Our Verdict

EVGA X17

ROCCAT Kone Pro

The ROCCAT Kone Pro is a better wired gaming mouse than the EVGA X17. The ROCCAT is much lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a much more flexible cable and mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Performance-wise, it has a higher maximum CPI, a more consistent sensor, and lower click latency. On the other hand, the EVGA has a higher maximum polling rate and four extra buttons, including an additional side button and L/R mouse wheel tilt buttons. Both mice are suitable for all grip types, but the ROCCAT is slightly more accommodating for more hand sizes.
