Surprised at how good it feels

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023

I had been using a Redragon M711 for more than a few years now. It served me well and I really liked it, thinking it had the same quality as past mice I had spent a lot more money on. However, it started developing a squeak in the scroll wheel which was very annoying so I recently replaced it with the exact same one, thinking it should last a few years again. Unfortunately, after only a month, the new one also developed the squeak in the scroll wheel. Also, the right mouse button took a little more effort to click, even after taking it apart and 'fixing' it (there was access plastic in the moulding that was blocking the clicking path). Needless to say, I decided to spend a little more on my next mouse in hopes of a better experience.

This Corsair Sabre made me realize how much better a mouse can and should be. It really is noticeably lightweight and glides with little effort on my mousepad. The best part though, is the clicky goodness of all the buttons. They are super responsive, take little effort, and just feel good to use. The size of the mouse is also good for me and provides good ergonomics for larger hands. My only minor suggestion would be that they could have added a little bit more lighting areas, but that is just personal preference.

I do not regret my purchase at all and am really enjoying this mouse.

Great shape, useless software, tragic scroll wheel

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2022

Best shaped mouse I've ever used, and the balance and weight and sensor are amazing. Battery life is quite good as well. The software is half baked and will kick you out of software you're using without warning (including games!!!!). It's also bloated and contains extra services that will run despite other Corsair hardware not being present in your system. The key mapping suuuuuuucks, even the tooltips can't fix the bad UI.

And then the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel seems to go to sleep mid-game during heavy action, and sleeps for just long enough that you can't perform actions when necessary. It's confounding, I had an old Corsair M65 that I used for years despite it being too small, it never failed like this mouse.

I really wanted to like this mouse, the shape and size and weight are DIALED, and it's a joy to lift and point and click. Going back to a Glorious Model D Wireless, it's slightly edged out as far as shape and size, but the scroll wheel is reliable and the software works.

Running Windows 11 with an AMD 5800X, B550 ITX Board with 32GB Memory, RTX 3080.

Excellent Gaming Mouse!

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023

Style: RGB PROPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

Got this to replace the Corsair Ironclaw. Works very well and comfortable in your hand. I also like the fact that there's no rubber grip on this mouse. The only rubber piece on this mouse is the scrolling wheel. The paint job on this mouse feels of good quality too. Only time will tell if it'll eventually peel off like on the Ironclaw. The Ironclaw was a good mouse for about 2 years. Then it started to go bad. The scrolling wheel began to act funky. The paint began to peel on the area where you palm rests on the mouse. The rubber grips began to wear away as well. So in honesty, I don't recommend the Ironclaw and if you do get a Corsair mouse, can't go wrong with this Sabre model.

Good Mouse for the price if found on discount

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022

Style: RGB PRO WIRELESSPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

Got this mouse for 70 USD on a discount. Can pair seamlessly with my corsair virtuoso's dongle, is fast, responsive and ergonomic, so it feels good in the hand while gaming. The body of the mouse is plastic, with a slightly textured plastic on most of the frame and a more polished looking one around it, however it feels sturdy and well made, the buttons are fast and clicky, with no wobble or extra travel that I can notice.

Only con for now is that there's this creaking that can happen at the back of the mouse of you squeeze it, and that wasn't present on the wired version of it. However it is minimal and does not impact gaming or working at all, only happens when I actively press it. We will see how it evolves, but for now I give it a 8.5/10.

Formerly my favorite Right Handed Ergo Mouse - UPDATED (Sept 2022)

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021

Style: RGB PROPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

No longer recommended, see updates for reasons why.

Pros:
- Great Build Quality. No squeaks or rattles of any kind. It seems that this can be hit and miss according to other reviews.
- Very Comfortable
- Extremely fast and crisp clicks on all buttons.
- DPI Readout
- Lightweight
- iCue is very powerful and fully featured

Cons:
- iCue software is huge, may cause issues on some systems.
- iCue is required to startup with Windows in order to set things like polling rate, DPI, RGB, button mappings, etc.
- The mouse goes into random RGB mode when the computer is locked.
- No way to turn off RGB without software
- Mouse Acceleration (Enhanced Pointer Precision) is enabled by default and buried in the settings menu.

Info:
Many years ago I had a Deathadder and absolutely loved the shape for my grip. I have a bit of a relaxed palm grip (19x10ish cm hand size). At 1600 DPI, I use my fingers to make minute adjustments when browsing, but rely more on my wrist when gaming. It's hard to explain, BUT, the way I hold my mouse, the shape of the Deathadder felt great, if not perfect. Unfortunately, I owned two and both broke within a year, so I jumped ship. Fumbling my way through the mouse world, I snagged a Steelseries Rival 300, which was alright, and then grabbed a Glorious Model D. I liked the model D but there were build quality issues with it, and it didn't fit my hand as well as I was hoping.

When I got this mouse, it fit my hand perfectly right away; I knew it was a keeper. I've used this for the past week for work and plenty of FPS gaming and everything has felt natural and smooth. Literally hit the ground running. No adjustment physical period like I got with other mice where I could feel I was used to the shape of my previous mouse. What took a bit of time was setting up the mouse the way I liked it. Disabled Enhanced Pointer Precision, 2 KHz polling rate, 1600 DPI, and my macros for several games. But once you get used to the iCue software, things are a breeze. Just a bit of a learning curve there. The only other thing worth mentioning is that the skates aren't as slick as the ones on my Model D, the PTFE is just better on that mouse. Perhaps the aftermarket will take care of that.

Overall: At this price point, It's probably the best Right Handed Ergonomic mouse you could ask for. It has all the bells and whistles, great build quality, and just feels good in your hands.

UPDATE (July 2022) - In April of 2022, after 11 months of ownership, I started experiencing an issue that made the mouse nearly unusable. I work from home and have a nice setup where I can use the same mouse and keyboard for both my work laptop and my desktop with a press of a button. So this mouse sees nearly constant use. And don't misconstrue that as an excuse for why the mouse started malfunctioning in less than a year's time, just giving some background. The issue was that the scroll wheel started to become less and less responsive. Scrolling would sometimes result in the document/webpage/whatever barely scrolling at all. Sometimes it would scroll a few lines up in the wrong direction. It became so bad that I swapped the mouse out with an old backup mouse and contacted Corsair support. The experience was good for the most part. Support was responsive, but they had me run through some unnecessary troubleshooting steps like resetting the mouse's settings, despite it clearly being a mechanical problem. After about a full day of email correspondence, they sent me an advanced replacement with a prepaid label to send the defective product back. So, overall, not bad. I received the mouse in a few days and so far there are no problems with the replacement other than some light squeaking from the side mouse buttons. I'm docking a star from my original review because I don't believe a $60 product like this should be breaking in less than a year's time.

UPDATE (Sept 2022) - The scroll wheel issue is back with my replacement mouse. Corsair support is making me go through the same troubleshooting steps again while insisting that they contact "Tier 3 Specialists" for extra support. It's been over two days since I've heard back from them. Calling them gets me nowhere. So I'm stuck with yet another broken mouse, waiting for "specialists" to tell me what I already know. There's a fundamental defect in the design of the scroll wheel of this mouse. I have no confidence that a 2nd replacement will be any different. Frustrating support, bad design. Shame, really, because I really like this mouse when it's working properly. However, I can no longer recommend this product.

This mouse ROCKS!

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023

Style: RGB PRO WIRELESSPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

<3 This is the best mouse I've had YET!!! \m/ AND I saved a boat load of money on this one vs other $100+ "gaming mice". I feel so sorry for gamers anymore because their getting taken to the cleaners and back a wirseless mouse is not new tech by any means and I wouldn't spend 100$ on one with a gun to my head! That why I LOVE this mouse! Affordable and has worked FLAWLESSLY! Corsair coming through in the clutch again!!! You can even customize the color on it a bit which is a very nice touch. BEST OF ALL the DPI button is flush with the mouse so I NEVER click it accidentally like with many other "gaming" mice I've owned in the past. Smooth feel on the pad and great grip feeling in your hands for those sweaty hands bois out there. The sleep mode works like a charm and the only thing I didn't absolutely love about this mouse is the battery life like BUT the mouse is super light weight so you can flick around and get those sick headshots so its a very minor thing but I do find myself charging it a bit more than my other mice but the best part about that is the mouse clearly shows you when it needs a charge long before it ever just shuts off do to low power(like the mouse I replaced this one with would do that to me all the time! and is now in the bin) And as a cute lil bonus the ICUE software that comes with the mouse is also a great way to monitor your CPU and GPU temps as well as customize the mouse and stuff(its all bundled in the mouse software) which is a nice touch and let me replace older Temp utility programs I had so the software with this was basically a three in one for me at least. Lastly I'm a huge person 6'4 with fairly large hands and this mouse fit my hand like a custom fit glove or sports coat PERFECT!!! Can't think of anything bad to say about this mouse its most excellent and best of all its not a complete ripoff like those other $100+ "gaming" mice out there. Don't get suckered into wasting your money on a primitive piece of technology GET THIS AWESOME MICE INSTEAD! =D

Love this mouse

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2022

Style: RGB PROPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

I love this mouse. I had a Razer DeathAdder Elite Destiny 2 Edition gaming mouse for 4 1/2 years, and after a while the pads on the side fell off. I glued them back, but they didn't quite fit after they fell off, and so I got handle tape, cut it to fit, and glued that, which eventually failed. Oh, well, 4 1/2 years is a reasonable run. I did some research this morning, chose this mouse, ordered it on Amazon, and it came 4 hours later! It feels better in my hand than the Razer--it floats but with total control. The one annoyance was that it's default is changing LED colors, which I found distracting, and the iCUE software wouldn't install on my Mac Monterey no matter what I tried. So I dragged the Windows laptop out of storage, installed iCUE for Windows, set the color to a constant deep green, and that must be a hardware setting in the mouse, as it's now happily just showing green. I really love the wire--it's soft, light, and doesn't feel like anything when I'm moving the mouse around. I don't game, but I do a lot of work in apps like Photoshop and SolidWorks where a mouse is critical. If you're looking for a great mouse, I'd say this is one for sure.

Perfect mouse for my size hand, very lightweight for shotters games. At this moment has a good performance for gaming and office use for pc. I think if this mouse going to has 2 bottons for dpi would be a perfect mouse.

Excellent performance but the battery life is "meh"

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023

Style: RGB PRO WIRELESSPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

I upgraded to this Corsair mouse after having the middle click of every Logitech mouse I've ever owned die after about a year of use, and I'm not disappointed. I picked it up for about $40 on sale, and it was an absolute steal at that price. It's comfortable, accurate, and especially responsive after you set the polling rate to 2,000Hz in iCue. Clicks feel good, too.

Unfortunately, even with RGB lighting disabled, I find myself topping off the battery once a week or so. It just feels like it doesn't last that long between charges, which is disappointing given the non-sale price. I'd still recommend it, but keep that in mind.

Feature set leaves little to be desired, but quality control is riddled with issues.

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2023

Style: RGB PRO WIRELESSPattern Name: Gaming MouseVerified Purchase

This mouse is great, but I have to say for the price I paid for it I'm super disappointed with this mouse, it's a great ergonomic design that is one of my favorite, but it is plagued with issues. For instance my mouse wheel has stopped working 5 months after I got the mouse, and not to be outdone, software has once again shown us that either these companies just don't care enough to quality control their drivers, or the tech just isn't there yet (spoiler alert the tech has been there for years now).

Their .5 ms response time option has a wide known issue that causes games that use easy anticheat (this is one of the only parallels I can find) come to a 6 to 7 frame standstill despite that not happening with a wired mic or changing the option to 1 or 1.5 ms. This is frankly unacceptable, one of the things that sold me was the super quick response time, and you're telling me that one of the most popular anticheat softwares conflict with the drivers of the mouse?

I have a nitpick about the design of the pads, I feel like they're really not all that great for avoiding too much friction which can sometimes cause it to almost resist you as you're moving, especially if it's warm in your room, odd I know. That said it's probably one of my favorite mouse shapes, low and wide is one of my favorite, although I did expect it to be a fair amount lower, but I guess there's probably a limit to that with wireless mice.

All of that being said, there are some positives to this mouse, it's design is great, I've had little issues with the sensor bugging out (I have had some range issues but generally it's alright), and when you can use the .5 ms option without it exploding your CPU, it's absolutely butter, it feels so good. Thankfully I can fully experience that in CS, that is if I remember to change it before I launch the game. The switches feel pretty sturdy too, like lots of life in them, I've had a couple mice where it didn't even feel like they were going to last me the week let alone a year, so that's a nice change of pace. As much as I hate the software, when it isn't ruining your life, it can offer some cool stuff, though that being said a lot of it is super gimmicky and the rest is adjusting mouse settings which is like, just like every other software on the market, something that's been done thousands of times.

All of that being said, this mouse is pretty solid in the features department, but fully falls flat on it's face once you actually consider the product in practice, and apparently, a fair number of things I have talked about in this are already well known things about the mouse, except somehow that doesn't seem to reflect in the reviews... hmm. I probably wouldn't recommend getting this mouse at shelf price, had I known what I know now I probably wouldn't have paid more than like 35 bucks for this thing, it's just way too big of a gamble for the price they ask.
