For Gamers with Larger Hands
You can read my first impressions here on the PC Gamer Forums! https://forums.pcgamer.com/threads/corsair-dark-core-rgb-pro-first-impressions.3360/ And you can read their professional review, technical specifications and all, here! https://www.pcgamer.com/corsair-dark-core-rgb-pro-se-wireless-gaming-mouse-review/ CORSAIR is a brand I stand by. Ask my 10+ year old power supply. I own numerous CORSAIR products and they all serve my gaming needs remarkably well. The older design of this model was something that interested me, but didn't really fully intrigue my purchase. This model (the non Qi-Charging one) is more refined and really hits the mark. My favorite feature of the mouse is the light strip adjacent to the thumb buttons. The lighting is very customizable using the iCUE software, and looks great with a CORSAIR keyboard beside it. It takes some effort to tweak everything out, but it isn't difficult by any means. The construction is solid, styling isn't too aggressive or understated, and the weight is just right for me. The two interchangeable grips are a welcome nod to nomenclature. It performs brilliantly in games and I believe my accuracy and precision has gone up a tick because of that. I didn't purchase the Qi-charging SE model, because I'd like to wait for CORSAIR to develop something akin to Logitech's or Razer's wireless charging technology where the entire mousepad can be utilized for charging. Perhaps in the next year or two. This mouse will probably last a lifetime but I can see it becoming an excellent portable device. That, however, is my only dink. CORSAIR should have prioritized developing such tech to release a new mousepad that would coincide with a flagship product... instead, we're kind of getting more of the same. BUT, for me, this is an upgrade, not a replacement, so new tech in my hands makes up for the lack of "future-proofing." My previous mouse was a Logitech G700, which got many, many hours of use, mostly wired. At the MSRP, you are getting excellent value. I had been eyeing the ROG Spartha ahead of this mouse's release, which is almost twice the cost. Before that I had seen the Dark Core and thought, "Hmm, if they just tweak the RGB and that weird side button panel, I'm sold." Well CORSAIR read my mind, then BEST BUY had a sale! Cheers!

Firm grip but a little short on battery life.
The mouse is solidly built. It's a little heavy but that actually helps with steady aim in a FPS title. The mouse supports 2000 Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless mode, it reduced input lag and is an advantage you should take over other players. The side panel on the left and interchangeable panel on the right allows you to rest your thumb, pinky and ring fingers on it instead of scratching on the mousepad as you aim, it reduces friction and allows you to have better grip on the mouse. It's a nice touch every mouse manufacturers should learn from. The battery life is a little short with RGB lighting in wireless mode. It lasts about 10 hours to 12 hours before the low battery warning pops up. So you should have the cable handy and charge the mouse during breaks.

Coating wears off quickly, great mouse otherwise.
This mouse is great, the feel is amazing, and the weight is good. It has decent battery life with great RGB. It tracks well and the buttons feel tactile. That being said one CRITICAL error regarding this mouse is that shortly after use, the rubber coating will wear off and chip. It will bubble up and feel rough to the touch. I have generally oily hands so that might be the cause but this is not normal for any mouse I have used in the past. This can happen within one month. I contacted corsair and it happened to both the replacement and the original within one month.
