Looking back at the original Kone, readers will remember the side lights and illuminated Roccat logo on the back edge of the mouse. Roccat have changed this slightly with the Kone[+]. The illuminated logo is now gone and replaced with a solid printed logo, this certainly gives the mouse a more quality overall look.

The Kone[+] is designed for both left and right handed users and although the button positions are fixed this should not be too much of an issue to those left-handers out there.  As with the vast majority of mice on the market these days the Kone[+] comes with the obligatory 2 buttons on the left hand side, the rear of these buttons comes mapped by default to the EasyShift[+] function, giving access to numerous other functions. Another quality feature is the coating on the mouse itself, this is a rubberized coating that not only looks very nice, but also lends itself very well to giving a good grip without feeling soft.

At the business end of the mouse are the ‘on the fly’ DPI switching buttons, which incidentally can be accompanied by an audio notification if the user so wishes. In front of these buttons you have the 4D scroll wheel which enables you to not only scroll up and down, but also left and right. The scroll wheel also has a solid click this time around rather than the smooth scroll of the original Kone, this should help gamers with weapon selection amongst other things. In front of the wheel is another button, which again can be mapped using the included software, more on this later.

Flipping the mouse onto its back you can see the 6000 DPI laser sensor along with the area for the included weights. The weighting system in the Kone[+] consists of four 5g weights locked in place by a solid cover, this is another improvement on the original Kone which had four weights ranging from 5g upto 20g that clipped in place and did have a tendency to pop out if you were heavy handed with the mouse.

The Kone[+] weights come in their own funky little box, another bit of quality presentation from Roccat, further emphasizing the attention to detail. One last thing, just to tip the presentation over the edge, the USB plug is even printed with the Roccat logo.
