Roccat Kone 3200dpi Gaming Mouse
Â
Software & Configuration
Â
As I mentioned previously, the Kone comes with it’s own configuration utility. In here, it is possible to manipulate all of the variables related to a mouse that you could possibly imagine. The user interface is well laid out and easy to understand, clearly split into 5 sections shown as follows.
Â
Main Control
Â
In this section, it is possible to assign the functionality of the Kone’s buttons with a long predefined list of commands including âButton OFFâ. Additionally, sensitivity, mouse wheel and scroll speed can be adjusted in small increments. Fairly standard stuff.
Â
Â
Â
Colour
Â
This is where things get a little more interesting for those that are particularly interested in the Kone’s lighting system. Here, it is possible to enable/disable the lighting, independantly assign each LED one of 38 colours and even assign a flashing pattern.
Â
Â
Â
Advanced
Â
Here lies the juicy variables. In this section, it is possible to select the polling rate of choice, sensitivity of both x and y axis, mouse acceleration and windows pointer speed. Finally, this is where profiles are saved to and loaded from.
Â
Â
Â
Update
Â
This tab will scan your mouse to find it’s current firmware version and see if there are any updates available. If there are, it will take you to Roccat’s download section of their website.

Various attempts to try and crash the program by means of repeatedly changing settings, loading and saving profiles were unsuccessful. The application was stable and applied settings to the mouse fairly quickly. With a memory usage of just 10MB, it’s hardly going to slow your system down either!
