Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Logitech MX Master 2S and Roccat Kain 120 AIMO, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, mice have different utilization aim, MX Master 2S is meant to be Business mouse while Kain 120 AIMO, instead, Gaming mouse. The MX Master 2S is older, 7 years old, being released in the 2017, while the other one is younger, 5 years old, being released in the 2019. The production age difference is 2 year(s). This makes the Kain 120 AIMO a bit more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to Kain 120 AIMO mouse, MX Master 2S is ~2.00 mm (or ~0.08 in) Longer, ~21.00 mm (or ~0.83 in) Wider and ~6.00 mm (or ~0.24 in) Higher, which makes it, overally, 29 mm (or 1.14 in) significantly bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, Logitech MX Master 2S is 41% heavier, a difference of 60.80 g (0.13 lbs), which can be considered very significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip by MX Master 2S while Kain 120 AIMO has Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip; this last one can be considered more adaptable, with a number of grip possibilities equal to 3 instead of the 2 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Logitech MX Master 2S sensor with the one of Roccat Kain 120 AIMO. The two mice do not share the same sensor technology, that is Laser for the first one, Optical for the second one; they also have different sensor model: Darkfield equipped by MX Master 2S and PMW3381 used by Kain 120 AIMO. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the MX Master 2S provides 3800 DPI/CPI, while Kain 120 AIMO offers 15900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the last one has way larger range. Consider picking up the one having the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, Kain 120 AIMO is offering 75% better Max Resolution, 12000 More DPI/CPI.

Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

MX Master 2S has a Polling Rate of 125 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 8.00 ms, while Kain 120 AIMO is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 88% better Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of MX Master 2S shows an higher value, 2.4 mm, a moderate difference of 0.40 mm. Anyway, Kain 120 AIMO offers adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Logitech MX Master 2S has higher click latency than Roccat Kain 120 AIMO, a consistent difference of 5.90 ms, 42% worse Click Latency, which can be evaluated significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of Kain 120 AIMO is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, MX Master 2S has a shift latency of 18.76 ms which can be considered not so good, compared to a medium quality mouse.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with the same Switch Technology, Omron; moreover, they have the same life span of 50 millions clicks. The Feet Material is the same, PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 7 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the feature offered by Logitech MX Master 2S is Adjustable Scroll-Wheel Resistance, while Roccat Kain 120 AIMO is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
