CORSAIR HARPOON RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-01-07

CORSAIR has listened to the community and upgraded the original HARPOON RGB with wireless capabilities and a better sensor, the Pixart PMW3325. While the number of programmable buttons is the same, the DPI values can be now set up to 10000, in 100DPI increments, the Omron switch durability is now set at 50 million clicks and even if the mouse does now include a built-in lithium-polymer rechargeable battery, it only weights 99 grams without cables. As the original model, the HARPOON RGB Wireless feels best when used with a claw grip, while the rubberized side grips make sure you won’t lose precision, even during longer gaming sessions.

CORSAIR has listened to the community and upgraded the original HARPOON RGB with wireless capabilities and a better sensor, the Pixart PMW3325. While the number of programmable buttons is the same, the DPI values can be now set up to 10000, in 100DPI increments, the Omron switch durability is now set at 50 million clicks and even if the mouse does now include a built-in lithium-polymer rechargeable battery, it only weights 99 grams without cables. As the original model, the HARPOON RGB Wireless feels best when used with a claw grip, while the rubberized side grips make sure you won’t lose precision, even during longer gaming sessions.

 

For the 2.4GHz WiFi operating mode, CORSAIR is using their Slipstream technology in order to jump to the best channel on-the-fly, in order for the user not to experience lags or weird cursor behavior. If you have just forgotten to charge it while on-the-go, you can always use it with the USB cable connected, until you top it up again. If you do not need the RGB eye candy, you can always turn this feature off; the up side is that you will gain up to 15 more hours of usage on a single charge.

 

The product holds a MSRP of just about 59.99 Euros (excluding taxes) and uses the powerful iCUE unified software for in-depth button re-mapping and RGB setup. The MM350 Extended XL MSRP is 39.99 Euros.
