Roccat Tyon review: Winner of "Most Buttons, 2015 Edition"

The Roccat Tyon is an excellent 14-button mouse for those who can't get used to the Naga's numpad-style design.

So many buttons ; Easy-Shift modifier key is sorely missed when returning to competing devices

Some awkward button placements ; Takes forever to set up, if you want to tap its full potential

The Roccat Tyon wins PCWorld's 2015 Award for Most Buttons, but a few aspects could use some fine-tuning.

Roccat Tyon

The Roccat Tyon is brimming with features, including innovations you won't find on other gaming mice, but for the fullest experience, you'll need to pair it with a Roccat keyboard.

Innovative features, like the Dorsal Fin button and an analog thumb-paddle. Conveniently placed thumb button opens up dozens of customizable features.

Pricey. Some features unusable without Roccat keyboard. Some buttons awkwardly placed.

Conclusion The Roccat Tyon is a very good gaming mouse on its own, but it's at its best when paired with a Roccat keyboard, like the Ryos MK Pro. If you're already a Roccat user, that's very good news, but if your battle station is cobbled together...

Roccat Tyon: So many buttons!

Roccat's Tyon is one of the most hardcore gaming mice we've ever seen. With 14 physical buttons, the mouse definitely isn't for casual gamers. Does it hit all the right marks as a hardcore gaming mouse though?

Tons of customizable buttons ; Looks great ; X-celerator paddle great for some games ; Easy Shift [+] key essentially doubles the available buttons

Confusing configuration software ; Slippery with sweaty palms ; Dorsal Fin placement could be better ; Some buttons might be tricky to reach while gaming ; Only for right-handers

The Roccat Tyon is one of the best gaming mice you can buy. The sheer number of options it gives you is incredible, enough to make any gamer drool. The configurable buttons, the customizable DPI and the X-celerator paddle only adds to the things the...

ROCCAT Tyon Gaming Mouse Review

Gaming mice have remained more or less the same for quite a while. Well with the mouse we are taking a look at today we have at least two new features that I've

– Great overall feel ; – New thumb paddle and dorsal fin-switch are actually useful ; – RGBA illumination ; – ROCCAT Driver and Easy-Shift[+] functionality ; – Can be used for different types of games

– None that I found

I have been using the Tyon for about 3 weeks now and I really like it. The overall feel and grip of the mouse is good and you can start gaming right away with it no problem. Now if you are going to want to use the thumb paddle, dorsal fin-switch or...

Roccat Tyon Review

A few years ago Roccat created the basis for one of the best gaming mice we have ever tested, the Kone. It proved to be a very popular mouse and over the time since then Roccat have revised the design and specification a number of times, tailoring it...

Starting with the build quality of the Tyon we have a sturdy feeling mouse. It feels solid when we put a lot of pressure on the body and we noted no defects on the finish. Moving the lighting to the bottom edge of the mouse is a nice touch as far as...

Roccat Tyon

A mouse with 16 buttons all of which are actually useful!

All those extra buttons are actually easy to use ; Overall performance is excellent ; Extra buttons really enhance certain games and apps ; Lighting looks great

Ergonomics is good but not the best ; Software is slow and takes forever to apply settings ; It is expensive

Good ergonomics, a nice design and bucket loads of useful features make this mouse a real contender. It is pricey, though, so it’s worth having a think if you’ll likely use all those extras.

Labs Brief: Roccat Tyon

R occat's latest mousing experiment is, sadly, a very mixed bag. On the one hand, the Tyan has a truly rich array of remarkably well-placed buttons and switches. They are easy to reach and actuate, and offer a lot of options for fans of macros, or...

Too expensive, too flawed.
