My Final Corsair Mouse. I'm Done.
This is the final mouse I am buying from Corsair. I love the company, they make great hardware, but their mouse lineup continue to disappoint me. I have a history with Corsair and buying their mice. From the top, I have bought an M90, an M60, an M65, the Corsair Sabre/Corsair Sabre Wireless, and now this one. The Dark Core is my most recent and it is just confirming I will not buy another mouse from Corsair. They do not have durability. Let me explain my experiences. Every mouse I mentioned had an issue. My M90 died from a scroll wheel issue with the firmware. You could not scroll anymore with it. My M60 stopped right clicking. My M65 got stuck in a permanent DPI of 100 (it had a sniper button that eventually got jammed into a "always on" state. You could not change the DPI even through software or using a another mouse to change it. My Sabre and Sabre Wireless would always create a ghost "double click" when left clicking. Meaning, if you left click once on something, it had a chance to trigger it twice. I ran numbers on this chance and it was about 30% of the time. The regular Sabre did this, so I rebought a wireless version and after a week it did the same thing. And now it comes to the Dark Core. I figured, stupidly, that throwing some more cash at a higher end mouse would remedy my situation, as I would love to continue my loyalty for the company. But no. Absolutely not. This mouse is one of the absolute worst mouse I have ever owned. It kind of is an amalgam of some of the issues of my previous mice. It triggers the double click issue like my Corsair Sabres. It has DPI issues, stuck at a low DPI when I log and and it takes several minutes for it to trigger back to normal, which reminds me of my M65. This is a problem centered on how fast the Corsair ICUE software boots up. It has a right clicking issue like my M60. While not completely broken, you have to find the right area of the button to click to make it work. But the most aggravating issue of this mouse? The left clicking. All of these above issues I can work with, but this is the most egregious. The only way to left click on this mouse for me is to click on the very front of the mouse. If you click in the middle or on the top it will not register. I'm not going to get into a deeper rant, but I am just going to say this is the last mouse I am buying from Corsair. I could go into how this mouse's battery life is horrendous, how the Corsair ICUE firmware updates can make or break a device, or how just about how it works with the ICUE software in the first place, as those are also valid complaints of mine, but in hindsight I am always having the worst luck getting a mouse from this company to last at least over a year. This one I bought a few months ago and has delivered a underwhelming and frustrating experience.
