CORSAIR NIGHTSWORD RGB Gaming Mouse For FPS, MOBA - 18,000 DPI - 10 Programmable Buttons - Weight System - iCUE Compatible - Black

Mouse works really well, I'm pretty happy with it. It's what I would expect for the price point. Only criticism, and this may be a positive for some, is that the additional DPI buttons on the edge of the left mouse button are very easy to hit by accident mid-game. It's irritating to click and suddenly A) the left mouse button wasn't actually pressed, I was hitting the DPI button and B) my mouse sensitivity is suddenly way different.I've been using it daily for months without issue though so the build holds up well, feels nice, comfortable. I do like that there are different DPIs depending on whether you hit the middle buttons or the ones on the edge, and the sniper button on the side is nice. RGB is noticeable without being blinding, which is how I like it. cord is braided and is holding up pretty well, although if there's a kink in it it will stay for a long time. Near the plug end there are still bends from when I took it out of the packaging.Overall, good mouse at the price I would expect.

READ SECOND EDIT BELOWThe buttons are easier and harder than what I'm used to but for playing battlefield, it has somehow made a huge difference in a positive way. The sniping button is pretty cool. iCue profiles are a little weird and take a bit to learn how to use but I do see how they could be beneficial. The per application feature is nice. Good mouse. Buttons are hyper sensitive so moving my mouse, sometimes I accidentally right click. I have very large hands but I'm used to "claw gripping" or whatever it's called. Not a bad mouse. I can see this lasting a couple years. The rubberized feel of the mouse is very nice. I am a fan of that. Good for daily use too. LEDs are nice for at night, they are not overbearing and not too bright. Brightness can be adjusted in iCue too.EDIT: I would never recommend this mouse to anyone. The hardware is fantastic, the feel, the buttons, everything is great. But the iCue software is absolute garbage. I use it to set aggressive fan curves on my fans and cooler with a commander module. So I need to use the iCue software. However, every once in a while (every hour or so) the iCue software does something to the mouse and it gets super sensitive (insanely high DPI). I then have to kill iCue and reopen it. It doesn't take long to do that but it's extremely aggravating as it interrupts whatever I am doing. Would not recommend this mouse, will be trying Logitech G502 and saving this corsair mouse (which is very comfortable) as a backup emergency mouse.SECOND EDIT: Still a little salty about the icue profiles. I didn't realize it but there is a way to upload the dpi profile to the mouse and remove the stock ones, not gonna lie, the mouse is phenomenal now! If you are having trouble look up how to upload the profile to the mouse and remove the old profiles on it, it stops the mouse from defaulting to a extremely high dpi mid session. Wish they made this a little more visible in the icue software but I guess not everything can be super intuitive. I would recommend this mouse now. Remember tho, default mouse profiles have to be wiped from the mouse, not just from icue itself.

On everything, the best mouse for fps I've ever used. It fits perfectly in your hand for whatever kind of posture that you have your hand in, the little thumb holder makes it so much easier for maneuverability and general control. Everything about this mouse is perfect.

I have had this mouse for about 2-3 weeks. So I can give a pretty good review on it. For gaming it works! fits my wide hand perfectly! It has a good response and switches(aside from the profile/dpi) work like a charm. that is where the star falls. When you browse on the web or do typing or blogs you are going to be scrolling an aweful lot! When you do your scroll wheel so too close to the profile "switch" button. often times I find my mouse switching to a lower DPI profile and at basline speed (lowest setting DPI) when you switch profile it goes to the lowest DPI setting after switch! this is not good when browsing as you often fatfinger the scrollwheel/profile switch button and wonder why your mouse suddenly crawls to a snail's pace. dangerous in some cases if you want to avoid pop up banner click bait. at the very least annoying. and NO it is not a malware! you not someone else has switched your profile(more than likely) by fat fingering the scrollwheel/profile switch. the button and the wheel are too close together! Also Corsair could make it where your new profile switch stays on the same DPI level as your old. for instance if you are on level two it needs to stay on level two when you switch from Proflie A to Profile B and C and so on. Would partially fix the problem. another thing: the switch and wheel should have a larger gap for people with larger fingers. not all of us are piano players you know... Some people complain about the scrollwheel being cheap plastic(at least on the other Scimitar) this one is also. I cannot judge as I have not had it long enough to know when/if it could(or not) break. It feels okay, just okay, not too flimsy not sturdy though either. same with the Scimitar which I also have. This Nightsword WASP FPS mouse feels less cheap and more sturdy than the Scimitar. why? Probably because the weights in it give it that illusion but it also feels less mushy in clicking L/R the hand grip rubber is better quality and it has flanks on the side for stablity. I find it works for both FPS and RPG games and I don't play too many stratigy games anyway. If you use it I recommend programming iCUE on another PC to hardware settings(LTD as they are) and then safely utilizing the mouse on a computer without iCue loaded(unless you have a lightening fast machine or play offline as I often do) If you program settings you can reprogram it later as many times as you want as you change or play different games. Also browsing and Icue is dangerous these days! Icue reputedly opens up backdoors to your firewall. I'd just use it for programming hardware and leave it off or use another computer to play games on without iCue loaded.
