Roccat ROC-11-200-AS Kova Pure Performace 3200DPI PRO-OPTIC Sensor Gaming Mouse - 5 Mouse Buttons
Cons:Absolutely none
Pros:- Driverless;- Quality build;- Red/Green/Blue LEDs, can be mixed, can change the "breathing" of the LEDs;- Perfectly fit for lefties- Package content full of surprises! Comment:
FINALLY A LEFTY GAMING MOUSE!Guys this mouse is a wonder. I've been through various lefty mouses but this one sets the bar way above them all. If you like bling, this mouse got three color LEDs lights which can mixed to create various shades of colors. You can also adjust the illumination and how the light is shown (eg. permanently on, slowly flashing on/off, etc...). It is also a driverless mouse so you don't have to download a 100meg driver package and wait forever before you can try the advanced features of the mouse. The How-tos are included in the package which I must say, really got me thrown out of my chair! |
This mouse seems to do almost everything very well, except that if you like to reposition it occasionally, you'll have to lift it 10-12mm from the pad. It isn't going to be a problem for everyone, since the dpi is high enough to not require many lifts, but if you're like me, and habitually reposition the mouse whenever you have a brief moment free, it might be a dealbreaker. For comparison my old 1st gen razer diamondback would only require 1-2mm of lift to disengage.Another thing that may annoy some people are the choice of colours on the LED. You have the 3 primary colours, the 3 2 colour blends, and white, for a total of 7. In theory:RedYellowGreenCyanBluePurpleWhiteUnfortunately, they haven't properly balanced the brightnesses of the leds, so the reality is:RedYellowish GreenGreenslighly cyan-ish BlueBlueeye-screwing bluish Purplepale, whitish blueI don't really care that much about the colours, but as someone who knows a thing or two about LEDs, It just seems a little lame to me not to choose some resistor values which would give you a nice yellow, cyan, white, and purple (Purple will always trip-out your eyes though, even if it is nicely balanced)Overall, if you use a fingertip (claw) grip and don't frequently reposition your mouse, this is probably a tough mouse to beat.If you do lift your mouse at all during gameplay, I suggest finding a different mouse. This one will frustrate you.
