CORSAIR DARKSTAR RGB WIRELESS MMO Gaming Mouse – 26,000 DPI – 15 Programmable Buttons – Up to 80hrs Battery – iCUE Compatible – PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox – Black

Great mouse work’s brilliant, had a while now and battery life is the sane as when I got it new!Instant response time, looks great, has more than enough extra buttons, work well with ICUE and is well worth the money.Spend the money get the best, cheaper knock off brands cannot hold a single RGB light to this mouse!

Been after a good wireless MMO mouse which could used with a palm grip since i like the comfort. Wanted something to replace my Logitech G604 after moving to that from the G602. Tried the Aerox 7 and Naga Lightspeed but just could not get comfortable with the claw grip/fingertip grip that these offered. Finally found the Darkstar, this mouse is amazing, nice and lightweight with a really precise sensor. You don't even feel it in your hand so no hand fatigue. Loads of cheesy lighting if you like that kind of thing. Usb c charging is appreciated and up to date. Only downside is the buggy i cue software which crashes quite often on my computer but can live with it. Highly recommended.

I'm going to base this review on someone who has used the Logitech Superlight for over 1 year.This mouse might be targeted at those in the MMO scene but I found massive benefits while playing GTA online, Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Overwatch.For example, with Cod, I can bind my killstreaks, melee, mount, lethal and tactical, hold breath for sniping all to the side buttons, and still have a few mouse binds left over!In one of the photos provided, you will see my GTA online keys, all assigned to the mouse.Unfortunately, I did encounter one issue, and it was related to cursor skipping, I thought it was the sensor itself, but it turns out it was actually an issue with my USB wireless dongle, I had to use the Logitech Receiver extension adapter and this fixed the issue, for a mouse this pricey, it should come in the box Corsair!! (Please see one of my photos, I'm using the Logitech extension adapter.)Pros-Can program any key to the mouse buttons, including macros like TEXT.-Bluetooth works great-onboard memory for profiles-ICue profiles work great, I can pair games to profiles so when I load into say GTA, all my binds are at the ready-The side mouse buttons feel great, my thumb isn't touching any of the side buttons.-2.4ghz slipstream supported-The USB adapter can support 2 in 1 dongle, meaning a Corsair-compatible keyboard like the k110 air can sync with the mouse usb dongle, fewer USB hubs neededCons-Battery life isn't fantastic, lasts around 20 hours with RGB, so worth turning off-Doesnt come with Receiver extension adapter, For this price it should, as I had cursor lag.-Price is highOverall, I'm very happy, and it brought huge ease of use for most of the games I play, I would recommend it for those who like full control over their games and if the game has a lot of game controls, this mouse will be a great fit!

Edit: Around three months from purchase, this incredibly expensive mouse has developed a loud and irritating squeak on the left mouse button and I'm having to return it under warranty. I said in my original view that the lightness made it feel cheap - turns out it really is cheaply constructed. Absolutely unacceptable in a mouse that costs north of £150. One star, down from five. Well done, Corsair.This is the mouse I've been waiting for Corsair to make. Finally enough buttons (without the overkill of half a keyboard stuck to the side) and left end right actions on the scroll wheel (I use this constantly for flicking between browser tabs). The tilt gestures are a really nice bonus, and I've found myself leaning into them heavily for general use (backwards tilt to show desktop, for example). Some reviews have said that the side buttons aren't intuitive to use and can't be easily selected without visual confirmation, but my experience is that once you're familiar with them, they're very easy to find under the thumb.Negatives: sad to see no wireless charging when it's already present in other Corsair mice. The Icue software is incredibly flexible, but buggy as hell and horrible to use (is there an option to copy one action across all profiles? I can't find it if there is). The mouse is very light, which I think makes it feel cheap (light mice seem to be the fashion though, so this is personal preference). And then there's the price. It's a hell of a lot of money for a mouse, and I'm not sure it's really justified. I guess it comes down to whether it's worth it to you personally.Overall though, it's a superb mouse and a joy to use. It feels like a BIG upgrade to the Ironclaw that I'd been using previously. I'm still giving it five stars.

Thumb buttons are awkward to press as they are so far part and different sizes. I have big hands so it should be easy, but the distance from the rear buttons to the front buttons is far.I only use the top button and 3 buttons at the back, front 2 are unusable for me.I prefer the 12 button Corsair mouse but it's got so many design flaws and scroll wheel breaks all the time I had to swap to this. This might be the last Corsair mouse I buy.Hardware aside, the software that supports Corsair nice (iCue) is absolutely awful, you have to boot it up all the time as the mouse does not remember the settings. Programming this mouse extra buttons is also awkward as they are not considered normal mouse buttons, you have to set them to an existing key. E.g. the rear mouse buttons I have had to make the - and = key in order for them to be usable.Overall, meh product and I hope I don't come back here in a few months if it fails like the other Corsair nice.
