The closest you’ll get to a wireless KPU
I love the shape of the Roccat Kone Pure Ultra, so when my KPU started double clicking on me I started looking for alternatives with optical switches.The two alternatives I tried were the Roccat Kone Pro and this mouse, the Turtle Beach Pure Air. Turtle Beach acquired Roccat some years ago and is now rebranding their mice lineup under the same name.The mouse shape of the TB Pure Air, KPU, and Kone Pro are all very similar with the main difference being length. For comparison purposes, I found that the Kone Pro was just a tad too long for my tastes, while the Pure Air was very close to the same length as the KPU, if just a little longer.Battery life on Bluetooth is good. I’ve been using it every day for a week and the battery reports itself as 62%. Haven’t tried using the USB adapter yet, but Bluetooth performance is good enough for me.The software for configuring the mouse was OK. Updating the firmware for the mouse was kind of janky in that I would get a notification saying a firmware update was available, but you need to have the mouse connected via USB and the wireless dongle plugged in to actually update, and I couldn’t even get to the firmware update screen unless I closed and reopened the software a few times. Aside from that, configuring the mouse with the software is pretty straightforward. The best part about the software is that all settings get stored to the mouse, so once you are done configuring, you can close the software or even uninstall it and forget it exists.My only complaint is that the USB receiver cannot be stored in the mouse which makes it much easier to lose. I suspect this choice was made to save on weight. The Pure air is VERY light. Lighter than all the other mice I have even with the battery.Overall, I am quite satisfied with this mouse. I’m a little sad that they will probably never make another mouse with the exact same shape as the Kone Pure Ultra, but this is close enough for me.

Pleasantly Surprised
Back story: I started using a Roccat Kone Pure in 2016, then a Kone Pure Owl-Eye, and finally a Roccat Kone Pro. I really, really liked the Kone Pro and used it for years but it was always a touch too big for my hand. Enter the Pure Air… It’s like taking the Kone Pro and shrinking it to the perfect size for my hand (small-medium). Is it an exact replacement of the Kone Pure? No. But it’s not far off. The cable it comes with is paracord style like the Kone Pro. The main mouse clicks seem slightly improved. And the thumb buttons are definitely improved. The scroll wheel is nice. Nothing fancy, but not bad. The texture is also similar to the Kone Pro. So again, nothing fancy, but not bad. In terms of the weight, I thought I wouldn’t like a mouse lighter than the Kone Pro, but because it molds to my hand perfectly the weight feels perfect. Sensor performance and latency seem just as good as the Kone Pro. It’s wired performance is excellent. Note that I use all my mice wired so I can’t speak to the wireless performance. (Please withhold your judgement.) One con is that the feet where a little scratchy at first on my cloth pad. Should be a touch thicker. Is it worth the $99.99 MSRP? Probably not. Is it worth the $79.99 I paid on sale? I think so. So if you are a former Kone Pure user or a Kone Pro user who has always found it slightly too big, give this a try. Has the 3395 sensor and optical switches you’d expect of a quality mouse. Though they stuck with the 1000hz polling rate. Should have opted for 2k or 4k to be a bit more competitive with so many new higher polling rate mice coming out these days. Any who, I’m rambling. If you see it on sale and you’ve been thinking about trying the Pure Air, give it a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised, too.

The battery holds realy long and the moise is really really light weight👍

I like the mouse , it’s well built & better for my hands which at tradesman large but are bigger than most “office” hands so it’s comfortable for me.Copious options available for button assignment , the shift key really drew me to this mouse as that essentially doubles the amount of buttons you’ve access to.Reassigning the shift key to cycle through the DP modes is recommended as pressing the shift key while trying to access other buttons is nigh on impossible , i swapped for the bottom dp on the left side of the left mouse button.The RGB is poor , even with the clunky installed software the RGB is clunky & far from smooth. The transitions between colours are actually irritating.The scroll wheel . . . . total let down but I believe logitech have patented that free scrolling wheel with the ability to lock the scrollwheel in place.I dropped a star as i do not think the price of £140 is reasonable & with the poor RGB (which i don’t care about but if your going to implement it , do it well) & disappointing scroll wheel (of which none are deal breakers) I’m actually thinking 3 stars maybe more accurate.mouse has PTFE feet so very very smooth across the desk.
