The ROCCAT Tyon is a decent wired FPS gaming mouse. It has a ton of programmable buttons and a slightly slanted, ergonomic design. Its sensor performance is excellent and consistent, with a fairly wide adjustable CPI range and a fairly low click latency that should be fast enough even for competitive gaming. While all the buttons are programmable, unfortunately, we found its software to be quite laggy and buggy. The mouse is quite heavy and large, and those with small hands will likely have a hard time reaching all the buttons in any grip type.
Our Verdict

The ROCCAT Tyon is a very good mouse for MMO games due to its large amount of programmable buttons. While it doesn't have a side panel of buttons like most dedicated MMO mice, it has buttons spread all over the mouse. You can use the companion software to reprogram every button, as well as set a second layer to give you a total of 32 programmable buttons. Unfortunately, the mouse is too big for people with small hands, as they'll have a hard time reaching all the buttons.

Popular Mouse Comparisons

The Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB is a better wired gaming mouse than the ROCCAT Tyon. While both mice are quite heavy, the Corsair has a much wider adjustable CPI range and is much more suitable for small hands in palm or claw grip. The Corsair's software is also fully compatible with macOS.
The Razer DeathAdder Elite is a better wired gaming mouse than the ROCCAT Tyon. The Razer is much lighter, and its slightly smaller body is better suited for small hands if you use a palm grip. It also has a much wider adjustable CPI range. On the other hand, the ROCCAT has way more programmable buttons.
The SteelSeries Rival 600 is a much better mouse for FPS games than the ROCCAT Tyon. The SteelSeries is lighter, has a slightly lower click latency, and has a wider adjustable CPI range. Both mice are too large for people with small hands to use comfortably, but if you have medium or large hands and use a fingertip grip, the SteelSeries is much easier to hold. On the other hand, the ROCCAT has way more programmable buttons than the SteelSeries.
The Logitech G300s is a much better mouse for FPS gaming than the ROCCAT Tyon. The Logitech is slightly smaller and can be used in palm and claw grip by people with small hands, while the ROCCAT isn't for small hands with any grip type. They're both wired mice, and while the ROCCAT has a much wider adjustable CPI range, the Logitech has a slightly lower click latency. The Logitech is a lot lighter, however, which makes it a better choice for FPS games.
