The amount of buttons (6 extra) are perfect for people like me that set it for inventory/skills keybinds. I always set the extra buttons for those in games like in Apex, Fortnite, Valorant, Minecraft, etc, since a lot of games nowadays have a lot of keybinds which, in my opinion, can make your fingers on the keyboard a little bit tangled.
Awesome video my guy, been watching your vids for like a year but for some reason this is like my second comment on your channel. Mouse seems to really be a great bang for the buck and the fact that Roccat put a AR filter on the box is genius! They really doing some great stuff out there.
beautiful mouse to play mmorpg, lost ark or new world, it seems super comfortable and with the perfect weight, I don't like ultralight mice. Excelent review as always!
The versatility of the mouse and the capabilities are incredible. Having so many profiles you can change up everything about this mouse for every use case. My only concern is they better keep making it because this will become a requirement for every mouse going forward and....this is like the only one capable of this right now.
I use it for CAD on workstations I cannot install software so the macro function on internal memory is the best for me. A wireless would be cool and my go to mouse I think.
Just ordered this. I like how the buttons aren't all in one big number pad like other mice with many buttons usually for mmos. They are spread out. With the others I feel like I would click the wrong button. Its like 12 buttons in one big square. Hope it's as good as the reviews
Just purchased the air model for 130 Euros, by far my priziest mouse in my life so far, but hearing you praising it so high makes me forget about that, can not wait to took my WoW PVP gameplay to the next level.
Honestly nervous about buying another roccat mouse, my last two mice from them (Kone Remastered) have had major issues - both mouse wheels became erratic with days, and both developed double left clicks soon after. This mouse needs to last longer than a few months otherwise that's it for me.
Hi, thanks for the review video! Are there 'minimize active window' (Win + Down Button) and 'close active window' (ALt+F4) assignments supported as predefined function at Roccat Swarm program? Can any of side buttons assigned like that? If it is not predefined as a command, is it possible to assign these functions as macros to specific keys? I am asking because Razer Basilisk V3 is not supporting 'minimize active window' function in preset functions and it is also not possible to assign a macro for 'Win + Down Button' combo. I wonder if this is also a problem for Kone XP. Can you confirm? Thanks in advance.
Man I ONLY buy mice with this many buttons. It always surprises me how many people don’t do it but I map all of those buttons so that my left/keyboard hand only handles movement and the right hand takes care of everything else (grenades, abilities etc) so that I never have to quit moving while activating those commands.
Definitely a nice mouse if you want something a little chunkier with more buttons. If the G502 had a family tree, this, and the Basilisk would be on some branches.
I love Roccat's MMO mouse, the Leadr, and I always think if it has the shape of Kone Pro that would be great. And guess what, now we have Kone XP. Also about the price for Roccat products. I've seen their price drop a lot (like 50% or more) after like one year since they are released. If you can wait, they are absolutely worth it when their price drop
I have my eye son this since i got the Roccat Kone pro now. The kone pro has some high click noises compared to ther mice. What about the xp ? Does makes less click noise than the Pro ?
this might be the replacement for my trusty steelseries rival 500 which has the perfect thumbbutton placement plus it had an second button at the rightclick. basically the perfect mouse. but it gets old, and i need a new one. i should have bought 3 of them.
This looks like a Super Custom mouse Complete custom RGB It looks like a G502 with RGB with the amount of side buttons it looks great Personally I'm gonna try and get the Puslefire haste wireless but it does look like a very interesting mouse great review as usual 👌
this seems like roccat's version of the g502. Good for both casual gaming and browsing the internet or work. i don't use the g502 for gaming anymore but ill always big fan of the shape
Are the 4 sides buttons practical to use / all have keybinds assigned to at the same time? That's been my only concern with it. I recently got a Kone Pro which really had me looking forward to the XP, especially as I'm finding the Kone Pro to be too light!
It looks very clean but at 104 grams that's a no go for me. I've been spoiled by finalmouse and gwolves and anything over 70 is just way too heavy to aim with for me
remove the lighning guides from the inside and you have a 83g mouse easily. just remove the top and bottom glide pads and screw the top off then remove the 2 screws of the light guides and remove them.
Best mouse I've ever had. From feel and performance to great software. 5 out 5 to ROCCAT KONE XP. And what goes for buttons, I would use 2 more if you ask me. Depends what you play and how.
In case any of you are wondering, this mouse is a banger for MC. Not everyone plays Minecraft, but in case you do, you can buy this and not regret it. I watch Bedless Noob and he suggests it lol
I’d be more interested if it were wireless, but the battery life may suffer with all that RGB. I’ll wait til this goes on sale and pick one up anyway, but at $80 and with hundreds of other mice in my collection, I can be patient. :)
I'm astounded by how many mouse reviewers just like, ignore extra buttons. It seems like most "mouse fanatics" are just FPS players who don't know what the other buttons are for. If you play lots of genres of game (action RPG, MMO, shooters, etc) it's so nice to have more than 1 or 2 side buttons. I think people just don't get it and don't think creatively with how to assign oft-used keyboard functions to the mouse. Most mouse reviews are about 1) weight and 2) how the clicks sound. Which is the last thing I care about 😂 Anyways thanks for the review, I think I'm getting this one since my Roccat Leadr started malfunctioning and it is discontinued (best mouse of all time BTW).
I have the Hyper X Pulsfire Raid, has a similar button lay out to this mouse except the two buttons on the left click, however the software is hyper x software is complete garbage. This might be the upgrade I am looking for, has the perfect amount of buttons and I have seen the software before and it seems like its way better than what hyper x has right now.
So i bought this horrible mouse and it ruined my gaming experience...The sensor feels off..like a sling shot or something..all my aims was off and i died in every game i play. Compares to the kone pro that has a sturdy and calm sensor then the xp is horrible..it feels like the sensor is drunk...Im gona send it back and keep the kone pro.
Bottom line Is these mice are very similar to the G502... don't get me wrong I'm considering buying this product.... Now if logitech was able to make the G502 with a sub 80g weight... I think it would literally break the Internet... I think there's a reason why the G5 02 is such an attractive device... it fits almost in the Goldilocks zone of every attribute that's important on a mouse... The G5 02 ways in it what 120 g or 130 g... if they were able to shave off 40 or 50 g by either making a skeletal frame or making a honeycomb design... i'm surprised somebody hasn't used AutoCAD and 3-D printed a brand new series of shells with the sole purpose to reduce the initial weight..🤦♂️
if don't use the big side button neither the two top side buttons then you are just saying this mouse is just not worth it. No one is gonna use those buttons because of they're placement.
I personally use the Kone Pro Air after Mr Techne’s very encouraging review 🥰😜 I managed to score it soon after his review for 1/2 price here in Australia 🇦🇺 😇🤩 And it’s an awesome mouse to use. This RGB version would be no exception! Wireless would be 🤯🤯🤯🤯! However the RGB would kill the mouse in minutes 😜!
If you don’t know what switches are in the mouse and your doing a mouse review Why wouldn’t you pop the mouse open quick ? And 80$ for this mouse isn’t justified by the amount of buttons it has I can buy a 30$ mouse with 32 buttons on Amazon
sure, but not with the quality build, and as cosmetic as it is, the innovative rgb, while still keeping it nice and balanced. but heck we can also say, we can get a budget GPX or VPU on amazon.
From my experience with three Roccat mice, theyr quality is very low, and customer aupport is the worst. I will never buy any of theyr products, so for me this video is a skip.
@@TheTechne you should take a look at the Roccat subreddit and amzaon reviews. It's full will with complaints about the quality of the mice. Most of the mice run into double clicking and scroll wheel issues after a few weeks/months of normal usage. I already had to get my kone aimo remastered replaced two times by Amazon within a year and the thrid model is behaving weird again.

I need this mouse :) thank you for the review...was waiting your take on it.
that lighting is so nice. it looks like glowing embers, pretty sophisticated.

Looks like it could be a decent option for someone looking for something similar to the G502 are Basilisk.

Use this everyday for FPS games PNLY. I rarely ever use the burst pro or my kone pro. This mouse just works and goddamnit works good.

hope they make a wireless version , reminds me of the Logitech g700 I think
agree

you can program them like u want and also deactivaten each one. all buttons, except the profile button are essy to reach without regripping.
@@PALbub Ooh dope to hear, thanks! I'll prolly keep an eye out for when it comes down in price!
It looks very clean but at 104 grams that's a no go for me. I've been spoiled by finalmouse and gwolves and anything over 70 is just way too heavy to aim with for me
yeah, but I don't think this is is the same class as a finalmouse/gpx
@@TheTechne it isn't no
remove the lighning guides from the inside and you have a 83g mouse easily. just remove the top and bottom glide pads and screw the top off then remove the 2 screws of the light guides and remove them.
@@PALbub looks like the guides might support the palm rest tho
Techne! I already have both the Kone Pro and the Pro Air. WHY DO I STILL WANT THE XP?!
lol, man I love Roccat mice as well
What do you think I should buy HyperX Cloud Alpha S Gaming Headset or Astro a10 generation 2 headset idk what to get someone needs to tell me
Best mouse I've ever had. From feel and performance to great software. 5 out 5 to ROCCAT KONE XP. And what goes for buttons, I would use 2 more if you ask me. Depends what you play and how.
I agree. I play FPS with it and never grab my light mice over it. This damn mouse is almost PERFECT imo
Wish the dpi button and profile change button was just one or the other. That's my issue
i wish they did 3d prroduct scan for alot of products thats dope
In case any of you are wondering, this mouse is a banger for MC. Not everyone plays Minecraft, but in case you do, you can buy this and not regret it.

just imagine a roccat releasing kone xp air
Sería fabuloso que sacaran una nueva versión del fabuloso Roccat Nyth!!!
Can you do a review about the Wooting 60HE
no plans as of now

I’d be more interested if it were wireless, but the battery life may suffer with all that RGB. I’ll wait til this goes on sale and pick one up anyway, but at $80 and with hundreds of other mice in my collection, I can be patient. :)
yeah that's a good call. I didn't even think about batter drain with all the rgb
Are we able to put a para cord on it??
didn't try, but I wouldn't see why not
The only one thing i hope they could change
Is the hecking big chunky logo.
Pls just go back to the simple word logo only.
I mix the two pronunciations, like "rock cat", and will continue to do so. This mouse looks awesome.

Not a big fan of rgb in my mouse but that looks pretty good
It's a cool looking mouse, similar value to Kone pro, cool.
Looks nice but it’s heavy, it’s expensive, wired, and using those optical clicks that most people don’t love. Looks cool though.
it oddly doesn't feel heavy (at least in my hand) well balanced and nice fit. Kinda like death adder ish
@@TheTechne I can see that. A good shape can make a mouse feel lighter. I do need a new MMO mouse so maybe with a sale it’ll be more tempting.

this shouldn't be a gaming mouse it may be good or productivity, but not for gaming.

You want to talk about a mouse with a lot of buttons? Dont forget about the razer naga trinity. That thing is absurd
At that weight they should' have make it wireless already.
Kone Pro Air review when?
already done previously
I don't even need to say how this product can obviously be improved, do I?
because of the box, now i want it,
this mouse would only be worth $90 if it was wireless and 10-20 grams less
90$ for it wireless, shewwwee that would be a steal
Sorry I'll keep my model d wireless from glorious
If you don’t know what switches are in the mouse and your doing a mouse review
