Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ok, here is the details, which in my opinion, has the upgrades that the previous version needed. I have the previous model as well to compare. The new version went back to having the front/back left side buttons instead of the previous button set-up. It went from 1,000 to 2,000 inter polling which I couldn’t tell the difference but the slipstream technology is amazing and I never had any connection issues. Other Details: CORSAIR - DARK CORE RGB PRO Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with Slipstream Technology. CORSAIR DARK CORE RGB PRO wireless gaming mouse features up to 50 hours of battery life for uninterrupted gameplay. I checked it out for the 50 hour mark, based on playing 2-3 hours a day I didn’t need to recharge for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Pretty sweet. I love the pinpoint accuracy and precision With the new custom PixArt PAW3392 optical sensor, optimized for extremely low power consumption and customizable in 1 DPI resolution steps. RGB backlighting is amazing but you might not need all the lighting. It’s nice to have though. I like and prefer Omron switches over Razer’s optical. The Omron is ultra-durable switch which is 50 million clicks. Just my opinion. You get the USB wireless slipstream adapter, side grip, plus the charging cord.

This mouse feels extremely comfortable and the slipstream wireless connection is incredible feels as good if not better than a wired mouse. It also comes with a lengthy cord for charging while you play or for you to use it as a corded mouse If you prefer. The RGB lighting is also very well done. All in all 10 out of 10 would buy again.

Never had a true gaming mouse before, so I guess this ones great. Better than any mouse I've had in the past. Very responsive and I love the rgb lighting and wireless capabilities. And having the extra buttons on this thing makes it easier to keybind things I like to the mouse, like grenades. Lol.

This is my first gaming mouse, so I can't say how it compares with other mouses. I purchased this mouse mainly for ergonomics as most mouses are pretty small and I like the side wings. I only had this mouse for about a month, one of the better mouses I own. The mouse lights up like a Christmas tree and has a premium feel to it. The mouse responds nicely. My hand rests comfortably on the mouse, no strain. Has bluetooth and USB connection. My only gripe is mainly the cost and that the battery doesn't seem to last as long as I would have liked between charges. However, for my purposes, I think it was worth it.

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.

The mouse itself is good and is my go-to, but beware Corsair products in general are really iffy and come with a stack of small issues that stack up. I've experienced these problems with both this mouse and also with other Corsair mice and general products I've bought: -- Corsair products are prone to fail a lot. Fortunately they have a good replacement policy if you do get a defective mouse, but I've had to return and replace products a LOT and the last time I bought this mouse I had to return it for a defective middle click. -- The software they come bundled with, iCue, is absolutely abysmal and has been basically nonfunctioning for years. You will need to install iCue at least once though as these mice come preprogrammed with some nonsense macros (forward and back were bound to the number keys 2 and 4 for some reason, across multiple mice). -- The paint on these mice have a tendency to start melting and peeling off after several years of use. -- These mice eventually start to experience some weird behavior where they never automatically shut themselves off, absolutely destroying battery life. Lately it has been preventing my PC itself from staying in sleep mode until I turn it off manually. If you're fine with dealing with minor issues here and there the mouse itself is a very nice mouse. But I can't give it a good rating because of all this.

This was purchased to replace an older gaming mouse. It has good weight and big enough for your hand to rest comfortably. I’ve had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists so that is important. The lighting is a good bonus. USBC charging. Would recommend.

I like the shape and size of the mouse love the features it has with side buttons. Overall 10/10 mouse would recommend to everyone

I personally love this mouse. I had the night sword model and wanted to remove wires without compromising performance and I wanted the exact same shape and feel I’m big handed and also picky. So when I saw this and it’s shape to the nigbt sword I got really happy. Another thing that you don’t really notice is that the lighting on the mouse is very sleek and honestly as best as I can describe elegant and flashy while not being over bearing . I have played about 6 days straight and not had it die(however that’s with breaks and a job and other tasks) and I haven’t had any stutters or any feeling of input lag using the connector. The build qaulity feels nice and reliable and the textures are oh so comfortable on the hand, overall the user experience for the mouse is truly amazing IF YOU ARE BIGGER HANDED OR LIKE HEAVIER MOUSES.

While the mouse itself works, the wireless usb plug quite working after a few months. I use it with bluetooth now. Since I don't use it for gaming it's not a huge deal. I bought it for work and the fact that it can wirelessly charge so I don't need to keep a supply of batteries around or remember to plug it in to keep it charge. I have a mousepad that does the wireless charging and it works great.

Was hesitant to go back to a wireless gaming mouse because of past issues but this thing works great. Very comfortable and customizable. the RGB looks great. Charge lasts a long time.

So far this is the most comfortable mouse I've used. Fits my medium/large hand size very well for a palm grip, and I don't mind that it's a bit heavy. The pinky rest attachment is what really sold it for me!

Awesome mouse. Looks sick with the rgb very comfortable to use for long periods of time. Very easy to set up would recommend to anyone looking for a good entry level gaming mouse. Awesome that its wired and wireless as well.

Best buy needs to think about removing this brand. Owned it for a year, along with 3 or 4 other mice I bought when I got my gaming/video editing computer a year ago. Endless issues, that if you google are WIDE SPREAD, but take 4-6 months to manifest. Such as: Scroll Wheel being more erratic than you most gasllighting ex. Sometimes up does up, sometimes it goes down a mile. Sometime it works for half a second. The plastic is cheap. I have been on xbox for 15 years, and on pc for close to 20. I clean my controllers and do not have an oil issues on my hands. Never have, yes this thing disintegrates. Now lets talk about customer service for a company selling 60-200 dollar items. It is AI emails. No phone number. You cannot even ASK them to call you. Good luck....This mouse is the worst I have owned in 20 years. Is it fun? Sure, icue and the lighting is fun. I own the 200 dollar or so mechanical keyboard, it works. I like it. I WANTED to like this mouse, but nothing I have done has fixed this. I even tried opening it all up and cleaning with 90% iso and cue tips after customer service (after two weeks of emails, said they would send me a new one....which I am taking, but do not want) . NOPE. the mouse wheel just sucks. Cheap components.

This mouse really is an awesome device. It's really responsive and looks so cool lighting up

Works great so far. Price was good and the features are there. Works pretty well with corsair icue. Feels solid and im happy with my purchase. I would definitely buy it again.

I was a little hesitant due to the cost, so I saved up some reward points to help. Glad I did. Very nice feel in the hand. Battery lasts about a week with RGB. I Love you can scroll through icue profiles with the push of a button. You can also set the DPI giving you the ability to speed up or slow down the pointer speen. It has a ton of possiblities.

I use this mouse for gaming (with the included Slipstream dongle) and for work on my laptop with the built-in Bluetooth. Gaming performance is phenomenal with no detectable lag using the Slipstream dongle. I get better performance from this than my wired Razer gaming mouse. Works with iCue so if you're RGB'ing your life with Corsair you can illuminate it to your heart's desire. The included Bluetooth is a great perk. There's a small switch under the mouse that allows you to seamlessly switch between wireless and Bluetooth. The mouse is the perfect size for my large hands and I would NOT recommend this mouse if you have hands on the smaller size because it does have some bulk.

Really like this mouse. Nice clicking action. Ultra responsive. Only complaint is icue software is finicky. Holds a charge for weeks as well.

This is my first wireless gaming mouse. Currently using a perfectly working 3 yr old m65 Pro on my other pc. I went corsair because I've always had good luck with their products and they stand by their warranty. This mouse was for my gaming setup in the living room. I've got a pretty small living space, so distance between where I sit and where the computer and wireless dongle are is about 7 feet. I cannot emphasize enough how much better it is to game with a wireless mouse. I don't feel any noticeable lag between mouse movements and the battery life is great. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs a solid wireless gaming mouse.
