Corsair Katar Elite Wireless Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C), wireless dongle, safety information guide, and warranty guide inside the box.

Weight


My scale shows around 68 g (+/- 1 g), which is slightly less than the weight cited by Corsair. Considering the wired Katar Pro XT weighed 75 g, the weight of the Katar Elite Wireless indeed is respectable. At the same time, the comparable Fantech Aria XD7 with the solid back cover is even lighter at 61 g.

Cable


The Katar Elite Wireless comes with a regular rubber charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C). There is no anchor at the mouse-end of the cable, so it may come loose during use, even though the connector sits tight. In terms of flexibility, the cable is improved over that of the Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Wireless, but still not particularly flexible. As such, I consider this cable slightly too stiff for comfortable wired use. Its measured length is 1.75 m.

As the Katar Elite 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 wireless dongle is located on the bottom of the mouse.

Feet


The feet on the Katar Elite Wireless are non-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet. Thickness is above average and glide is very good. The ring around the sensor ensures CPI stay consistent upon applying vertical pressure.
