The mouse is based on a 16,000 DPI sensor and comes with six (macro) programmable positions. As mentioned the Glaive is primarily single-textured with a soft plastic/rubber feel to the top of it. Not at all uncomfortable, and it won't get slippery when wet or sweaty in your warm hand during an intense gaming session. The mouse itself has an ergonomic design and feels very nice in my hands, but I do have large hands so for some it might seem a bit bulky. BTW, if you are a left handed person, then this is definitely not the mouse for you.

On top, the rubber scroll wheel which can be clicked as well (programmable). The one button below the scroll-wheel is the select-able DPI switch with several programmable gradations. You can have a DPI selection of you liking, configurable through the software suite. All switches by the way are Omron switches, very sensitive and very durable, rated at 50 million clicks. Heck no, I'm not testing the number though!

We see some nice glide skirts at the bottom. Four what seem to be PTFE feet provide good movement of the mouse. The 16K DPI sensor (Pixart 3367) is marked in the dead centre of both the horizontal and vertical, which brings a very small learning curve for those who take advantage of high sensitivity and subtle mouse movements rather than your normal linear sweeps. Corsair actually partnered with Pixart to make the 16K version sensor.

The USB cable is roughly 2 meters, not rubberized but cloth braided. Wireless mouse gaming is a dirty word anno 2017 hence you'll have to deal with the chord.
