Great Accuracy, Medium Durability
I originally bought this mouse with low expectations, since my Logitech mouse was having double-click issues. This mouse has an optical switch, so double click should theoretically never be a problem, and hasn't for the 4 months I've been using this mouse.The software comes with an adjustable debounce time, so it's definitely possible to purposefully double-click with this mouse to get high CPS.The weaknesses of this mouse definitely include the scroll wheel. It gets the job done, but can feel just a little flimsy at times (though I might just be spoiled coming from the G502 scroll wheel). There's also no left and right scrolling, which isn't a huge issue most of the time but is a nice to have that I sometimes miss when using Excel.The pads also have very poor durability, in only 4 months of use a significant portion of the pads have been scraped away. Although, the upside is that the wear of the pads have not really changed the feel or accuracy of the mouse too much for me. The mouse came with replacement pads as well, though I haven't tried replacing any of the pads as of yet.Overall, this mouse was a really nice surprise for me. It's accurate, comes with optical switches, has software that's pretty lightweight and non-intrusive but feature-full, and is really cheap to boot. The downsides of poor pad durability and scroll wheel feel aren't nearly enough to outweigh the positives of this mouse. I don't think there's a better mouse on the market at its price. Would highly recommend!

Great Mouse
The Kone Pro Air is a great mouse. I upgraded from the wired Kone Pure Ultra. The Pro Air retains a very similar ergo shape with the thumb groove on the side, the large side buttons, and the superb mouse wheel.Since the shape was so similar, adapting was pretty easy, and the best part is that I'm no longer fighting the wire.In a lot of mouse or peripheral reviews in general, the writer will say something like "Will this thing make you a better player? No!"However, in the case of the Kone Pro Air, I do think it has made me better. I just got out of a Modern Warfare 3 2-hour session of Shipment/Rust and I can perceptibly feel that my tracking and flicking has gotten faster, smoother, and more accurate. You really don't understand how much a mouse wire can bog you down until you go without one for a few weeks. And I had been using a mouse bungee too. I held out on buying a wireless mouse because I was always skeptical of latency, but this mouse is IMMEDIATE over a 2.4ghz WiFi network.Lighting is a little understated as it only shows up under the two main mouse buttons instead of around the whole mouse (like many Roccat mice), but it looks good.Only couple caveats I'll mention here are that Swarm is pretty buggy and the initial pairing process was a little cumbersome. Swarm will show the mouse charged to 100% and display "4 hours remaining." There is also no way to stop the mouse from turning the RGB off after a minute of it being idle (I made sure to turn power saving mode off). And when I got the mouse I had to do a little 20 minute song and dance or plugging the mouse in, hitting the pair button on the dongle, unplugging it, etc. Eventually I got there and I've zero problems since (and I use a KVM switch), but I thought that was worth mentioning.The Owl Eye sensor is spot on and the PTFE feet glide super smoothly over my Skypad 3.0 (glass mousepad). Roccat also includes a spare set of feet, which I thought was a nice touch.Overall, I am very pleased. If you have tried other Kone mice and want to make the jump to wireless, you should be very happy with the Kone Pro Air.

Amazing mouse, especially for Minecraft.
This mouse is amazing, it can drag, without tape. Great for butterfly clicking too it doesn't really double click though, and something wrong with scroll wheel after a month, but it's still great.

Firs - Premium mouse overall
I got the mouse early today and have used it for 5,6 hours, so this is a first impressions review that will be updated down the road.My hands are 19.5cm by 9.3cm and the Kone Pro fits me like a glove. The sides are rubberized and have a high quality feel, as does the rest of the plastics on the mouse. Overall, the build quality is pretty good, the only issue is that my copy makes a few cracking noises when squeezed around the base but it's not horrible, I just wished it was a tiny bit more sturdy.When it comes to the left and right mouse buttons - for me they are too light to click and for the first 30 minutes, I did click them by accident, but by the end of my gaming session, I kinda got used to them. They're not so light that you click them while resting your fingers on them but in my opinion they made them too light and could've been better. If that's a concern for you, then I would recommend going for something else. If you like spammable buttons, then these will be perfect.The side buttons have a bit too much travel on them but they're not horrible and are good size (unlike SS's Prime mice).Now, I know the biggest complaint for this mouse is the mouse wheel, BUT for me, this one is the best I've ever had (prevoius ones were Razer Viper(and cobra), SS rival 300, razer deathdder, coolermaster mm731 etc.). It's tactile but also easy to scroll and very quiet. The MMB is also not too hard to press but also not light enough to introduce accidental clicks while scrolling. The wheen itself is made of aluminum and feels premium. I don't know how the encoder will hold up(I will update the review the moment it goes bad), but if it brakes soon, that will be a damn shame because it's an amazing scroll wheel.There're two versions of the Swarm software and it seems like the second one is buggy, so I managed the find the first version from reddit and it works normally after updating it.The PTFE feet glide perfectly fine and are high quality (+ you get additional ones in the box).Having said that, if it wasn't for the cracking and the overly light buttons, I would've definitely given the kone pro a 5/5 stars. In any case, you can't go wrong with this mouse if you have medium-large hands as it's priced at 25$ currently. This makes it an even more compeling product.EDIT 4 MONTHS LATER:The mouse is holding up nicely, there's still some cracking when squeezing the mouse, but other than that, it's doing fine. The scroll wheel is still working properly!
