Gaming has changed. The modern battlefield is an especially hostile place, with threats from the air, sea and land. How do you react to these extra dimensions of gameplay? Enter the ROCCAT Tyon, the all action multi-button gaming mouse that’s the result countless hours of design from the industry’s greatest minds, specifically tailored for modern, multi-vehicle warfare.

UNRIVALED COMMAND POWER
The Tyon features the X-Celerator, a single-axis analog thumb paddle pioneered for modern battlefields. It gives you unrivaled command capabilities without sacrificing control. You can use it to seamlessly tilt left and right, pitch up and down, increase and decrease throttle and much more, all while maintaining perfect mouse control.

IMPROVED EASY-SHIFT[+]™ FUNCTIONALITY
ROCCAT’s breakthrough Easy-Shift[+]™ technology lets you assign a secondary function to each button on the mouse, for a near endless number of attack possibilities. The secondary function can be activated once the Easy-Shift[+]™ button is held down. On the Tyon, this is a dedicated button conveniently located beneath the traditional side buttons.

EXTENDED ATTACK OPTIONS
The Tyon is the first ROCCAT mouse armed with the ingenious Dorsal Fin-Switch, a two-way button controlled mid-knuckle, expertly placed for ease of use without having to adjust the hand during crucial moments. The Dorsal Fin-Switch is a brilliant tactical design to move ever more vital functions away from the keyboard and to your gaming mouse.

AN EXPANDED ARSENAL
Four expertly placed ergonomic buttons flank the main right and left clicks, allowing even more functions to live on the Tyon rather than your keyboard. This addition to the multi-button layout allows for even more rapid execution of myriad commands, designed to feel so comfortable each action feels like second-nature.

YOUR TYON, YOUR STYLE
Fully customize the look of your Tyon with new industry-standard RGBY lighting illumination system. Adjust the color of your scroll wheel and mouse rim independently of one other for your own unique look.
