CORSAIR - Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight FPS Optical Gaming Mouse - Wireless - Black

The mouse is small for my hands (XL hands) but it's perfect for finger tip grip. It's a bit narrow so my hand does cramp a little bit but the lightweight of the mouse eases a lot of those issues at least. Clicks are actually quiet and crisp. Body and shell is sturdy and strong with no creaking. Clicks and movement feel instantaneous and it's all configured in their web app like the Vanguard Pro 96, which means you don't need to run icue in the background or use icue to configure it to memory. Don't mind the mouse feet photos: i messed up when i was removing the original ones and replacing them with the in package skates.

Lightest mouse i have ever owned. Very quick and responsive. I would definitely use the provided grips. The bad thing about this mouse is the batter life. I only get about 2 days of use before i have to plug in. No warning that the battery is low. It just stops working.

Excellent mouse—quick, lightweight, and offers exceptional grip and control.

While it’s not perfect in some areas I do think Corsair finally knocked it out of the park with the Sabre V2 Pro. Let’s get into it - What will shock you the most when you first pick up this mouse is just how light it is. It certainly is the lightest mouse you can buy at Best Buy (at the moment of review) but what I want to focus more on is how Corsair finally made a proper eSports focused mouse aimed at purely performance. There were some attempts in the past with the M75 Wireless/Air but it just launched at a high price and I felt like it wasn’t totally finished. You could also say the same for the previous Sabre which had a different shape. For the retail price this thing checks a lot of boxes! - Insanely lightweight (34.94g on my scale) with NO HOLES - Very good small-medium shape aimed at claw grip - Decent but not amazing buttons - High-end sensor Corsair Marksman S sensor (up to 33k DPI) - Up to 8K polling rate with the dongle included! - Solid mouse skates (with an extra set in the box) - Solid battery life even on 2K polling rate - Web app that’s very easy and convenient to use Design: The design of this mouse feels like magic. It takes lightweight to a new level you didn’t think was possible. There are no holes and the coating is just textured plastic. On my unit it doesn’t even rattle though some creaking/easy bending of the plastic is possible especially by the top where your palm rests. Long term durability could certainly be a question mark. The shape of the mouse most reminds me of a slightly modified Razer Cobra but with more flair towards the back making it generally more suited for claw-grip. It’s a very agile aiming experience using this mouse in FPS games (I use a low sensitivity, but I was able to move a lot faster with this mouse while maintaining control. Buttons: For the buttons this mouse uses Corsairs brand new mechanical switches. While I wished they were optical for better durability these still sound and feel decent. Should definitely get the job done. For FPS gamers it’s probably going to matter more how light the clicks are anyways and these are just that which is good. Performance: The mouse tracked and worked flawlessly. I tested it at max of 2K polling rate and never found any hiccups or stutters. The only thing I find strange is that you’re not able to adjust your Lift-off-distance so I guess Corsair wanted to go for a more simplistic approach. Mouse skates: I found the glide to me nice and smooth on most pads though I recommend these work best with any control pads. I also like how there is a extra set of pair in the box in case the original get worn down. Software: Well uhhh it sort of doesn’t need one! I just used the CORSAIR WEB HUB which you can use on a browser. I was able to adjust all my settings very quickly and everything was saved onto the mouse. This is the way to go! Battery life: 70 Hours. The lower the polling rate the more time you will get out of it. Closing thoughts: I test a lot of gaming mice and this mouse stood out which is saying a lot if you know me. I’m happy that Corsair finally has a mouse like this so it’s a solid recommendation if you’re looking for a superlight weight mouse. This particular mouse doesn’t really tie you up into any kind of ecosystem but if you already have a lot of Corsair stuff this would be the natural choice. Pros: * Design * Weight * Performance * Battery life * Value Cons: * Potential long term durability * Just average buttons

Wow, is there something lighter than Ultralight? Maybe Uberlight? I can't even tell you how light this mouse felt other than the initial unboxing experience, where I felt some heft to the paper frame as I pulled it out of the box, then as I pulled the mouse out, I could've swore it was just a shell or swappable casing for the actual mouse. It was that light. Where was the weight coming from? The actual braided cable and RF dongle. Crazy. The mouse really feels like a plastic shell rather than a mouse, it is THAT LIGHT. I still can't believe how light this mouse feels in use, you're going to have to calm your movements because any extra twitch, cough, sneeze or movement is going to register. Normally I use a heavy mouse, G502 X Plus which is probably 3-4x heavier and while I know its not the best mouse for accuracy, competitive gaming and long-term fatigue and performance, I've just become used to it. However, I am definitely excited to give this Sabre v2 Pro a spin once BattleField 6 launches in a few weeks. A few things to note: *I don't really like the fact the dongle needs a usb-c cable to connect it to your PC instead of just having a usb-c male connector that can then plug into a usb-c female to usb-a male. You basically need a cable just to plug in the RF adapter and the included cable is huge and heavy, or you have to provide your own shorter USB-C male to male cable (A or C). *There is no BT connectivity option like most Corsair mice, which is fine since this is really a mouse meant for gaming and is focused on that function. Adding more electronics means heavier mouse. *The mouse kit comes with larger teflon mouse feet that are larger than the default "U" shapes. This will give more glide and surface at the expense of heavier weight. It also comes with some rubber decals for the sides and LMB and RMB buttons which again gives some comfort in exchange for additional weight. *The mouse feels good overall, buttons are clicky, scroll wheel feels good but they are not going to feel as premium as your larger bulky mice. No RGB either, you get a little green LED that tells you the mouse is on, then it turns off to save battery life which Corsair says is 70 hours. *I use Corsair iCue software for all my Corsair gear, iCue Link etc. and the mouse was not detected. You have to use Corsair Web Hub which is a first for me to make advanced adjustments to the mouse. To make quick DPI adjustments, you have to long-press back button + RMB and you'll get 3 flashes that show dpi adjustment mode. Not great especially for on-the-fly changes but this is due to the limited bells and whistles on the mouse. *Charging requires using the same big dongle to charge it. I would not recommend trying to use this connected to a this massive braided cable, you will definitely feel the drag of the cable over the weight of the mouse and feel like you are fighting a dog on a leash the whole time. I'm excited to try out the Sabre v2 Pro to see if the trade-offs are worth it or not, but overall I'm starting to get used to the lightness already. Let's see if it ups my K:D ratio!!!
