What customers say about "Key Specs"
Corsair Dark Core RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse
- Amazing sensor with smooth tracking and performance.
- Buttons are very responsive. Colors are vibrant on the lighting.
- Perfect button layout and the best scroll wheel ever.
- The middle mouse button (the part where you can press the scroll wheel) is somewhat hard to press and up to now.
- On the side besides the sniper button the other two buttons are horrible placed and uncomfortable.
Corsair Dark Core SE RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse
- And the fact that it uses an optical sensor for movement means it can be used on practically any surface.
- The mouse feels responsive and the sensor has extensive DPI settings.
- Accuracy. The resolution of the optical sensor is extremely good and when used on a proper mouse pad.
- Battery life and sensor issues out of the wazoo kept flickering especially in counter-strike go every 5 seconds.
- Mouse movement was very glitchy unless i had sensor right next to the mouse on a USB cord.

What customers say about "Connection"
Corsair Dark Core RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse
- The main reason why I got this mouse, the Bluetooth connection.
- I like how they included a cable and that I could use any micro-usb cable for it.
- Wired/wireless usage, Must have the wire to charge and the mouse can be used when battery is empty while charging.
- The Bluetooth connection does not carry your profiles. This means no macros, no DPI changes, no RGB customizations.
- Sometimes while it is connected to wire it will lose connection/or function while in use.

- On my Windows laptops, I use the dongle, but on the MacBook Pro, I use Bluetooth.
- This mouse can connect one of 3 ways: wireless rf, Bluetooth, or wired.
- This is a awesome mouse with its interchangeable side and blue tooth connectivity
- Connection is smooth and stable, I’m using it in my games flawlessly useing 2.4 GHZ for zero lagging.
