Hamburg, October 13, 2009 – ROCCAT™, the Hamburg-based manufacturer of professional gaming accessories, launches the ROCCAT™ KOVA PURE PERFORMANCE GAMING MOUSE – the third product from its Smart Desktop Management System (SDMS). Equipped with a 3200dpi optical sensor, the high-performance mouse zips over almost any desktop like a sports car. Thanks to the unique V-shape, which allows the mouse to fit ergonomically into any shaped hand, the ROCCAT™ Kova makes an impressive impact with its sporty ergo- stealth-look. Fine-tuned for pure performance, the mouse’s color and resolution can be customized to suit individual preferences at the press of a button – with no need to use additional software. First-person shooter gamers in particular will find everything they’re looking for – the exceptionally responsive and precise tracking, low-weight and high-quality finish make the ROCCAT™ Kova a first-class FPS and RTS mouse.
3200DPI PRO-OPTIC GAMING SENSOR
The extremely high-performance optical sensor in the ROCCAT™ Kova has been specially
developed for gaming – and FPS gamers in particular. It offers the highest precision tracking
on almost any surface at a resolution of up to 3200dpi. What’s more, the optical sensor’s
technology reduces the dreaded pick-up-flight problem to a minimum. That’s why optical
sensors of this type have been very popular among gamers for years now. The ROCCAT™
Kova is especially effective when used in conjunction with the ROCCAT™ Sota Granular
Gaming Mousepad which features an integrated metal film – a highly reflective layer that
delivers faultless tracking. Even with up to 20Gs of acceleration, faultless tracking is ensured
in any gaming situation – and mouse movements are transmitted with no delay.
ERGONOMIC V-SHAPE
The compact ROCCAT™ Kova makes an impressive impact, simultaneously combining a
sporty stealth-look with the best possible ergonomics. The unique V-shape, with its raised
ridge on the top of the mouse which is designed to fit into the palm of the hand,
accommodates almost any hand shape or size – regardless of whether it’s the left or the
right.
GRIPTECH SIDE GRIPS
The mousewheel, with its distinct notch positions, features a hardwearing rubberized coating.
In addition, the ROCCAT™ Kova has Griptech side grips, the rubberized areas of which offer
optimum hold and comfort and which guarantee total slip-resistance and the ultimate in grip.
As a result, the mouse remains securely in the hand, fitting like a glove, even in heated
gaming situations.
MULTI-COLORED LIGHTING
Just like the prize-winning Kone Max Customization Gaming Mouse, ROCCAT™ has also
kitted out the Kova with a fully customizable lighting system. The multi-colored LEDs are
easily adjusted just by pressing specific button combinations. This allows a variety of colors
to be selected, which can then be configured to light-up, rotate or pulse slowly in ‘breathing
mode’. The impressive light effects will cast an atmospheric aura on any desktop.
DRIVERLESS CONFIGURATION AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON
As there’s no need to install any software, the ROCCAT™ Kova can simply be plugged into
the PC or Mac and used straight away. Its 5(+2) buttons come preset with the most popular
functions – and they can be individually configured simply by pressing different button
combinations. For instance, the mouse’s DPI setting as well as the lighting can be configured
at the press of a button – and it’s just as easy to switch between left and right-handed mode.
DPI-CHANGE FEEDBACK
The multi-colored LEDs also help indicate the DPI setting. The ROCCAT™ Kova features a
four-step resolution setting of 400, 800, 1600 and 3200dpi. The mouse provides direct
feedback when switching between these steps and confirms the setting change by flashing
twice in a specific color.
ROCCAT™ SDMS
With the ROCCAT™ Smart Desktop Management System (SDMS), the Studios are
presenting an innovative concept which allows the typical gamer desktop to be organized
perfectly. SDMS products are a byword for pure performance coupled with unique
functionality and an ingenious, aggressively-angular and at the same time simple design.
The range of perfectly coordinated accessories comprises four components, each available
separately, but which make an unbeatable set when put together.
ROCCAT™ SDMS components that are already available include the ROCCAT™ Apuri
Active USB Hub with Mouse Bungee as well as the ROCCAT™ Sota Granular Gaming
Mousepad.
A third product has now been added to the line-up in the form of the ROCCAT™ Kova Pure
Performance Gaming Mouse. It’ll be available from retailers across Europe from the
beginning of November for the RRP of €49.99.
