Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO

ROCCAT Kone Pure Ultra

The ROCCAT Kone Pure Ultra is overall a better gaming mouse than the ROCCAT Kain 100 AIMO. The Kone Pure Ultra is lighter, and it has a better build quality, one more programmable button, and a slightly more consistent sensor. On the other hand, the Kain 120 AIMO has a more flexible cable. Both mice are suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type, but people with small hands may prefer the Kain 120 AIMO for a fingertip grip. Unfortunately, neither mouse is suitable with a palm grip for extra-large hands.
