Glide is usually praised as smooth and easy, though a few reviewers note small feet or some drag compared with more premium setups.

Glide performance is broadly praised, with PTFE feet and smooth movement highlighted across multiple reviews.

Grip texture is mixed: some reviewers liked the matte or grippy sides, while others found the smooth plastic slippery or lacking added grip material.

Grip texture is mixed: the body and grip tape help some users, but smoothness and included tape drew slipperiness complaints from others.

Handedness is a limitation: the shell is symmetrical or near-ambidextrous, but side buttons make it meaningfully right-hand oriented.

Handedness is a clear limitation because the Kone II is treated as a right-handed design and not ambidextrous.

Left and right click quality is a standout, with reviewers describing the main buttons as sharp, responsive, tactile, consistent, and well-made.

Left and right click quality is generally positive, with reviewers praising crispness, responsiveness, travel, and large main buttons, despite one mushier comparison.

Lift-off distance is mixed: one review criticized it as high, while others measured or experienced low lift-off that worked well for repositioning.

Lift-off distance support is only directly mentioned in one review, where the sensor can detect and adjust it through software.

Long-session comfort is one of the stronger comfort categories, with reviewers repeatedly reporting hours of use or long gaming sessions without fatigue or cramping.

Long-session comfort is mostly favorable because of the ergonomic shape, though smaller or medium hands can experience fatigue or fit issues.

Macro support is strong for a budget mouse because G Hub allows macros and commands across the six programmable controls.
