Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO

ROCCAT Kone Pro Air

The ROCCAT Kone Pro Air is an excellent wireless gaming mouse, while the ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO is a good wired gaming mouse. You can use the Kone Pro Air wirelessly via Bluetooth or its USB receiver. Also, its mouse feet glide more smoothly, and its paracord-like charging cable is more flexible than the Kain 120 AIMO's braided cable. The Kone Pro Air is much lighter and has lower click latency. On the other hand, the Kain 120 AIMO has more RGB zones and a CPI-switching button below the scroll wheel.
