The ROCCAT Kain 120 Aimo is a high-quality gaming mouse at a decent price. It has almost all the customization options you could ask for from DPI/CPI to polling rate, from scroll wheel to logo lighting. The unit has high-end Omron switches, and the scroll wheel has a nice tactile click when rotated. Moreover, the unit comes with proprietary software to program its abundant features as well as Easy-Shift[+] technology that allows the user to switch between remapped button configurations.

Dislikes


Given how complementary we have been about the ROCCAT, you might be wondering why it didn't do better in our evaluation. Make no mistake, this mouse is awesome. However, when compared to other high-end models, it just isn't as comfortable to grip, easy to use, or customizable as other models here reviewed. With that said, it does have the unique feature of having a manual DPI adjustment button on the top of the shell, which is kind of cool.
