I'm looking for a new mouse and I'm very curious about the Roccat Kone. I currently have a first version of the Logitech G5. I went and got a G9x but returned it because the shape was all wrong. I then tried 2 G500s (I loved all the buttons and placement) but there was a fatal flaw with both of these; they emitted a very high frequency squeal which I heard at arms length (much worse if you put it next to your ear). This is like a razor wire being pushed in one ear and pulled out the other in a continuous monotany of pure audio hell. Another minor gripe about the G500 is the sandpaper-like texture of where your thumb rests. I much prefer the smooth rubbery finish of the G5.
The most important question I have about the Roccat for anyone that owns one is if it emits any sort of high frequency? Can you hear anything even if you put it right next to your ear? This is very important because I'm in the US and the places to buy one of these seems limited. And the places that do sell them have very strict return policies (if they would even allow a return), costing me money in the end. Unless you know of somewhere other than performance-pcs.com or medusa-usa.com.
Finally, I assume I'd have no problem with the shape because it looks very similar to the G5?
Thanks for any insightful information.
