Are there any alternatives?

For $100, there are more than plenty choices, especially if you’re looking for better performance. The Razer Viper 8KHz Ultralight retails for just $60 and has a maximum DPI of 20,000 and a polling rate of 8,000Hz. If you want to stick with Roccat, for $90, there’s the Kone XP, which features the same Titan switches, the Phantom Flex cable, heat-treated PTFE feet, and a scroll wheel that features left and right lateral movement.

　　

How long will it last?

The Roccat Burst Pro Air comes with a two-year warranty and between the TTC switches, Phantom Flex cable, and water- and dust-resistant shell, I’m confident this mouse will be operable for years.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes, without a doubt. The Roccat Burst Pro Air performs just as well as it looks, and for $100, you cannot go wrong. I wasn’t bothered by its slower polling rate and heavier build, but mouse enthusiasts tend to be very particular, especially when it comes to sensors.
