<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > preface</h1>
German Ice Leopard ROCCAT is a PC game accessory manufacturer specially designed with high-quality and excellent PC peripherals, giving gamers the ultimate competitive advantage, and designing many exquisite appearance and advanced technology products. Mouse is also one of the main product lines of Ice Leopard, the series part has KONE Magic Leopard, KAIN Cayenne, BURST Aurora Leopard, LEADR Titanium Shark Leopard, the shape and function are different, and I bought the KONE Magic Leopard's KONE PRO AIR Wireless Professional Edition this time, which is the first wireless mouse in the history of the Kone series, wireless three-mode, e-sports wind, RGB, and the hardware configuration is quite good, and the value is also high.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > KONE PRO AIR Wireless Professional Edition</h1>
KONE PRO AIR uses a black package, the front side has a mouse overhead rendering, you can see that the left and right keys have lights, yellow blue, the more detailed is that the right side of the introduction also uses a similar color collocation, the upper left corner of the KONE PRO AIR IN THE PRO is yellow, AIR is blue.
On the back is the side view of THE KONE PRO AIR, there are some features, such as the iconic design, optical speed, professional performance, the left and right sides are also similar, the left side is a few keywords, 100+ hours of battery life, 75g weight Titan Switch Optical, 19000DPI, etc., the right is an exterior design feature, rollers, foot pads, etc.
All accessories can be removed to see the KONE PRO AIR mouse, a 2.4G wireless receiver and a Type-C to USB-A cable, as well as a manual in various languages. This mouse is available in two colors, black and white, black classic, white beautiful, I still chose black.
KONE has always been the main ergonomic styling, in the KONE PRO AIR mouse has been more detailed fine-tuning, so it can give people a better sense of comfort, basically can adapt to any hand shape and grip.
The overall fuselage design is more special, the top is matte black in low light, and the honeycomb pattern on the left and right keys can be faintly seen. This is the lightweight and stiff honeycomb shell of the KONE PRO AIR, which effectively blocks dust while achieving extreme weight reduction, the entire mouse weighs only 75g, and the translucent design of the front can display AIMO's 16.8 million color RGB lighting effects.
In order to reduce the design, the KONE PRO AIR roller uses the new Titan roller system, made of one-piece molded aluminum alloy, the entire roller is hollowed out design, but the structure is very strong, the touch is very good, the material is also aimed at reducing weight, so weight control has a hand.
KONE PRO AIR has two side keys that can be customized via ROCCAT Swarm to achieve different functions. Both sides of the mouse have a similar streak treatment, which increases friction and improves the touch. The curvature of the side key is larger than that of the other side, which has a certain supporting effect and is more ergonomic.
The micro motion part uses Titan Optical Micro Motion, which has about 100 million click life, better touch, faster response, and provides faster speed and higher accuracy. Titan's micro-motion starts through the beam, and when pressed, the beam is blocked by the key axis, so it can achieve high precision and no delay.
The bottom of the front and back of the three foot pads, there are specifications, the other side is a few buttons, more conspicuous is the two-way movement of the button, one side is 2.4g wireless, the other side is the Bluetooth mode, next to the button there is a 2.4g wireless receiver storage space, this is really praised.
The optical sensor section uses a PAW3370-designed ROCCAT Owl-Eye19 K optical sensor that supports adjustable lift detection distances and 50g acceleration.
The foot pad is still adjusted, the area before and after is larger, and the sensor part has a circle, which is a heat-treated pure PTFE mouse foot pad, which has a blue film on it, which needs to be torn off before use, otherwise the sliding process will be very strange after contact with the mouse pad. After tearing it off, it is as smooth as silk.
Type-C port in the front of the bottom, the layout is relatively deep, access to the interface can play a fixed role, in short, type-C interface praise, no direction of worry.
The cable part is a PhantomFlex USB-C charging cable, the appearance of the braided wire is quite soft, bent at will, and the length of 1.8 meters is also very light, and the cable is almost non-inductive, supporting fast charging technology for ten minutes to achieve 5 hours of gameplay.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > experience</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > grip</h1>
Grip is an important feeling of the mouse, it is uncomfortable to use, and no matter how beautiful the function is, it is useless. KONE PRO AIR after the fine adjustment of the ice leopard, the overall shape is ergonomic, whether it is mastery, finger grip or grip can support, I mainly refer to the grip, the hand is not long, about 17cm, the palm socket is basically filled, plus the material and weight of the combination is very cool, really very light.
The two buttons on the thumb side feel good, and the buttons are triggered quickly and rebound strongly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > RGB light</h1>
Lighting part OFONE PRO AIR layout under the button at the fingertip position, the light is lit up to see the BIONIC honeycomb structure of the upper shell, because the translucent blanking design is lightweight and transparent at the same time, and the sense of technology is sufficient. The lights support 16.8 million colors and can be adjusted via ROCCAT Swarm software.
The range of the light is not large, just within the fingertip range, the use of the process will have a feeling of jumping on the lamp, very interesting. Lighting can modify the mode of lighting, you can also modify the color, adjust the brightness and speed, so the stage is very large.
▲Intelligent lighting mode
▲ Waves
▲Flickering
▲ Breathing
▲Heartbeat
▲Full brightness

The other is the precision preset, the main change is 6, 7, 8 keys, 6 keys become Easy-Aim 200 DPI, 7 keys become Easy-Wheel volume, 8 keys do not change. You can see that there is EASY-SHITF on the right side, and there are 8 more buttons, that is, you can set an EASY-SHIFT in the 1-8 keys, such as 7 keys, and then set the function of 8 keys in the EASY-SHITF bar, as long as you click 7 keys to enter the EASY-SHITF 8 keys, and then click 1, 2, 3 or a key to achieve the corresponding function.
There are also many options for keystrokes, specifying a macro, specifying shortcut keys, specifying timers, basic functions, advanced functions, etc., and each banner can also be expanded to select the desired function, so the diy space is very large.
Macros are also a major feature of THE KONE PRO AIR, which has a lot of macros for games, like Rainbow Six Siege, the games I often play, and Overwatch, etc., quite a lot of options to choose from.
If you enter a separate settings interface, you can see the adjustment of vertical scroll speed and double click speed, which has two more adjustments than the main interface.
The last one is the advanced settings, the left side is the wireless settings, you can see the battery status, 70% of the power, can be used for 44 hours, down is the signal strength display Excelent, as well as energy-saving switches, encrypted pairing. On the right, you can set the refresh rate, angle bite, distance control unit, that is, the distance control of the sensor and mouse pad, and finally the recharge setting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > connection stability and battery life</h1>
KONE PRO AIR is equipped with Ice Leopard's Stellar Wireless technology, which has low latency, fast response speed, and 2.4GHz can ensure that it is as reliable as a wired connection, sometimes even better than wired devices. And support Bluetooth mode connection, after full charge can achieve more than 100 hours of use time.
In the actual use of the process I used 2.4G wireless and wired in the FPS game Rainbow Six Siege experience is no difference, the follow-up, did not see any delay, and very stable, continuous burst for several hours without disconnection. Bluetooth is more used for use when working, does not need too strong performance, and is more power-efficient to use. And the charging speed is very fast, Ice Leopard's own fast charging can play the game for 5 hours in 10 minutes, and the simple work is not a problem.
