Got the fastest 40 kills in Deathmatch I ever had, moved back to RVU with Grips nd love it over my gpx, haste nd orochiv2

[@Ulayo]

I hit the like button and nothing bad happened. I consider that a good thing.

[@konsumverhalten]

hey, do I just need to buy a USB-Cable extension for the wireless thingy for the kone pro air? and does it matter usb 2.0 or 3.0? great video! @hausgaming

[@HardwareUnpluGGed]

Great review man! I enjoyed my time with the Kone Pro Air but returned it. For $100 I may just pick it up and keep it! Ty for the S/O 😀 🙏

[@davetechme]

Excellent review. Bought it, loved it, returned it to give my GPX more time to get used to, and bought it again. Keeping it this time and getting rid of the GPX.

[@hausgaming]

Damn that's some back and forth! Glad you like it 💪

[@korhonenaki00]

Im doing same as you Im back on this one and got it for 71€ with my own discount

[@Toinou307]

Great review, concise but comprehensive 👍 I'm still waiting for the MM731 since the shape and smaller size seem more my thing, but if it doesn't hit the mark I can always go for this one

[@hausgaming]

Yeah I'm quite excited for the MM731 as well!

[@joelstoppa]

@@hausgaming me too, let's wait

[@Guinibee1]

Great video haus! This is my second favorite ergo after outset. It's very close though. Great mouse!

[@hausgaming]

Thanks brother 💪. The KPA really was a positive surprise for me, I didn't expect to like it this much!

[@Martz604]

Picked this up on the $99 sale and it's definitely a great shape since I have massive hands. Only downside is no dedicated DPI button but I changed the profile switch button for DPI. Great mouse!

[@unkkit151]

what situations do you need a dedicated DPI button when you can just change the DPI once in the software and never set it again? I typically use the DPI button for an extra key bind.

[@exostatics]

I got it for $70. I would have gotten white but it was $99

[@beaverg5702]

I really appreciate how you actually use the products compared to a lot of other reviewers. where it is their main for a "week".

[@Carlosdsquirrel1]

Another banger of a video dude! The like button has powers I went from 08.kd to 3.15 in apex! 😳

[@hausgaming]

😂😂

[@theexpatgunner]

Currently ROCCAT have the Kone Pro Air on sale for 49.99 Euro normal price 99.99. I just ordered one with a Vulcan 120 keyboard US packaging which was also discounted to 59.99 from 159.99. Add in a first order discount of 10% made it too good to ignore.

[@NathanMian]

That thumbnail is nuts, very enjoyable video as always!

[@hausgaming]

Glad you like it!

[@dainiusvysniauskas2049]

Would it be fine for someone with 19.5x9.5 hands and who likes to use relaxed palm grip? My short mouse history: Used Rival 110 for few years, liked how the shape got wider at the back. Eventually wanted to upgrade, got Roccat Kain Aimo 200, shape was nice but not a big fan of how the left side didn't have proper thumb rest. Scroll wheel started to bug out within a year. Got Fantech XD3V2. Shape is alright, but again, lack of thumb rest and narrow back didn't feel particularly well to me. Scroll wheel started to bug out year after getting the mouse. Now I've been using Deltaco DM430. Hate the shape, absolutely awful for palm grip because the hump is way too forward, if I place my hand so that the bump fits, I am forced into a claw grip and my thumb is way beyond the thumb rest. So I just use fingertip grip and rest my palm on the surface. My other option are Viper Ultimate and XM2We, both mice have somewhat similar shape to Rival 110, but RVU might be too flat and the XM2We might have too steep of decline in front of the hump

[@87detto]

Could've been a nice shape but they made a major design flaw imo: the right front. Its interesting for palm grippers. But it always clinches my ring finger when right clicking.

[@trinhhieu6270]

Any claw grippers in the KPU / XM1 Wireless waiting room? Swapping between those two as daily drivers for Ergo / Symm medium claw mice is my actual endgame.

[@carlosferjezus]

Enjoying the equate?

[@hausgaming]

My unit has a horrible base, slips around like crazy. Otherwise it feels great!

[@Jimmboooya]

@@hausgaming will you review the equate?

[@MeyKoo]

Worth switching off the outset for this? I love the outset shape, but just want wireless. Or too big of a difference?

[@hausgaming]

Only switch to this or Prime if wireless is an absolute must imo, Outset is better than both of those in every way in my opinion. 💪

[@daykeyy]

Hey, when are you expecting to get the mm731?

[@hausgaming]

Not exactly sure, but I should be getting a review sample fairly early!

[@Pnut123e4]

That extender (random?) looks nice. Where can I find one ?

[@hausgaming]

I got one from another mouse

[@Oznark46]

I’m barely gonna get my first gaming pc and mouse soon In your opinion would u recommend as a first mouse ( I want to go wireless) the g305. Or the orochi v2

[@hausgaming]

G305 and Orochi V2 are great first choices. I wouldn't go for anything more expensive than that. I myself still love the G305!

[@Oznark46]

@@hausgaming alright cool. Yeah don’t want to go straight for the super light for my first mouse. Not even used to mouse and keyboard yet

[@JvMr333]

Atleast for the g305, replacing the battery with a lithium ion one is a noticeable change in weight. Also getting new feet can potentially improve it even more. Both affordable upgrades.

[@ColtonMyskohlid]

Best review of this mouse. Better than Boardzy's ;)

[@Fatal_Error_Gaming]

@hausgaming Very good review man. Really appreciate taking your time out of your regular job to put these vids out. Good to see yours subs still climbing man. Wow those clicks are loud. Lol. Full view and Thumbs up brother.

[@hausgaming]

Much appreciated brother 💪!

[@DaSlowMotionPimpSlap]

to anyone looking to buy this mouse, After using this mouse for a year plus the scroll wheel on them go bad very quickly (with in the month or maybe the month after getting it) both my copies have the same issue but I really like the shape so I still use it and dont use the scroll wheel

[@RealMTBAddict]

That's why they aren't being made anymore.

[@alessandroparadiso6484]

a friend gifted this mouse, I'm feeling so good for shape and sensor precision, but I'm hurting my self about the post travel of clicks, I play valorant and csgo, can't tap so good as my ninjusto origin one x or my ec1. should I think that it's my copy issue quality or just a fact of this mouse? and about grips tape, there's some site where I can buy some mouse grip tape for it?

[@Wakaboo14]

Do you like this mouse more or the Outset AX? I've been using symm mice for so long I've been thinking about trying ergo again lol. Do you still main the Outset too?

[@hausgaming]

AX is by far the best ergo I've tried. I want to find a wireless mouse to main for now though!

[@Danko_HS]

@@hausgaming What about Orochi? Too small?

First time in your channel and I had to check immediately are you a Finn or Estonian :D

[@GuidoDePalma]

I really want to try it out

[@jurij7224]

I had a KonePureMilitary back in tha day and i always have H A T E d its shape. it was very uncomfortable dictating a certain kind of claw grip style. In particular the right side of the mouse not being straight has always interfered with my fingertip grip. it was very uncomfortable dictating a certain kind of claw grip style. Anyway - me having medium sized hands and hingertip grip this KPAir simply is not the mouse for me. Its more for palm/claw gripers with large hands.

[@TheShmrsh]

Worth going to this after wired? im scared of those 10 grams

[@RealMTBAddict]

Not this mouse. Buy a glorious gaming mouse with 4000 Hertz polling rate, wireless.

[@rossorori]

how is it the steelseries prime in pincer claw grip? seems built around that grip

[@hausgaming]

It's good for it, but I wouldn't say it's built for it. The technical problems and low tier features in Prime are just make me rate this over the Prime

[@eXSPLY]

Anywhere I can find out more about the RGB polling rate issues? Can’t find anything online about it

[@hausgaming]

Not many people test polling stability these days, but if TechPowerUp review does not mention the issue, then it has been fixed in a firmware update at some point!

[@eXSPLY]

@@hausgaming Yeah I happened to find the article just after my comment, seems to have been fix, thank you

[@I3asyl]

I know ur ec3 review is prob coming soon but in your opinion Prime or EC3? There are good deals for prime for $110 right now

[@hausgaming]

Hard to say as of now tbh, I'd prolly get the Prime only if wireless is a must, otherwise EC3-C.

[@I3asyl]

@@hausgaming thanks for the fast response. I wanted to act on the deal if possible. For me wireless isn't a must especially since I main outset atm but it's just abit to hump bulky but everything else is perfect. Ec3 seems to have a great cable weight balance and seems to be outset with smaller hump so exactly what I want but I'm wondering if it'll feel too small then with 20 by 10 cm hands in claw.

[@tyson5073]

Got it on sale for $120 AUD/ $87USD great price cannot wait to try it out, as i've been maining the Kone Pure Ultra,but its a bit small for my handsize, hurts after an hour of repetitive playing.

[@overxgaming7948]

How's the kone pro holding up?

[@RealMTBAddict]

That's about $70 too expensive.

[@arnankamal8066]

Would u recommend me the aqua control plus coated one for valorant?

[@hausgaming]

The Strata ones aren't coated, actually none of the AC+:s are coated as far as I know, and they are good for Valorant!

[@Tjenaretjenaremannen]

The coating/plastic felt extremely cheap to me, I think its due to the light honeycomb shell but yeah imho not a nice feeling to hold on...

Cheap feeling material isn't really a deal breaker as long as it's grippy. It's a gaming mouse at the end of the day 😏

nice i paid 43 total for wireless version that i found on ebay

[@malito245]

This or the prime wireless?

[@hausgaming]

Watch both of my reviews, they are fairly detailed so you can make your decision. Imo the Prime has a slightly better shape, but other than that it's much worse than the KPA in terms of features.

[@affinity601]

I personally prefered the prime clicks but i noticed you didnt mention them here. Do you prefer kone air clicks over the prime?

[@hausgaming]

@@affinity601 Prime has a better click feel, but the KPA has much better functionality.

Does this feel more “airy” in a 18* 9 cm hand than a g pro Superlight or opposite?

Sorry, I do not quite understand what you mean. The KPA is larger

Yeah those are RGB mode related, set RGB off for best results atm.

I was thinking about buying it but it really doesn't stand out in any department. MM731 is near launch and it must do better in every aspect.

[@hausgaming]

I wouldn't say that an unreleased mouse does better in every aspect ;). Roccat has done very well with all the technical aspects of this mouse.

[@Quick_Sa_Fugim]

@@hausgaming I said that it must do better, not that it does. We'll see soon. Hope you'll get on for review. My dream ergo should be a G703 Superlight but it doesn't exist yet. :)

[@TheArtlu]

A little wird comment bro.. Roccat makes some of the best build mouses on the market. I have the CM mm711 and the Roccat BP, and the Roccat blows the CM out of the water in all aspects. I love the m711 shape but man.. they are far behind.

[@Quick_Sa_Fugim]

@@TheArtlu never owned a Roccat and this one checked all the marks in my list. Wasn't convinced tho, and I ended up buying the Superlight. Still think that the ergo shape fits my grip better. I'll see what happens with time. My last 2 years I had a G703 Hero and I loved that ergo shape.

[@realduox]

not coming with a usb dongle extender that connects to the same cord as the charger is basically a deal breaker for me.

[@hausgaming]

I get that 👍. I have so many left over from older products that I don't really care that much personally

You can buy usb extension for like 5 bucks. Silly reason
