Cooler Master MM731 vs Roccat Kone Pro Air: which one fits your build

The Cooler Master MM731 is the one to take for budget shoppers chasing sub-50g wireless weight and ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users, though it is the wrong buy for buyers who dislike honeycomb/vented shells and palm grip users wanting a fuller shell. 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 the pick for left-handed users and competitive players wanting 8000Hz+ polling. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM731 (8/10): one of the best value-for-weight wireless mice available; it just lacks the sensor polish of pricier flagships. 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.
