But its size, shape and weight wont be for everyone.
If you have small hands or crave top-draw performance, this wont be the mouse for you.
The body is very smooth with no texturing.
With that large size, though, comes a heavy 110g weight.
It also has a free spin function, activated by pressing the button above the DPI cycle.
The included USB cable is braided and light, so theres next to no drag when using it.
However, it doesnt seem as thick or as durable as those on other gaming mice.
Turtle Beachs peripheral software, Swarm 2, allows for numerous adjustments and customizations.
However, theres no setting labeled lift-off distance; instead, theres what Swarm 2 calls DCU Calibration.
Theres also the typical DPI configs, with five predefined points for you to adjust for cycling.
Gaming with the Kone 2 Air is a mixed experience.
That hefty weight the Kone 2 Air is saddled with only adds to the problem.
It prevents glides from being smooth and seamless.
Thankfully, the Easy Shift button is easy to reach and hit with your thumb.
The Kone 2 Air is a divisive gaming mouse, then.
Those with larger hands may prefer it more, thanks to its size and weight.
Compared to thebest wireless gaming mice, it sits towards the lower end of the market.
Its cheaper than popular offerings from Razer, including the DeathAdder V3 Pro.
That mouse, though, is capable of polling at8K(albeit requiring an additional adapter).
Then theres the Cooler Master MM311, our pick as the best gaming mouse for those on a budget.
It shares the same 1K polling rate as the Kone 2 Air, although its considerably lighter at 77g.
However, it has no inbuilt battery, requiring a AA instead.
Theres also no wired or Bluetooth modes available.

However, it too has no rechargeable battery and no Bluetooth connectivity.

I playedCounter-Strike 2, the litmus test for gaming mice, as well asBlack Mesa.
I have also reviewed numerous units, ranging in size, weight, performance and price.
