long story

i reach UK early june and in order to buy online, i need to set up bank acc here and that took me around 2 weeks plus almost 3 weeks. then i didnt know that to recieve parcel here in my hostel, i need to inform the receptionist and sign a form. therefore, it took 2 days to reach. if not of that, it would only take 1 day. order today reach tomorrow.

so overall it took around a month or so to get this mouse

i use DPD. i was amaze how their tracking system works. it was very details. from what i saw, most ppl here use royal mail to ship their stuff but in my case, royal mail was the a lil expensive. hence, i choose DPD


nope. they are fast and also their tracking system is alot better than poslaju

here is how their tracking system works:

pos laju is not crap. their service are quite okay and fast too imo. but then i also cant judge DPD service too coz i only used it once. but i really like their tracking system

Here is some pictures as promise

The Package


Kone


Taito


One thing for sure is that the packaging for Kone is superbly stunning beautiful. at first i really didnt wanted to open the package anyway, after opening it and after using for several hours, i really felt nice and it just fit into my hands quite naturally. although like madman mention, its heavy, imo, its still okay for my normal usage and gaming. and the scroll button is damn hard at the moment. hopefully will soften after a while using it. the driver and software is just amazing. it has so many features in it and this makes it easy for me to customize it to my needs (although i havent test or tried out all the feature on the software ). one thing im curious about is the TCU (Tracking Control Unit). not sure, whether it really works or just to show off

For Taito, imo it really look like a normal mouse mat. nothing special about it. to me, not much difference compared to Titan. but for only £9.99, i think its quite worth it for the size (400*320mm).

btw, i heard quite some feedback about the scroll wheel breaking down. hopefully mine doesnt

yup mine is the same as yours. only 1 CD.

i cant really compared taito with titan now. coz my titan is back in malaysia

but from what i tried, taito surface should be smoother. but then i think titan has thicker mat



the mouse pad actually looks and feel like most mat out there. maybe im noob or what but i dont really feel there is any difference. but im taito surface is really smooth and for that large mat, its worth the money. too bad, its not available in malaysia

you waited for around a month plus edi right? is it normal to wait that long for international shipping?

maybe you open it up and try and compare it. coz i dont have my titan with me so i cannot be 100% sure that taito is smoother

indeed is quite heavy but im kinda used to it edi

btw, is it possible to share a qucik review comparing both ikari laser and kone? just curious

go buy lo

iinm, OcUK does international shipping


come to think about it, it does really look alike

not him again

btw, i just saw from OcUK has kone V2
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=KB-003-RC
but i check roccat website and i couldnt find any info about V2 there

just bought V1 not long ago and now this comes out

but from the feature it seems to be the same like mine. hopefully its just a change of packaging only

hmmm.... why do we need more than 1 mouse for a system?

imo bungee is for ppl who like using diff mouse for diff application

im going to test a sharkoon fire glider today later my friend bought one and arriving today

hopefully it is a good mouse

its either me or my friend will post it

but i certainly excited to test it out

the sharkoon is here but need to RMA

plug it in cannot detect

my friend got it in the UK. scan.co.uk

btw, its not mine. its my friend. but then when he try to plug in the mouse, his pc cannot detect

i have personally tested fireglider. i would say its a nice and smooth mouse. its light in weight but one thing about the back of the mouse where the weight is put, the cover gets stuck every time i try to open it. i guess after a while it will get loose. the fire touching is awesome. i personally like it better than a4tech's one which looks like a snake skin.

about response time, i didnt really test it on any games. for normal usage i would say it is really good and the best part is the price. for a 3600dpi mouse, the price is indeed very cheap. plus its dpi can be reduce until 600dpi which alot of mouse cant do that low. although i dont know why people need such low dpi. but at least it gives more option to choose from.

overall if you have a low budget for a gaming mouse, fireglider is the way to go

yeah, its a german brand product made in china
