ROCCAT Kova Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2016-03-01

The new ROCCAT Kova reincarnation has been upgraded quite a bit by featuring a more comfortable shape, the top cover finish from the Nyth is also found here, an upgraded sensor with overdrive functionality thanks to the included 32-bit ARM processor but it is also paired with a powerful modular configuration software, the SWARM. The integration with Alienware technology does bring a bit of extra eye candy to the product so Kova can react to different game titles which support this feature or keyboard/mouse combos compatible with SWARM can talk one with the other in order to get similar lighting setups (remember RAZER Chroma?).

Packaging, A Closer Look

Back in 2010, we have had the pleasure to check out the first Kova mouse from ROCCAT, which did incorporate a 3200DPI optical gaming sensor, a V-shape ergonomic fit, 5(+2) buttons and a simple but cool lighting system. The mouse was driverless and did not come with any special application; the new Kova changes a lot of aspects regarding ergonomics, configuration, lighting system or sensor, but let’s take a closer look first at the packaging. The product is shipped inside a ROCCAT-themed cardboard enclosure, which features a similar shape as we have seen with previous products. On the top area, we will be able to see the mouse in operation, along with a small list of product highlights:
