Turtle Beach Kone XP Air Wireless Customizable Ergonomic RGB Gaming Mouse, Bluetooth, 19K DPI Optical Sensor, 100-hour Battery & Charging Dock, 29 Programmable Inputs & RGB Lighting, 4D Wheel – White

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.

I had to return the first one I received as it had an issue where every time it woke up, it would automatically right-click. Very weird. I exchanged it for another and the second mouse doesn't have this issue.Overall, I would say this mouse is fantastic. I've been gaming and working with Roccat Kone Pure Ultra mice for over 10 years (5 years per mouse) and the right-handed shape of these mice is just perfect for my smallish hands.I was sad to see that Roccat was bought by Turtle Beach, but decided to take a gamble and stick with the spiritual successor of my favorite mouse, the Turtle Beach Pure Air - and I'm glad I did!The form factor is still exactly the same, which is fantastic for right-handers with smallish hands. While the previous Roccat version was already pretty light, this mouse is even lighter at 54g (and even 10% lighter than the highly lauded 60g Logitech Superlight 2).This isn't my first wireless mouse, but it's my first daily driver from the wireless camp, and it works great with the little supplied dongle. Professional reviews complain about the battery life versus other mice but for me it's fine. I charge it less than once every two weeks with intensive use. The supplied USB cord is USB A to C and is a very nice, light-weight braided (Paracord?) cable, making the mouse quite comfortable to use wired if you forgot to charge it overnight.Its max polling rate is 1000Hz, both wired and wireless (with the dongle), which I'm perfectly happy with. Some high-end mice go up to 4kHz, but I find that to be far beyond the point of diminishing returns. Most gaming monitors cap-out at 144Hz, so I don't see the point of updating your mouse position 30x more often than your monitor can show you. I admittedly haven't tested the performance over Bluetooth though, but I can't think of a scenario where I'll need that.Importantly, the click on both the left and right buttons is very good, if not great. It feels like my 5 year old Roccat's clicks are just slightly more sensitive, which I like, but this could be due to age and it's a close call either way. The specs list that this mouse has optical switches for both primary mouse buttons, but I can't say if this has improved anything. They just work well. The scroll wheel is actually quite nice, with a soft, gentle stepping as you scroll instead of harsh, clicky steps or completely smooth scrolling. The extra side-buttons are fine. I haven't used them much in gaming yet, but I can't foresee any issues. The DPI-switching button is at the very front left of the mouse, which I can't reach without releasing my grip. Therefore I wouldn't be comfortable trying to quickly switch DPIs mid-game so, while I don't do this anyway, it might be something to be aware of if you do.The Swarm 2 driver software is much nicer to use than the old Roccat Swarm software, although a few minor options have gone missing such as double-click speed. Of course you can still simply set those generic settings up in Windows. Popular options are all still there, such as configuring your lift-off distance (which is set deliciously low by default), polling rate, and DPI presets. It also shows you the current charge and handles updating the mouse and dongle's firmware at a click. The only thing I'm missing is more flexible lighting options for the logo, but I'm particularly picky about the look of my setup and the options are probably sufficient for most. Also, my hand is covering that 90% of the time and after a minute or two of idle time it switches off to save power, so you hardly see the lit logo anyway. And, as a nice little bonus, the logo is completely invisible when the lighting is off! It's surprising that this is one of the only mice that was designed to be able to hide the logo entirely if you wish.With the phenomenal ergonomic form-factor, super-light weight and pleasant buttons and scroll wheel, I highly recommend this mouse over its doubly priced counter-parts. Just be sure you're not a lefty and your hands aren't too big!

Closest replacement to the much loved Logitech G604 that i've found. The sift thumb button is a little bit of a waste in my opinion, wish it was a toggle rather than a hold because then using it with the side buttons would make much more sense. battery life is awful but charges very quickly, and comes with a extremely flexible power cord that basically nulls the battery life issue. All in all if you loved the G604 the fit, size, and functionality are extremely similar.

For me, this one gives me a proper gaming gear vibe with RGB, a few extra buttons, and clicky buttons. I’m a fingertip gripper with F9 handsize, and I feel comfortable using this one.
