Roccat's gaming mouse portfolio sees the newest leader to its flagship series. Can the 8200 DPI-capable Kone XTD prove that it deserves to sit at the summit of Roccat's critically acclaimed mouse catalogue?

Roccat has sent a bold message to its competitors by aiming to improve the already highly successful Kone series of mice. Upgrades in the form of an improved sensor and enhanced processor, amongst others, aim to build upon the Kone[+] mouse's success by retaining its likeable features and adding a performance boost to sweeten the deal.

Equipped with an 8200 DPI Pro-Aim Sensor R3, 72MHz Turbo Core V2 32-bit Arm based MCU and Tracking & Distance Control Unit, have Roccat's upgrades paid off? Or is the end-user left to front the cost?
