The new Roccat Kone XP is a definite head-turner, thanks in part to a design that is all-RGB all of the time. With a see-through design and inner blades that light-up in a 3D fashion, it's a mouse that isn't afraid to go over-the-top.

And with an impressive sensor and 15 customisable buttons, there's a lot to like.

The shift to minimal and sleek mouse designs in recent years hasn’t been lost on Roccat, but in a very cool move it’s opted to double down on the button-filled design of the Kone and simply bring it into the present with an all-RPG all-the-time design.

It’s the first thing you notice as soon as you open the packaging, or look at the image on the packaging for that matter. Like one of those yo-yos you remember seeing as a kind, one that used to light up, the focus here - at least visually - is one illumination. With 22 lights arranged in a 3D configuration the end result is pretty spectacular. The Roccat Kone XP looks like something from the future, or at least a vision of it as depicted in any number of cyberpunk-inspired cityscapes. With blades you can see and an internal glow that’s customisable, the Roccat Kone XP certainly stands out from the pack. And that’s long before you get to the impressive stuff happening under the hood. And under the lights.
