Corsair NightSword RGB gaming mouse review - Product showcase

Showcase

 

 

 


Traditionally for Corsair, the package is yellow and black. The packaging features the usual render pictures and technical specifications. On the front, you’ll find mainly info about iCUE support.

 

  

On the back, there’s info about the maximum DPI (18,000), weight (variable between 115 and 137 g by using the two sets of weights and six mounting positions), contoured shape, rubber grips, and ten programmable buttons.

 

 

The sensor here is the Pixart PAW3391 gaming-grade optical sensor (based on a PWM3360 that has been customized for Corsair).

 

 

Thin cardboard is used to reinforce the outer packaging, with form-fitting plastic added to protect the mouse as well as to display it in full view. Under it, you’ll find some safety information, a manual, and a warranty guide. There’s also a weight case with 3 x 4.5g and 3 x 2.8 g weight blocks.

 

 

Here’s the overall/top view (before taking off all the plastic wrapper). Half of the top surface of the NIGHTSWORD RGB is rubberized (like the sides), and yet the logo, which lights up under power, is exposed. Between the main buttons is a stylized rubber-covered scroll wheel, which is also RGB backlit. Any other contact surfaces, such as the LBM/RMB have a matte, hard-wearing finish.

 

 

The right side of the mouse is quite simple. There is a rubber insert on this side as well, ensuring the best chance for a solid grip, even with sweaty hands.

 

 

The left side of the NIGHTSWORD RGB is not typical. At the front, there is a pair of RGB LED zones with a honeycomb pattern, whereas just above them are three more LEDs to indicate the selected profile and DPI. Above the wing with the rubber insert are a trio of buttons: forward, backward, and a sniper button.

 

 

There is also another RGB LED panel towards the rear of the mouse.

 

 

The provided cable is 1.8 m long; a bit stiff, but nicely braided. The USB connector does look sturdy. Overall, the mouse seems to be of very good quality and should be reliable.

In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Pro Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched on 6.10.2020. It’s a new version of the Katar model, which was introduced 5 years ago. The Katar Pro Wireless is rather targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse.
