Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro​ Wireless mouse review - Introduction

Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro Wireless mouse

In this article, we review the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched on the 7th of April. It’s a new version of the Dark Core RGB SE, which we reviewed 2 years ago. The Dark Core RGB Pro is obviously targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is the 18K DPI PMW3392, instead of the 16K DPI PMW3367. It has been optimized for lower power consumption, and it’s possible to change the DPI in steps of 1. Other new stuff includes Hyper-Polling Technology, which communicates with the PC at up to 2000 Hz (twice as fast as the standard).

You also get up to 50 hours of battery life this time, instead of 24. That’s an absolutely huge improvement. The mouse uses a USB type C connector, so you don’t have to think about which way to plug it in. One of the things that stayed the same is, for example, the swappable textured pad on the right side of the mouse, for your pinkie and ring fingers. You get eight programmable buttons, but that shouldn’t be an issue (for being a too low number). The Dark Core RGB Pro has nine zones for RGB colour customization and provides 16.8 million colour selection options for the backlighting. You can adjust this via Corsair iCUE Software (nothing new, right?), where you can also synchronize the effects with other Corsair gear. However, speaking of the software, the Dark Core RGB Pro does come with its own memory, allowing you to store the settings. As for the connectivity, it’s possible to use the options listed below:

  • Sub-1ms SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS technology,
  • low-latency Bluetooth wireless technology,
  • or USB wired.

There is also a SE version available (Qi Charging), for which you need a special mouse pad that lets you forget what the cable is (for charging the battery). The Corsair DARK CORE RGB PRO is available at $79.99/€99.99 and the SE Qi version is priced at $89.99/109.99€. The warranty is 2 years, so that’s pretty standard. Is this product worth its price, given the provided features and functionality? Let’s find out.

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core Headset review
Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.
