If you're looking for a review on the Roccat Kone 2 Air, you should know that the Roccat brand has been assimilated under the Turtle Beach brand name. So I'm actually looking at the next iteration of the Kone Air, here, minus the associated Roccat branding. Got it? Cool.
The Turtle Beach Kone 2 Air is a wireless gaming mouse marketed as an ergonomic wonder with up to 350 hours of battery life. Everything on the box makes me very excited, because it looks like Turtle Beach has finally rounded out the Kone lineup with a chonky beast of a gaming mouse.
