Pros

Corsair dark core is a heavier mouse, but it's great for medium to large hands. The mouse is comfortable to use, although it is larger apparently in comparison to logitech anywhere mx 2s.



Cons

The battery drain is too fast, lasts about 2 days max of medium to heavy use. The wireless mode keeps disconnecting and the cursor will stutter. Even with a high-quality powered usb hub, and nothing else connected, the mouse will not work.

Out of the box this mouse lasted 2. The battery life on this thing is terrible. I use a corsair keyboard and love it, but this mouse went straight into the trash after 2 weeks.

I only hope some famous youtuber with millions of subscribers buys this thing and exposes what seems to me like a scam. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

Now i have a mouse which randomly acts as if i’ve double clicked the left button.

Corsair's icue software isn't exactly intuitive to use. Gaming with it is nearly impossible as there is 100% going to be tracking issues.

Very pleased with mouse seems very good quality.


Would suggest the model that comes with the charging mat if you don’t want to deal with charging the mouse every couple of days.


Glad i was handed the product , now lets see if it fixes my gaming problems

Price


Excellent product, consumer price friendly, and fast shipping.


Not a bad price but i got mine on sale.

Packaging/appearance


They removed the snipper button but i never used it and now the thumb buttons are easier to find.

Competitiveness


It is only slightly bigger than the g502 but it is far superior than it in many ways.


Only held back by the horrible icue software.


Cons: the corsair icue software is a pain to use and it literally crashes my pc when trying to game.


I had a mionix mouse for years that i absolutely loved but the middle mouse switch was dying on me.

    Some people have had trouble charging the mouse on a qi pad


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some people center the mouse on the charging pad and the mouse will not charge that way giving the impression of a shorter battery life etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The icue software is terrible for assigning key functions to the mouse and the videos and other aids posted by corsair contain a lot of errors contradictions and outright misinformation


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However i dont like how corsair discontinued the m1000 qi wireless charging mousepad


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you are going to make a mouse with qi wireless charging then you also need to sell a proper charger
