Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: Excellent wireless gaming mouse. Really nice RGB accent lighting. Battery life has been great so far. Scroll wheel has a nice quiet but tactile feel. All buttons feel nice and ergonomics are good. Wireless charging. Cons: A more grippy / rubbery texture would be very welcomed. The mouse feels a bit plasticy and a bit slippery. Corsair software can be buggy at times and not the most user friendly. Wireless charging seems to only work when mouse is switched off which is inconvienent.

I ended up getting all my products from the corsair brand , this was my first pc build so i had to get the RGB out of my system lol , Corsair ICUE software is one of the best RGB softwares out there that allow you to control all your RGB products from one control center. This mouse has beautiful RGB and works great , it also has multiple profiles , for instance , the middle button on top changes profiles , on your first profile , you can set the dpi to 300 , 500 , 800 on the next profile , you can set it to 1000, 1500, 2000 . im still trying to figure out the rest of the features but so far i like it , it comes with a cable charger but if you have a wireless charger , you can get set this mouse on top and it will charge as it has the Qi charging feature, it also has 2 extra buttons on the side , it comes with a side piece so you can have a different grip I wish it had an option to put it wieghts to make it heavier or lighter but its a nice sterdy mouse , Only con was that the battery didnt seem to last very long but i still have to use it a little bit more tbh. maybe it didnt come with full charge when i got it , but i just easily connected it and it worked perfectly , remember that the RGB is controlled with corsairs ICUE software , where you can also set or change the buttons settings It also fits a pretty big hand and is wireless and bluetooth compatible aswell Its also compatible with Corsairs SCENES A corsair product that is Scene compatible to me was important because that allows me to control all the RGB devices with the SCENE mode in ICUE software , im pretty sure there is a work around this but I just wanted simple and easy control of all my RGB and im on love with Corsairs products because of this tbh ,

I purchased this after the left click began to wore out on my 3-year-old Corsair GLAIVE. Overall, I absolutely love this mouse so far (owned it for a little over 3 weeks now). It feels amazing in the hand, and the side grips are just as good as my Glaive. Along with this, the RGB looks amazing, and the actual performance is incredible on Slipstream technology to a point where you can't tell you're on wireless. The battery life is great and I can get through about 3 days before needing to charge it. The ability to use wireless chargers allows me to just throw it on the pad every few nights and wake up to multiple days worth of full charge. I love having interchangeable grips along with a mouse dongle holder. The ability to use Bluetooth will also be helpful for use with devices that don't have easily accessible USB. So far, absolutely amazing mouse and I don't have any complaints.

Honestly one of the best mice I've ever used. I'm usually wary of wireless mice for gaming, but I've noticed zero lag or input delay. Swapping the right side to the finger rest allows me to do a hybrid palm/claw grip, which has really helped in FPS games. I'm a middle aged gamer with 20+ years of IT work, the carpal is real and I had previously given up the claw because it hurt too much. It's a nice lightweight mouse too, and works great wired or wirelessly. I favored Razer mice and keyboards for years, but recently switched both to Corsair and am liking them a lot more.

Excellent ergonomics, beautiful looking mouse when you see it in person, extremely comfortable. The RGB is beautiful and high quality, throughout the entire mouse. Mouse is made of high quality materials and feels great in the palm even for someone with decent sized hands like me. However, the dpi up and down buttons are in a pretty inconvenient location and would do better somewhere else where they don't take up space that the left mouse button should have used. Also worth noting, the dpi buttons only change between three different sensitivity modes unlike most other mice. The mouse also features a small compartment behind one of the removeable sides to store the wireless reciever while not in use. You can't do much customization on the mouse without iCUE installed, which is understandable, but I've also experienced the mouse outright stop working if I ever close the iCUE window which is frustrating because I don't like extra applications running in the background, especially since iCUE eats up a lot of my computer's performance.

If you have larger hands, this is your mouse! It does gaming and standard use equally well! It was simple to setup, the Icue software is easy to understand, and is simple. The battery life is great on this mouse! It’s totally customizable, and rgb compliant. The slipstream 2khz polling is a nice touch on a mouse in the price range. If rgb isn’t your thing you can disable it, and extend battery life even further. It’s very user friendly and comes to an extra side plate for the right side. Your fingers now have a comfy place to rest on both sides of the mouse. Highly recommended!

A very nice mouse to use, it is very clicky and has a good weight. It offers wireless use or wired use and has little to no cord drag. Its rgb is nice and so is the additional slide plate for your pinky and ring finger.

This dark core is a beautiful mouse the rgb is not overly exaggerated and the feel of it is awsum it has sum weight to it, but the weight helps feel more premium and the it last a good while b4 u have to charge it. The buttons are very well placed all in ur palm easy to reach without compromise

First off, I'm reviewing it as an owner of the MM1000 mouse pad with the USB 3.0 passthrough (for the Dark Core's USB dongle) and the Qi wireless recharging as you never have to bust out that damned USB charging cable. You'll have to use it in order to update the firmware and calibrate the mouse to your mouse pad, but after that, if you got the MM1000 for which this mouse is designed, you are all set! If not, that damned USB charging cable makes this mouse impossible to use while charging (it's so stiff and rigid). In any case, in use, this wireless mouse performs like a wired mouse but without the annoying cable that you need to bungie somewhere for slack while gaming. The sensors on this thing are also incredibly precise, and you can even adjust it in iCUE down to the single DPI. This mouse along with the MM1000 mouse pad make for the ultimate in gaming peripherals.

First impressions of the mouse are pretty good. It was either this one or the Logitech GPro wireless, since that one was almost twice the price and out of stock into oblivion; I bought this one instead. It connected to Corsair ICue instantly after popping in the usb reciver, also auto switched to my Instant Lighting (all white). Saying that this thing has a ton of rgb leds, and you can disable them to prolong battery life. Even though the RGB’s look great when ON. Battery life is good, average 8-10 constant hours of use (usually gaming FPS and RPGs). Don’t buy the regular version and get the Qi wireless version: my reasoning is that half the time people forget to charge their mouse. I have a 3in1 wireless charger for my air pods, watch and I pop this mouse where the phone would go and it charges to full in 30-45 minutes.

People say that battery life isn't great but honestly it's genuinely pretty good, my gaming sessions are about 2-3 hours on average and I charge it about once a week. Also very comfortable to hold, I'd say it's definitely worth it.

Excellent mouse, high polling rate, good accuracy good weight. Very customizable RGB. I thought my last mouse was good, but this blows that out of the water. This will likely be my first choice for a very long time.

I was looking for a bigger mouse because I have big hands. This one fits great. It is heavy and slides great on a corsair mouse pad. The lighting on it is also very nice. The only complaint I have is the top grip layer is coming off after only 3 months.

The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE is a excellent mouse that is very similar to the Corsair Nightsword RGB. Same DPI and features. Only difference is this newer mouse supports Slipstream! Slipstream makes it easy to setup everything on one dongle!! Defiantly recommend!

The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro mouse fits my hand not quite like a glove but close enough. I use it to play games as it's fast and configurable and has plenty of buttons to set as options for various actions. The mouse can be wireless with a good charge or you can plug it into your machine. I haven't clocked the length of time the mouse will run without charging, but it will go for at least 3-4 hours if playing without losing speed. I like how it's contoured to my hand so that I can feel comfortable playing my games with it. I also love all the colors you can set it to run.

I got this mouse while it was on sale. Compared to other mice, it has three connection methods, including wired, wireless, and Bluetooth. They are excellent for cross platform usage. I can charge it via wire or Qi wireless. So far, it is responsive. I start to like it over my Logitech MX Master 2s.

I thought the lights would be cool when i bought it but they are actually a bit annoying... they are difficult to control and dont work the same under all the different methods of connecting. Plus they are almost too bright

This wireless mouse (could be used wired) has great battery life, fit, feel, and connectivity. I haven’t noticed any latency from my experience. I also enjoy the 8 fully programmable buttons which could be used for custom macros button remaps. The customizable in 1 DPI resolution is so great, as well as the RGB lighting. Everything is easily customizable through iCUE.

Upgrade from Logitech G602 Pros: Extremely comfortable grip Scroll wheel was very responsive RGB lighting a PLUS Option to go wireless Overall a great mouse

Great mouse, it took some getting used to not having side to side on mouse wheel but once I did I couldn't be happier. I also purchased the MM1000 charging mouse pad and with both it a killer combo.
