This groundbreaking technology works like a dream together with our exclusive Easy-Shift[+] technology.

Your Kone[+] will even signal you with a light flash every time its chatting with the Isku so youll know when the two are working together.
ROCCAT Talk also lets you take advantage of our exclusive Easy-Aim technology like never before. When your game demands precise marksmanship in sniper mode, simply press and hold a single keyboard key and Easy-Aim will instantly optimize the DPI setting on your Kone[+]. This two-handed custom marksmanship is the simplest and most convenient way ever to achieve pinpoint sniping accuracy. And it also frees up a Kone[+] button for another macro of your choice.

ROCCAT TALK SET BONUS
Brand new ROCCAT Talk technology allows the mouse and keyboard to talk to each other for the first time ever.
ROCCAT Talk optimizes your command input options and raises your in-game efficiency. Combined use of the ROCCAT Kone[+] and ROCCAT Isku including the new ROCCAT Talk protocol delivers an unprecedented set of bonus functions.
EASY-SHIFT[+] BUTTON FOR MOUSE AND KEYBOARD
Among other features, you can configure one single Easy-Shift[+] key or button for the mouse and keyboard using the ROCCAT Talk protocol. Easy-Shift[+] functions on the mouse can now be executed by pressing the keyboard's Easy-Shift[+] key and vice-versa. When the Easy-Shift[+] is activated on the mouse via the keyboard, the mouse gives visual feedback as usual by lighting up.
You can decide whether to set one single key/button or two different keys/buttons to activate Easy-Shift[+] on the keyboard and mouse. The devices communicate lag-free for rapid in-game responses. It's even possible to set the Easy-Shift[+] key/button to remain active until pressed again (toggle on/off).
EASY-AIM BUTTON ON THE KEYBOARD
It's now also possible to activate the Easy-Aim function via ROCCAT Talk. Just select which key on the keyboard you want to use as the Easy-Aim button and as long as you keep this key held depressed, the mouse's DPI setting will change in no time at all really useful in situations when precise in-game aiming in sniper mode is called for, where a quick DPI setting change to a lower value is required. A really handy function, particularly as it's not generally available as an option in many games.
The new ROCCAT Talk protocol is already included in the ROCCAT Kone[+] and ROCCAT Isku. After installing the ROCCAT Talk driver the new configuration options appear in the existing device driver.
