Hamburg, September 23, 2010 – ROCCAT, the young Hamburg-based manufacturer of gaming
peripherals, releases the new ROCCAT™ Kone[+] – Max Customization Gaming Mouse today.
The ROCCAT™ Kone[+] is more than the sum of its parts. The successor to the award-winning Kone is the
result of many years’ experience in engineering and industrial design, plus extensive feedback from the
gaming community. Never before have perfectly formed design and high-performance technology been so
closely intertwined. A clear focus on gamers’ needs has given rise to a mouse that is packed with unique
innovations and an unprecedented range of customizable configuration options.
tune the sensor to suit the Mousepad for optimal tracking.
In addition, really efficient core improvements to the mouse wheel and surrounding buttons increase the ease of use of the new Kone[+].
The introduction of the EasyShift[+] Button makes it possible to assign two functions to each button, like using the Shift key on a keyboard. For instance, the eight programmable buttons plus the mouse wheel can now directly trigger an unparalleled 22 mouse functions – with all the buttons remaining easily accessible. A second button can be used for the EasyAim function. While the EasyAim button is held depressed, a preselected DPI setting is automatically switched to – really useful in situations such as when precise in-game aiming is called for, where lower DPI settings are quickly required. It really lives up to its name. The EasyWheel function works in the same way and can be used to control the Aero Flip 3D feature in Windows 7, among other things.
The feature-rich driver has been further enhanced with additional innovative functions making it possible to customize the mouse to suit individual needs like no other mouse. The light system remains unbeaten. Four Multicolor LEDs, together with the enhanced lightpipes and configurable effects, can light up, alternate or pulsate in more than four different colors at the same time.
It’s a real eye-catcher on any desktop!
The accompanying Macro Manager makes creating custom command sequences really easy. Predefined Macro Presets for the top 20 PC games as well as several office apps make it even easier to customize the mouse – plus the new Loop Function now makes it possible to loop macros indefinitely.
All the settings can be saved in five Game Profiles on the mouse’s 576kB of onboard memory, and linked to games and apps, allowing button configurations, lighting set-ups and DPI settings, etc., to be automatically loaded when the game is started. A Windows Profile then automatically switches the Kone[+] back to the previously selected default setting as soon as the game is exited.
On top of that, there’s the unique Sound Feedback system. The famous ROCCAT voice gives immediate feedback when DPI settings, profiles, the volume level or the sensitivity setting is changed.
Furthermore, a Weight System comprising 4 x 5g weights is included, allowing gamers to customize the eight to suit their preferences.
The ROCCAT™ Kone[+] – Max Customization Gaming Mouse is now available in Germany, Switzerland, UK, France, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Further countries will follow shortly. The MSRP is €79.99.
