Turtle Beach Kone XP Air Wireless RGB Gaming Mouse for PC

I am a long time user of the Logitech G700s and the G604. I never want to use another mouse, but they are getting more and more expensive to find on ebay, refurbished etc.... and so for years I have had a long term search for a potential replacement. I looked at this mouse many times when it was made under Roccat. Recently, when my G604 began having sticky clicking issues again, I knew it was time to at least try this mouse out. I've only had this mouse for a few days, but will update if this changes. Out of the box I found it very comfortable in my hand and familiar to the grip of the Logitech mice. Initially, I had a lot of trouble with the setup and almost returned it within the first 30 minutes. I connected the mouse via Bluetooth and I found I couldn't access any of the customization options in the Swarm II software. Several YouTube videos later, I decided to try the USB dongle connection - this instantly unlocked all of the customization options in the software. I have not switched back to bluetooth yet to see if the USB connection is necessary for this to stay in place. I prefer Bluetooth since computers have fewer and fewer USB ports. Once I was able to customize the mouse - learning that the 'Hot Key' and not 'Macro' option was a better setting for my needs (I just want to be able to click a button and have something specific happen, usually tied to a keystroke) It took some experimenting but I think I have it the way I like it. The switches feel much better on this mouse - I know the quality of them is higher than Logitech which is why those mice keep dying. I do find the side switches on the scroll wheel to be a little stiffer and require more force to wheel click left and right - but this is likely only an issue for some people. If you are a die hard Logitech G700 or G604 lover and are searching for a future alternative, I would consider this a very reasonable alternative. The form and function are similar enough. I wish it had 6 side buttons instead of 4. I still haven't put the side 'shift' button to the test and while I appreciate the expanded functions, I'm not convinced it will be useful for my work or play style. I don't want to have to think about what mode I'm in or what a button will do now. Like many people, I rely on muscle memory. I still hold out hope that Logitech will someday recreate these mice with the quality they deserve. The number of used, refurbished mice from those models and they prices they sell for should tell Logitech that there is a group of consumers with very strong preferences for those mice and features. MMO keypads and 20 buttons on the side does not work for me. My thumb doesn't have time or energy for that many blind buttons to navigate. I am hopeful that this mouse will last longer than Logitech does for me, and I am pleased that after years of searching, I have found something close.

Got this on sale for $65 and at that price it’s a 5 star buy. The looks, feel, battery life and added bonus of a dock to me justify the price and make it a pretty darn good value. The software is really finicky when updating/binding macros to keys so you have to kind of be patient and it’s so far the only frustrating part of the experience. I’m impressed enough to recommend it, although I’d probably just go with the Logitech G 502 x lightspeed if this was at the full $130 price.

First off, this mouse is a dream to utilize. The shape is fantastic, the weight is light, the skates move quickly. Definitely the nicest mouse to use I've tried. On the downside, the battery life is abysmal, something like 2-3 days of light/moderate use. I don't think it "sleeps" at all when you're not using it. It lacks a scroll wheel lock (so you can never freespin). And it while it worked with some PCs through a USB switch, it didn't work with my new work laptop. Support basically shrugged and said "we can't test it with everything" but my Basilisk Pro works fine. I like the Kone XP Air better than the Basilisk, but I'm keeping the Razer just because of better compatibility and battery life. For 99% of people I think the battery life on the XP Air will be the make or break decision.

RGB on, using the USB Dongle connection, it does not not get more than 10 hours of battery life. Terrible value for the money, the software is incredibly clunky and just feels like no thought to consume navigation went into it. She shape is nice, accuracy is nice, its super light weight, but man it feels like the should have added more battery cells or something. ALSO if you are getting this for the RGB, be prepaired for it not being smooth at all.

This has slowly become one of my favorite mice. I use this for everyday use and gaming. Mostly for gaming. This mouse gives me a ton of button options. It has great light effects and the ability to switch from wired to wireless seamlessly. The charging dock has its weird moments with loss of connection when I switch from wired to wireless, but it's probably a software or user issue. In some cases, I lose the ability to "click" things after I disconnect from wired to wireless (using the dock). A simple sign out of my window fixes this issue. This mouse is amazing if you play MMO, FPS, or RPG games with its many button options.

Mycket trevlig mus men mjukvaran är lite ostabil så spara alla inställningar till backup så det är lätt att återställa då dessa försvinner emellanåt utan anledning

I am alright with the weight, shape is nice, hope the software would improve in the future.
