ROCCAT Burst Pro PC Gaming Mouse, Optical Switches, Super Lightweight Ergonomic Wired Computer Mouse, RGB Lighting, Titan Scroll Wheel, Bionic Shell, Claw Grip, Owl-Eye Sensor, 16K DPI, Black

UPDATE 4/26/2021: So this is a bit of a saga. I got so frustrated with M1 and M2 buttons and their weird feel, I returned my open box Burst Pro. About a week later I was at Microcenter and they had a Burst Pro on display. I picked it up on a whim and clicked the buttons. I noticed that the right click on the display mouse was light and crisp, almost like a Razer Viper, but slightly more hollow. The left click felt like I originally described; stiff, hollow, and dull. So that got me thinking, maybe they revised the clicks on later models? I still didn't want to pay full price though for something that seemed like I was going to be potentially disappointing. So I ordered a second open box Burst Pro from Amazon for $30. This one was listed as 'acceptable', but it was like new, just the box was beat up. In any case, I think I got lucky. The M1 and M2 on the second open box mouse were worlds better than the first mouse. They felt like the right click on the display version of the Burst Pro at Microcenter. So this leaves me with some questions. Are these mice really inconsistent during production to the point that M1 and M2 can be so vastly different from mouse to mouse? Or is this a revised version? I don't know. I know that the Viper went through some updates over time to improve their main clicks. Roccat could be doing the same thing, or they could just have really poor QC during manufacturing. Considering how solid the rest of the mouse is, I have a hard time believing it is a QC issue. In any case, this is my new main. The issue I had with it is resolved on this copy, and I love it. I went ahead and bumped it up to 5 stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This review is almost painful to type out. I want to love this mouse so bad. It could easily be my main, but it's let down by the mouse 1 and 2 buttons. Let me get to the good parts first. Pros: -Lightweight, this is huge! It's a midsize mouse, but it's soooo light -Great shape, it seems pretty safe for most grips. I fingertip most of the time, and it works great that way. My handsize is 19 cm x 10.8 cm. It's very comfy for longer play sessions. -Great cable! It's not a paracord, but it works really well. I don't feel the need for a bungee. -Good side buttons. Very snappy and responsive. They are also easy to hit. One of my main complaints with the Viper and Model O are the side buttons being either too recessed or too far forward. The Burst Pro gets it right. -Good materials. This is a sturdy mouse, despite its weight. Also, the materials feel really good, even when you get a little sweaty. -Amazing skates !!! This things slides around so good. You will not need to upgrade skates on this mouse at all. It also comes with a spare set in case you wear yours out or have to take off the originals for some reason. -Good scroll wheel. The scroll feel is slightly inconsistent, but its pretty good. Clicking is great. Cons: -M1 and M2 buttons. This is about the only thing wrong with this mouse, but its egregious. The buttons lack feedback, take a lot of pressure to depress, and feel hollow somehow. It is nice that they are optical so they will never double click. And they do not have any pre/post travel, which is great too. But they feel bad to press. This mouse needs a revision with new M1 and M2s, closer to the new Razer opticals at a minimum. -Not available in wireless. This mouse begs to be wireless. It's so good, and wireless would make it even better. If they could maintain the same weight, so much the better. I picked this mouse up for about $30 open-box, so I am not complaining too much. It just sucks that the M1 and M2 are so bad. It ruins an otherwise great mouse. Hopefully we see a Burst Pro V2 or a Burst Pro Wireless in the future with better clicks.

So I'm an old gamer, and I think the microsoft wheel mouse optical was 100% the best OG gaming mouse bar none. It was light, tracked well for fast movement, and most importantly had the best shape. Can't use it any more because windows f'ed up it's ability to use 500hz (or anything over 125hz) thus making it choppy and unplayable. This Roccat is designed to almost the exact same specs as the wheel mouse optical. It's light, perfectly shaped for a relaxed claw grip, sensor in an ideal position for precision. But also, with awesome add ons! The feet are pretty slick and feel good with minimal friction. The software is actually really nice in letting you adjust sensor height cutoff (I have a bad habit of lifting the back of the mouse off ever so slightly so I adjust it higher), and INDEPENDENT X AND Y AXIS DPI ADJUSTMENT! What can I say other than 10/10. It's got a reputation for great build quality (unlike the mira m and HK gaming which die after a couple months use), perfect shape, good light weight, good sensor and buttons. S Tier!

I have not run into any issues other reviewers are talking about after having this for almost a year (11 months). I will admit I bought my white Burst Pro used for $30 (and it was basically brand new) to replace a Roccat Kain 122 that developed scroll wheel issues after less than a year so I was hesitant in getting it. The side buttons are nice, the material of the mouse feels nice, the stock cable and skates are completely fine for general use and gaming (anyone that complains about either of those things is being hyper-nitpicky for no real reason), and the weight feels good. The 1 drawback that I knew of going into getting this mouse is the sound of the clicks. It's awful. It's no exaggeration--it's really bad. It sucks that it sounds as bad as it does but fortunately it doesn't affect the functionality of the mouse, the clicks otherwise are perfectly fine. The scroll wheel has thankfully lasted and doesn't seem to be losing any functionality on top of feeling solid. I use a hybrid fingertip/palm grip as I have long fingers for anyone that's curious. The software has a lot to take in for first time users but it's not not user friendly and has plenty of options to work with. I have no complaints about the software whatsoever. So in short-- Good: Weight Material & Build Quality Software Buttons Stock Skates & Cable Scroll Wheel Meh: M1 & M2 clicking sound Bad: So far, nothing Roccat has had QC issues with their mice and the scroll wheel in particular but with almost a year in I have no complaints and have to say this mouse deserves 5 stars.

Loved the Kone pure so much I own two of them. When Roccat came out with something so feather light I just have to give it a go. The first impression is that it is really light weight and it gliiiiiides across my razer Goliathus extended just like that. Respond is superb and accurate. The cable is soft and does interfere with mouse movement. But since it’s an amorphous design and since I’m so used to the Pure, I’d accidentally change weapons in the heat of a fight more frequently than I like it. So when I found out Roccat has released the Kone Pro and Air, Indid not hesitate and ordered the Pro.

Roccat halt, wer die Marke liebt mag auch diese Maus, Akku könnte etwas länger halten, das ginge dann aber wieder auf das Gewicht Rundum zufrieden

1. Dont worry online review about coating its grippy as hell 2. Y axis movement of mouse it slightly noticable x axis is fine by the way the feet is really smooth. 3. Amazon has charged this way more than msrp only negative

My hand is 16.5cmx9cm, depending on what I'm doing (gaming, surfing, work, etc) I'll switch up my grip between a palm, a very relaxed claw, or a fingertip grip. I'm able to do all 3 with this mouse. This is an almost perfect mouse. The buttons feel tactile and are satisfying to press, the switches are great. I've seen people complain about the click, describing it as "mushy" and idk what on earth those folks are on about. They feel nice and crisp to me. On-board memory works flawlessly which means you can terminate the Swarm software once you've configured stuff and it will persist in a plug-and-play fashion, locally stored in the mouse. There is no rubberized coating or padding which is a plus for me as it lasts longer this way and is easier to clean without ruining the material, though if you have sweaty hands perhaps that isn't a great thing. I find that the slight texturing on the plastic itself is good enough to give me a grip. Scroll wheel is easy to press and precise, unlike my Steelseries Rival 300 which would trigger the scroll function while trying to press m3 about 2/3 of the time. Whether it will loosen over time and give me a similar result remains to be seen but I'm guessing not since I haven't seen anybody complain about that in any forums with the Roccat wheel. The placement of the side buttons could be a bit closer to the front end of the mouse, as I find them a little cumbersome to press with my thumb when I palm grip but not a huge deal. LEDs are nice and vibrant, nothing much to say as I'm not opinionated on gamer aesthetics. I turn the LEDs off half the time tbh.

Da meine Roccat Kone Pure nach einigen Jahren nun auch das "Doppelklick" Problem hatte, habe ich mich nach einem Nachfolgemodell ausschaue gehalten. Die Entscheidung ist aufgrund der Specs auf diese Roccat Burst Pro gefallen. Die Roccat Burst Pro liegt perfekt in der Hand und ist für meine kleinen Hände optimal. Wichtig war mir nicht wieder in das gleiche "Doppelklick" Problem zu laufen. Dieses Modell besitzt einen TITAN SWITCH OPTICAL und hält damit sicher länger. Das Klickgefühl ist auch tatsächlich anders (besser) wie bei der mechanischen Roccat Kone Pure. Die Gleitpads sind optimal, die Maus schwebt förmlich über das Mauspad. Die Beleuchtung sieht super aus, gut gefällt mir die Beleuchtung von innen. Man sieht die Wabenstruktur des Gehäuses, was die Maus durch das weniger verwendete Material einfach leichter macht. Was ich schade finde, dass es nur noch einen DPI Button gibt. Vorher konnte ich mit zwei DPI Buttons (hoch und runter), schneller wechseln, jetzt muss ich die DPI durchschalten. Preis-Leistung ist unschlagbar und daher auch eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.
