Set up was a snap. Took just a few seconds to set up with dongle. Bluetooth was pretty easy as well. The instructions say to use the dongle for more precise play and Bluetooth for non precise use.
I had icue software already loaded and configuration of the mouse's lights and sensitivity was super easy. Mouse LED lights are really cool and change dynamically if you set it that way.
I used this for rainbow six game play and it did great.
Corsair is really stepping up their products with gaming material and they are knocking it out of the park. At least that's my personal opinion.
I would recommend this product.

Been using this for Apex, Destiny 2, and Kovaaks 2.0. Incredibly responsive and long battery life. Works very well with Corsair iCue software right out of the box. I play at low sensitivities and this is the best mouse I've used so far. It also has a good weight to it and fits well in my larger hands.

This mouse has a lot going for it! I cannot speak to the quality in terms of how long it will last, as I have only had it for a week; however, it is extremely responsive for a wireless mouse. It does have a little more weight when compared to some other models but again this is a PRO for me. After downloading the software to control the RGB effects I was able to get the colors where I want. While I am not a very big fan of RGB, being able to control the colors and effects was/is nice. On the left side of the mouse there is a finger rest where the thumb would be: I have larger hands and this is optimal. On the other side no finger rest is installed; however, one is provided that attaches if you want. My wife likes the finger rest on the right side but my hands are to big to use the attachment. The thumb attachment on the left side of the mouse does not remove.

Absolutely love this mouse for comfort and functionality. Fits my hand great and the button clicks are satisfying. My only slight knock is the battery life. I’m used to an AA powered mouse that I replace the batteries once a year. Having to charge this once or twice a week seems like a lot. I’m using this 8-10 hours a day working from home.

an excellent large and heavy gaming mouse

I wanted a mouse that could play wired or wireless. This one works great either way. I like the large size for my little bit big hands. I also like the scroll wheel that has well defined clicks in its rotation. The left and right buttons have the right feel. What I really like are the wings on both sides of the mouse. On other mice my fingers tend to drag on the mouse pad but the wings maintain smooth operation. Weight is on the heavy side and I like that too. These have gone up in price since I bought mine.

I've had this mouse for a little over two years now. I use it many times a week if not daily. In all of that time I have not had so much as one issue with this product. I use it for both gaming and as a daily mouse and it works great for both. I notice no issues using it wired or not. The iCUE software could be more intuitive and less clunky for sure but all the tools I wanted were there once I got the hang of it. It has a larger size so the fit to my hand is perfect, I can use it for hours with no discomfort. Overall I would recommend this product to gamers and not alike.

This is a exceptional mouse. If you have a bunch of Corsair products. This one is a no brainer. The RGB on this mouse is industry leading. The mouse is very responsive and I have never had any issues with it. I love how I can switch from my gaming pc to my MacBook Pro using bluetooth or the dongle. If you have multiple devices this is a perfect mouse. The only thing I wish they had was a scroll wheel like the infinity wheel on Logitech mice. Other than that this is a solid mouse and the Slipstream dongle it comes with is also a plus because you can setup multiple compatible wireless Corsair devices using one Slipstream dongle. I would definitely recommend!

My old mouse, Logitech G602 stopped working about a month back so I needed a new gaming mouse, I settled on the Dark Core - which also happens to be my first Corsair mouse; It has been excellent, I love the RGB and the fact that I can charge it instead of buying batteries every so often; One last thing, and I don't know if it is my eyes playing tricks on me, but it seems like since I have had this mouse, my gaming feels and looks noticeably smoother, in particular with Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online. Great purchase, I don't regret it, if you don't feel like spending $100+ for a mouse, this is definitely the way to go. **Side note - I have fairly large, not huge, hands and this fits me perfectly, just something to note if you consider this mouse.**

Mouse seems sturdy, comfortable, good weight, a few programmable buttons, programmable DPI, and good battery life.
One thing to notice is, if you want to use the mouse through bluetooth like me, I'm pretty sure Corsair's software (iCue) does not recognize the device, hence it doesn't work with the configs you set up there. But if you use the onboard memory for configs, it runs fine. If you're going to be really tweaking the DPI configs and profiles for different games, etc, you will need to go wireless (with the USB dongle) or wired.

Slick as greased lightning.

Glides smooth, goes up to 18,000 dpi, which makes your mouse move like greased lightning. The only problem I have with it is that if you're using a slanted mouse pad and a game pad, the mouse shifting even the tiniest bit will cause game pad input to stop working briefly. That can get you killed in those all too important games.

Excellent wireless mouse for ones with wider grip

The whole reason I went with this mouse is be"ause it has a plate on both the left AND right sides. The right side is magnetic and can be replaced with the included flush plate. I use a wide claw grip and my ring and pinkie finger tend tobdrag along the mousepad and gets annoying. I LOVE the right side plate, but even if you dont care for the extra plate, it is an excellent wireless mouse. The side buttons are large and easy to press with soft switches. It has 3 DPI settings that can be customized. I dont really care for the RGB, but it can be turned off. Overall, I hope they keep making this model for a long time as I will probably get another one when I eventually wear this one out.

This will be my second time buying this mouse. First one I had for a year and sadly had an issue with an update on the iQue software and it bricked my mouse. Love the feel and response from the mouse. If you like thicker and slightly heavy mice then this is a good one for you. Good grip for when you get a little sweaty while playing or using and a balanced feel.

This mouse is probably the best bang for your buck, if you're not looking for weights or the looks of a radiator transformer. It has beautiful and customizable RGB lights, and very good battery life. You can customize your DPI to your liking and I haven't suffered any ghosting, input lag or disconnects. A great choice for anyone wanting a wireless gaming mouse for an affordable price, that has nothing to envy from other, more bloated and expensive offerings.

Works great as long as iCue is running in the background. Upon boot, iCue can take some time to start up. The mouse is nearly unusable before iCue starts. If iCue experiences interruptions, the mouse will get jittery.
Comfort and weight are perfect. RGB is really bright for a mouse. The clicks also feel great. Awesome as a mouse, the only drawback is the software.

Little heavier then my air mouse but works well. Holds a charge for a few days easily depending on how much I game. Three of the buttons are just for DPS and Profiles so I don't think you can assign them to be anything else.

A very good gaming mouse with nice connection flexibility, a good heft without feeling heavy for no reason, fantastic tracking and good RGB lighting if you're into that sort of thing. Battery life has been very good for a RGB rechargeable mouse and button placement and click feel has been very good. My favorite mouse so far. I used a razer death adder for over 6 years and a corsair m65 RGB pro and this has been the best so far.
