I had this issue with multiple systems, so if you plan to use this mouse in Bluetooth mode with a particular device, I advise keeping the wireless receiver away from any of its USB ports. However, there seems to be a problem with devices recognizing the Harpoon RGB Wireless in Bluetooth mode if they’ve connected to it before using the USB receiver. The mouse has 2.4GHz Bluetooth capability, as well. When it’s time to go wireless, pop open the small compartment on the bottom of the mouse that stores the small, 2.4GHz wireless USB receiver. You can keep it plugged in and use it as a wired mouse while it charges. The Harpoon RGB Wireless comes with a six-foot braided cable with a micro-USB connector on one end and a USB Type-A connector on the other end. The side buttons are pretty well positioned, but they’d be pretty much perfect if the back button was moved downward just a little. The Omron switches under the left and right mouse buttons, CPI cycle button, and side buttons feel pleasantly clicky. Unfortunately, the scroll wheel doesn’t have side scrolling functionality. I’d prefer more pronounced detents, but that’s just a personal preference. It has a slight rattle if you shake it, but the scroll wheel feels solidly secured into the mouse. I was hopeful when I saw that the Harpoon RGB Wireless had a different scroll wheel than the Ironclaw, and my hopes were mostly upheld. Even so, I can see it as a great companion mouse for gaming laptops, because its small size and wireless capability make it quite portable. I prefer larger mice that I can grasp firmly with a palm grip. I found the shape to be comfortable, but because of its small size, I tended to grip the mouse in a kind of pseudo claw grip. It’s small, though not tiny, measuring 4.6″ x 2.7″ x 1.6″ (LxWxH). It’s a big jump down in size from the Ironclaw. The Harpoon RGB Wireless, as a whole, feels rock solid, though the scroll wheel rattles very lightly if you give the mouse a good shake. The top of the mouse is adorned with a lightly textured plastic and is designed to help you maintain your grip even while sweaty. A slight rubberized texture coats the sides of the mouse, also helping increase the grip. The final review will focus on Corsair’s M65 RGB Elite gaming mouse, where the MM350 mouse pad will also make an appearance.īesides the RGB LEDs, the Harpoon RGB Wireless is clothed in black. Corsair’s new Ironclaw RGB gaming mouse was the front runner, and now we’re going to take a look at a wireless spin on Corsair’s Harpoon RGB gaming mouse. To get that kind of speed, combined with a large, ergonomic, comfortable design, is a rarity in the world of gaming mice.This is the second review in the three-part CES 2019 Corsair review extravaganza. But there’s a noticeable difference in how the Sabre RGB Pro moves compared to a heavier mouse. I doubt it made a difference for an everyday player like me (I’m more comfortable with weightier mice anyway). The mouse parsed every command quickly and accurately, whether I was meticulously selecting options in turn-based battles or clicking furiously while guiding my Early Modern military across a map.Īs you might imagine, the mouse is especially fast and responsive for first-person shooter games, where a lighter weight can translate to faster aiming. To test the full range of the mouse, I loaded up Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Doom Eternal, Octopath Traveler and Final Fantasy XIV. The Corsair Sabre RGB Pro works beautifully in-game, whether you’re playing through a casual single-player experience or tearing it up in a multiplayer match. (Image credit: Corsair) Corsair Sabre RGB Pro review: Performance Granted, esports and tournament rules vary considerably on permissible software (or hardware) profiles, so the iCUE functionality may be superfluous for some users. You can even assign a useful “sniper” mode, which slows down your mouse’s DPI whenever you hold down a button, helping you aim more accurately for short bursts. ICUE is useful if you want to create custom profiles for the different games you play and assign keyboard commands to your thumb buttons. This doesn’t seem to make a difference in everyday play whether it makes a difference in esports, we’ll have to wait and see. For comparison, Most gaming mice cap out at 1,000 Hz. You can set up profiles for individual games and apps, update firmware and even adjust the polling rate up to 8,000 Hz, thanks to Corsair’s novel Axon technology. It does, however, run on the Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) software, which lets you control the DPI, RGB lighting, surface calibration and other settings.
