Next week ROCCAT will uncover its new Kone XTD gaming mouse at Computex in Taipei and at E3 in LA.
German gaming peripherals manufacturer, ROCCAT Studios, will unveil one of
the most powerful gaming devices ever – and successor to the world famous Kone[+] – with the sneak
preview of the ROCCAT Kone XTD Max Customization Gaming Mouse at the E3 expo in Los Angeles
and the Computex expo in Taipei on June 5.
Extending the already formidable capabilities of the legendary Kone[+], the XTD is powered by an
impressive performance package loaded with the latest 8200 DPI Pro Aim R3 laser sensor, a 32-bit Turbo
Core 2 72MHz ARM MCU processor, and the world’s most advanced Tracking & Distance Control Unit – all
working in clockwork unison to deliver world-beating battle ability. It also features a new mega-tough, ultra-
precise scroll wheel designed to let gamers give every command with absolute accuracy.
Add to that a range of ergonomic features designed to deliver the longest play comfort, like No-Sweat side
grips for extended slip-free play, a finger-pampering soft touch surface – as well as a suite of the world’s
most advanced gaming software for max customization – and the Kone XTD promises to be the Hamburg-
based company’s most powerful gaming mouse to date.
“We’ve taken the Kone franchise to new heights with the XTD,” says René Korte, ROCCAT Founder and
CEO. “This is a supreme gaming weapon custom-built for the most demanding warriors. We can’t wait to
show off the newest big cat of gaming mice at E3 and Computex.”
The Kone XTD also comes standard with many exclusive features much loved by Kone[+] fans, including
Easy-Shift[+] technology, which lets users double the functions of their buttons and wheel, and ROCCAT
Talk, which lets the XTD communicate with compatible products – like the ROCCAT Isku Illuminated
Gaming Keyboard – to provide “set bonus” gaming advantages that let gamers play faster and with more
accuracy.
The Kone XTD even comes loaded with the new ROCCAT Achievements Display – or R.A.D. – a fun and
useful app that tracks a wide range of gaming statistics for analysis and hands out trophies when
exceptional milestones have been reached.
The Kone XTD is expected to hit shelves internationally September 2012. Select E3 and Computex visitors
can test drive the XTD at ROCCAT booths.
