Our Verdict

ROCCAT Burst Pro

ROCCAT Burst Core

The ROCCAT Burst Pro and the ROCCAT Burst Core are similar wired gaming mice with a few differences. The Burst Pro has better click latency, is marginally lighter, has a more flexible cable, and has better mouse feet. It also has a wider CPI range, allows for more precise CPI adjustments, and has a much lower lift-off distance. That said, they both share the same solid-feeling build quality and ambidextrous shapes. They're well-suited for nearly all grip types. They also share the same companion software that allows you to adjust settings, but it isn't very intuitive to use.
