This mouse is the best mouse I have ever used, despite it only being a casual mouse. The mouse fits my huge hands perfectly, and the buttons are easy to reach. The textured rubber on the palm is something that I have NEVER seen before, an I absolutely LOVE IT. Now, the reason I said casual mouse was because this mouse is extremely heavy, which makes turning hard for fps gamers. If you want to be a hardcore fps gamer, I reccomend the glorious model O. For MMO and RPG gamers, I reccomend a Razer Naga Trinity. For casual gamers who dont care about that stuff or want a mouse that looks and feels good, this mouse is a game changer. The mouse skates are smooth af and the grips are comfortable. If you have small hands, this mouse may not be the best choice because of the size, but for a 6' 2 Male who can palm a basketball, I can use it in any grip style I like, although I will warn you about butterfly clicking and accidentally hitting a dpi profiling button. As for mousepads, I recommend getting a hard mousepad (my personal favorite is the razer sphex v2) as the mouse will glide like butter on it. I also recommend to players needing a high cost to buy mouse grip tape (search for lizard skin mouse tape on amazon) as it makes drag clicking MUCH easier. So overall, great mouse for anyone looking for portability, low latency wireless, casual gaming, or someone with big hands. The last thing I will cover before I go is RGB, which is astonishingly bright. 10/10 would reccomend.

Bought to complete a build using the corsair atmosphere. I put up my g502 hero to check this mouse out and I think this will be my daily driver from now on. There are no weights and this mouse is not that heavy, though I like my mice a bit heavier but that's just my own preference. This is also my first wireless mouse and in my week or so of using it, I haven't noticed any issues, feels like I'm using a wired mouse. It's very responsive and has a healthy amount of buttons, it's no MMO mouse but Corsair does make one of those.
The iCue software gives you pretty good control over this mouse from increasing or decreasing the dpi via adjustable presets that are mapped to the two buttons next to the left mouse button, to controlling the lighting and having it sync with your other peripherals. You can calibrate to the surface you're using it on as well. There are two other buttons below the dpi buttons that can be mapped for whatever function you like, I have them set to control leaning in certain games and reloading/action buttons in others.
In my opinion, these buttons need to be moved back towards the palm rest a tad, like a half inch but for people with long thumbs I'm sure they will feel just fine. It comes with a USB A to USB C charging cable and a couple of different clip on grips. Overall I'm happy with this mouse and look forward to seeing how long it lasts.

This is a great mouse. The charge lasts over a day, and it is very responsive. The adjustments that can be made using the iCue software, which can be downloaded from the Corsair web site, make it great for gaming. The addressable RGB features are very nice. I've bought two, one as a gift. I love it.

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.

Great Experience For The Bigger handed

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.

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.

Good mouse but a ton of small issues

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.

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!

Do NOT buy this.

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.
