With Kain 200 AIMO, Roccat has another gaming mouse in its portfolio that is based on the Kain 100 AIMO. The casing remains unchanged – which is a good thing, because like the 100, the Kain 200 also feels very good in the hand. Especially if you prefer the so-called palm grip, i.e. resting the entire palm. The mouse wheel is relatively wide and comes with a strongly grooved surface. Directly underneath is a dpi selector switch, which is also quite large. A PixArt PMW3335 sensor works inside, which is a classic and extremely precise gaming sensor with a resolution of 16,000 dpi. This should cover demands of all kinds. Roccat has equipped the wireless mouse, which you have to connect to your end device via 2.4 GHz radio using a USB dongle, with a strong battery. However, that is also necessary because the comprehensively configurable and eye-catching RGB lighting additionally sucks on the battery. The mouse does not have any special ergonomic features, but you can also use it as a left-hander. Only the thumb keys on the left side are really annoying.

At around 85 $, the Kova AIMO is in the mid-range price range. It might be suitable for you if you do not want to invest too much money, but still have a preference for complex configuration options and like to fiddle around with settings. The sensor is beyond reproach: As usual in the price range, the mouse responds optimally to your movements and does not falsify inputs. The software is very comprehensive, but not easy to understand right away – so you have to allow for some time to get used to it. The case makes a stable impression and is shaped in such a way that you can comfortably play with the Kova AIMO even as a left-hander. The sheathed cable, which is at least moderately protected from breakage, is also pleasing.

Roccat has really hit the bull’s eye with the Burst Pro. The trendy honeycomb look, which is a consequence of the strong weight reduction of current e-sport mice, is perfected with a transparent plastic coating. Thus, the mouse remains easy to clean and the honeycombs, which are illuminated by RGB LEDs, are still shown to advantage. Lighting, sensitivity, buttons and co. are configured with a lightweight software that hardly requires any resources from the computer. The handling is comfortable for righties. Lefties miss thumb keys on the right side of the case. Speaking of thumb keys: They don’t really fit into the case’s high-quality overall look. Apart from that, the mouse looks impeccable and the sheathed cable as well as the additional replacement mouse glides inspire confidence in the product’s longevity. The sensor is impeccable, as with most gaming mice starting in the mid-price range around 50 $: No delays, no smoothing and a low liftoff distance ensure maximum precision.

It’s not just games that are getting new editions lately, but popular gaming peripherals as well. After Logitech’s revival of the MX 518, Roccat is now trying to revamp a classic from 2017. Compared to the original Kone AIMO, the new AIMO offers a refreshed look with more different lighting zones and a new coating for the thumb rest. There’s also a new sensor that now offers a maximum of 16,000 DPI – but that shouldn’t make a difference over its predecessor in real-world use. The many buttons can be configured in detail with the corresponding software, just like the light zones. Adjusting the weight is still not possible. However, the mouse is comparatively heavy anyway in view of the current trend towards ever lighter gaming mice. If you already use the old Roccat Kone AIMO, the upgrade is not particularly worthwhile. Apart from that, however, it is an affordable and technically as well as ergonomically strong gaming device.

The review of the Roccat Kone Pro Air proves that it is a thoroughly solid gaming mouse: The shape is pleasant, the hardware is top-notch and the battery life is above average. However, it cannot really stand out from the competitors in the price range of currently around 100 $, which sometimes offer a bit more or take a different approach. You definitely won’t do anything wrong with the mouse, but the model lacks that certain something to push it to the top. What really bothered us, though: the lack of a DPI switch.
