I had the first Roccat Kone and I loved it, how it felt, how it moved. But it broke multiple times :
- middle mouse button - went to warranty, got new one
- then doubleclick issue because some contact plastic got too used - fixed it manually, multiple times, by adding glue
- then eventually the middle broke (differently) on the new one, so I finally changed.
I didn't get the new one from Raccot because of the quality issues I had. It just felt too weak to me.
I got a Razer Imperator instead. I don't like it, it just doesn't fit my hand well. I gave it time to adapt, more than 1 year now. Still not as good. The captor is fine, it's really just the shape and grip.
Not to mention the quality of Razer is even worse, not only me but also by brother have double-click issue on all of the Razer we ever had (including deathadder) due to those stupidly cheap and bad mouse micro switch they use.
I find this totally unacceptable and I don't understand how they can even still sell mice and attract people.
I just have overall a really bad experience with gaming mice, I'm pretty upset about those brands. I'm ready to pay well more than 100 euros to get a perfect one, not some cheap ass quality. Even the 10 euro mice from back then were way more robust.
If anyone has advice... But at the end of the day I still love the feeling I had with the first Kone... I'm considering the R.A.T. too to make sure I get to make it fit, but I'm not sure if it's not gonna suck too, I've read about doubleclick issue for them too...
Is there any gaming mouse brand that actually sells high quality components? Or is the current technology in this regard just garbage?
Edit : I also want to add in Belgium I have hard time to find a store where I could actually test them all. Obviously this would be the way to go but for most of the high gaming mice I have to get them on the internet and not on an actual shop.
