Mionix Caste vs Roccat Kone Pure (Gaming Mice)

Which is overall the better made and higher quality mouse? Anybody here have some hands on experience with either of them?

 

Been using the Logitech G600 for quite some time now but I'd like something that fits into my small hands a little better and feels more ergonomic for FPS.

 

Thanks :)

Castor = 3310 sensor

Kone Pure Standard = some random laser sensor (Laser is bad for FPS)

 

However the Castor's shape isn't for everybody and as a guy with medium sized hands I quite disliked the Kone due to the grip style. 

I'd suggest checking out the G303, the shape isn't for everybody but it's good for smaller hands and has a better sensor than both of these mice.

Go for the Mionix or Steelseries Reival 300.

Yeah Not a huge fan on the shape of the G303 ( I use a flat palm grip and I feel like half of my palm would be hanging over the edge of the mouse because of it's triangular shape) and I'm looking for something that isn't so flashy, I'm leaning towards the Mionix more because of it's matte Rubberized coating (Grip and size is a big issue I'm having with my current G600) plus the LED's are discrete enough that if I took it to work or something I wouldn't be embarrassed over the fact that my desk turns blue when I put my mouse down :P

 

If what you say is true about the sensor being better quality then I think the Mionix is the way to go :)

I've got a Rival 300, it's a similar mouse but I will give you fair warning that the sensor can bug on occasion, it'll aim either up or down in CS randomly for about 3s very rarely. The same sensor is on the Castor, so yeah.

It might be either an implementation issue with sensor on the Rival 300, or you just have a defective unit. If this was a common feature of this sensor (3310) all those pros would not be using Zowie Mice (most popular brand of mouse among csgo pros that all have the 3310)

It's common on the 300 and a lot of 3310-based mice 

 

@Aytex has a fnatic gear flick g1 and it does it for him
