Corsair Harpoon Wireless RGB Lightweight FPS/MOBA Gaming Mouse – 10,000 DPI – 6 Programmable Buttons – Low-Latency Bluetooth – iCUE Compatible – PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Xbox – Black

I've been gaming on PC for longer than I'd care to admit, and been playing World of Warcraft (casual to hardcore raiding and back) since it launched in 2004. I've tried several wireless gaming mice over the years, and they always ended up disappointing me. Largely because of the tracking issues (i.e., the pointer skipping across the screen or inaccurate pointer movement), but also because of the battery. So I figured I'd have to just live with a wired mouse for gaming. For reference, I have been using the Corsair M65, which is a great wired gaming mouse. I have it connected via Bluetooth to my gaming laptop, and it works flawlessly. You can also connect via a USB dongle, and even wired via USB (this is also how you charge it). I've tried all three and they all work great. As far as its battery, this is the third day, after two raiding nights in WoW and it's at 70%. I don't use it much between gaming, other than for web browsing, email, etc. If I had to guess, I'd say between 8-12 hours of gaming time. The only couple of minor negatives I'll give it, is that a) there's no sniper button. If you play FPS games, this comes in super handy if you want to slow down the aim. You may be able to map that ability to a button that it does have, I haven't researched it, but there's no dedicated button. Which leads me into... b) I haven't figured out how to configure the mouse while connected via Bluetooth. When I go into iCUE, which is Corsair's proprietary app that lets you configure your Corsair devices, it says "No device detected!" I have to be connected via dongle or wire to get the software to recognize it, and the settings don't transfer over when you reconnect Bluetooth that I have seen. Which just means the Corsair logo on the mouse continuously cycles through all the colors and I haven't figured out a way to make it stop. But your hand's going to be over it anyway, so who cares. The mouse is very precise, and you can easily cycle through 5 different sensitivities. Red is a crawl, blue is crazy quick. I don't lose any pixels with this mouse; it's as if I'm using a wired one, although it doesn't have quite the heft as my M65, but that's not a bad thing. If you need a great gaming mouse, and wireless is important to you (i.e., gaming on a laptop, etc.) this is the best one I've ever had. Edit: I've been using this for a while now, and wanted to provide an update on the battery life while using Bluetooth. At full charge, it provides way more than 12 hours of game play, that I originally estimated. I use the mouse every day for at least a couple of hours and it lasted a few weeks. I had almost forgotten that it had to be charged until I got the notice that it was at 2% battery from Windows 10 today. And I honestly can't remember the last time I plugged it in to charge. It has to be at least 2-3 weeks.

for awhile now this Cosair Wireless mouse is just great. it is wireless Yes.! and does it need Batterys No it does not need battery's, it also has a Bluetooth option. or a wireless chip. you put into the usb port on your desktop. or laptop. i have both. lap and desktop and this mouse is just i love out. i had to get a Cosair Mouse to go with my Cosair Full size keyboard. and it pairs good with the software icue. i really love the detail. and texture i am not picky with gaming mice, but you wont be Let down i had it for afew months now. and it feels great. its 10/20/2024 and i will say i am Happy with this mouse! i want to be a product review someday! im happy with this product! the dislikes of the product. the only thing i hate. i hate that its a "USB Micro" if it was a USB C Type it would be Awesome. over all this is a good product. no matter what for the budget it is

So far my only complaint is that the side buttons are kinda small and hard to click due to the angle they've been put at. Otherwise, as of now the 2.4hz has been solid and it's mostly comfortable to hold. Going to need to get used to it though because my last mouse was a decent bit larger. I gotta say Corsair has amazing software. iCue has consistently worked better and faster than 'the green' brand. I'm saying this because it was that bad software that made me switch to Corsair's products. Unless something goes catastrophically bad, I'm a Corsair fanboy now. Little update : I got a new laptop and really hated the trackpad and didn't wanna use a wire mouse for neither my laptop or main PC, then I remembered this has the 2.4hz adapter and a Bluetooth mode. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE BLESSING, now whenever I'm gaming on my PC, I just use the 2.4hz mode and whenever I'm using my laptop I switch it over to Bluetooth. Honestly, such a genius design. Upgraded to a 5 Star.

I have used this mouse a little while now. Seems to have no double clicking issues unlike the newer corsair mouses. The mouse also has a weird power saving issue. When picking up the mouse and moving it back to center too quickly the mouse would not track and has lost me some rounds of fps games. Besides that the mouse works great.

There are many gaming mice out there in the world, but there are very few out there like the Harpoon. Let me explain. You can charge this Mouse through the USB cable. Meaning no more double A batts. It works on 2.5 plus Bluetooth. Which is a plus. And if the mouse is dead, you can use it with the included USB and it’ll work just fine. The sensitivity is great, mouse buttons click nice, iCue software aint the worst, but its fun. You can update firmware via USB and wireless. I suggest doing this via wired conection. Any other issues I have seen reviewers have, I dont have. No anti-aliasing, ghost double-clicks, my receiver hasnt died. For the price of this mouse, given its functionality and connection options, I think its great. Every person has a preference, but this is a solid mouse no matter what your preference is. I like it a lot and bought a second one.

Overall an excellent mouse. No discernible lag on 2.4ghz with the included adapter, sensor is accurate, has a good weight and works well with a claw grip. The switches feel fine but because the buttons are a one piece design, the feel of the clicks is different depending on which area is pressed. Overall feels a little bit more spongy than say my ROG Gladius, but that is a much more expensive wired mouse. Only real gripe is that iCUE has to be running to keep lighting settings active, and I'd prefer to turn off the RGB to conserve battery. However every peripheral company has it's own bloated software package these days and it's more or less par for the course. Still would buy another without hesitiation. Extremely high value and quality mouse.

Update... So I have NEVER had any wireless devices that just fail to connect to a device, ever. I have had two of these, One stopped connecting via bluetooth, a few weeks later the usb dongle, stopped working, and it would not work even via usb cable (mind you it was 2 months old.) . So I tried again, worked great untill i had the same problem 6 months later. This is on a few computers and many different versions of windows. It turns out if you have the problem you can 'reset' the mouse, which is a good thing to do, but between the two of them I own, I have reset them, about 5 or 6 times. Its a great mouse I love it, I love corsairs products, but their wireless is a joke! I have similar problems with a wireless keyboard from them too. Three devices on multiple computers, IMO makes this a corsair problem. This is great, but I do have a few gripes about it. The DPI button is a little funky. It starts off very low and the sensitivity leaps a lot. Without knowing, it seems to go from 3000 to 5000 to 10000. I personally can't use more than 6000. As far as I can tell, you have to charge it using a special cable. It is very nice, good branding, soft, long, and sturdy. Battery life (on Bluetooth) is about 3 to 4 days unless my dog sleeps on it. Also if you use Bluetooth, the battery life is reported in the control panel (Window 10 at least) The RBG turns off after a certain time, but the mouse remains o. it turns on quickly after a button or it is moved. My last mouse was a decent generic gaming mouse, the back and forward buttons on the left side, were too easy to press on accident. On the harpoon, you have to really push them, and they don't stick out too much. These two things make it much less likely to accidentally press them. The USB receiver has a home and is covered by a door, making storing it much safer, important because I don't use it now, but may later. On Bluetooth, its got a polling rate of 200hz not bad for day to day usage. After more than a week's use I don't know if the battery meter in the control panel is off or if my dog is sleeping on it, or if I just move it a lot. But it seems that the first 70% last several days, but the last 30% just drains really quickly. YMMV.

UPDATE Have now had this mouse for a year or so, upgraded my review to 5 stars. The slightly smaller size and sides haven't been the detriment I thought they would be, and the mouse has performed even better than expected. Charge easily lasts 4+ days, and that's with pretty constant daily use. Works perfectly on the MBP, including the software. Sensitivity and responsiveness are top rate... sometimes there's a very slight amount of latency, but that's usually because I'm somehow maxing out the MBP (laptop shortcomings, not the mouse). Best mouse on the market IMHO if you don't need a $500 mouse (elite gaming peripheral) but want solid performance with really fast responsiveness and great battery life. ORIGINAL MBP user, I splurged on a Mamba after many happy years using MS mice (up until they killed their peripheral program ms mice were some of the best around). I'd heard about Mamba's lack of Mac support, but figured 1) they have to release the software for it EVENTUALLY (whoops) and 2) even if I can't do some control stuff, it HAS to be a great basic mouse (whoops 2). I've never been as disappointed with a peripheral as I was with the mamba. No software, scroll wheel is over deliberate, scroll wheel often freaks out when scrolling and jumps you up or down the page some unpredictable amount of rows, and clicking is only intermittently responsive. So, I finally got fed up, decided to just toss the expensive mamba, and buy the corsair. After a few hours of use I can say I am both happy and angry; happy because it works so much better, angry I wasted $65 on the stupid mamba. For those contemplating the switch here's what I can say so far. PROS - Highly responsive, very good control - HAS SOFTWARE - scroll wheel is very smooth... has a clicking as it scrolls, but it's much subtler than the mamba and thus more accurate/precise. - Not too large, good ergonomic feel - Battery? Can't speak to this yet, but the mamba lasts no more than 2 days on a charge, and this apparently lasts a week, so... CONS - Its narrower than the mamba... I have med/lg hands (6' man). Unlike the mamba, the mouse is a little narrower, and it "pinches" in a little on the sides. This is good for grip, but it makes the mouse a little less full. Whether this will cause problems over time I don't know... really depends on how you hold the mouse and whether you like a "full hand". - Because the sides are grooved plastic the side grip feels less secure than other smoother mice... it's weird and hard to describe. My fingers have less contact with the mouse sides, which means I have to grip a tiny bit tighter, which I suspect will cause aching over time, but we'll see. The positive is that it'll reduce heat between your fingers and the mouse and should reduce hand sweating. About $20 less than I paid for the mamba and seems 10x better already. Really good price on a pretty high tech mouse, if it lives up to the hype it'll be well worth it.
