Our Verdict
ROCCAT Kone Pro
ROCCAT Kone XP
The ROCCAT Kone Pro and the ROCCAT Kone XP have the same sensors and very similar shapes but are designed for different uses. The Kone Pro is significantly lighter and has somewhat lower click latency. It's designed primarily for FPS gaming. On the other hand, the ROCCAT Kone XP has many more programmable buttons, making it a more suitable choice for a variety of game genres, including MOBA, Battle Royale, and MMO games. It also has much more extensive RGB lighting options.
