Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO

ROCCAT Kone Pro

The ROCCAT Kone Pro is a better gaming mouse than the ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO. The Kone Pro is lighter, and it has better build quality, a much more flexible cable, and smoother-gliding mouse feet. Also, it has lower latency and a higher maximum CPI. On the other hand, the Kain 120 AIMO has more RGB zones and a CPI-switching button below the scroll wheel. Both mice are suitable with any grip type, but people with extra-large hands may prefer the Kone Pro for a palm grip, and people with small hands may prefer the Kain 120 AIMO for a claw or fingertip grip.
