  • In about 2013 I bought three e blue cobra juniors and they lasted me until now, bought a new one but sadly the Chinese company not only started using less quality components they stopped supplying Amazon, I figure it time to get something new and your review helped a lot thank you

  • 1 year later after use, its same as new no problems at all shape is great and switches are the same when i first bought it. Pros; Lasts for a long time and is very comfortable. Cons; Sensor is not the best LOD is really really bad but it's fine the sensor will still register at the height of a pinky finger.

  • Okay I end up buying the mouse so I'd like to add to something that no one talks about, the lift off distance while is not as bad as Razer Viper Mini (super high), but it's also not as good as most "top of the line" mouse. This one is like somewhere inbetween. So if you're like me who want the lowest lift off distance? Then I don't recommend getting this mouse. But if you don't care about lift off distance then don't worry about it.

    • Katar Pro uses a 3335 sensor which is stated to have an horrible LOD (that's why I don't like that sensor). The Pro XT has a 3391 which has a lower LOD. Some people think I'm crazy bothering about sensor nowadays, however there is no way I would buy a 3335 sensor mouse again unless I'm liking the design

    • @@TheSilverFX LOL maybe I'm crazy but.... I bought the Katar Pro XT and still find it too high LOL. I would say it's about "medium" height but maybe I'm used to "low" height on most mouse with adjustable LOD. I guess I'm sticking to mouse with adjustable LOD. :P

    • @@FusionMusic I ordered it this morning, I'll get it later this week. It can't be really worse than the 3335's LOD I guess. Same goes with the 3359 in the Viper Mini which I don't like the LOD either. The best LOD I've seen comes from the Mountain Makalu 67, but at some point I would even say it's too low LOL

Roccat Kone Pure has high, normal, low, super low. I'm using low, super low is way too low basically the moment I lift the mouse by a tiny bit it stops tracking LOL. So yes I agree there is actually too low.
