9 Best Corsair Mice for 2022

Harpoon Pro is one of the most affordable mice Corsair makes. It’s not the company’s most extreme model, but that’s one of the reasons why it’s so popular among gamers.

Let’s start by saying that this may be the right mouse for you regardless of whether you want a wired or wireless pointing device since it comes in both versions.

This cheap Corsair mouse both feels and looks more expensive than it is. Corsair has made some sacrifices to ensure the Harpoon Pro is both effective and affordable. For instance, the chassis doesn’t have a rubberized texture, but it’s present on both sides where you need it the most.

Talking about the sides, they flare out toward the bottom, forming a comfortable platform that you can rest your fingers on.

The overall round shape of the mouse is higher than standard ones. However, it still works well with all grip styles.

It offers what you’d expect from a basic gaming mouse. It has three buttons on the top, two more on the left side, and a DPI controller. Each click gives a satisfying feel that isn’t too stiff.

Strangely, the mouse doesn’t close around the scroll wheel, and instead, there is a gap between the two buttons. While looking a bit unusual, this design doesn’t impact its performance.

The scroll wheel is rubberized but has no RGB light. And though it’s an RGB Corsair mouse, the only lighting you get is in the Corsair logo under the palm of your hand. 

In the iCue software, you can change the DPI settings between 250 to 6,000. This is average for a gaming mouse, but it should satisfy most play-action needs.

It’s an incredibly light mouse weighing only 85g.

No matter what kind of budget you’re working with, you should be able to afford this mouse. Many gamers view it as the best Corsair gaming mouse for the money. The wired version is available for $29.99, while you can get the wireless version for $49.99.

Every gamer knows how handy an MMO mouse can be. Scimitar Pro RGB is Corsair’s take on this type.

Corsair added a 16,000 DPI optical sensor to improve its Scimitar MMO mouse. And while you may never need so much for this genre, you have complete control over its sensitivity. You can adjust it to a single digit. 

The side panel is a returning feature, but it has textured buttons that provide enhanced grip and an improved feel.

It has twelve programmable buttons that expand your options when playing. They sit on an adjustable plate to suit your needs. It also features a nice tactical bump that allows you to assess which button your thumb touches.

All twelve buttons are handy in MMO games as they’ll let you rapidly pull off combinations that would otherwise require more effort. If you’ve never had a mouse with a side panel before, using it effectively requires practice.

The opposite side of this Corsair MMO gaming mouse is rubber coated to rest the right side of your hand.

Corsair Scimitar has a total weight of 147g, which puts it on the heavier side. However, with so many additional buttons, it is expected. Its large ergonomic design has a nice arching shape that cups against your hand.

The plastic surface features a matte finish that gives the device a more expensive look. On top of the mouse, Corsair proudly showcases its logo.

The RGB in its name refers to its four lighting zones on the front, wheel, buttons, and logo. You can control each of them via the Corsair iCue software.

It comes in black and yellow, allowing you to pick the better option for your setup.

Unfortunately, Corsair didn’t make a wireless version of this multi-button mouse, but we like the quality of its braided cable.

All in all, it’s not only the best Corsair MMO mouse but one of the best overall for this genre. And you can purchase it for $79.99.

Like many other gaming device manufacturers, Corsair strives to design the best gaming mouse possible. That’s how the company approached the Sabre RGB Pro, a mouse with an insane polling rate.

Gaming mice usually have a polling rate of 1,000 Hz. This is more than enough to satisfy your everyday gaming needs. Like the Razer Viper 8K, Sabre RGB Pro has 8,000 Hz.

While this is amazing, chances are you’ll have to keep it at 4,000 or less. You need a powerful gaming machine to benefit from higher rates. 

However, if you manage to use 8,000 Hz, you'll be sending eight times the amount of data to your computer compared to a more traditional mouse.

This increase should result in better performance, but the upgrade isn’t necessarily visible in everyday gaming. But if you’re competing, it might just be what gives you an edge over your opponents.

Outside of the polling rate, Sabre RGB Pro is also a great everyday gaming mouse with its 18,0000 max DPI sensor. 

The design of this Corsair wired mouse is pretty standard, with all of its buttons being where you’d expect them. On the left are two extra buttons made of the same matte plastic as the rest of the device.

And while the Sabre RGB Pro and Razer Viper 8K share many great features, the former isn’t ambidextrous. And due to a bulge on the Sabre’s back, it’s a better choice for players who prefer a claw grip. Otherwise, it’s ergonomically pleasing.

It’s a fairly lightweight mouse at only 75g. This makes it the lightest Corsair mouse you can pick up. The reduced weight makes it easy to move and allows quick adjustments through your sniper scope.

It features two RGB zones - one on the logo and the other one on the scroll wheel.

At $59.99, it’s an excellent mouse to pick up even if your PC doesn’t support the 8,000 Hz polling rate - you can always upgrade.

This mouse is also available wireless with the same polling rate.

Gamers often have concerns about wireless mice not being as fast and responsive as their wired alternatives. Dark Core RGB Pro puts those worries to bed.

Ever since going into production, Dark Core has been in the running as the best Corsair wireless mouse on the market. The manufacturer revamped the look of this model by ditching the busy thumbpad and going for cleaner side buttons.

With its interchangeable side grips, you can swap the right flank for a more comfortable finger rest. That’s also where you can store the USB adaptor when not in use.

The scroll wheel on this Corsair RGB wireless mouse also got a tiny makeover with the inclusion of bumpy rubber.

You can only find two reflective surfaces on the device - a small strip between the right and left clicks and a high-gloss band at the very rear.

We like what this mouse has going on with its RGB lights. First, there’s the strip-lighting down the left side that’s mesmerizing. Then, there are dot lines representing DPI that are pleasing and handy.

You can play with the colors and adjust them to your liking in the iCue software.

It features eight programmable buttons that are easy to reach with your fingers. 

Two of the extra buttons are on its left side, which might take some time to get used to. Fortunately, during testing, it didn’t impact the gaming experience.

Button positioning isn’t the only thing that has changed. Corsair also went more aggressive with 18,000 maximum DPI.

It also doubled the polling rate to 2,000 Hz. While this doesn’t make it an eSports mouse, it is closer to other wireless mice in the same price range. And with the higher polling rate, you will benefit from more accurate reading and improved performance.

When playing, you can’t tell this is a Corsair Bluetooth mouse as it performs just like a standard wired mouse.

Battery life is excellent, with a maximum of 50 hours.

It weighs 133g, making it one of the heavier mice from Corsair.

This Corsair wireless mouse typically goes for $79.99. While at the time of writing, you can pick one up for $59.99 on Corsair's Amazon store.

The 18,000 DPI optical sensor is a substantial upgrade over the 12,000 DPI sensor in the previous Pro version.

While anyone can use it, the M65 RGB Elite is Corsair’s attempt to satisfy players who prefer a claw grip mouse. It is comparably shorter than other mice on the market.

One unique feature worth mentioning is its dedicated sniper button. Corsair placed it on the left panel, allowing you easy thumb access. It’s different in size and color from the other side buttons, so you can easily recognize it.

In addition to the sniper one, this Corsair FPS mouse has two side buttons on the left side, which are also reachable with your thumb. Both are larger and more carefully placed than the Pro version.

Also on the left side is a large plastic grip for resting your thumb when not using any side buttons. The grip on the opposite side looks similar but has slightly less finger space.

The scroll wheel has one of the best textures and comes with RGB lighting.

One of the M65 features players go crazy about is its removable weights that give flexibility to its feel and action. Even with all three, the device maxes out at 115g. Without them, it stands at only 97g.

The M65 Elite offers two zones of RGB illumination, both controllable by the iCue software. One of these zones technically splashes into two, as there are lights on the Corsair logo and underneath the entire mouse.

While black seems to be the color of choice, we fell in love with this Corsair white gaming mouse. The white chassis complements the gray side panels and RGB lighting perfectly.

At $59.99, it’s not exactly a cheap mouse, but the price tag is well-deserved.

This is a right-handed mouse with ten buttons, classifying it as an FPS and MOBA device. Gamers often use it for these gaming genres because of its extended left-side thumb rest.

Nightsword has two pairs of macro buttons, one set you can use with your pointer finger, with the other positioned slightly below. The first controls the DPI by default, but you can change this in the iCue software.

This Corsair wired mouse is quite large. It’s broader and longer than standard ones.

Not only that, but it’s also one of the heaviest Corsair makes. This is especially the case when applying all six small weights to the base. Without them, the mouse weighs 119g, which is already quite a lot. With add-ons, it comes in at 141g.

All this extra weight is the primary reason we see it more as a MOBA than an FPS mouse. However, it features a sniper button is best for the latter genre. So, if you don’t mind the extra weight, it can get the job done in games like CS:GO and Valorant.

One aspect that stood out is how its center of gravity shifts depending on which weights you use. It may seem complicated, but once you’ve tested the mouse, you’ll find it easy to optimize.

Both the chassis and side grips have a unique texture that is pleasing to the touch. And while we’ve grown accustomed to such, it fits the overall design well.   

This Corsair mouse has four RGB zones located on the logo, under the scroll wheel, and at the front and rear of the device. Its lighting looks subtle and more elegant than what’s usually the case with gaming mice.

You can get it for $59.99 on Corsair's Amazon store.

Gamers with big hands don’t have as many options as other gaming enthusiasts have when it comes to mice. Corsair made this specific model with them in mind. Its size and design make it the best Corsair gaming mouse for players with large hands.

We’ll start by saying that you shouldn’t let the name confuse you. Although it’s called Ironclaw, this pointer is a palm grip mouse. Its large size sticks out, and it might convert some big-handed claw grip gamers into palm grip ones.

And despite its size and broader than an average body, it isn’t very heavy at 105g.

Its buttons aren’t physically split, but clicking remains consistent when pressing your fingers. As such, gameplay is not interrupted. 

This mouse has five side buttons, one of which controls the DPI. They’re scattered around the left side of the device but offer enough resistance to prevent accidental triggering.

Just like the name, everything about this mouse feels unusual. Corsair’s design uses a curious combination of materials featuring black matte soft-touch plastic and rigid plastics on its sides.

While most Corsair gaming mice feature tons of RGB light, this isn’t the case with Ironclaw. There are two lit zones - the company’s logo and the middle mouse button, neither of which is extra large. As usual, you can control them through the company’s customization software.

It’s important to say that Ironclaw isn’t all about size. After all, it’s a gaming mouse, and as such, it comes with some serious specs. For example, its sensor lets you go up to 18,000 DPI in one-step increments.

You’d expect an extra-large mouse with some amazing specs to be more expensive than usual, especially when a prominent manufacturer like Corsair makes it. However, Ironclaw is available at just $79.99.

Gamers consider this mouse to be FPS-oriented. And when you take a close look at it, it’s obvious why.

Let’s start with the fantastic custom sensor Glaive Pro packs. According to the Corsair website, the foundries of PixArt commissioned this part. It’s capable of driving your DPI up to 18,000 through single-digit adjustments.

It relies on its tiny RGB marks to tell you which DPI option you’re using at the moment. If you change it regularly mid-game, this feature comes in handy.

Glaive Pro features all the standard mouse buttons and two additional ones on the left side of the device.

During gameplay, it’s the best Corsair mouse for FPS you can find. The sensor is exceptionally sharp and responsive. And although the manufacturer makes it with FPS players in mind, Glaive Pro performs very well in MOBA games.

You can tell that its design is for long marathons of gameplay with its bank of three side panels you can attach to it. A carefully designed base further supports this use. 

Each of the three panels you get makes the mouse feel entirely different in your hand. One of them, its winged grip, adds a flare you can rest your thumb on.

None of the panels impact the device’s weight significantly. In its stock configuration, it is relatively sizable at 115g.

Attaching the panels is easy, with two magnetic slots on the mouse's body holding them in place. This allows you to switch between configurations during gameplay quickly.

While the left side of the mouse is switchable, the right side where you can rest your pinky isn’t. However, it has a diamond rubber textured grip, like all its panels. You’ll find this feature helpful during those frantic bouts of clicking.

Of course, Glaive Pro wouldn’t be a Corsair gaming mouse if it didn’t come with RGB lights. You find three zones on this model.

There’s no wireless version of it.

At $109.99, it’s one of the more expensive options. However, it's a fair price considering what you get, especially the three side panels.
