Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mouse works OK although it does cause issues with my system and the responsiveness is just OK

Purchased this for my son. He is big on gaming and read this was a good price and mouse to have for it. No compaints

Upgraded from a standard dark core. Like the feel of the mouse, the programmable buttons. And the SE (which has a Qi charger built in) pairs nicely with corsairs Qi charge mouse pad

This is a comfortable mouse and works well, but the iCue software will not sync this mouse up with a Corsair Keyboard. This is one of the only Corsair mice that do not sync with other Corsair products. Had I known that in advance I would've stuck with wired. Hopefully this can be addressed in a patch. If that doesn't matter to you, buy this mouse. Everything else about it is great.

Using the mouse because my screen cracked so I disabled the touch screen drivers in my laptop working great for school coursework and some 3D modeling labs

Screaming control that makes intense motion a breeze while allowing secondary effects to be done with a click. Looks great also, but I am a Techno-phile and this one does it for me.

Decent mouse for gaming, at time update doesn’t usually work but once it does then it’s a good mouse to game under

got this gaming mouse mainly because of the deal I got for it, and because Ive read good reviews how this gaming mouse has been used by professional esports player in their games.

I don't know why I expected more. This mouse is great wired but not nearly as good while being USD wirelessly.

Wireless mode works pretty fine with the receiver. A little bit lagging with Bluetooth mode, but should be good enough for normal gaming.

The dark core mouse is a great mouse to use when gaming. Really precise on the location on where you put it.

i have big hands i love this mouse i have a g502 i like this mouse better i actually bought 2 of them i like it so much

The mouse is a bit slow side to side on dual monitors but I have not tweaked any settings as of yet.

The RGB lights top off an excellent mouse for every purpose. It nice to be able to have it wireless as needed. I recommend this mouse!

I'm sure that this product works great because my husband plays games a lot and he hasn't had any complaints whatsoever, or he would have had me to return it.

decent mouse so far, for what i paid. grabbed while on sale, saved 30$ so had to give it a try.

This thing is perfect and accurate, wish iCue had a notification that the battery is low but hopefully that will be added in future releases.

This is a great mouse for gaming or any task that requires switching sensitivity of the mouse on the fly. Fast response rate and accurate tracking.

I had high hopes for the Dark Core SE, but ultimately I feel let down. Out of the box the mouse feels solid, well constructed, and has just the right amount of weight for me. The texture on the mouse is nice and gives it a nice grip. Overall, the mouse feels comfortable in my hand. I would say I have pretty average hand size so your mileage may vary. The mouse feels responsive and the sensor has extensive DPI settings that can be tuned in software and assigned to the DPI selection buttons on the top of the mouse. It also features a sniper button on the side which allows for reduced DPI for more precise shots. It works well, but leads me to my first disappointment. The buttons on the side require a fair amount of force to trigger. Plus, the button on the other side of the sniper button really requires me to readjust my grip to even reach it. For me, the forward and back buttons on the side are basically useless for that reason. My next gripe is the scroll wheel. It has no adjustment either in software or any kind of hardware selection. It has a pretty tight feel and will not free roll if you try to spin it fast. That means without some kind of software adjustment to change the scroll speed you may find yourself spinning the wheel... a lot. This is especially noticeable on web pages or documents where you need to quickly scroll to the bottom. I have found it is actually more convenient to simply grab the scroll bar and drag it down as opposed to the finger Olympics needed for the scroll wheel. The mouse has three lighting zones if you are into RGB customization. All of which is controlled through Corsair's new iCue software. The software has a substantial amount of customization that can be applied to the mouse to allow for button reassignment, DPI fine tuning, and lighting effects. Overall, it is decent software if not a tad confusing to use. After a bit of playing with it it starts to make sense. The mouse does come with a charging cord for those who have not shelled out for the Qi enabled mousepad Corsair offers (MM1000). I am using the mouse with the mousepad and all I can say is that the charging spot is a tad small. If you don't get the mouse precisely in place it will not charge effectively. This gets me to my next gripe... battery life. With the lights turned off you can expect a couple days of solid use, but once those RGBs are fired up expect that time to shrink fast. I am seeing a day of solid use with the lights on. Certainly makes the MM1000 an almost necessary purchase because of that. The mouse offers both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity. I use the included 2.4GHz adapter and have found it quick and highly responsive. That said, I have had a few instances of my cursor jumping well ahead on the screen. Only seems to happen when I am moving the mouse and not stationary so I am assuming that it is probably a firmware issue or maybe I have a defective mouse. For now, I am chalking it up to needing a software fix. For me the mouse is really nothing more than an average wireless gaming mouse. Fact is, I've used better. The rather short battery life means that the mouse really needs the mousepad (MM1000) too. That makes for a $160 combo at MSRP. Yes, that is substantially cheaper than the Logitech's PowerPlay option, but I am not sure I perceive it as a value either. Maybe if you can find the duo on sale I would say give it a shot, but for now I would make sure I look at all of my options. This one isn't the slam dunk I wanted it to be.

This wireless gaming mouse has a smooth flow whether using it for an everyday task or for gaming. Charge lasts long with good responsive performance.
