Roccat Gaming Mice

I own both the Roccat Tyon and the Nyth. I love Roccat's innovative and forward thinking hardware designs allowing for far more custom configurations than most other mice out there, but I have to say that the software experience has always been quite frustrating. The Nyth is currently my daily driver, which utilizes the Swarm software. The UI is okay and mostly intuitive, but I have had trouble with keybindings and macros actually working while in game. For instance, in Arma 3, I use the TFAR (Task Force Arrowhead Radio) mod and the key combination to open the short wave radio is CTL+P. This seems like a simple request, and my standard keyboard and Razer Orbweaver handle it without issue, but I have a really hard time getting the Swarm software to execute it consistently. This also applies to the long range radio, which is ALT+P. Ive tried several different ways if setting it up in the software including selecting the "hot key" + P as well as just recording the macro straight off of my keyboard. Ultimately, I decided to just let my Razer Orbweaver due the more complex tasks while just keeping simple keybindings on the Nyth. The hardware is excellent, but the software leaves a lot to be desired.

Yeah, the software has been frustrating. It's definitely not a program you play around with. Once you finally get it to work, just leave it! Lol. I can't recommend them either. I love the physical designs and the customize-able nature of them, but the software is a deal breaker. If they could fix the software issues, then they would be great products. The laser sensor in the Nyth does seem to have tracking issues also. Not sure if that's hardware or software related though. If they could replace it with a top-rated optical sensor and make the software experience consistent, then I would be happy. I currently feel stuck with my Nyth as I search for something better with as many buttons.
