Roccat Kiro
Make the mouse you want.
The Kiro’s defining features are the removable side plates, which allows it to switch from left- to right-handed mode. There are two spare side plates included, but using these disables two of the four switches found on each side of the mouse (there are two switches on each side). It’s also another mouse that appears to be designed for those of us with smaller hands, as it’s extremely small and light. However, this makes it more suitable for fingertip and claw gamers, who require a smaller mouse due to their lighter purchase on the surface.
In its default mode, there are plenty of buttons, with a total of seven, including a DPI switcher right next to the scroll wheel. Speaking of which, the scroll wheel is one of the nicest we’ve felt, with just the right amount of resistance. We’re not quite as fond of the software, though, which requires a hefty and lengthy download for each Roccat device; plus it goes ahead and installs other apps we don’t want. At least it saves your settings to the cloud, which can even be accessed via your phone.
Roccat has gone for an all-plastic design; we’d have liked a bit of rubber to make it comfier during long sessions, though this is also prone to sweat.
Once again the sensor feels just right — there really is very little between mice these days to determine their accuracy, apart from the two we mentioned. Considering its configurability, this is one of the few mice that is actually worth close to $100.
