Corsair Darkstar Wireless Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a USB Type-C to Type-A charging cable, wireless dongle, as well as warranty and safety guides in the box.

Weight


My scale shows around 98 g (+/- 1 g), which is slightly more than the weight cited by Corsair. The ROCCAT Kone XP Air, which has a similar number of buttons and likewise extensive RGB lighting, weighs the same at 98 g, and the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro weighs 113 g, while having fewer buttons but adjustable wheel operation. A good weight overall.

Cable


The Darkstar Wireless comes with a braided USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable. In terms of flexibility, this one can only be described as supremely stiff, preventing playing while charging almost entirely. The cable is 1.80 m long.

As the Darkstar Wireless lacks a wireless extender, the wireless dongle needs to be plugged directly into a USB port. When doing so, as per Intel's documentation, it is strongly recommended not to use a USB 3.x port, as ports of this type may introduce interference adversely affecting wireless operation. A storage compartment for the dongle is found on the underside of the mouse, albeit without a compartment door.

Feet


The feet on the Darkstar Wireless are non-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. Glide is excellent and thickness average.
