Our Verdict
ROCCAT Kone XP
ROCCAT Kone XP Air
The ROCCAT Kone XP Air is a wireless version of the ROCCAT Kone XP. These are multi-genre gaming mice with plenty of programmable inputs, making them good choices for more complex titles like MMOs or MOBAS. The Kone XP Air has a more opaque plastic finish and includes a charging dock that serves as a wireless extender. It also has more RGB lighting zones, and the location of the RGB has largely been moved into the palm rest rather than the left- and right-click buttons where it is on the wired Kone XP.
