The Diamond in the rough (for the most part)
By MisterCatDadD on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2025
This is the first mouse I have taken a chance on and was actually extremely happy and still am (I have tried Redragon, other similar cheap Chinese knock offs, all the high end companies and everything is the same mundane crap). Please consider this mouse if you like fairly light weight, comfy in the palm, decently accessible side buttons and good battery life. My ONLY 2 complaints would be 1: The connection will occasionally pause or something weird from time to time. like I will turn right or left and the mouse won't follow but after about 1.5 seconds will fast forward catch up. Very very annoying but does not happen often enough. 2: the Two buttons where the back of your thumb/ the fulcrum would click are placed too far back in my humble opinion and I tend to not use them because of this. Takes too much mental effort to slide my thumb back far enough to comfortably feel and click them. I could also have small thumbs. Would seriously consider buying another just to have in storage for when Corsair decides to discontinue this one as well since it isn't what every other gamer is buying. The software works and isn't buggy. It doesn't advertise it well in my opinion, but the mouse has kinetic buttons ie: literally tilting it forward, backward, left and right. I would say this button system has about a 75% reliability and i enjoy using them in games like World of Warcraft. The other thing i had to get used to is the left and right click. They are WILDLY soft comparted to any mouse I have had in the past. I almost thought it was defective at first but the mouse performs amazing and after getting used to not having to put all my force in my finger presses (bad habit), the soft clicks are just plain nice. There are still some of us out here who think the side grid system buttons these gaming companies like Razer, Logitech, and even corsair seem to think are the best way to introduce multi buttons. I may be the 1% here but I find it to be a really stupid idea. Even if I'm the minority, I find that muscle memory tends to form and stay a lot stronger when you have unique, different shapes. if you want one of the best examples I have ever seen, Google and image of the discontinued "Steel Series Rival 500". this thing actually worked around your thumb and added some incredible movement that wasn't 3-4 lines of 4 buttons in rows. I would legit sue Steel Series for everything they are worth for discontinuing that mouse if I knew I'd win. You all who use mice like the Razer Naga and the other exact copies of that side button grid system confuse me but again, I could definitely be the weird one here.

Mouse has so many critical issues they have to trick you on Amazon
By manonfyre on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2024
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE "DARK STAR RBG", IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THAT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED, READ FURTHER. If you search google regarding this mouse you will find ENDLESS numbers posts on reddit, the corsair forums, Toms Hardware, etc complaining about this mouse. And not 1 or 2 problems, it seems like every time I read a new post, the mouse has a completely different but critical error. I bought this mouse when it was a new release and it had very few reviews, so I went to check Amazon again expecting a terrible rating. I'm surprised when I see a 4.1 star score, much higher than I expected. I start to read reviews, then it hits me: most of the reviews are for "Style: Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro". What? The Dark Core is a completely different mouse. The ergonomics are different, it only has 2 side buttons, it costs half the price. Why is the Dark Core listed as a variation of the Dark Star? Is there a way I can filter to only see the Dark Star reviews? Yes there is, but quite tricky to find. First filter reviews by one of the star ratings. Then a filter window with more options will appear. Then you can filter "Format: Show Only Reviews for the Dark Star RBG." Then it made perfect sense. Out of the 2,464 ratings ONLY ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN are reviews for the Dark Star. See attached images. Yep, Corsair took this garbage mouse with more critical failure issues than you could imagine, and listed it as a variant of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT mouse that probably isn't as terrible. That level of deception and general scuminess should be reason enough to never consider buying this mouse, but if you want my personal experience: I owned this mouse for about 2 months, it worked great. I liked the feel, the button placement (most mmo mice buttons are too clustered), then out of nowhere the 2.4ghz receiver stops working. Just bam, no more wireless. At this point I am well beyond Amazon's 30 day return window, so I switch it to Bluetooth mode. Maybe the polling rate is worse, I really couldn't tell the difference, so I continue to use it in Bluetooth mode. Then, want to guess what happened yesterday? Yep, Bluetooth mode stops working just as abruptly as the dongle did. Try to connect via Bluetooth? The mouse LEDs pulse a blue color, which according to the manual means "BT wireless mode – pairing failed". The mouse wasn't dropped or damaged, I didn't even update the firmware/software, just randomly died for no apparent reason. So now, I can try to deal with Corsair customer service, which everything I have read about them says they are, slow, often not willing to send new hardware, and when they do send new hardware it rarely fixes the problem. So I'm going with option B, never buy another Corsair Product as long as I live, I strongly suggest you do the same. I can forgive a company for releasing a product too early, with trash software and faulty components, it happens often unfortunately. But deceiving customers by listing this mouse as a variant of a well-reviewed mouse to hide how poorly it sold and how many problems it has? Absolutely disgusting, absolutely cannot be forgiven.
