Review Text: A mouse that glides. ROCCAT continues to evolve their line of gaming accessories, with the release of the new Kona XP. In the box, you'll find the Kona mouse with a protective cap on the attached USB A cable, some extra mouse feet on a precut 3M adhesive pad, and warranty documentation. The device is plug and play, with some basic RGB cycle effect rotating between colors. The buttons for adjusting of the DPI setting also work natively out of the box, with the lowest setting being the initial default once it's recognized by Windows. If you have other ROCCAT devices being controlled by the SWARM app, you'll find the Kona settings for DPI, button assignment, and for the RGB lighting control. There was also a very quick update available, which installed within a handful of minutes using the app. Also, don't forget to remove the protective covers from the installed mouse feet to ensure you're getting the best performance while gaming. The replacements are always available if your surface is a bit abrasive; so I'd recommend using a good mouse pad. The Kona is surprisingly light and would glide across the surface with ease. Performance during gaming was flawless, with each game allowing assignment to all the side buttons. The USB cable is braided, feels premium, and also navigates around with your mouse without getting in the way. Given the lightweight of the mouse, this makes this an easy recommendation for first person shooters and casual games. This lacks any additional weights, but found the DPI settings allowed for a good calibration for most uses. Overall, this is an exceptional gaming mouse that will satisfy most gamers. For those wanting a bit more weight you may need to find an alternative. The mouse was plug and play with my Windows PC, with the ROCCAT SWARM software really helped open up the DPI settings and easily customize the RGB to fit with your other ROCCAT devices.
