CORSAIR Launches New DARK CORE RGB PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse
CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today announced the launch of the new DARK CORE RGB PRO and DARK CORE RGB PRO SE, its new premier wireless mice. Utilizing CORSAIR SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, hyper-polling technology, and an 18,000 DPI optical sensor, these new mice offer bleeding-edge wireless mouse performance with both wired and wireless charging options.
The CORSAIR DARK CORE RGB PRO makes several key updates to the award-winning DARK CORE RGB, while retaining the same shape and comfort that has made it a fast-growing choice among gamers of all kinds. The DARK CORE RGB PRO now features the ability to connect in three different ways: sub-1 ms SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, low-latency Bluetooth, or USB wired. The optical sensor has also been upgraded to a custom PixArt PAW3392 optimized for wireless, with extremely low power consumption and a native 18,000 DPI resolution customizable in 1 DPI steps. New hyper-polling technology from CORSAIR, debuting in the DARK CORE RGB PRO, ensures blazingly fast response times by communicating with a PC at up to 2,000 Hz - twice the speed of standard gaming mice and able to deliver the full performance benefits of SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, for better-than-wired latency.
The DARK CORE RGB PRO boasts nine zones of RGB lighting, the most ever for a CORSAIR mouse, including an eye-catching integrated light bar with four individually addressable LEDs. CORSAIR iCUE software harnesses both the performance and the customization of DARK CORE RGB PRO, with full RGB lighting customization and synchronization with other iCUE devices, as well as button remaps and advanced macro programming for the mouse's eight buttons.
The DARK CORE RGB PRO retains the comfortable contoured shape of its predecessor, including two interchangeable side grips, and charges via a reversible USB-C cable. The DARK CORE RGB PRO SE adds another level of charging technology with the inclusion of Qi wireless charging, for effortless use with Qi-compatible devices such as the CORSAIR MM1000 mouse pad. With up to 50 hours of battery life between recharges, durable Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks, and onboard storage to save up to three lighting and macro profiles, the DARK CORE RGB is the most advanced wireless gaming mouse that CORSAIR has ever produced.
Availability, Warranty and Pricing
The CORSAIR DARK CORE RGB PRO and DARK CORE RGB PRO SE are available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.
The DARK CORE RGB PRO and DARK CORE RGB PRO SE are backed by a two-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

7 Comments on CORSAIR Launches New DARK CORE RGB PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse
On the other hand, I could get a mousepad with QI capabilities but until they roll out a mousepad similar to the MM300 or the new MM500, I cant see myself getting a wireless mouse from corsair as the battery life just isnt there.
Edit: Just for a comparison, here is the Battery life details on Logitechs g604 mouse.
Corsairs new mouse here, 50hrs.
Up your game Corsair.
it has great clicks -also amazing side buttons and sensor, "slipstream" is also great -like mentioned in review- never felt any lag or anything so i guess that is as advertised
thumb and pinky rests are very comfortable and they also reduce feeling of weight of mouse ,mouse has great build quality except that right click went squeaky on both of them -after long seance of broodwar and intensive rightclicking - noise of right button plastic scrapping became louder and louder - one was returned and new one doesn't have problem ( yet) and on other one is less noisy and its coming and going. its really weird problem and i haven't had mouse with something like this happening except mastermouse's s wheel noise . i saw on other forums it was common problem with some other corsair series of mouse and sometimes it goes away after some time... or people sprayed lubricants and problem was gone . but anyway for the price we got i am more then satisfied :)
