Corsair Nightsabre Wireless Mouse Review

Rating: 8.5.

The Nightsabre Wireless mouse is the latest addition to Corsair's peripheral range. It features a Corsair Marksman sensor and the company's own Quickstrike buttons. It supports up to 2KHz polling rate and has an advertised battery life of 100 hours. How will this mouse perform when I go to war in BattleBit Remastered?

Pros:

• Good build quality.
• Attractive design.
• Great shape for palm grip.
• 2KHz Polling rate.

Cons:

• Slight flex to the body.
• Advertised battery life shortened by using 100% brightness and 2KHz poling rate.
• Cannot see the front RGB zones when in use.

KitGuru says: The Nightsabre is a very solid mouse. It fast and responsive thanks to its 2KHz polling rate and the battery, while not lasting as long as stated, is still decent. The RGB may be a little over the top for some and it will definitely drain the battery faster when it is on 100% brightness. Overall a great mouse that will serve FPS gamers well.
