AS GOOD as your current PC setup may be, choosing a dependable collection of peripherals is vital to getting the most out of your rig. Think of it like putting budget tires on a Ferrari or asking an Olympic sprinter to run in a pair of boots. One such key peripheral in your setup that should be top-tier is the mouse. Roccat claims its Kone Air Wireless is ergonomic, lightweight, and great for gaming, while coming in at a budget price of just under $70. So let's dive right in and find out whether Roccat has nailed it or missed the mark.

There are plenty of Kone variants offered by Roccat, but this model is a stripped-down and light option, hence the Air Wireless name. When first holding it, you notice that it's pretty light for a larger mouse, weighing in at 0.26lbs. It's important to note that this weight is when using one battery. This mouse is powered by a AA battery, which isn't exactly state-of-the-art in 2023, but it still has its perks. It can be powered using one battery for a lighter overall weight and also has the option to be powered with two AA batteries for an overall battery life of 800 hours. Plus, they're cheap and easy to find around the home.
