Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kone Pro Air

ROCCAT Kone XP Air

The ROCCAT Kone XP Air and the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air are similar wireless gaming mice from the same lineup. The Kone XP Air has many more programmable buttons, making it a good choice for more complex titles like MMOs and MOBAS. It also has more RGB lighting and includes a charging dock that acts as a wireless extender. On the other hand, the Kone Pro Air is lighter and has fewer buttons. It also has somewhat better gaming performance and is a better choice for playing focused on faster-paced titles like FPS games.
