Hello, this is the Provoked Prawn, and this is a video to compare two of my very favorite gaming
mice and this is gonna be interesting because they're completely different the Logitech G Pro
X Superlight and the Roccat Kone XP as you'll see from these shots these are two vastly different
mice and very striking in their complete and utter differences however I think they're worth
comparing because in my opinion are two of the best mice that money can buy for different reasons
now I really like the G Pro X Superlight and it has actually been my main mouse when not
using others for review purposes and just recently I've got my hands on the Roccat Kone XP and I like
it for a lot of different reasons so in this video I'm going to compare the two and talk about the
differences between them and the highlights and low lights of both and what I like and don't like
about them now as you'll see the Logitech G Pro X Superlight is available in white and black and
there's also a pink variant which unfortunately I don't have so I can't show you that
but you can see just how striking it is but also completely and utterly different from the Kone XP
which is very striking in itself thanks to that 3D RGB powered by 22 internal LEDs that you can see
going on there now these are two quite different mice you'll see that roughly similarly sized but
the Kone XP has a very ergonomic design to it for right-handed gamers whereas the Logitech G Pro
X Superlight is more symmetrical in its design and shape the G Pro X Superlight also obviously
strikes because immediately it has one no RGB and two also just five programmable buttons whereas
the Roccat Kone XP has 15 programmable buttons that can be customized up to 29 different actions
which is insane that's five thumb buttons alone and a number of other buttons including left and
right tilt on the mouse wheel now you'll notice that the G Pro X Superlight has a lot of PTFE
areas on the underside and it's very understated and is very highly rated by a number of different
people mostly because it's not only a no-frills mouse in terms of being over the top with RGB and
that's wonderful reason to compare these two just to show how completely different they are but also
because it has some pretty decent specs including up to 25 600 DPI 40g acceleration 400 IPS
a thousand hertz polling rate and naturally it is worse as well with up to 70 hours of battery life
and having no RGB helps with that because it means that the mouse can keep going and going and it's
really slick and easy to use and as I'll show in a little while it's also incredibly lightweight
now these are two quite different mice as you can see from this shot and I think it's important to
talk about the differences but also the reasons why I like both of them I like the Superlight
for its simplicity for its overall comfort and the simple look and feel of it also feels really good
to use and thanks Logitech's lightspeed technology it registers your clicks really quickly and
easily and it works just seamlessly and really really well it's really nice looking in both
the white and black variants and it has grip tape included in the box which you can add to the mouse
for a little bit of extra grip the mouse wheel is satisfying to use and the buttons themselves
are also very good it packs OMRON switches which people do complain about wearing out over time and
resulting in double click issues but I've not had a problem with the one I've been using as my main
when I'm not using other mice and that's mostly been this black one which I have used quite a lot
and if you've seen the shots of it in my recent videos with it with the grip tape on you'll see it
has been heavily used and it doesn't look as nice as it did when it first came out the box you will
see there is a little bit of movement in the mouse wheel but it doesn't have left and right click
like the Kone XP however there is a lot to be said for this mouse in terms of things like the freedom
that it offers obviously being a wireless mouse it has the obvious advantage of being very flexible
in that it doesn't have any cables to hold it down and it's just slick and easy to move around
the PTFE areas on the underside are nice and large relatively quiet and give very little feedback
when you're sliding the mouse around on your mouse mat you can also remove the little plate
on the underside with the Logitech g logo on it and swap it out with another one that's included
which has even more PTFE areas on it now you can also purchase additional things for this
mouse it's a very popular mouse so you can easily get some extra glides for it there are some glass
ones that are available and I'm contemplating buying those just to test it out and you can
swap them out with a number of other ones it's very popular so it's really easy to get hold
of replacement feet but also upgradeable feet it comes with Logitech's lightspeed wireless dongle
which means that you can plug it into your PC and get a very solid connection over 2.4 gigahertz
it's also power play compatible so it'll work with Logitech's power play max which means that you
can get constant charge directly from powered mouse map from Logitech which means that you
really don't need to even worry about plugging it in which is definitely another advantage of
the system and a highlight to the mouse as I said as standard it has up to 70 hours of battery life
which in itself is a remarkable amount it is unfortunately powered up by a micro USB cable
which I know will upset a few people but it is a nicely designed one and it's easy to plug in
when you need to the fact it doesn't have any RGB lighting also means it doesn't drain the
battery unnecessarily and if you're after a mouse that's really understated and yet comfortable to
use and a lot of fun to game with very accurate and gives some nice tactile feedback when you're
using it and actuate as it should every time then the Superlight is definitely a good choice
now there's a lot to be said about the Kone XP as well though that is a fantastic mouse and not
least of which because of the ergonomic shape of it you'll notice it has a nice large thumb rest
and on that thumb rest you also have the easy shift button which is basically a button you can
press that then lets you access a number of other customization options for the various other mouse
buttons I said this has 15 programmable buttons and you can get up to 29 actions out of those
when you're pressing and holding that easy shift button it opens up a secondary layer of actions
on the Roccat mouse now it's worth noting that Logitech has a similar option with g-shift so you
can program secondary layers on the Logitech mouse as well with the g-shift technology in
Logitech's g-hub but you are limited because there's only five buttons comparable with the
15 on the Roccat the Roccat mouse also has left and right tilt on the mouse wheel and as you can
see you have buttons to adjust the DPI next the main left button and a multitude of thumb buttons
that are easily accessible on the side as well it has nice textured grips and a nice ergonomic shape
it fits really well in the hand and this Kone XP is basically one in a long line of Kone mice
that have been approved upon over time so they've made it better and better over time
I will say that I do feel that the Logitech mouse feels a bit more premium in the hand and it is
a bit more expensive and so it warrants that I think and that's not to say that the Kone XP
feels cheap but then obviously it does have a wire on it as well so that is one downside
if you want the wireless freedom then the Superlight is the one to go for at the moment and
I certainly do prefer wireless mouse for the most part however the Kone XP is wonderfully affordable
and it packs in some pretty awesome specs of up to 19 000 max DPI 50gs of acceleration it's got
an adjustable lift off distance 1000 hertz polling rate and a lot more I'll leave all
these specs of both mice in the description so that you can compare them and I'll also leave a
sample of the clicks at the end with them side by side so you can hear what the various sounds of
the two are like and how they sound different one thing of note though is that Roccat Kone XP uses
optical mouse switches which means it should last for longer and won't suffer from double
click issues now onto weight you'll see that the Superlight lives up to its name around 64 grams
the Kone XP meanwhile it's about 101 to 103 depending on where you put it on its scales
and that is obviously significantly heavier and with the wire you might find that it feels a
bit weightier than a wireless mouse so if you're looking for something lightweight
then the Superlight is it however I won't say that I feel like it's so heavy that it's negatively
impacted me moving from the Superlight to the Kone XP I feel like it's good enough design that is
not obnoxiously heavy and it's a comfortable mouse to use and it's resulted in this mouse being one
of my favorites for a number of different reasons first off the RGB lighting is fantastic secondly
I really like the ergonomics of it because the way it fits in your hand and the comfort of it offered
by the thumb rest and also the shape overall the access to the multitude of buttons and also that
easy shift technology being able to program in a secondary layer gives you the option to do all
sorts of things with macros and just extra buttons if you're into mmos or you just like to have loads
and loads of buttons to be able to program for use in fps or whatever games you're playing then the
Kone XP gives you a lot more flexibility in that area it's also surprisingly good for the money
in a number of different ways it's really easy on the eye and it's easy to use for both gaming
and working purposes I've been using this all day and night for quite some time now and I've been
thoroughly enjoying it and it's a great mouse to use now I'm going to give you a sample of what the
clicks and sounds of the mice are like side by side so you can hear those so stick with me be
