Closer Look

   

At first glance at the ROCCAT Tyon quickly shows that this is a harmonius and ergonomically shaped gaming mouse. This mouse has been built to fulfil the needs of right-handed people. In addition to that, the ROCCAT Tyon features a very grippy surface with a dark green/black matte finish. The materials used are of excellent quality, and even the softouch surface is well made and very comfortable. At the back of the Tyon there is the ROCCAT logo while the left profile features the printed name of the company. The central part of the mouse is made from softtouch material while the side parts share a different grip.
The ROCCAT Tyon features no less than 16 buttons and they are all well placed and easy to reach. Unlike other manufacturers, ROCCAT did not place too many buttons on the top of the mouse but only a dorsal two-way fin, very easy to access since it is not necessary to actually lift the palm of your hand in order to reach it. Another pair of buttons are placed at the front part of the mouse, both on left and right side. If the hand rests entirely on the shape of the Tyon, even the thumb has a dedicated area surrounded by four buttons.
The strength of the Tyon is definitely the innovative two-way joystick placed on the left side called the "X-Celerator" and accessible by your thumb. This particular switch is designed for the FPS and for games that require you to drive any sort of vehicle.
Like other products from ROCCAT, the TYON also implements the RAD technology and the ROCCAT Talk FX.

Back



ROCCAT decided to equip the Tyon with a Pro-Aim R3 sensor. The maximum resolution is 8200 DPI, which is more than enough for any kind of gamer. The laser sensor is placed at the center and if you are looking for additonal weight, you will be disappointed, since there aren't any. Netto weight of this mouse is 126g, which puts it a middleweight category. ROCCAT decided to provide the Tyon with big glide pads, which are positioned in a symmetrical manner. Furthermore, the glide pads are made from teflon, which means these will definitely last a very long time. A closer look at the cable reveals that it has been braided and the plug shows the model of the product.
