Cooler Master MM711 vs Roccat Burst Pro Air weight compared

Which should you buy, Cooler Master MM711 or Roccat Burst Pro Air?

The Cooler Master MM711 is the one to take for right-handed palm and claw grip players wanting low weight and buyers who want a flagship sensor at a mid-range price, though it is not built for ambidextrous or left-handed users and anyone who wants a wireless connection. The same goes for anyone upgrading from a heavier ergonomic mouse without changing grip style. Avoid it for players bothered by a perforated shell letting in dust and debris. The Roccat Burst Pro Air suits ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users and fans of honeycomb/vented mouse shells, though it is not the pick for palm grip users wanting an ergonomic shape and competitive players wanting 8000Hz+ polling. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM711 (8/10): A genuinely light ergonomic mouse with flagship internals, and one of the best value picks for palm grip players who want low weight. Our rating of the Roccat Burst Pro Air (8/10): A solid honeycomb wireless option, best chosen alongside the Kone Pro Air based purely on preferred grip shape.
