The ambidextrous Katar Elite Wireless is the premium version of Corsair's earlier Katar Pro Wireless. Coming with the custom Marksman 26,000 CPI sensor, Omron main button switches, and a 68 g lightweight construction, the Katar Elite Wireless is capable of both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth operation, promising up to 110 hours of battery life.

Elite runny nose.

As expected, bloated Corsair software. Looks too small and too light for my taste.

Katar is similar to “catarro” in italian, which is the… ahem… sh!t that‘s expelled when you blow your nose and that oftens nearly fills your throat when you have a severe cold.
Ain’t that a good name XD
Also, WHY all of the big companies software is pure crap, either a resource hog (all of ‘em), can’t be fully uninstalled (asus sh!t, icue) or it just decides to not work for some unknown reason (asus sh!t)???
