![]() ![]() In fact, I think I would prefer a mouse with a large hump placed toward the rear rather than the middle of the mouse. It seems that the extra 6 mm in length and 1 mm in height make a noticeable difference. The dimensions of the two are almost identical: l x w x h of the Elite = 127 x 70 x 44 mm whereas the Rival 300 = 133 x 70 x 45 mm. One interesting observation about the feel of the DA Elite vs that of the SS Rival 300 is that the Rival feels just about right for my palm grip, whereas the Elite feels ever so slightly too low in height and too short in length. For one thing, IMO it is the best-looking of the 20 or so mice I have tested thus far. However, overall, I consider the DA Elite a keeper. I also do not like the fact that to use all the features of the Synapse software spyware, it is necessary to log in. The rattle is not noticeable during normal use, but it makes this mouse seem less solid than the Steelseries Rival 300, which has no rattle at all. but It has some rattle when tapping the top. The scroll wheel is better, but it persists in making a slight noise when scrolling up. They have made some relatively minor improvements over the DA Chroma, and I do like the Elite better than the Chroma. In the meantime, I have tested the Razer Deathadder Elite. Looks like they have done that in the Kova design, but I think the Kova would be too small for me. If they must have RGB lighting, I wish they would locate it somewhere that would not come in contact with the hand. However, I previously tested the XTD predecessor to the EMP, and its downfall for me was the plastic used in the illuminated stripes, which imparts a sticky feel. I've been thinking of testing their relatively new Kone EMP, which is in the larger size range that might work for me. In particular, Roccat knows how to make an excellent scroll wheel, and I respect them for providing explicit support for linux. Roccat mice have a number of good features. Thanks for sharing the pics and impressions of your Roccat Kova. ![]()
