Ice Leopard (ROCCAT) Spooky Leopard Kova Gaming Mouse (White)

★Preface:

If the player who follows the pit peripheral soon mentions the name of the ice leopard, most of them will answer you do not know. In fact, there is nothing strange. At the beginning, ROCCAT’s publicity in the country was not as intensive as it is now. It has always left a feeling like a niche brand. The three major plants that may not be familiar with the Asian market are famous, but North America has higher awareness and sales. Putting aside price considerations, everyone would have to admit that every mouse case that came out of the Leopard Factory has inherited extraordinary details. The genes that are hard to design are immutable, and they have gone out of their own characteristics. Today is the 2016 KOVA Ghost Leopard upgrade version that was brought to us by Kova+ four years ago. The brand new look and different chips will be the new beginning. Let's slowly look down.

★ Unpacking:

The combination of blue-gray and black boxes is not low-key, some of the supported technologies and indicators are printed on the front of the envelope, while the volume is reduced. At the same time, the opening can only be done at the bottom, changing the design of the flip-top style.


The packaging on the side and back side is a rough introduction to the functional parameters. There is a certain amount of praise in Chinese, such as the 32-bit ARM MCU, the new integrated SWARM driver software, and the Pro-Optic Sensor R6 sensor.


The accessories are very simple, a mouse, a guide book, foot stickers or stickers are not the same.


★ appearance details:


The overall appearance of the KOVA Spooky Leopard is based on pulling the wind sports car, giving people a dynamic sense of the angle, belonging to a sighted type of poisoning. In addition to keeping the outline of the old Kova+, the 2016 version is more stylish. The front protrudes like a hedgehog. Generally, the position of two side keys is relatively high. When you click, it is easy and convenient to click. It is a sense of heavy plastic. By changing the driver to be a shortcut, you can achieve a multiplier effect in the game. It is a pity that the LOGO is only engraved in the form of a simple dark English font. It has discarded the totem symbolizing the forcing of the leopard, and has wasted the genius as the motto of the motto. The author thinks that this item should be reduced. It is not known that this place will not fall out of paint as time goes by.


The connection line is made of woolen woven wire, easy to shape, and the brand's totem is designed on the front and back. The USB connector does not have a standardized gold plating and it should not be.


From the left side, the side skirts that appear to be the first to come into view as if they are modular are actually fixed and cannot be dismantled, and the coating on the surface is better in anti-skid. Let me worry about the white shell paint can not fade it! So the white is really called love and hate. In addition, there are some burrs on the corners of the tiles, and the middle gaps are likely to retain hand mud. The two side keys are soft to the touch and the sound is slightly boring, then the fretting of the two index finger keys is very crisp, the key process is slightly longer, and the materials are all frosted. Large-size design, operation is effortless, location is in place, my 19CM thumb completely covered before and after the button, there is no problem can not reach.


On the other side, the right side and the left side have the same layout. KOVA 2016, which is designed for a symmetrical rat, does not have the feel of a side edge hand like a lamp factory placenta. The main ice leopard side key is not convex with a line on the upper shell. From this point on, if the ring finger does not feel comfortable in this position, it will not work. The waist of the middle admittance is not very large, but the proper inner contraction and the design of the wings of the arc make the little finger finally have a comfortable nest, and the fullness is relatively good. The increase in the coefficient of friction in the case of a large-scale movement of the mouse makes the likelihood of a fall lower.


The visual front angle is not very much like a cool super run at high speed, and the side keys are decorated with a pair of respiring Xenon headlights. This KOVA can sit on the ice leopard history. This is a relatively nice-looking product that ranks in the top two. Should be no dispute, then selling is quite eye-catching. The front depressed chassis exudes a wild, unrestrained wild atmosphere, and the lower interface is designed with a pull-out force reduction ring to ensure that it will not strike in a fierce game.


Because of the extra two-finger forefinger keys, the area of ​​the primary key area is compressed accordingly. I mean that the middle finger is medium and thin, and it feels uncomfortable. I just use the flat wide buttons to get a little bit of design. It is not yet adaptable. The primary and secondary keys are not the same, the left keystroke is slightly longer, the rebound is rapid, the right key is slightly soft, and the elasticity is generally spoken. ROCCAT's new KOVA white version is a skin-like finish with a delicate and soft touch, but it is not the same as most other skin-like coatings. The smoother coating on the surface is even and flawless, without traditional skin textures. The disgust of India and the flaws of the fingerprint collector.


Behind the bottom of the position changes greatly, designed a half-turn of the backlight bar, support for the exchange of 16.8 million color RGB, the effect of the evening is quite beautiful. Ice Leopard always does not follow the rules. There are trees, most manufacturers will put the brand's totem in the middle of the place, and Leopard really put the mascot and English letters are all printed on the top, I still miss the Kone Pure period leopard head Totem. Now that all of them have been put on, it feels too cluttery and concise. The apex of the upper shell looks straight, the rear angle of the arc is smaller, and the method of approaching the edge of the chassis leads to a floating sensation in the center of the palm, and the fullness is slightly lacking. From this angle you can easily identify the phantom leopard is a symmetry design based on the rat, the waist on both sides of the waistline to tighten the style, control is very light.


There are five feet of Teflon material on the bottom shell. The size is relatively large. The shape is clearly the animal's small claws. The middle of the Pro-Optic Sensor R6 optical sensor, in fact, is the original 3320 engine, up to 7000DPI. As the Dachang nameplate is also the same serious, some like the origin, design country, SN number are clearly marked on the top.


Compared with Kone Pure and Kone XTD products before the Leopard Plant, especially the feeling of the edges and corners on both sides of the front face of the new phantom leopard, the feeling of vagueness reveals a man's spirit. Slightly inadequate because the upper and lower shells are of a connected design, the splicing lines below the key sheet are clearly visible, which destroys the overall sense to some extent. As for the consistency of the mouse left and right keys of another separate button, the appearance of such an integrated button like KOVA is more uniform and beautiful, and the optimization of the feel is more tolerant than the former.


KOVA's wheels are made of thick soft rubber material in the middle, but they are not equipped with a non-slip texture. A combination of PVC transparent strips is designed on both sides. The position of the opening is slightly lower, the scale of the wheel is more moderate, and the noise is slightly larger when turning up. The latter one is the DPI switch button, which can be adjusted in no-drive state. This is the benefit of on-board memory.


Regardless of the 130mm size given by the official or the specter of the human eye, the leopard is a medium-long product. It is optimistic that the length is not large, and the width of the ROCCAT's own mouse is also considered as a narrow mouse. When it was first acquired, KOVA thought that Leopard Factory will continue to design NYK interchangeable components. The above design will go further and further. Obviously I was wrong, but it has returned to the traditional design structure. The modular price is not acceptable to the average player. of.


Ranking in terms of size: kone pure ranked fourth, KOVA ranked third, Mionix SK ranked second, TYON ranked first


★Drive:

Ice Leopard's official website often convulsed to download and always fail, are caused by the server in foreign countries, and later to find the Chinese customer service to drive. After the installation is complete, the program version must be updated with the latest version of the firmware before it can be used. The Chinese-language interface is very friendly. ROCCAT's SWARM integrated drive, which was launched in the second half of 2015, does not require different mouse downloading of different programs as before. However, it currently supports only KOVA2016, NYTH, and Kiro. More follow-up will be added. Peripheral model. Various functions on the home page are very rich, advanced settings are distributed: refresh rate 125hz-1000hz can be adjusted, the following ORIENTATION direction change, LEFT on behalf of the edge, RIGHT is on the right, a simple understanding is that the left and right buttons are interchangeable, you can also reset the previous drive . The backlight system on the right provides full lighting, breathing and flickering effects. The color can be adjusted between no/color flow, RGB, and the speed can be switched between three levels: slow, medium, and fast.


The button designation interface is divided into the functions of two groups of standard buttons and EASY-SHIFT [+]. The Leopard Factory exclusive developed EASY-SHIFT[+] tool, which is similar to the use of FN and the SHIFT key on the keyboard. It is much more powerful than the ordinary shortcut keys. There are many items to be set, and they are not introduced one by one. Slowly groping, it helps a bit in office or games. The bottom of the interface supports the adjustment of five groups of configuration files. The SWARM CONNECT at the top is still in the R&D stage. Afterwards, the SWARM program available on the mobile phone can be installed. It can also be adjusted without the PC. What is the macro command is complete support.


In the setting items like the speed of the scroll wheel, the page turning speed, and the double click speed, the user can set according to preferences. The right DPI provides five steps of adjustment, each time can be 250 speed steps, the player can be in 250-7000 Between the settings, retains the 400DPI value of the FPS game gold, quite human.


★ dismantling:

The four feet in the four corners of the chassis are torn off, the middle of the tail without the use of screws without screws, I can not fully open the four screws, check, there is no buckle, and later on the nameplate near the connection line Two other screws were found in the position, and these screws were removed. The entire upper and lower shells were separated. PS: can only be used to keep the DIY feet posted for a long time, after the demolition of the original can not be used to scrap.


Remember to remove the top case as much as possible, to prevent the disconnection of the connection from tearing. The complexity of this top shell is second only to Logitech. The top shell and middle shell that are fixed in the cartridge can actually be dismantled. However, the author's time is tight and there is no detail removal. The work on the shell is still good. The cross-shaped and letter-shaped button columns on both sides of the index finger keys and the primary and secondary keys are very thick, and the life can be extended for some time. Under the episode, after the dismantling, one of the front has been slippery, and it can be used not seriously.


The tail is equipped with a semi-circular milky white transparent plastic that spreads the backlight evenly, so there is no difference in brightness.


The small PCB of the top shell adopts the connection of the connection lines, the four side keys are the red dots of the TTC, and the DPI is the fine movement of the white dot of the TTC.


The end of the board is designed with a LED strip, and it supports RGB 16.8 million color switching. Another lamp is on the roller.


The light blue PCB is distributed with a large number of patch devices. The board is not neatly trimmed and slightly burrs. Under the black cloth is the engine, which has the effect of avoiding light, so that stray light will not enter the sensor.


The solder joints on the back side of the circuit board are fuller and fuller. There are no traces of manual soldering at the end of the circuit board. The above figure number should be the part number and the like.


Above is a NXP LPC11U24F master, the engine is the original phase PMW3320, we have been familiar with it, and more for the middle mouse.


The two index finger keys are the TTC white point micro switch, which is flexible and the keys are not brittle. Roller for patch micro-motion,.


The left and right buttons use the OMRON 7N[RT] white point micro switch, which is rarely seen on the market. It should be a pure customized version, and the sound is hard and brittle.


★ Compatibility Test:

Tiger Promise / Tiger Fu Yu Jian Shou / metal pad / Hu Fu Jin Wu / Tt eSPORTS DK Through the above several mat testing, compatibility is not a matter, regardless of the game or daily applications are more smooth, no pointer drift or dropped frames in the test The problem is that the driver does not have an open LOD control function. This is a deficiency.


★ backlight:

The lighting system with a white appearance is simply beautiful!

Multi-angle close-up, LOGO light is invincible bird

★ use experience:

In terms of size, the specter can be divided into symmetrical medium and long-sized products, and the volume is not large. Personally, it feels that it is absolutely the most beautiful mouse that was designed before 2015. It is not one of them. For the feel: The white version I got at the beginning was more frightened, because the previous instructions told me that it was easy to turn yellow and pro, but I did not find such signs during this period of time. The entire KOVA's grip is not too full, the leaner two-sided fingers grip comfortably and feel comfortable. The operation is quite comfortable and free. The shell's long-lasting stifle use keeps a dry surface. The comfortable and delicate coating makes I am not willing to change other mouse, let it become the main force of my desktop. This custom 7N [RT] micro-motion really harder than the average 10M, but I as an FPS player, so hard is not the kind of hard dead feel is acceptable, a more complete sense of confirmation. The taillights are too short to deal with the edges, and there are empty senses in the hands. Not so much love.


★Summary:


To say that this year's international manufacturers can be a lot of new products in the ice leopard, just released at the Computex2015 Electronics Show NYTH flagship, Aluma in-ear headphones, Sova keyboard and several mats, as well as the second half of the combo KOVA and Kiro gaming mouse Wait. The diligent attitude is more obvious, it was difficult to see in the past. Take the new Panther leopard alone as an example. The faintness of this German leopard can only be felt from the end of the product. Although the brand's reputation in the player's mind is not as strong. Sairui and other brands, but as long as people who have used the ROCCAT mouse will tell you in the end that you have finally found the most comfortable partner. At the same time, there is another kind of sound, that is, what good things are good at the Leopard Factory, the price does not move for a second, in fact, the positioning of the reason can not be as priceless as domestic brands, is not in line with the strategic deployment. Most of the previous products were more than 450. The price of the new KOVA 399 cannot be said to be cheap, but it also has a good feel for a good-looking appearance. This is a new choice. Of course, it is not so perfect, the accessories are relatively simple and leaky, the stickers are invisible, the packaging box is too soft and easy to break, and the tail is slightly shorter. The individual is full of expectation for the follow-up products.
