Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kone Pro Air

ROCCAT Burst Pro Air

The ROCCAT Kone Pro Air and the ROCCAT Burst Pro Air are both lightweight, wireless gaming mice, but the Kone Pro Air performs slightly better overall. The Kone Pro Air has a more ergonomic right-handed design, and it feels better-built overall. Its click latency is significantly lower, and it's lighter than the Burst Pro Air. On the other hand, the Burst Pro Air has more independent RGB lighting zones, and it's slightly more portable as it's less bulky.
