Customer Ratings & Reviews

My friend really loves this mouse, it is ergonomic and he can use it for a long time. The rgb is not too distracting and adds a touch of color to his setup. Everything on this mouse is good from the build quality to the software.

Awesome battery life i have large hands so its a perfect fit would recommend!

The wheel is clicky, not smooth, otherwise all features are nice. Fits my hand nicely and supportive. Cool light features on the mouse, does seem to drain the battery but the lights can be turned off. Uses usb to recharge

This definitely broke my expectations! Corsair went above and beyond with this invention! I finally found a mouse that can do it all!

This is best mouse that I've owned amazing battery life and very responsive. If your looking for a wireless gaming mouse this is it.

Great gaming mouse really helps playing battlefield.

I came from the steelseries rival 600. I was skeptical and would of liked to stay with steelseries, I am pleasantly surprised and enjoy this mouse about the same as the rival 600, I enjoy the weight of the mouse even though I play fps games.

Very good mouse used it for long hours.it was very comfortabe.

I tried this mouse in store years ago and wasn't thrilled, eventually found out it comes with a swappable piece for the right side of the mouse where you can rest your pinky. Great for large hands & has all the RGB you can want for those interested. Battery life could be better, but I've always preferred wired mouse up until this point, so maybe its on par with whatever else is on the market.

Good mouse, had to RMA it due to mouse wheel being buggy. New one is good tho, we'll see how long it holds up.

I've had this mouse for several months now and it's perfect. You can switch between profiles at the click of the center mouse button. It is as responsive as you want it to be from a slow crawl to lightning fast (probably for games). I'd really love this mouse it it worked as was advertised.

This is a nice mouse very responsive looks cool and comfortable

Better than I expected!!! Great comfort and the battery is good

I love this mouse! It’s beautiful and very responsive. The RGB is really bright and adds to the overall quality!

I took a little time to get used to this mouse but once I did I love it! I do wish the battery life is longer. I use it for work and gaming, so I’m a heavy user. If you only use this a few hours a day then I bet this is perfect, but I work 8-10 hrs and game sometimes so it takes a lot of use. I don’t care for setting up the lights so I can’t comment on that, but i do love the default settings.

Absolutely amazing battery life is great and the qi charging is great feature

It’s the best mouse that I’ve even had the icue software works hand and hand

Overall, I would say if you are looking for a wireless gaming mouse this definitely fits the bill. some of the features feel a little bit lackluster for what you're getting, but overall the build quality and battery life is amazing - which is what I was really going for. Latency is unnoticeable if there is any, and the color/speed profiles are a great variety.

My fav mouse so far and ive got like 8, fav part is the pinky rest no more dragging across the pad, i normally leave it plugged up 90% of the time wireless works great with the rest of icue

I was in the market for a nice new gaming mouse and after trying out three different options, the EVGA X17, Corsair Nightsword, and the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE, I ended up with the Pro SE, though I kept the X17 as a backup. So basically I walked into a Best Buy and bought the Nightsword, seemed like a nice mouse, RGB was great and I had the Corsair Virtuoso SE so I was already kind of in the Corsair ecosystem. At this point I just decided I was gonna keep this mouse. There was then a big sale on the X17 where I got it for 30 bucks, so I bought it to try it out and wow, that was a nice mouse. I loved the 8000hz, but I wanted to stay in my Corsair ecosystem. I then decided to try out the Dark Core since it boasted a 2000hz polling rate and, although I'm not a huge fan of the Dark Core's design (specifically the grippy back -- I wish it was like the Nightsword's), I ended up returning the Nightsword and keeping the Dark Core. The 2000hz does actually work, though of course with most mice, you only ever really saturate the lower 50% of the polling rate. Basically this means that under my normal use, the Nightsword would stick around 500hz, the Dark Core would be around 1100hz, and the X17 would be around 4000hz. I can visually tell the difference myself, but not all people can. It moreso has to do with the responsiveness of the mouse, which the Dark Core is absolutely excellent at. Corsair's slipstream tech is extremely good. Once you enable the 2000hz mode in iCue (through the dongle's settings), this thing is extremely responsive, much moreso than the Nightsword. I highly recommend this mouse.
