The shortage of Bluetooth connectivity is, presumably, for weight financial savings, nevertheless it makes this mouse inconvenient as a journey possibility. The shortage of rigidity already makes touring with it appear unwise. It is meant to be stored on a desk.
The mouse has a complete of 5 buttons: The left and proper clicks, the center click on, and the 2 facet buttons, that are mapped to “ahead” and “again” by default. There are 5 built-in sensitivity presets, starting from 400 to 2,000 dpi. These presets may be adjusted, and the variety of presets may be decreased. With the default button maps, you may cycle by way of the presets by holding down the fitting click on and again button for 3 seconds. The scroll wheel will flash 3 times to point that the setting has modified. It is a little bit convoluted. Extra importantly, the dpi swap solely works if the rear facet button is mapped to the “again” key. After I remapped this button to anything, the mixture didn’t work.

Corsair lately unveiled its in-browser Net Hub utility, changing its iCue software program for peripheral administration. It is a huge enchancment, being simpler to navigate and fewer issue-prone than its predecessor. With the utility, you may simply alter settings like polling price, dpi, and button mapping. Nevertheless, a mouse this straightforward actually doesn’t have a lot to regulate. I rapidly remapped the facet buttons, cranked the polling price to eight,000 Hz, and by no means wanted to make use of the software program once more (outdoors of testing). The one catch is that in-browser administration means you want an web connection, although possibly you will have larger points if that is the case.
The Sabre v2 Professional additionally contains rubberized “grip tape” stickers, utilized to the first buttons and both facet of the mouse. These can enhance grip and solely enhance weight by half a gram, however they do not make a large distinction in performance until you will have notably sweaty palms. Greater than anything, it makes the mouse really feel softer and offers some added consolation. Nevertheless, I discovered that the tape was limited-use. After eradicating and reapplying it a few occasions, the perimeters began to peek again when holding the mouse.
By Any Means Essential

This mouse has an ethos of lightness at any value. It weighs virtually nothing, to the purpose that it feels surreal if you’re holding it. You may simply flex the plastic by squeezing both facet of the mouse, and urgent from the highest and backside too laborious will trigger one of many facet buttons to actuate. Urgent laborious on the mouse from any facet causes a small creaking noise to emit from the shell.
