Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
It doesn’t matter whether you’re left or right handed, you use a PC or a Mac, or you’re a fan of red, blue or green – the ROCCAT Kova satisfies any wish; and it does all that without you needing to install additional drivers. With this component of the ROCCAT SDMS, another foundation stone has been laid for feature-packed, efficient gaming.
As part of the ROCCAT SDMS, the Kova has been fine-tuned for pure performance. The mouse can be configured just by pressing simple button combinations – and all without the need for drivers. For instance, the dpi resolution can be increased from 400 to 800, 1600 or even 3200dpi without needing to go through the tedious process of configuring the software – and it’s just as easy to switch between right and left handed mode. The 5(+2) mouse buttons come preset with the most important functions for all the latest games and applications.

If you are thinking of buying this mouse you should be aware that there are a few problems that may arise if you are using Windows 7. As this mouse comes with its drivers built it there are no driver updates for it on the Roccat website and although they claim this mouse works with Windows 7 it seems to have a few minor compatibility problems. In my case 90% of the time when I turn my computer on I have to disconnect the mouse and reconnect it to get it working again - though this isn't really a big deal and only takes approximately 5 seconds it can be ever so frustrating if you don't have easily accessible front USB ports.
If you do and don't mind the initial troubleshooting you may have to do to get this mouse functioning then I would definitely suggest it. Its light, comfortable and responsive and comes with features both useful (like the changeable dpi - good for photoshop then Modern Warfare 2) and ascetic (changing the colour and "pulse" of light). So far I'm pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to friends - its somewhat difficult Windows 7 functionality is the only reason it gets 4/5 instead of 5/5 from me.

As a forty something gamer, I have used and keep searcing for a good mouse. Like many left handers, finding a comfortable gaming mouse is quite tricky. The plus points are as follows - good balance and weight, very precise, the packaging is overdone.
The negatives are - the scroll wheel clicks (more like jumps) so not good for gamers who prefer a smooth scroll wheel, the buttons on the right of the mouse are not recognised by many games, as you insert the mouse you have to hold down buttons for left handed configuration, however, this means that when you use windows the buttons become transposed - left is right and right is left which is annoying, changing dpi is fiddly. There is no mouse driver so no configuration at the software level is possible. Changing dpi is also via series of holding down buttons which is not practical during games. As the other review states - compatibility issues - running XP with SP3 the mouse is not recognised at boot up - you have to unplug it and plug it in again - no drivers to update so this is very annoying.
All in all disappointed, I would not class this a true left handed mouse - more of a an ambidextrous option. I will stick with my Trust Predator for now and keep searching and keep paying.

Like it's been said, there are some compatibility issues with windows seven, since I also have the initializing bug. I also would like to mention that the lights are cool but after a while and especially while in gaming, the mouse tends to heat up a bit, thus becoming a little uncomfortable.
