In terms of general feel, the Sabre RGB Pro Wireless is pretty standard, which I find good for both comfort and familiarity. Razer’s pricier DeathAdder V2 Pro Wireless has a claimed 70 hours of battery life using its HyperSpeed RF dongle (and up to 120 hours on Bluetooth), but that mouse has a polling rate that tops out at 1,000 Hz, half that of the Corsair rodent. In my mixed use (both wireless modes and when plugged in) over about 10 days of regular gaming and productivity, the battery didn’t hit the 0% mark, but the small indicator on the top sensitivity button did begin to flash red as I was writing this, indicating the battery was low. Those estimates are with the RGB lighting off, so expect less if you can’t live without a little glow, (which will be covered by your hand when you’re using it anyway). Other than that, the only other difference visually is the wireless model has “//SABREWL” written in an understated font (or at least understated for a gaming mouse) on the edge of the left mouse button, rather than the “//SABRE” of the wired model.Ĭorsair says to expect 60 hours of use via the Slipstream connection or 90 via Bluetooth. Since you can select the color for each preset in the company’s iCue software, this is technically a second RGB “zone,” but the light is so tiny I didn’t even notice it until I was more than halfway through testing the mouse. Instead, the top button has a tiny RGB light that briefly lights up and changes color to indicate DPI settings. And while the button behind that wheel still lets you jump between four adjustable sensor sensitivity settings, there is no light-up indicator on the side like on the wired model. There are, though, a few key design differences between the two models.įor starters, the Sabre RGB Pro Wireless features a single RGB lighting zone-the Corsair logo at the back-while the wired model also features a glowing scroll wheel. It’s also quite similar to what you’ll find on the wired Sabre RGB Pro, (which costs a lot less at about $60). The overall design of the Sabre RGB Pro Wireless is somewhat generic but in a slick, unassuming way that I mostly like. But considering the $100-plus price, I would like to see some rubber or at least textured plastic sides for better grip during tense, sweaty battles. I like the understated design and, just like the wired model, the Sabre RGB Pro Wireless feels great in my hand. Whether or not it’s the best gaming mouse or the best wireless mouse remains to be seen. At 79g, it’s a bit lighter than the competing Razer DeathAdder v2 Pro Wireless while costing less - though it’s still expensive at an MSRP of $109.99. And its 26,000 DPI optical sensor is impressive for a wireless rodent - even if it’s also likely overkill for most gamers. You won’t find a polling rate quite so high on the wireless model, but at up to 2,000 Hz, it’s still technically twice as responsive as most mice. Now, the company has cut the cord with the Corsair Sabre RGB Pro Wireless. Earlier this year, we took a close look at the tethered version of the Corsair Sabre RGB Pro, which stood out mostly for its kind-of-crazy ( though not unprecedented) 8,000 Hz polling rate, far faster than the typical 1,000 Hz.
