    Interesting. I had never heard of this company before this thread.

    I'm in the market for a good wireless mouse and their Pyra Wirelss looks PERFECT for my needs. How is there quality compared to Logitech?

    Sorry, don't mean to derail the thread!

    That mouse looks great in the video. Can't wait to see the review!

    Yea I like the pyra too but recently got logitech g700 instead. If you live in the US, since roccat is a euro business based in germany its not as easy getting there products. The last I checked the pyra wireless was 120 dollars and for that mouse is to much. Still if it suits you there are no other micro usb wirelss gaming mice except the g700 then the pyra is a good alternative.

    I have tried Roccat Pyra Wireless before but I'm not really a fan of it as the battery life is quite poor. This new Roccat Kova [+] is better than Pyra IMHO. :D

    If I compared it to my Logitech G700, I still prefer Logitech G700. Just me preference though.

    Roccat is a great company. They do listen to consumers + feedback and fix issues with firmware updates or hardware revisions.

    I got the Kone + a few days ago and it´s the best mouse ever.

    If you dont mind me asking, do you live in the US? And if so where did you buy it from and how much was it? I'm looking at getting the Kone+, but cant find anywhere to buy it.

    You can buy that mouse from Performacne PCs, which is the only US-based retailer that sells Roccat products. I've never ordered from them, but they seem to get positive feedback from Resellerratings.
