'll get a Roccat Alumic too. So glad I found this.

  • Hey Vortez, i just got a quick question i got my kone+ today but the software takes ages for it to apply new things i told it to, and the dpi voice is slow aswell unlike yours on the video

  • Comment removed

  • Ok thanks mate Im currently using the Kone + I picked it up today!! :D

    AMAZING MOUSE! great features! keep on the good videos! :)

  • ok I found it! thx

    very very detailed review! and btw what mouse do you use for daily use?

    what games do you play?

    and which mouse you perfere kone plus or sensei?

  • @dani41396 Glad you found it ok. That review was done by Richard, I use the Kone+ for daily use though and play Dead Island, Black Ops, BF3 etc. The Sensei looks an amazing mouse though, give it a try!

  • I searched and I didnt find :( 

  • @dani41396 Strange, try putting into google - steelseries sensei vortez

  • where is a review of the new steelseries sensei?

  • @dani41396 On our website - vortez dot net

  • roccat or razer i prefer roccat mouse but i dont no what the best product.

  • I have heard in a few places that this has problems with the mouse wheel breaking quite quickly, i was wandering if you know anything else on this and if they've fixed it, thanks :D

  • This is the best mouse EVER PERIOD. Razor is a little piece of paper compared to Roccat Kone [+] BUY THIS MOUSE! IT IS WORTH IT. I tought owww, this is just another plain mouse, but it is perfect, 6000 DPI and it is soooooooooooo precise!!!

  • How to clean the mouse?

  • can you do a review on da roccat pyra?

  • @Bigwinism The Pyra has already been reviewed on Vortez dot net :)

  • @VortezReviews which mouse is biggest between roccat kone [+], mx518, cm storm sentinel advance cuz i have really large hands

  • lol is that a battlefield 3 background i see on your pc???

  • @MogenHowTo No it isn't mate ;)

  • I had my sound muted when I entered the video, and before I unmuted I could see that you were brittish. You really look british

  • @babbas Is that good or bad??

  • @VortezReviews good :D

  • @VortezReviews bad. fucking redcoat

  • Is It True That The Roccat Kone Plus Have A Scroll Glitch?

  • This Vs Razer Deathadder Which One Is Better?

  • lol at fully "lighted" I think they meant fully lit.

    German translation so give them a break.

  • How come your mouse only said DPI up, mine actually says the DPI, like it will say 3200 DPI.

  • @CrashRoswell Driver update ;) the old, original drivers only said DPI up etc now you get specific settings called out!

  • @VortezReviews Yeah it's obviously a benefit, as up and down is just as useless in game as no sound, active dictation of the DPI setting is much more useful, I've owned the first Kone, in which the Mouse wheel Broke, they replaced it with the V2 and that is now my dads mouse as it was perfect still I'd say the Kone's are the best mouses in the world, good review. The auto profile switches for differed games and apps is one of its best features imo.

  • HOW BIG IS IT???

    

  • in my country, kone means wife

  • 1u cant buy this in america ... thats suck

  • @sistematic1 You can buy it at Performance PCs

  • @Ziakel in the U.S

    

  • @sistematic1 have it ship to you. That's what I'm doing.

  • 15 min to review a freakin mouse

  • When i try to install the driver it just says that it fails.

  • I didnt get any driver disk with my mouse?

  • Would you recommend this mouse to a claw gripper, like me?

  • @austinwangg I claw gripped with my old mouse, and to be honest, the grip you use is going to be based on the mouse you use. I claw gripped my old mouse because it was a mouse made to claw grip on. Now with this new mouse, I grip it differently, but it is just as good :)

  • what is the + stand for what is extra on the mouse??

  • @clinte1 The + signifies easyshift - basically a button on the mouse that acts like a shift key allowing you to duplicate the commands on the mouse!

  • worst review in history, no one cares what the box looks like, how does it play, is it usable or just a load of gimmicks?

  • Kone is finnish and means "machine", often used also for "computer"

  • roccat cone the best Gaming mose ;)

  • is it possible to change the left right button on scroll, to like lean or something ingame

  • When I click apply on my profiles it doesnt change .. I still have some default setting which I cant find where my mouse changes from all colors and is breathing and has very low sensitivity.

  • FUCK YOU ROCCAT!!! mouse wheel broken after 3 MONTHS!!!

  • @Ka1noFury

    Same here, and contacted my reseller for a new mouse... well accually i've already done that 2 times. Using my third roccat kone+ now and it also is getting some problem with the scroll wheel.

  • I love the glowiness!

    My Deathadder works properly at the moment so this will have to wait :-)

  • I watched this for 5 minutes and became very bored of his voice, sounds like he just woke up. Sorry dude.

  • I've had big problems with this mouse, and for me it's totally useless. I was really looking forward to get this mouse with it's enhanced TDCU unit, however i'm gonna have to return this. I hope it's just a malfunction with the one i got and hopefully the next one i recieve will function properly and not having a mouse marker moving across the screen by itself.

    Believe me it's not a driver or tdcu calibration issue

    You can watch a video of it here:

  • Just got this mouse yesterday along with the Roccat Taito mousepad. I'm a beast at CoD4 and MW2 now! BTW I don't play BO cuz it's boring... But the point is I had a Dell mouse and a random small crap mousepad and I was average, I got 2KDR's and 3 KDR's often but i get like 6 KDr's now

  • @WhippinChainzGaming Thanks, now im sure i'll buy it :)

  • this gaming mouse is so cool ...

  • I researched for months and not because of cost I picked the deathadder 3500 dpi, what I found out is true all games pc version wont let you use all the features/dpi settings on "Mouse Button Assignments", plus the 2 large side buttons are great for guys with big hands, I do like the weights in this model.

  • you sound as if you don't know what to say next and sometimes ur like mumbling so its hard to hear what yo uare saying but anyway, great review and can you review the Cyborg R.A.T 7? ^^ Keep up the good work

  • Is this mouse better then Razer Imperator?

  • 6000 dpi? Rediculously good! I'm buying one of the best gaming mouses out there is 3 weeks. ATM I'm using a Packard Bell shit ass mouse and a fucked up mouse pad. And a packard bell keyboard. I'm buying the kone +, roccat sense and sidewinder x6

  • It's almost perfect, the only not so good thing is that the coating doesnt match steelseries coating. It fall of after a month of normal use

  • Looks nice but sleeved cables should really be standard in expensive gaming mice like these.

  • Does it have positive acceleration ? It uses the avago adsn 9500 it shoud have.

  • Does the Kova + have onboard memory? Can I unplug it and it hold the button config I've programmed in it? Where can I buy it in the USA?

  • @GLENN37216 roccat .o r g /Products/

  • Did you know this video is acutally featured on the roccat website?

  • The mouse is fab, expensive but worth it

  • 10's version of MX518.

  • This makes Razer look like it's bitch!

  • I really dony understand why you why you would use a lower dpi. Just set it at the maximum and turn down the sensitivity =\

  • One of the best hardware reviews I've ever seen!!! Complete and accurate!!! Thanks!

  • "DPI UP"!!! Sounds both comical and cringeworthy though the idea is a fairly sensible one, I think the implementation is a bit off :P

    Great review though, very detailed - Cheers for the video :)

  • Hey how can i get the magnets out of the mouse?

    i ve but them all in but now i cant get them out with my fingers

    please send me a personal message if you can help me

  • This is so much cheaper and better than the razer mamba

  • thanks for the very nice review! i have a question. can you turn easyshift off? i prefer to have two normal side buttons, just like on my deathadder.

  • @asymmetricknight You certainly can. You just need to go into the button assignment on the ROCCAT software and for button 5 just change the option from EasyShift to whatever you want to assign.

  • @VortezReviews yeah i thought so. thanks!

  • i like the kova more because it looks so much cooler and it fits my hand like a glove :)

  • @Netoxifyed Are you Robocop?

  • no i will try, but why are they so hard to remove??

  • how do i get the weight's out of the mouse again, i can't get them out they are like stuck in there

  • @nagels6 They can be tricky to remove @ times. Have you tried with a pair of tweezers?

  • @nagels6 I have the same problem. I WANT A SOLUTION DAMN IT!

  • @nagels6 pliers

  • how come i didnt got the driver CD? i only had an instruction how to download the driver?

  • @nagels6 Try using a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench.

  • I just bought a Steelseries Xai (very happy with it) but this really looks like a good mouse

  • vlefteris the g700 is a good mouse but the quality is not good. I have both and the roccat has more grip. Its more handly. And the kone + has got light the g700 not. Really: I love this lights.

  • Comment removed

  • @vlefteris stfu for once!

  • @vlefteris and we love your professionalism....posting a huge rant on one of our videos and swearing your head off. Sorry to hear of your misfortune with the Kone+ but please kindly take your thoughts to a forum...

  • @vlefteris well retard if u love ur g700 then go and fuck ur g700 i dont give a shit about it ......however ROCCAT pwns and thanks for review nice job

  • @vlefteris i wonder how the placement can be better?, and the sensor on the kone + is way better, it got the higest dpi on the market, so please dont call kone + a crappy mouse because u like G700 so much,

  • I have a big problem with this mouse. In the Windows menu, the sensitivity is great. When Im playing games like CS 1.6 or COD the sensitivity is great. But when im playing GTA4 or Mafia 2, the sensitivity is very high. Can you help me how to solve this problem ? my old logitech mouse doent have this problem. Thanks :)

  • @sysel777 When you say in the Windows Menu - do you mean the ROCCAT software? If you haven't installed the software go ahead and do this. Otherwise, have you got any other mouse driver software installed on the system that may be conflicting perhaps? (you mentioned a previous Logitech mouse)

  • @VortezReviews Windows menu......... I mean working in Windows (internet, photoshop, ...).

    I have installed the software by Roccat, and I dont have any other mouse driver...

  • @sysel777

    That's because they require a lot from your pc , put the settings down a bit and you will see the difference

  • does it exist to righthand :'O?

  • @arsicifyable ehm it is only for right hand?

  • @fixbam1991 oh, but it looks like its for left hand xD ¨'

    - ty

  • If this mouse costs $115 USD to purchase in my area do you think its worth getting?

  • @Kevin9488 $115 for a mouse? Don't be fucking daft, get a Logitexh MX518 or something.

  • @Kevin9488 That's a lot of cash!! Is that the cheapest you can get it? Over in the UK we can get it for approx $80. Try and find it cheaper! 

  • @VortezReviews Are you sure you meant $80 USD? The cheapest I found was 70 GBP. which converts to around $100 USD.

  • Bad news again...Wheel problem. It jumps. I scroll a page down and instantly it goes up and then down.SHIT! AGAIN!!!!!!

  • @vlefteris I just bought the Roccat Kone+ because mine has exactly the same problem .. FUCKING SHIT T_T

  • @Mizuushii I contacted Roccat and they said that it sounds like a hardware defect, meaning that maybe only MY kone+ has this wheel problem. If I scroll down or up it moves abruptly, I go down, it goes up, down,down,up.

    If anyone has this problem too please tell me so because these Roccat dickheads wont replace this FUCKING mouse! FUCK YOU ROCCAT!!!!!! FUCK OFF!!!!!!!

  • @vlefteris I hope i would not have the same problem.. T.T

    Ow, btw ; God bless you. :x

  • Comment removed

  • @vlefteris I have the same problem ! FU ROCCAT !

  • This mouse or Mionix Naos 5000?

  • @Kevin9488 Depends on where you are the Naos 5000 is priced just a little short of the Kone+. Really the Kone+ is in a totally different league. The Naos 5000 also has a different grip, its a lot wider than the Kone+ so it really depends on the style you prefer and hand size. With regards to features and quality the Kone+ is a clear winner!

  • @VortezReviews In Hong Kong, I can order Kone [+] for the same price as Naos 5000. Thanks for your advice! After hearing that, I also agree with the fact that Roccat offers more features than the Mionix. Hehe, perhaps the VortezReviews website should make that clear. I was trying to compare the two but they both sounded equally good.

    The only problem i'm having is the of warranty. I've read on somewhere that the Roccat customer service is poor in terms of warranty. How was your experience?

  • Awesome. After reading some reviews, i decided to order this mouse. And now i can't wait for it to arrive.

  • Heartbeat ftw on mouses, looks soo cool , thanks for the review :D

    

  • Where can i buy one in America?

  • Why don't they add some of these new features to the old Kone software so we can use them also. I just bought the old Kone about 2 mths ago and I see they have not released new software/drivers for exactly a year now.

    Hate it when companies stop supporting their old customers. Even my old Deathadder would have frequent firmware/driver updates 4yrs after release.

  • Very nice test man!!

  • Hey .. I have a problem when he turns on The "enable mouse acceleration" and act all calibrations and the rest after picking up a mouse in the Top running on the screen in the upper left corner. At you the same thing happens?

  • Gosh I am so buying this thing, my Copperhead is still working perfectly (Looking for a cheap and awesome gamingmouse? go with the Copperhead!), but I just HAVE to buy this piece of art. <3

  • ROCCAT FTW

  • Well, I had the old version of the Kone, the normal one, and well, its not bad, but the sensor is just weird. I mean it has some kind of "aim-helping system", its not as accurate as a "raw sensor mouse" like the Intellimouse. The customization is just amazing, but seriously, if you want pure performance, the Kone isn't the way to go. Maybe I was just unlucky, but thats how it went for me..

  • It looks awesome! If I save some more money (I want a new video card, a new PSU and a new Case first), I'll get this with the keyboard Logitech G11! :D

  • I got the Roccat Kova and i think that is an awesome mouse, but now i want this one sooo badly!"

  • @joachimekstrom got that just 2day

  • @MrFoxano Did you get the Kova?

  • I´ll try Logitech G700.

  • wow I bought Razzer Deathader but I want THIS MOUSEE

  • I want to buy it

    Where can I get it?

    I live in Croatia

    please help
