I got a Roccat kone pro wired black mouse and its the best mouse i had in my life !
But i want to buy a spare mouse and i cant find the same mouse anywhere since Roccat is no more and turtle beach bought em.

Do anyone know where i can buy the mouse ?

Or what mouse is similar to the roccat kone pro wired ??

I dont need a 10 botton phone mouse :D
 
I thought I had a Kone still in the box, but I just looked and it's a Kova. I'd part with it if it's a model that you think you'd like - otherwise the answer to "where can I find one?" is likely to be the old standbys: eBay, FS/FT forums, or maybe a retailer that still has old stock (YMMV).

Knowing what features that you liked specifically would help narrow down a possible replacement. What is it that you like so much about the Kone? The shape, size, button placement, wheel, special features, etc.? Oftentimes there isn't a modern 1:1 replacement for older mice that we loved, but there's usually something close enough to be happy with (like in the case of the Logitech G400 vs MX518).
 
No thanks im looking for similars :)
I like the light weight and the bottons and the whole grip it has. Also the sides with the thumb bottons i like alot.
Then the RGB is also good but if a smilar mouse dosent have rgb then its ine. And it MUST be wired.

I found the roccat pure cel mouse that looks like it.
https://eu.turtlebeach.com/products/pure-sel-mouse#TechSpecs
But its a bit smaller. like 4-5 mm but i think that will still do. It only got 200 ips and the kone pro has 400 ips.
The average seems to be 300 ips. But i was wondering if 200 was good enough ? Its a bit of a downgrade but i realy dont play shooters. Im more in to mmorpg and diablo games.
Then it only has 8000 dpi where the kon epro has 14000 or so but then again i only use 500 dpi. Im 47 yo gamer, so speed isent a thing anymore :D

I might buy the turtle beach pure cel
Then there is kone 2 https://eu.turtlebeach.com/products/kone-ii-mouse?Color=Black
But i dislike that + botton at the thumb finger but beside that it looks great !

So any mouse like these 3 i would like to know if exist ?
Or if anyone got more info on the pure cell or the kone 2
or have the same mouse ?

I once had logitech mouse but i find the bottons a bit to flimsey to press compared to roccat/turtlebeach mouse that just feels sturdy !
 
Much more helpful! :)

This is just my opinion, but the IPS/DPI numbers are largely irrelevant for most folks. We've been watching the DPI "arms race" play out for a couple of decades now, with the latest mice boasting huge numbers...but I recently dug out an old wireless Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 to use with my work laptop and to my surprise it felt just fine. I don't still have the box for it, but according to Gemini it has 1,000 DPI and a paltry 72 IPS...yet it performs great and keeps up with the 4K resolution w/out a problem. So I wouldn't get too hung up on that, and agree that 200+ is likely going to be good enough.

There are probably several mice that would fit the bill, but unfortunately I'm only really familiar with what is available in NA. Several months ago, I was on a EU hardware review site and ended up going down a rabbit hole checking out several reviews of gaming mice that didn't have distribution channels in the US. You guys have some neat options and different brands that we don't get over here! But as far as button placement and size/shape, there are almost always 3-4 to choose from in a given segment because the mouse manufacturers tend to copy ideas from each other. For example, if you were looking for an ambidextrous mouse roughly 120mm x 65mm, there might be one from SteelSeries, one from Zowie, one from Razer and one from Logitech that just differ mainly in terms of construction and special features like that + button on the Pure SEL.

BTW I know what you mean about button presses feeling flimsy, but I wouldn't necessarily rule one brand entirely out based purely on that. The reason is that the mouse manufacturers will sometimes use various types of switches for different mice. Razer for example uses optical switches in some of their higher-end mice, while still employing mechanical switches in others. I can confirm that these have very different tactile sensations.

Good luck; I miss the days of Turtle Beach having an enthusiast presence here in the US!

I miss Roccat :)
They just made good mouse or do you say Mice ? :D

Im gona look for the Kone 2 since it has all the good specs and im a sucker for high end specs.
It is also a bit bigger and bigger is better right haha
 
I got the Steelseries Rival 650 and really like it. The 600 is the wired only version.
 
Steelserie also makes good products and i bet its a great mouse but i dont like the chasis of it.
With all the space between the rgb lines.

That is why im im still looking at the Kone 2 since it also has these rgb lines.
But they are more toward the sides if you know what i mean.
 
I'm still using my Roccat Kone XTD and its been my favourite mouse since 2015. Love the feel and weight of the mouse and also the fact that you can use the scroll wheel as forward/back buttons when browsing or in file explorer makes life easier.
