I just bought one of these as I've been a huge fan of Roccat's Kone Pure form factor for over 10 years. I can (happily) confirm that the complaint about the wireless polling rate is unfounded. As you can see in the Swarm II driver software screenshot, I have mine connected wirelessly with a polling rate of 1,000Hz.

It's possible of course that this has been upgraded in a firmware update since the review was posted, but the wireless polling rate certainly isn't a complaint anymore.

One complaint I do have about it is that it inexplicably right-clicks every time it wakes from sleep, so if I'm typing or watching something for more than 3 minutes, I get a guaranteed right-click when I bump my Pure Air awake - even if I'm not touching the buttons. Updating the firmware and resetting it didn't help. It's only a mild nuisance but it'd be nice to see that fixed in an update.
