Ice Leopard released a new Kone Pro series of mice, which adopts a new BIONIC SHELL hive lightweight design structure, and on this basis, it also adds Bluetooth & 2.4G wireless configuration for the first time, which is the Kone Pro Air triple mode wireless gaming mouse that this article will share. Among the first-line peripheral brands, Ice Leopard gives us the feeling that it may be a low-key brand, and this Kone Pro series definitely proves the design and product control strength of the first-line game peripheral brand, which is also one of the conclusions of this article. This year's big hot game optical engine is definitely PAWA3370 series, but also the latest performance level engine program in the original phase, Ice Leopard Kone Pro series adopts a customized PAW3371 engine throughout the line, the opening reminds everyone that the original phase of the engine program should not directly use the model number to judge its performance experience, this series of engines can be said to be the benchmark of the original phase of the new generation of performance level program. As a first-line brand, Ice Leopard and two other competitors are about the same in the lightweight gaming mouse products attach great importance to configuration and feel, while insisting on the plan of not punching holes, there should be applause here to Ice Leopard.
The opening paragraph first concludes that the Ice Leopard Kone Pro series brings excellent hand feel performance for medium and large hand users, and the roller and button feel continue the excellent tradition of Ice Leopard for many years, that is, a word "stable", if you are a small hand user or a medium hand user to grasp and pursue flexibility in the palm of the hand, maybe the Ice Leopard series is not very suitable for you.

overall
The Ice Leopard Kone Pro Air is also the ice leopard's classic fine frosted shell, medium to large size, wide tail, very suitable for the habit of lying down. The shape of this time can still see the shadow of the Kone Pure series of the year, but the structure has changed completely, the new split button right-hand ergonomic design of the shape, the new BIONIC SHELL honeycomb structure in the absence of shell punching premise now achieves lightweight, while not giving up the atmosphere light, this time The Kone Pro Air's atmosphere light is designed in front of the button, this part is also designed as a semi-transparent effect, Whether black or white, you can also see the looming hive reinforcement structure inside when the lights are not on.
The wheel is very wide, from the first generation of The Titan Wheel of the Kone Pure to the Titan Wheel Pro, in addition to emphasizing reliability and hand stability, the weight is also designed to be lighter, and the structural part will be introduced to you after the dismantling. The rolling scale is very clear, the press trigger is clear and stable, and the rebound is rapid.

The Kone Pro Air is really great for lying down, as the mouse tail is wider and the center of gravity is slightly behind, making it harder to control if the hand is smaller.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > disassembled</h1>
Mouse disassembly is quite easy, the foot sticks four screws, after unscrewing the buckle in front of the mouse, after which you can easily open the shell, the inside of the shell is without any wiring, open the shell to see the ice leopard BIONIC SHELL hive shell structure, the other is that the skeleton that should have belonged to the inside of the shell was fixed on the PCB, this design is quite novel, but if this transparent skeleton is removed, it is necessary to weld the two side keys of the micro-movement first.

Close-up of the inner shell
The hive structure of the key internal test not only ensures the stability of the structure but also achieves the lightweight of the shell. There are two snaps that can be seen on the front of the upper shell, and the shell mold is very accurate and the combination is quite stable.

Original phase PAW3371 engine
This engine base is actually PAWA3370, which belongs to the original phase performance level of the engine, and the power consumption control is also quite good. At present, the operation of the original phase is a bit confusing, but one thing can be determined, the quality of this engine is not below 3389, naming I think it is only a reference at present, in fact, it depends on the engine program itself. In addition, the PAW3371 engine has a performance mode and an energy-saving mode, which will limit the maximum movement speed and acceleration in different modes, and for the Kone Pro Air mouse, the performance mode can be switched in the drive interface. In addition, the LOD of this engine can be set to a minimum of 1mm, and the lifting tracking stability is very good.

The lighting design of the Kone Pro Air is very special, in the front of the PCB, the corresponding button part, just can transmit the honeycomb structure design. This front light may be easy for some friends to be distracted during the game, do not need to be turned off, but also free up more battery life. In terms of button feel, the left and right buttons are clearly confirmed, the style is slightly stuffy, not brittle, the left and right keys feel consistent very good, there is no empty and sticky feeling, and the button stroke is slightly longer. Compared with the black version, white is really beautiful, and the white bottom shell is still black, but the surface treatment of the ice leopard similar to matting white is very delicate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > summary</h1>
Ice Leopard Kone Pro Air inherits the traditional advantages of the Kone series, including the keys and the feel of the wheel is very stable, the button stroke is slightly longer for users who are accustomed to Logitech, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt, the hand advantage of the wheel is more obvious, whether the reliability or feel belongs to the superior performance of the same level. In terms of grip, I am very friendly to the crouching operation, and I feel very familiar and familiar with the mid-size hand, and I basically do not need to adapt. Comprehensive engine performance, endurance and lightweight performance, Ice Leopard Kone Pro Air This three-mode wireless mouse is fully capable of competing with GPW and viper ultimate, and the advantages of lighting personalization and taking into account Bluetooth are not available in the latter two mice, whether it is the value or performance is very capable of playing a lightweight performance level wireless gaming mouse, for users who are accustomed to shaking and using habits are very recommended. To say that it is insufficient, it may be that the delay after the application of the driver interface is more obvious, and some functions are not comprehensive.
