The fifth anniversary of the Kone gaming mouse is upon us

Since In Win has the case market well in hand, we can look at the activities on a different gaming hardware segment, that of peripherals. Roccat is the one releasing a means of enabling man-machine interaction.

Roccat has formally introduced the Kone Pure Color gaming mouse, a limited edition of the Kone released five years ago.

This is actually the company's way of celebrating the fifth anniversary of the device.

"Users are often inquiring about colored versions of our products. With the Kone Pure Color we finally have the opportunity to comply with their requests," explained Rene Korte, CEO and founder of ROCCAT.

The mouse has fully adjustable sensitivity, with 41 true DPI setting ranging from 200 to 8200.

The switch tech powered by Omron is another asset (Roccat Click master technology), as is the tracking and distance control unit (for less pick-up flight and more precise gaming).

Then there is the soft-touch surface (makes sure long gaming sessions stay comfortable), and we can't forget about the 32-bit Turbo Core V2 processor (very fast compute speed).

Of course, the Turbo Core processor should not be confused with the Turbo Core Technology in AMD's APU, though the purpose is similar (dynamically overclocks performance of accelerated processing units).

Not only that, but the LED light can become any one of 16.8 million colors.

"Early on, I was involved in the professional gaming scene. So, I was aware of the many professional players who were dissatisfied with their gaming devices. Since then our overall mission has been to build highquality peripherals that satisfy the needs of all ambitious gamers," Corte says.

As a final advantage over the previous-generation Kone, the 7-button Kone Pure Color is 9% smaller.

Pricing information was not included in the press release, unfortunately, but the product page has everything else of relevance. Prospective buyers can read all about the newest gaming implement at the other end of this link.
