Heads up PC gamers, Turtle Beach has just officially released the latest and greatest set of Kone PC gaming mice for those looking for an upgrade.
Previously released under the ROCCAT label (Turtle Beach acquired ROCCAT a few years back), the duo of new hardware includes the wireless Kone II Air and the wired Kone II gaming mice. Yes, they both have some neat LED lighting, a 4D scroll wheel, a ton of multi-function buttons with advanced optical sensors and switches, but one of the other highlights would be the new multi-grip design which is accommodating for those who also may prefer alternative grip styles.
Both products are available in ash black or arctic white colors, with the Kone II Air retailing for $119.99 and the wired version $69.99. We’re in the process of evaluating the new products, though for now get a look at the product launch video and additional details from Turtle Beach.
