Software

The software for the Kone Pure is a rather impressive suite that lets you crafts up to 5 personal profiles that can be saved to the mouse, itself, as well as your PC or a USB flash drive for backup. The first tab of the software covers your basic speed controls from sensitivity to the scroll speed of the mouse wheel to your double-click speed. The main this of note here is the customizable DPI switcher though. While some mice dabble in this function with preset settings, the Kone Pure allows you to craft up to 5 different settings to be freely switched between for each profile.

The next section of the software gives you full control over the Kone Pure’s button assignments. By assigning one of these buttons as the EasyShift button you can also double the button possibilities of the mouse and switch freely between your individually set profiles. The button assignments do not stop at simple commands or buttons though as the ROCCAT software allows you to record macros and assign them to mouse buttons in much the same way as macro keyboards.

The advanced options allow for even more expandability and personalization of the Kone Pure to your liking. Advanced sensitivity can be enabled to allow adjusted sensitivity on either the X or Y axis of movement as well as tracking and distance control can be tweaked for those who fight themselves lifting their mice more often.

The final thing of note in the software is the color and lighting effect control. You aren’t limited by the brand specific color or a small list of options here and the Kone Pure is capable of nearly absolute RGB color to the point of letting you customize it completely down to the hexadecimal value should you please.

All of these are part of the overall mouse profile and up to 5 of these profiles can be saved to the mouse. Another thing of note is the Kone Pure is ROCCAT Talk compatible for those of you using more than just the mouse.
