Surface

Great is merely an understatement when it comes to describing the materials and surface coating of the Harpoon. The top shell features a slightly coarse matte surface treatment that feels very grippy and comfortable. The scroll wheel is fully rubberized and features some line texturing, which helps reduce chances of slipping with even very sweaty hands. The CPI and side buttons feature the same glossy finish that tends to pick up fingerprints quite quickly—thankfully, this is something the other parts of the mouse don't seem to do.


The side panels are rubberized and textured with small triangles, a combination really helps with maintaining a stable grip and providing maximum comfort in my opinion. This and the grooved sides make the mouse really easy to pick up quickly without applying too much pressure to its sides.

Build Quality

Build quality is great on the Harpoon RGB Wireless. However, there is some minor rattling when you shake the mouse vigorously. Other than that, it's perfect; no squeaks, creaks, or misalignment I could detect. It's great to see Corsair have such strict and thorough quality control with their products.

Weight

Moving on to the weight, it's one thing I really dislike about the Harpoon RGB Wireless. It's a relatively small mouse, but at about 101 grams, it can be considered quite heavy. This is the real downside of the wireless technology: batteries tend to add a lot of extra weight. A lot of people won't be bothered by this, but a lighter mouse is generally better for your wrists in the long run. I hope the next iteration of this mouse will cut the weight down to below 90 grams or so. As for weight distribution, it's pretty even, albeit a tad back heavy.
