Cooler Master MM711 vs Roccat Kone Pro Air: Comparison

Cooler Master MM711 vs Roccat Kone Pro Air: the weight difference

Start with weight, because it is the widest measured gap between them: Cooler Master MM711 53 g against Roccat Kone Pro Air 75 g, 42% in favour of Cooler Master MM711.

Which should you buy, Cooler Master MM711 or Roccat Kone 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 the pick for ambidextrous or left-handed users and anyone who wants a wireless connection. It is equally the pick for anyone upgrading from a heavier ergonomic mouse without changing grip style. It is the wrong buy for players bothered by a perforated shell letting in dust and debris. Buy the Roccat Kone Pro Air for right-handed palm and claw grip users and players who want Bluetooth as a backup wireless mode, though it is not built for left-handed users 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 Kone Pro Air (8/10): A well-rounded ergonomic flagship let down slightly by a lower max DPI ceiling than top FPS rivals.
