Our Verdict

Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

ROCCAT Kone XP Air

The ROCCAT Kone XP Air and the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED are wireless multi-genre mice with ergonomic right-handed shapes. The Logitech offers marginally better performance, software compatible with Windows and macOS, and its scroll wheel can toggle between a notched and faster free-scrolling mode. On the other hand, the ROCCAT is slightly lighter and has higher-quality mouse feet. It also has more extensive RGB lighting and includes a charging dock that acts as a wireless extender.
