I bought a Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye to replace my long-lived Logitech G9x. It's very small, very light, and all of the switches are consistent across the mouse. The G9x M3, M4, and M5 are fairly mushy whereas the Kone Pure Owl-Eye's M3, M4, and M5 have the exact same click as the two main buttons. The scroll wheel is slightly bigger than the G9x, has a more pronounced scroll tactility, and the material it is made of has bigger and less frequent grooves in them which makes it easier to keep clean. The Kone Pure Owl-Eye isn't as feature rich as other mice like the G9x but I don't personally need weights, physical scroll settings, or different grip types. I do miss the side scroll capability, but it's not a deal breaker.
Roccat Swarm is the software and it seems perfectly capable. Honestly though I only use it for DPI profiles, LED color, and updating firmware as I do not use macros or Swarm Connect and I do not own anything that is able to use AlienFX or Talk FX. I'd be more inclined to rig up AutoHotkey to do any macros that I might need anyway.
I must not be very tuned in to my own senses as I couldn't tell a difference between the G9x's ADNS-9500 laser sensor and the Kone Pure's PixArt 3361 "Owl-Eye" optical sensor both at 1600 dpi on a high quality Roccat Hiro (original not +) mousepad.

VerusAmicusI'm in the same boat, previously used the Logitech Optical Mouse (the OG "egg" mouse), CM Storm Xornet, Logitech G9, Logitech G303, and now using Roccat Kone Pure. We need more companies develop small form factor claw grip gaming mouse.
