Roccat has introduced the Kone XP

Roccat has unveiled the Kone XP, the direct successor to the Kone AIMO Remastered, into which the makers are believed to have poured all of their experience gained since the original Kone's release in 2007.

Fortunately, this includes not only the outside, which is brighter than competitors' goods (due to the translucent housing and the tiltable Krystal 4D imagined roller acting as a diffuser for the 22 RGB LEDs inside the cover) but also well-chosen technology. We're discussing a component mouse.

The Owl-Eye 19K sensor, for example, is partly self-developed but mostly based on PixArt's optical sensor PAW3370, and the duty of recording clicks has been outsourced to 100c-click-certified Roccat Titan switches.

By the way, the mouse housing has a total of 15 buttons, but we only identified eleven, so the wheel was probably counted as five instead of one (scrolling down and up, pressing and tilting left and right) instead of one. The number of customizable functions can be expanded to 29, which is more than adequate for most players, thanks to Roccat's Easy-Shift [+] technology.

We'd also like to point out the support for the NVIDIA Reflex mouse, as well as the inclusion of the 1.8 m long PhantomFlex cable and PTFE mounts, the latter of which promises the maker a completely wireless experience for the novelty consumers. We can't confirm or deny this without a test, but the 104-gram weight of the 126 x 76 x 40 mm peripheral truly competes with heftier wireless options.

Lenovo's new wireless gamer mouse is expected this summer

Lenovo has developed a lot of IT-related advancements for MWC, and the smallest one isn't a heavy boy in the category, not even at the manufacturer's exhibit. The 72-gram gaming mouse, named after the Legion M600s, takes up an area of 121.77 x 61.37 x 38.3 millimeters from the user's desktop, and we're only allowed to utilize the two gadgets on the left. We're talking about a gadget with a symmetrical design when it comes to function keys.

Examining the internal parts of the mouse floating on the Teflon soles, we only know for certain that the optical sensor is a PixArt model with a resolution of 19,000 DPI and is labeled PAW 3370.

In terms of connectivity, we are dealing with a wireless input device that can also be connected to a computer via a 2.4 GHz receiver or a Bluetooth 5.0 connection, but if the 380 milliamp-hour built-in battery drains unexpectedly during a match, the included 1 meter long USB Type-C - Type-A cable allows us to continue using our mouse with an otherwise very restrained design.

Interestingly, the 70-hour battery can be charged not only with wires but also wirelessly using Qi technology, and we don't have to worry about the profusion of RGB LEDs quickly draining our new composition, as colorful light sources can only be found behind the Legion logo.

The Lenovo Legion M600s will hit store shelves in July.
