Corsair Katar Elite Wireless Review

Rating: 8.0.

Corsair's latest gaming mouse, the Katar Elite Wireless, improves on the Katar Pro by adding an improved sensor, higher polling rate, and internal battery, all while keeping the total weight at just 69 grams. Is this new lightweight offering from Corsair any good?

We don't yet have a buy link for the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless but the MSRP is set at £69.99.

Pros:

  • Very good stock PTFE feet.
  • Lightweight.
  • Decent pricing.

Cons:

  • Only average build quality.
  • Fingerprint magnet finish.

KitGuru says: The Corsair Katar Elite Wireless is a decent entry in to the lightweight, wireless gaming mouse space. It's competitively priced and feels very smooth with the stock PTFE feet. The build quality could be a little better but it's definitely not the worst we've ever seen.
