Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gaming mice have become a lucrative segment for the gaming brands. It seems there are hundreds of options out there running the gamut from dollar store bargain brands to exotic, RGB-infused devices with more buttons and ergonomic decisions to make than there are options on an American pickup truck. I find most gaming mice fairly tacky with little to gain over a tried-and-true, inexpensive one I had been using for many years, but the Corsair Sabre v3 Pro Ultralight Wireless was the first one I’d picked up in a long time that felt like it nailed the brief. This is the one to get if you find frills get in the way of the assignment: perfect aim, no mistakes. - Unboxing and Setup Corsair packaged the Sabre v3 Pro with just the right amount of premium flair, and did so with recyclable materials that minimize one-time-use plastics. Further reducing unnecessary materials and waste, a QR code links to the instruction manual on Corsair’s website. Included in the box are the mouse, its USB-C receiver and braided USB-A to USB-C cable, side and top rubber grips in both black and white varieties, a set of larger mouse gliders, and an alcohol pad alongside the usual health, safety, and warranty information. Setup is as simple as can be: plug the mouse directly into your PC via a USB cable to use it wired, or plug the dongle in and turn on the mouse via the power switch on the bottom. The Sabre was immediately recognized by Windows 11 and did not need specific drivers to support. It’s as plug-and-play as it gets in 2026! - Desktop Use Right off the bat, the Sabre v3 surprises with such low friction that I had to adjust how I use a mouse. After 20-plus years of using mice that weigh at least twice as much as the Corsair, I thought I wouldn’t be able to adjust to something that glides so freely to the point it felt like I would always overshoot my target. After just a few moments to adjust, however, I found myself in awe at how natural and effortless it feels to point with this mouse. The fairly standard button selection and layout makes the Sabre feel less like a gaming mouse than some of its maximalist brethren may. The main click buttons are large and easy to actuate, the clickable scroll wheel is wonderfully notchy with just the right amount of resistance to each step, and two customizable thumb function buttons on the left side (sorry left-handed gamers, this is a right-hand-only mouse) give the mouse the usual range of versatility. The plastic contours feel great under the hand, and the approximately 5-inch length feels just about perfect for the typical computer mouse. The lightness isn’t without its drawbacks for desktop use, though. Even after a few days adjusting to the Sabre I’m overestimating my grip and movement forces, and on the right surface a strong desk fan can blow the mouse around. DPI can be switched on-the-fly by assigning the thumb buttons via Corsair Web hub (more on that below), and being able to jump between values as low as 100dpi and as high as 6400 is great for switching between applications that demand different levels of precision. Low settings for precise photo editing work, higher settings for browsing the web, etc. - Gaming Use & Hardware Customization The drawbacks from using this as a desktop mouse disappear the moment you start a game. With my hand constantly on the mouse and both the polling rate and DPI cranked way up with low mouse sensitivity in-game, the Sabre feels incredible. Large and precise movements alike translate into motion with no perceivable input delay (though I’m far from an eSports professional, admittedly), and the featherlight weight carries so little inertia that in some moments the Sabre can feel like an extension of your wrist. It’s also trivially easy to move the mouse around with just your fingers. I never noticed just how much work my pinky finger is putting in until I was using it with so little resistance that it tenses up on me and I need to consider taking breaks more often (don’t get old, kids!). The normal size, contours, and smooth finish I mentioned earlier come into their own here by providing a neutral grip. Players with big or small hands, paw or claw style grips, three or four finger approach…the Sabre accommodates all with ease, and Corsair includes a range of peel-and-stick grips for customizing the outer surfaces if you want to change the feel. Besides the scroll wheel there are no rubber touchpoints on the mouse, and all surfaces are exactly alike in their finish. This is an easy mouse to physically customize. One of the neater features with the Sabre is a calibration setting “PureVector” that integrates with the free AimLabs software to more precisely adjust the Sabre’s DPI setting and general mouse aim to match your gaming habits. After successfully completing the calibration in the AimLabs software (accessible via the Corsair Web Hub), a DPI setting on the Sabre is replaced with an omni-directional sensitivity that is customized to your input habits as detected through several rounds of AimLabs training. After just ten minutes I had a profile saved that compensated for my leftward and downward movements being less sensitive than other directions (ironically, just about in line with my marksman experience). The custom profile feels more natural and should make tracking moving targets in FPS games a bit easier. All the Sabre’s settings and firmware updates are handled through the Corsair Web Hub, a web-based interface accessible through Chrome or Edge browsers that can communicate directly with the mouse without the need to download any dedicated driver or software. All settings are saved directly to the mouse as a single profile. - Connectivity & Battery The Sabre connects to your PC via either a wired USB-C connection, or wirelessly through a USB-C receiver shaped in a clip-on style (presumably for clipping to the edge of a mousepad). I usually prefer a USB-A style dongle rather than something that needs to be connected at both ends via an [included] USB cable. I did notice that once the mouse was being constantly used as input, it became more important to ensure a short distance between the receiver and the mouse. With the receiver on the opposite side of my desk, I would get ghost movements that kept the cursor (or my aim) moving for up to half a second after I stopped physically moving the mouse. I do admit this was with a modest amount of USB devices and dongles near the Sabre’s receiver, but in any case relocating the receiver nearer to my mousepad resolved all issues. Battery life has been better than I expected. 140 hours doesn’t feel like a long time, but in my week using the Sabre off and on (I’d estimate about 30 hours total of active use), Corsair Web Hub still reported a battery status of “High.” Not the most useful piece of information but I presume there’s a level between High and Low that would roughly correspond to each third, so I’ll take it still showing High as meeting Corsair’s estimates. As the Sabre’s so light, the battery is naturally very small and the recharge time over USB should be minimal. I wasn’t able to test this precisely. - Bottom Line The Corsair Sabre v3 Pro Ultralight Wireless is a wonderful option for gamers who want a high-spec, wireless gaming mouse with virtually nothing standing in the way of optimal performance. The incredibly high polling rate and DPI sensitivity are just the headline features of a highly customizable wireless mouse that more than gets the job done, and the PureVector aim calibration will no doubt make you a better shot. A slightly longer battery life and perhaps a profile switcher are the only things I’m left wanting for here, but these are nitpicks at best. The mouse certainly isn’t cheap with an MSRP of $179.99, but if you’re demanding the best with minimum weight, there aren’t many options out there that would serve you better. Recommended!

I wanted to try out a lighter mouse as all the mice I’ve got are over 80 grams, some even above 100 grams. I tend to swap out my main mouse every other month, between different styles and weights. I saw that Corsair was releasing a new SABRE v3 Pro, that would be Ultralight weight. I decided to give it a try as I have multiple Corsair devices already and loved the SABRE product series in the past. Pros: - Ultra-Light weight at 37 grams. - Super Responsive and quick. - Can adjust settings without installing software. Cons: - No Dedicated DPI switching button, must use the Web App or Press and hold 2 buttons for 3 seconds to cycle. - Lightweight enough to have a mouse click move the mouse around while using. Out of the Box: The Corsair SABRE v3 Pro Ultralight is one of, if not, the lightest mouse I’ve ever held. It weighs just 37 grams. Taking it out of the box, I had to wonder if it was real because it didn’t feel like it had any weight to it. Included in the box is the Mouse, Braided USB-A to USB-C Cable, clip-on Receiver, extra Mouse Skates and Grip Pad Kit. Software: Honestly, I love it when a device doesn’t need a perpetually on app to make it work. The SABRE v3 Pro uses the Corsair Web Hub to adjust the setting, no required software to install. There is an option to install an offline (local) version of the software if you want. The Corsair Web Hub is straightforward, just navigate to the link, select your device and then click on either Assignments or DPI. Assignments handle remapping keys or setting macros, but with this mouse the options there are very limited unless you have a very specific need. I left the assignments to default. On the DPI side, you have a range from 1 all the way to 42,000 DPI you can set across 5 different stages (profiles). There is a slide bar, but I found it easier to just type the DPI directly into the box for the number (as the mouse adjusts real-time as you change the slider). To change the DPI you can select it directly here or press and hold the Right Mouse button and Back Button for 3 seconds, the LED indicator at the front between the mouse buttons will flash 3 times on the color of the new profile. It’s not as easy as having a dedicated DPI button unless you assign one, or as fast which could be an issue for anyone who switches DPI on the fly. If you want to get the most out of your mouse, then go give AimLabs a try. It’s free over on Steam, it helps improve your overall aim while also taking down data on how you use the mouse to give you more insight into your play style. Go give it a try. Build & Feel: I’ve already mentioned that the SABRE v3 Pro is only 37 grams, but it feels unreal in hand. It’s almost like there is not there, but it is crazy just how lightweight this mouse is. It is like grabbing super light craft foam that is firm and slides smoothly but weights nothing in your hand. It took me a while to get used to using it as most of my mice are 3-4x as heavy. Even with the mouse being so light weight, it feels just as solid and well built. It doesn’t feel cheap in any way beyond how lightweight it is. One thing I did have to do right away was to put the mouse grips on the SABRE v3 Pro, without the extra grip the smooth matte plastic is way too smooth to get a firm grip. After applying the grips, the mouse stayed in place in my hand. I didn’t have to put the additional mouse skates on, but I could tell the larger one would most likely give a better balance than the pre-installed thin one. Play: I was blown away by how smooth and fast the mouse felt, clicking was near instant between the action and response in game. I have to say, it took me longer to get used to the movement with the lightness of the mouse, but once I got it down, I was able to increase the DPI a bit more. I have noticed that my wrist has felt less fatigued over the last few days, which I think is directly a result of using the lighter weight mouse, but I’d want to check that after at least a month of use before I go saying it is for sure the mouse over other changes like playing a bit less or exercising more. The only issue I had initially was a combination of being used to a heavier mouse and the way I held the mouse. When I would go to click on something, the action of clicking would be enough force to move the mouse ever so slightly which in-turn moves the mouse off where I was clicking. Those little “X” on browser tabs were the bane of my existence and resulted in me lowering my DPI down from 16,000 to 14,000, which was enough to control the movement. Once I get a bit more used to the mouse, I might increase the DPI again, but I’ve not noticed any issues while gaming since the adjustment. Battery Life: As it weighs so little, the battery is also much smaller than other gaming mice. Similarly, when you turn up the polling rate to 8,000 Hz, the battery life will be much shorter because the mouse is talking to the computer 8x more. At the lowest polling rate (1,000 Hz) the battery is stated to last 140hrs, but at 8,000 Hz the battery life shrinks down to just 25hrs of use. I was able to observe the 25hrs of use at 8,000 Hz polling rate, though I didn’t find this to be much of an issue as charging still allows for wired use of the mouse. Conclusion: A mouse is a very personal preference device, I’d never say there is one BEST mouse out there. It is up to your personnel preference. If you prefer a mouse that is as lightweight as possible, while being simple to use, then I’d recommend giving the Corsair SABRE v3 Pro a try. It is only 37 grams with the grips on, moves effortlessly across a mouse pad, and doesn’t require any annoying software to keep running. I can see myself switching between mice depending on what I’m doing, but for sure will be using the SABRE for competitive games soon!

A gaming mouse designed by pros for pros, this is the lightest mouse I have ever held. A product designed in collaboration between Corsair and Aimlabs, this 36g Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Wireless gaming mouse is designed around the laws of physics and built to maximize agility and speed. Its ergonomic shape fits my hand exceptionally well and I tend to have a palm grip, so it is a perfect choice for me especially for playing FPS games. This mouse was designed for speed, precision, to be customized, and to optimize individual playing styles. With the help of the CORSAIR Web Hub and Aimlabs to test Pure Vector, the potential to maximize your gaming skills are exponentially increased. And to further customize the mouse once the online tools have been used to program it to your personal preferences, the packaging also includes extra grip tapes and alternate mouse skates. What’s Good (or Great) about the Mouse: - The mouse is designed to be exceptionally light at 36G for speed. - It is built for precision and there is no lag, not even in wireless use. - It delivers near instantaneous inputs with wireless 8kHz-hyper-poling that reports 8 times per millisecond. This is the fastest rate of any mouse on the market. - The mouse registers amazing accuracy and precision with 33K DPI detection and has tracking speeds up to 750 inches per second and acceleration up to 50 G. - It is fully customizable and can be fine-tuned through online software that programs the mouse. Once programmed, it stays with the mouse without the need for software. - A long wireless battery life up to 70 hours of gaming is possible and there is the backup ability to switch to wired if needed by using the USB cable. - By reducing the weight of the mouse strain is reduced on the muscular skeletal elements of the wrist. The wrist then requires less synovial fluid in the joints and fatigue on the wrist that leads to carpal tunnel damage is also lessened. Reduction in fatigue allows for longer gaming, longer playing time. - There are five programmable buttons on the mouse; right, left, middle/scroll wheel, front and back. These can easily be reassigned using the Corsair Web Hub. They are rated for 100 million clicks. - The radio Frequency (RF - 2.4 Ghz/Low Latency) has no latency. - It has a 2-year warranty. What are the Cons (or could be considered Cons) about the Mouse: - Because of Newton’s Laws of Motion and need for speed in gaming which this mouse is designed around, the following can only be considered potential Cons based on the individual gamer and individual circumstances. But the mouse is exceptionally light and needs training through the online tools and on-hands practice or it could be considered too fast if someone has been gaming with a much heavier mouse for any length of time. The amazing lightness of the mouse after building up decades of muscle memory by moving a mouse three times heavier might make switching to 36g require a longer learning phase than a gamer’s patience might allow for. The lightness and responsiveness of the mouse allows movement as fast as a person’s reflexes, but practice and customizing for optimization is imperative in order to do this. But the potential to fine tune this mouse by using the online tools to personalize it to you individually, and the willingness to practice meeting that learning curve of using a lighter mouse might really pay off in the long run. - I would like to see ergonomics in the palm tail end portion of the mouse be slightly angled toward the thumb joint, but that would also require right-handed and left-handed options. - My computer was a little temperamental in using the Firmware Update Utility to flash updated firmware to both the USB wireless receiver and to the mouse. Hardwire use and using a browser that supports WebHID, Firefox and Safari are both important in successfully updating the firmware. In summary, this is an exceptionally light mouse that has been designed by actual pro gamers. Many of the factors needed for speed and agility have been considered and included in the design. The online software is a great advantage in practice and fine tuning the mouse and the best part is that it is ready to travel without backup software. The programming of the mouse stays with it. I definitely recommend this to anyone that is serious about upping their game. It is the tool to do just that.

The first thing that immediately stood out and grabbed my attention was how super light the mouse felt in my hands – it feels as light as holding just a few pages of regular printer paper. The entire mouse is made of dense but smooth-feeling plastic, and if your hands are dry, then it might feel a little bit slippery. In order to increase your physical connection to the mouse, you can use the included grip tape to improve tactile feel and handling. My hands often get sweaty during extended and intense gameplay, so I didn’t need to use the tapes and used the Sabre as-is. As expected from a mouse from this price point and gamer-centric design, all the buttons and switches are ultra responsive and provide satisfactory click and scroll sensations that feel precise and accurate. The only auditory aspect of the Sabre v3 Pro that initially kind of slightly bothered me was the loudness of the left and right mouse clicks, which was slightly louder than the Razer Orochi gaming mouse I came from. I got used to it after a while like we humans are good at doing, but it was something I noticed initially and not a big deal. If you play with headphones often like I do, then it won’t be an issue at all. The scroll wheel is superb, with its predictable and tactile feedback with every gentle push up or downward pull with a satisfying ratcheting sound effect, and it didn’t feel overly stiff. The scroll wheel button offered a balanced feeling that didn’t suffer from mushiness or heavy pre-travel. The side buttons are very responsive and clickity, and they also did not suffer from mushiness or a high travel distance. Besides being super light, the Sabre v3 Pro has many other positive things going for it, such as the 8,000Hz polling rate with improved battery life (up from ~16 hours to ~25 hours), the 42,000 DPI Marksman X optical sensor that eliminates lift-off disruption, leads to better crosshair stability in shooting games, and practically gets rid of micro-stutters even on high refresh rate monitors and TVs. I paired the Sabre v3 Pro to my Acer Predator Helios 18 gaming laptop with an RTX 4090 and a 250Hz screen, and I experienced no performance issues. My only gripes with the Sabre v3 Pro is that there is no dedicated DPI switch button – you have to use either the Corsair Web Hub browser interface or mouse button shortcuts (press and hold right mouse button and back button for 3 seconds) – and there is no on-mouse storage for the USB receiver/dongle. I understand that taking out those features made the Sabre v3 Pro even lighter but they sure are convenient features to have. *** Aimlab PureVector *** Corsair’s partnership with Aimlab has created a customization option called PureVector and it’s pretty nifty. You download and install Aimlab from Steam and launch it to begin the PureVector omnidirectional sensitivity training routine. You report to the app any issues you experience while playing a game such as overshooting the target, unable to turn fast enough, or running out of mousepad space. If those things don’t apply to you, then you can click on Not Sure and go on to the next section which asks you about your mouse grip style (I chose fingertip grip). After a few more questions, PureVector launches the calibration routine where you aim your gun to shoot at targets for five rounds of one minute each. After the session is over, it gives a personalized report describing your mouse behavior – it said I tended to underflick targets when aiming horizontally by 5%. It then makes omnidirectional sensitivity adjustments tailed to your personal movements and saves that information directly onto the Sabre, where that customized setting will be applied to games I play. *** Performance *** I played my usual suite of games before and after I went through the PureVector calibration, and I did notice a tangible improvement in my aim and speed. The improvement was more noticeable in shooters, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Counter Strike, and Far Cry 6, and not so much in more relaxed games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Resident Evil Requiem, and Crimson Desert. The custom calibration plus the lightness of the Sabre plus the responsiveness of the buttons really elevated my gaming experience to the next level. Now I know why this type of mouse exists and why they’re often coveted despite the relatively high cost of entry. *** Is it worth the coin? *** Yes. The Sabre v3 Pro is not just great for pro gamers but for anyone who allocates a significant amount of their time playing video games, especially fast-paced FPS shooters, hectic arena shooters (e.g., Apex Legends, Overwatch), battle royales (e.g., Fortnite, PUBG), and click-intensive RTS games (e.g., Starcraft, League of Legends). It’s super lightweight, all the buttons are clickity and responsive, the PureVector personalization truly makes a difference, and the battery life is great. It’s a great package.

I'm no pro gamer. I like to game. A lot. But I'm not a great competitive gamer at all. A mouse is a tool for me to get work done, but this mouse has made me think about what I can improve when I AM playing some competitive games. I'm starting to "get" it. Setup is super easy. Plug in the receiver or plug the mouse straight into your USB. Both work great and the mouse switches from wired to wireless mode pretty seamlessly. For configuration, this mouse uses Corsair's new web-based configuration and I'm a big fan. Settings live on the device so you don't need any software actually installed on your system. A web interface connects to and adjusts your mouse's settings for you and then it's just gone and you don't have to worry about bloating your system with software from every one of your devices. The only problem with it is that the web app needs a feature called WebHID which isn't supported in Safari and Firefox (the two browsers I use the most) so you'll need to swap over to something like Chrome or Edge for a moment when you need to setup your mouse. One setting I'm trying out and I really could use is "Ripple Control" which is supposed to reduce tiny cursor jitters at higher DPIs. I tend to notice a lot more jitter with this style of mouse when I click than any other style so it's a welcome feature if it can help at all with that. The mouse feels pretty good in your hand and gives you a lot of options for tailoring the feel more to your needs. Included is two different colored grip pads and an extra set of larger skates for the bottom of the mouse to get the grip and slide to be exactly what you're looking for. If you like a light weight, this one was made for you. It feels very light in the hand but also doesn't feel cheap or fragile. It still has a very solid feel without being heavy. Buttons and the scroll wheel have been improved (optical switches and scroll wheel encoder) that are supposed to give you near-zero-lag actuation and they claim are rated for 100 million clicks. I wasn't able to reach this number yet but I can say that the switches and the mouse wheel both feel very good to use. The scroll wheel has no extra travel so if you like a stiff wheel that doesn't unintentionally click for you every once and a while, you'll probably enjoy this one. Battery life is supposed to be 140 hours when using the 1000hz polling rate (25 hours if you crank it up to 8000hz). I can say that with the reported battery life and aggressive default sleep times (the mouse goes into a lower power state after 3 minutes of inactivity by default. You can customize the time, though), I'm willing to believe them. After almost a full week of normal use (I use my computer a lot), the battery life hasn't budged. Perfect for me because I always forget to plug in my mouse so as long as I remember once every couple weeks, I should be in good shape. Connection to the receiver has been good. I haven't noticed any oddities while wireless. It's pretty neat. This is the first receiver I've seen for a mouse that has a clip on it so you can clip the receiver to your clothes and make sure it's a perfect distance from your mouse for the best connection. I really wish other things did stuff like that. I know a few headphones I wouldn't mind seeing a feature like that added to. PureVector calibration is actually really cool. Again. I'm not a pro gamer. I'm not a super competitive gamer. But I wanted to test it out and had to actually download Aimlabs for the first time just to check it out. It's a free app/game on Steam, so no worries there. You do need to create an account with them but you can use your Steam login to make the accounts. The calibration process asks you a few questions. Most of them you can answer "I don't know" if you're not sure but it's basic stuff about what you think might be wrong with your aim and how you hold your mouse. Then the calibration takes you through 5 one minute "aim and shoot the target" tasks. They're all the same and your results are reported after each task on what you're doing wrong (I overflick on the horizontal axis a lot, I guess). After the 5 rounds, a customized DPI calibration is sent to your mouse and your mouse is locked to that DPI. The custom DPI is supposed to take into account the deficiencies it picked up while doing the calibration tests to bring your aim closer to "perfect". I found it really cool and intend on using it more as I play different games to refine and see how I improve. Overall, on the surface this looks like a pretty basic mouse. It does not have a very basic pricetag, though. If you're a competitive gamer, this is probably a no brainer mouse for you. It's built well and has a lot of features under the hood that only someone looking for that single millisecond improvement in some obscure benchmark will notice. The PureVector calibration alone might make it worth the price. If you're not a crazy competitive gamer, you might still enjoy the feel of this mouse and like to use the extra gamer features as an excuse to improve in some games you do enjoy playing. Either way, this is a gamer mouse. If it's in your budget, it's worth giving a look.

This style of mouse I have found tends to be my favorite type of mouse. It’s simplistic in it’s design. Two side buttons, your typical left and right click, and a scroll wheel which is also a button. The design, as mentioned, is simple. It’s very light weight, very little effort or resistance to move, seemingly only affected by the weight of my hand. The two side buttons, commonly referred to as forward and back, end up right underneath my thumb, making it very easy to press one or the other. All the buttons have a very satisfying click, although I feel like the forward and back buttons are a little stiff. Some may find this to be advantageous as to prevent accidently pressing when you didn’t mean to. I like the matt black look with the yellow accent. Just two simple arch glides on the bottom, however, if you think you’d benefit from something larger, Corsair included a larger glide in the box. I’m going to use mine as spares in the event I need to swap them out later. Also included are two sets of grips, one in black and the other white, that can be placed on the sides or left and right click buttons. They’re soft rubber with adhesive backing and they come with an alcohol wipe for application. Along with the accessories is Corsair’s braided cable for attaching the wireless receiver to the PC or charging the mouse. The wireless adapter has a USB C female plug and a clip. This is probably the most confusing part of this mouse as I’m not sure if I have any kind of use for a shirt clip on my wireless adapter. I’m also not a huge fan of wireless adapters that do not directly connect into a PC. As a laptop gamer, I do not want any cables besides the power adapter coming from my machine. You can also use PureVector tuning to adjust for a DPI setting that is more aligned with how you move the mouse and your aiming. Using Aim Labs, which can be downloaded for free in Steam, you can access the PureVector calibration tool which will have you to go through a series of aiming and clicking. Each session is about a minute long and it uses 5 sessions for the initial calibration. You can further refine this if you’d like, but the overall intent is to measure how you aim and set a DPI setting that allows you to be more accurate on getting on target and moving from one target to the next. The calibration is loaded straight into firmware so you don’t have to launch any software to apply the settings. I don’t think this is a gimmick at all. I did notice small improvements after each adjustment. I usually play long range on BF6 and it did seem like I was on targets a bit easier and leading a bit better than I had previously. This was perfect timing because the new Area 51 map is huge so plenty of opportunities to apply the calibration. The Corsair Web hub offers a way to adjust your device settings without having to install software. So far I have a few devices where I’ve utilized this and it’s been working great. On a gaming PC or Laptop you typically want to allocate resources to the game you’re playing so having stand alone software running in the background you don’t really need consumes RAM and CPU bandwidth that can be used for gaming. If you need to make an adjustment, just launch a browser, make the adjustment and close it out and back to what you were doing. With that, here’s a quick summary of what you can do with the Web Hub. I always recommend checking for firmware updates for stability and improvements. You can reassign a mouse button to be a certain keyboard key, combination of keys, cycle DPI settings, or control media. Also adjust polling, how long before going into low power state, lift height, as well as other features to help with mouse accuracy such as angle snapping, motion sync, and ripple control. You can check you’re mouse battery life here as well, which if using the default polling rate of 1,000, is supposed to net you 140 hours. That’s over 5 days of continuous use. Just a few nice to haves that this mouse is missing. My biggest gripe is, if you’re going to create a dongle that doesn’t directly plug into the PC, at least have bluetooth so I can pick up and go. I’d almost rather see this labeled as for “designed for desktop” if I have to connect a cable to use the adapter, to use the mouse. I would have also liked to have seen a dedicated DPI button. You can switch without assigning a button by holding the “back” button and right mouse click, but not something you’d want to do in a game. If using a sniper you may want one DPI and going to close range SMG, you may want something different, just nice to be able to quickly switch. As a gaming mouse, especially if you play competitive multiplayer games, I think you’ll be very happy with this. Being light weight reduces fatigue, increases accuracy as it’s less likely to be affected by friction, and PureVector calibration provides an analytical and statistical approach to DPI recommendation that may improve how you perform in games.

This is so light weight and so precise it really showed me how much I need to improve as a gamer. Though as I adapted to a much better mouse is, it has improved my aiming. I think the hardest part of using of trying to review this mouse is that I want to play games with it and not dig through the settings to see everything it is capable of. I think a few things worth mentioning on the setup side is the fact that I don’t have to install anything, it is a web app, which is absolutely amazing. You go to https://www.corsair.com/web-hub/index.html and allow your device and you are good to go for changing settings and updating firmware. I don’t really use the forward and back buttons on the mouse as forward and back buttons ever so being able to easily remap them to DPI switcher and sniper was perfect for me. The DPI switcher is nice as I will change between gaming on dual 27” monitors, a 49” inch ultra wide, and my 13” gaming tablet PC. So being able to cycle through the DPI settings depening on my setup is nice. The cord is definitely designed for more of a Computer setup and not really one that is on the move all the time. I have a little six inch USB C to USB C cable that works great and I just switch the dongle to the big cord when I’m at the desktop. The hook on the back is really nice for hooking inside my backpack so that I know exactly where it’s at and I don’t have to go digging for it. The mouse it’s self is a little too smooth for my liking so I utilized the included grip tape (there is black and white but I chose black for myself), this made a giant difference for me, I don’t think I’ve ever used grip tape on my mouse before and I am a fan. I think this mouse far exceeds my gaming ability but I don’t want to let my oldest use it that could probably utilize it much better than myself but I absolutely love the responsiveness. The last feature that I think is worth a call out is the physical switch on the bottom, not a button you have to hold down for 3 seconds but a switch that is very clearly off and on. Pros: Easily remap buttons Light Extremely responsive Multiple grip tapes included Dongle has a USB C inlet that allows you to chose your cord Physical power switch Web app for configuration Battery Life Back up wired via USB C cord. Cons: No Bluetooth? Pretty much if you want an amazing gaming mouse I would absolutely recommend this, I don’t really have any cons for this, there is no Bluetooth to say your non-gaming computer but also, that would make it slightly heavier and more complicated and this is meant to be an awesome gaming mouse, so I’m not sure I even really want that. What I really want is another dongle so that I can just leave one on my desktop.

This is truly a gaming mouse for those who are looking for a symmetrical gaming mouse that is so light that you would scarcely know it is in your hand at all when you are using it. This mouse has been designed for a truly gimmick free gaming experience with features and accessories included that compliment this goal. The mouse includes multiple grip tape options, skates, and a very hand wireless transmitter and has a clip on it which will allow it to be attached in a variety of places on a gaming setup. This mouse is quite the opposite of many I have used for gaming. Whereas there are many mice that are bloated and button laden with more features and connection options than most users could fathom, this mouse opts for simplicity. With that simplicity comes some interesting tricks to making adjustments on the mouse without the Web Hub software. As there is no dedicated DPI button on the mouse, you have to press and hold the right mouse button and back button together for three seconds to switch to the next DPI stage, allowing you to switch through each of the 5 DPI stages that are correlated with a triple flash of a corresponding color on the indicator LED at the top of the mouse. For example, Stage 3 which is 1200 DPI (also happens to be my preferred DPI setting for most games) is a triple flash of green. Customization of this mouse happens through the Corsair Web Hub which I am quite enjoying utilizing. I have almost always struggled with the traditional ICUE software, such as with my Corsair K100 Air keyboard, so having this web hub for control and customization makes things far more straightforward. The idea that the PureVector collaboration between Corsair and Aimlabs is available for calibrating your aim speed is super cool. I have several friends who spend a lot of time in AimLabs who I know would appreciate this feature. There is a rich abundance of customization options in the Web Hub that I fully recommend you explore. Altogether, this mouse is truly an amazing find for gamers looking for a lightweight gaming mouse that dispenses with a bunch of bloated and gaudy buttons and colors and LEDs in lieu of a design that is truly streamlined and allow for fantastic immersion into games without struggling with hardware and software issues. Thanks for reading and I hope you have found this review to be helpful!

Sometimes peripherals do not need to be flashy, this mouse is efficiency at its finest *****PROS***** - Extremely light and firm - Battery last if not on high polling rate - Responsive and clicky buttons - Additional shoes for less friction if needed *****Nitpicks***** - Matte finish does not go well with greasy hands I recently been liking what corsair has been doing with their peripherals, cut the fluff, and deliver quality and performance. In the box you get the mouse, USB C cable, Receiver, paperwork, and extra shoes. Once you get to plug in the mouse, no need to install any additional software, you can start using it right away. The method you use to modify DPI and polling rate is opening the WEB HUB which is a browser based page. Once again no need to install additional software This mouse is on the medium to small size, personally it is perfect for me since i have small hands, but if you have bigger hands it will take some time to get used to. Weight is also in the lower numbers, which is a must nowadays if you want to add efficiency specially in FPS. Also, no RGB for the people who like having pretty colors in their hands, personally I do not mind. Overall, would I recommend this mouse? yes if you want the performance and corsair thank you for not having me install proprietary software.

The first thing I immediately noticed was how lightweight this is. It's extremely lightweight. It may be the lightest mouse I've ever used. I like that for a thin, on-the-go setup. Another good feature of the Corsair Sabre v3 Pro Pure Vector Ultralight mouse is that there is no app to download. All the adjustments are made in a web-based browser like the Corsair web browser. Inside this browser hub you can adjust your settings. Mouse settings, DPI Settings, Polling Rate, etc. There are many DPI stages if you want to pinpoint your liking. This allows the mouse to cover more ground when responding to information while gaming. This is huge if you play a lot of FPS Games. So you can refine and hone in on your skills with the Sabre v3 Pro. The main plus with the Sabre v3 Pro was how light it was while using. Having XXL hands, the Sabre v3 Pro did fit inside my large hands. I didn't feel fatigue or cramping but there will still have to be much more testing. But for a thin and lightweight gaming mouse it fit my hands fine. This Mouse is for the hardcore gamer/FPS. When being accurate and fast counts, this is your Mouse! The only negative is the wireless receiver. Something as simple that it plugs into a USB-C/A is more than fine.

I'm a heavy gamer and go through alot of mice, and I thoroughly enjoy this mouse. Installation is pretty straight forward, just plug in the wire usb-c or use the wireless dongle. At the time of this writing, Corsair's software iCUE was not detecting the mouse, I'm sure there will be similar features when compared to the other Corsair mice when it is released. Otherwise, the actual use of the mouse and feel was great! It is VERY light, and there is a palpable difference when I compare this to other gaming mice. At 36g this thing feels like air. Couple the 36g lightness of the mice with a super accurate sensor, up to 8k polling (how fast a sensor refreshes it's signal to the system), and it just feels like an extension of your hand. In other words, very very accurate mouse and very light. My only issue is it's not for everyone's hand. To achieve this light weight, the mouse is a little smaller , when I rest my hand on the mouse it does feel slightly smaller than what I'm used to. This has some pro's and con's. It had to do this to achieve the lightness, it will feel unfamiliar initially, but it makes this a compelling portable gaming mouse. Overall that slight variation in form factor can only be felt by a heavy gamer, I don't think most people will feel the difference. So overall, this is still something I noticed, but a true 5/5 rated mouse. Love it and highly recommended!

For the past 5 or so years, I've used a Corsair Harpoon wireless mouse. It has served me well for these years, but recently, it has started to develop battery and scroll wheel issues. I jumped on the chance to try a new Corsair wireless mouse, and I'm pleased to say that I've found a worthy successor to my Harpoon. The first thing that struck me is just how light it is. I know they say that it's ultralight, and weighs 37 grams, but it's hard to realize just how little that is until you're holding it in your hand. To be honest, it's so light that it almost feels cheap. Chintzy. Like it would crack if you squeezed it hard enough (I've been too scared to actually try). The slightly hollow sound when you use the back and forward buttons on the side of the mouse only add to that, but that's about the last negative thing I have to say about this mouse. First off, because of how lightweight it is, gaming is so easy. I didn't think it'd make much of a difference, but when I'm playing a FPS and have to flick around quickly to see what made a noise or what have you, it's effortless. It's light enough that any movement of my fingers will move the cursor, as opposed to using my wrist on heavier mice. The buttons are fantastic. Each and every button on the mouse is tactile and responsive. They work like blue switches in a mechanical keyboard - they don't move at all until you've put in enough force to activate the switch. It doesn't feel squishy or mushy at all, and has honestly kind of ruined other mice for me. Just about everything feels squishy in comparison. The buttons aren't quiet, per se, but they're not loud either. Just a normal mouse click, really. The tracking itself is excellent, of course. Very high DPI. There's no button directly on the mouse to swap between DPI presets, but it's not a big deal. It's pretty much exactly the same as my preferred setting on the Harpoon, so I don't mind it at all. If you want to change your DPI or anything like that, you don't have to install Corsair iCue software, thankfully. The Harpoon has been stuck scrolling rainbow colors for years because iCue decided to reset my preferences, then cease to function entirely, and I was completely unable to uninstall the software. With this mouse, you don't need to download any software at all. You can change your settings on a website. It's amazing. I'll mention that you need to use Chrome, Edge, or Opera as your browser to do it, which saddens me as a Librewolf user. Even so, I can change the settings without any hassle. I've used this mouse hours a day, every day, since I received it I think a week and a half ago. I haven't charged it once. I have no idea how long this thing is going to go before I need to charge it, but it has already exceeded any expectations. Perhaps it's because the only light is the power indicator light that turns off a few seconds after powering the mouse on. Whatever the case, it's great. Additionally, it charges via USB C, and I can just use any cable to charge it. The harpoon required the charging cable that came with it because of its shape, since they put the port in a weird spot. It's a relief to see friendly design like this. All in all, this is an excellent mouse. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in a lightweight gaming mouse, or just wants a very high end one for normal use.

The Sabre V3 Pro Ultralight Wireless mouse from Corsair is the lightest gaming mouse I have used and is now my main mouse. I have used many different gaming mice over the years and I can't say I have used one this lightweight. It moves around effortlessly and feels very nice in my hand. In the box, you get the mouse, USB-C to C cable, 2 sets of grip tape (1 black and 1 white) and an extra set of skates. The extra skates cover more surface area so if you don't like the ones that come installed you can always swap them out. The grip tape has a nice texture to it and feels very nice and comfortable. Setup using the Corsair web hub is super easy and convenient. Set your preferred settings, update firmware and you are good to go. Here you can also use the slick feature of running PureVector calibration via Aimlabs to fine tune your mouse sensitivity. The web hub will open Aimlabs, go through the calibration process and then it will adjust settings automatically back in the hub. Very cool and works great! Overall, the mouse is really great. It's lightweight, smooth and feels really good. The extra skates and grip tape are a bonus and the PureVector calibration is the cherry on top. If you are looking for a new super light gaming mouse, I highly recommend the Sabre V3 Pro!

I am fairly new to the gaming world, and slowly upgrading my peripherals to improve my experience The latest is this gaming mouse As I was getting ready to purchase, I did my homework and found that Corsair is a leading brand, and that this new Sabre v3 PRO Pure Vector is one to look at I picked one up (they are not cheap), brought it home and immediately went to start setting it up Packaging was perfect and my initial observation is that this thing is light, like super light. It also fit perfectly into my hand. Taking it a step further, I started using the included grip tape attachments to make it perfect. That worked exactly as they said it would I then gave it a full charge and set-up the 2.4GHz wireless adapter. Paired it and looked for and installed some updates. Without too many details, there is a hub available where I could make further customizations Now the fun part - first uses Besides the lightness, this thing is incredibly fast with virtually no lag. You really do not understand lag until it is basically gone Also, as the manual says, this mouse learns my habits and how I game to only get better. After a short time of gaming, it naturally felt better So in short - I know it is not cheap, but it checked every box that I had and added a few I did not know I needed I would highly recommend to family and friends

I've owned more gaming mice than I care to admit, and apparently we're at the point where manufacturers are seeing just how much material they can remove before there's nothing left. The SABRE v3 PRO weighs 37 grams. That's nuts, especially considering this is a wireless mouse with a rechargeable battery. I've been a fan of lightweight mice for a while, but 37 grams is getting into territory where I start wondering how much lighter we really need to go. I spend a lot of time at my computer both working and gaming, and I can appreciate the difference in weight. There's very little resistance when moving the mouse around. I think some people will love that immediately while others might actually prefer something with a little more substance to it. The design is pretty understated, which I like. No ridiculous RGB lighting or unnecessary styling. Just a clean black mouse. The symmetrical shape is also fairly straightforward. Corsair clearly designed this with competitive gaming in mind rather than trying to make something that appeals to everyone - then again, a black mouse does appeal to most... The technology inside is where things get interesting. You've got an 8,000Hz polling rate, optical switches and a 42,000 DPI sensor. We're getting to the point where these numbers are almost comical. PureVector is probably the most interesting feature here. Corsair developed a system that can adjust sensitivity based on how you personally aim in different directions. I've spent enough time messing around with mouse sensitivity over the years to find that pretty fascinating. The idea that a mouse can compensate for differences in how you move left versus right makes sense. Trust me, it's not going to take you pro but at my age, I'll take any advantage I can get. I really appreciate is that Corsair lets you make adjustments through a browser instead of forcing another software installation onto your computer. I've already got enough utilities running in the background. One less application is always welcome. Battery life is worth mentioning because there's a pretty big difference depending on your settings. Corsair advertises up to 140 hours at 1,000Hz, but that drops to 25 hours at 8,000Hz. That's a substantial tradeoff. Personally, I think most people would be perfectly happy running a lower polling rate and enjoying the additional battery life. I also like that they include replacement skates and grip tape instead of making you purchase those separately. I appreciate the engineering involved in getting something this light while packing in all the latest technology, but I also think we're approaching diminishing returns. There are some excellent gaming mice available for considerably less money. That said, I like that Corsair is experimenting with something beyond the usual higher DPI and lighter weight marketing. Pure Vector is an interesting direction, even if the benefits are going to vary from person to person. If you're really into having the best for gaming and enjoy experimenting with the latest hardware, I can see the appeal. If you're just looking for a good wireless mouse for everyday use and occasional gaming, there's probably better value elsewhere. I'm impressed with what Corsair has managed to squeeze into 37 grams. I'm just not convinced everyone needs to spend this much to get a great gaming experience.

If you are looking for responsive, light and functional gaming mouse, this is an excellent choice. Two sets of adhesive grips are included, white and black, that give a stylish and firm grip on the top and sides. It also comes with adhesive bottom slid pads that make movements smooth and effortless. It charges wirelessly and the cable has a wireless adapter, that when charged, has a sturdy clip and fits on the base of my monitor well. One drawback is that the Corsair device software does not recognize it for driver updates and the Corsair Web Hub does not either. This is not a big deal, but seems like a new mouse should be recognized. However, the default Microsoft device drivers work well. You can still adjust configuration settings on the Corsair Web Hub, such as pointer speed and side button assignments. I have tested with several first person shooters and I have always been a controller player on the PC, but I am enjoying playing with this mouse and a keyboard. It seems a little small compared to some of my other controllers, but it fits my grip perfect. I highly recommend if you are looking for an easy to use and comfortable gaming mouse.

There is no denying that Corsair has engineered a marvel here. Holding a solid-shell wireless mouse that is only 37 grams is bizarre in the best way possible. For tracking and flicking, it has significantly improved my accuracy. The buttons are immediate with no pre-travel, and the pure PTFE feet glide smoothly over my cloth pad right out of the box. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the ergo design drops some of the safe, universal feel of the older models. The grip area narrows down quite a bit near the side buttons, which might feel a little unusual depending on how wide your hands are. Also, at this premium price tier, it doesn't come with many extra accessories in the box. That said, if you want pure performance and absolute weight reduction, it delivers. Pros: • Featherweight design eliminates wrist fatigue entirely • Exceptional battery optimization for an 8K polling capable mouse • Very smooth PTFE feet glides Cons: • Ergonomic taper might feel narrow for extra-large hands • Premium price tag with minimal unboxing extras
