This support plate actually comes
in much handier than you would
initially think. It looks more
intrusive than it is. In reality
it helps gives form to the mouse and
there’s no warping that can occur or
at the very least it doesn’t seem like
it will.

This is one of the most
comfortable mouse designs
I’ve come across. It fits snuggly
in the hand and allows you to rest
your palm completely as it supports
all of it. The base of your hand can
tend to drag but that is the case with
many other gaming mice. This one
is amongst the better ones however.
The fit is just right.

On the fly DPI settings are the
standard affair these days and a
must have. This mouse will not
go to 8,000 DPI like the other “Pure”
laser mice but I do believe that is more
academic than practical. Even with
those models I have never felt the
need to have the mouse sensitivity
dialed that high and for the most part
4,000 is already overkill. That it’s an
optical mouse means it works on a lot
more surfaces as well. Obviously not
an issue when paired with the Raivo
for example, but for those who will not
have a dedicated gaming mouse mat,
you’ll appreciate the optical sensor as
opposed to the laser one. The polling
rate for this mouse is adequately
high at 1000 Hz. From my time spent
gaming with this mouse, there’s no
functional difference between this
optical version and the laser variants.

576Kb of memory is used to store
all your macros. Again overkill,
but appreciated especially if
you have radically different button
assignments between your games.
This will probably be more appealing
to the professional or competitive
gamers, but then again, this is a
professional gamer’s mouse for the
most part.

The ROCCAT symbol lights up
and the colour is customizable
through the software. For all
intents and purposes you can have any
colour you desire as there’s more than
16 million available at your disposal.
