Corsair is a US-based peripherals and hardware company founded in 1994. After Razer and EVGA, Corsair joins the 8000 Hz polling-rate club with the Sabre RGB Pro. Corsair advertises a particularly capable implementation of 8000 Hz polling on the Sabre RGB Pro owing to their so-called AXON technology, which encompasses a purpose-engineered OS running on an SoC. This applies to click latency as well, which is said to be particularly low. Additionally, spring-loaded main buttons outfitted with Omron switches rated for 50 M clicks are supposed to provide a snappy button response. The 72 g weight is achieved without any visible holes, ensuring great handling along with a soft, flexible, braided cable. Corsair's custom 18,000 CPI PMW3392 sensor provides top-tier tracking and can be fully customized through iCUE, which also includes a wide array of settings for the RGB lighting. In addition to the $59.99 Sabre RGB Pro, the Sabre Pro—a variant without RGB and with a listed weight of 68 g—will retail for $54.99.

Weight
My scale shows around 72 g (+/- 1 g), which is slightly less than what Corsair cites. Considering its size, the Sabre RGB Pro is impressively light, doubly so given its weight has been achieved without any visible holes.
