ROCCAT have definitely taken things to the next level with the Kova[+] which sorts out the only issues we had with the original mouse. For those who already own the original Kova mouse, though, it probably isn’t worthwhile upgrading to this latest version as there isn’t a huge difference between the two models.
The soft touch rubberised finish of the Kova[+] is the most obvious upgrade from the Kova and it improves the feel of the mouse considerably. The overall build quality of the mouse is up there with the best so it should last you a good few years.
Performance in our gaming tests was flawless and the included software gives us a plentiful number of configuration options to set up the mouse to our liking. For those who are looking for a decent gaming surface to go with the Kova[+], we would recommend the ROCCAT Sota surface which is well suited to most types of gaming.
The choice of which gaming mouse to buy will ultimately come down to price for a lot of users. At a price of around £45 at Ebuyer, the Kova[+] is good value for money and should appeal to a wide spectrum of gamers. But for those who can’t afford this price tag, the original Kova mouse is still available from a few retailers for around £10 less.
KitGuru says: An improved version of an already impressive mouse.
Nice looking mouse. Im afraid my microsoft one has done me a long time and there is still some life in it yet.
The mouse shape looks comfortable from the pictures. that software design is so cluttered looking however. its like an alienware design interface system
I just bought another IKARI after finding one on a store. the kai is not so good. This looks pretty good, never seen them stocked locally, and I never buy a mouse online without putting my hand on it first. only way to tell if it will work.
Nick if youre in the UK and are attending epicLAN or i42 this year there will be a range of Roccat gear to view, test and win in competitions ! (over at Kustom pc’s)
Looks like a decent buy for the price, but so many options now it would be hard to pick this over say a steel series or razer
Almost bought this weeks ago but opted for a Logitech as it’s too risky without using it first hand
