Optics and haptics
The exterior has been kept very simple, only the KTXT lettering on the left mouse button interrupts the black. On the underside, the two large PTFE glide feet are attached to the front and back of the mouse, and a ring around the sensor adds to it.
Even though the Katar Pro XT is symmetrical, it only has more buttons on the left side, making it less suitable for left-handed users. In contrast to the rest of the roughened surface, the thumb keys have a smooth high-gloss look. For my taste they could have been a bit bigger, but you quickly get used to it. Both sides of the mouse have a triangle pattern for better grip.
In the front or back view you can see the slight V-shape, which is supposed to be especially suitable for the claw or fingertip grip. You can also see the rough surface of the case and the mouse keys well in the backlight. Only the mouse wheel can be illuminated with this mouse.
Processing and first quality impressions are very good and give no reason for criticism. Columns are very small and the different parts merge almost seamlessly. All sliding feet are neatly in place.
Since I tend to use a palm grip myself, the V-shape of the mouse was a bit inappropriate for me at first. The side keys are also not just smooth, but have an edge in the upper half as seen in the picture. This causes them to feel a bit “pointy” when pressed. Overall, the Katar Pro XT feels good in the hand after a period of acclimatization, even if I do not necessarily belong to the target group.
