1. Corsair Nightsword RGB
Our pick for the best Corsair mouse
Corsair’s Nightsword RGB gaming mouse is our pick for the best Corsair mouse. At just under $70, it is one of the more expensive wired mice on the market. However, it comes with Corsair’s custom PixArt PMY3391 18,000 DPI optical sensor (which gives you the ability to adjust the DPI settings by 1 step increments) and the ability to adjust the weight of the mouse from as low as 119 grams to as high as 141 grams.
These two features will allow you to find very specific feels for your mouse sensitivity and movement, which will ultimately give you better in-game control. The Nightsword is RGB-friendly (four-zone RGB lighting) and it is a wired mouse. It also comes with 10 fully-programmable buttons, rubber grips, and Omron switches.
This mouse is a bit on the bigger side, though, so if you don’t have bigger hands, you might want to look at some smaller options.
Overall, though, the Nightsword is one of the best mouse options from Corsair and, if you don’t mind spending ~$70 to get a high-end gaming mouse, it is an option you’ll want to consider.
2. Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB
The best MMO-style option
For those of you that primarily play MMO games, or other games that benefit from having a lot of macro keys available, the best option for you from Corsair will likely be the Scimitar Elite RGB.
With 17 different programmable buttons—including 12 buttons on the side of the mouse—and three customizable profiles, the Corsair Scimitar will allow you to take your MMO-gaming experience to the next level.
The Scimitar is available in all black or black and yellow, it comes with RGB lighting, and an 18,000 DPI sensor (adjustable by 1 DPI). It weighs a total of 147 grams, making it the heaviest option on this list. However, that is to be expected from an MMO-style mouse with all of those extra buttons added.
The bottom line here, though, is that if you’re looking for a high-end mouse that will give you a ton of extra programmable buttons, the Scimitar is not just the best Corsair option, it is one of the better MMO mouse options currently on the market.
3. Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro
The best wireless Corsair mouse
Corsair has a handful of solid wireless gaming mouse options, but their top wireless mouse is the Dark Core RGB Pro SE. The Dark Core has the same PixArt PAW3392 18,000 DPI sensor that comes on the two mice listed above. The sensor will allow you to adjust your DPI in 1-step increments, giving you incredibly precise control over your sensitivity levels.
The Dark Core also brings versatility to the way you connect it to your gaming computer. You can connect it via the ultra fast SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS technology, or through a Bluetooth connection, or you can go with a wired USB connection as well. So, if you do forget to charge it, you can always just switch to a wired connection.
You can also pair it with a Qi-compatible mouse pad (Corsair’s MM1000, for example) and never have to worry about it staying charged again.
The Dark Core comes with 8 programmable buttons, RGB lighting, and weighs in at 142 grams.
Overall, in terms of the best wireless gaming mice on the market, the Dark Core RGB Pro SE is one of the top options currently available. So, if you’re in the market for a high-end wireless gaming mouse, the Dark Core is one option you’ll definitely want to consider.
4. Corsair M65 RGB Elite
Good choice for first person shooters
For a bit more affordable of an option, Corsair offers the M65 RGB elite. The M65 is a very solid option for competitive gamers as it comes with the same 18,000 DPI optical sensor found on the options listed above.
It also comes with a Sniper-specific button that will drop the DPI when clicking and holding. This will give competitive gamers (mainly in first person shooters) the ability to play at higher DPI settings in non-serious situation, and then quickly drop to a lower DPI setting in crucial moments where accuracy is everything.
Like the Corsair Nightsword, the M65 also comes with a tunable weight system. You can adjust the weight of the M65 from as low as 97-grams to as high as 115-grams.
In the end, with a pricetag of under $50, the M65 brings a lot of high-end features to the table. So, if you like the Corsair Nightsword, but you don’t necessarily want to spend up to get it, the M65 is a very solid alternative.
5. Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless
Excellent budget-friendly Corsair mouse
If you are looking for an even more affordable wired or wireless option, Corsair’s Harpoon mouse can be had for even less than the M65 or the Dark Core. It is available as both a wired and wireless mouse.
The wired version of the Harpoon will cost you just under ~$25 and the wireless version comes in at just under ~$40.
The Harpoon doesn’t have the same 18,000 DPI optical sensor as the options listed above, but its 12,000 DPI sensor (10,000 DPI for the wireless version), should be good enough for most gamers. And, on the wired version of the mouse, you do get the ability to adjust your DPI in 1-step increments.
Ultimately, the Harpoon isn’t Corsair’s most extreme gaming mouse. However, it is a solid budget-friendly mouse for those of you who don’t need a premium product, but, rather, just a solid overall mouse, instead.
Which Corsair Gaming Mouse is Right for You?
Corsair has a wide range of gaming mouse options available and, the right option for you will depend a lot on your own personal preferences and the amount you have to spend. So, whether you’re looking for a high-end wireless gaming mouse, a mid-range option, or a sub-$30 mouse, Corsair has a product that will fit your needs..
