Corsair’s latest gaming mouse, the Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Wireless, weighs a mere 36 grams, which is roughly the same as seven US nickels. This remarkably low weight makes it one of the lightest wireless gaming mice currently available, designed to offer exceptional speed and responsiveness for competitive gameplay. While some may question whether such minimal heft is practical, the mouse’s construction aims to deliver both agility and performance without sacrificing essential features.
Despite its featherlight design, Corsair hasn’t skimped on functionality. The mouse houses a compact 210mAh battery that promises up to 70 hours of use on a single charge when operating at a standard 1,000Hz polling rate via a 2.4GHz wireless connection. For those seeking ultra-low latency, an 8,000Hz polling mode is available, reducing input registration to just 0.125 milliseconds. However, this high-performance setting drastically cuts battery life to approximately 16 hours. While manufacturers often emphasize extreme polling rates, the reality is that most gamers won’t perceive a difference at such speeds, making the standard mode a more practical choice for extended play sessions.
The Sabre V2 Pro features a symmetrical shape but is ergonomically tailored for right-handed users, complete with two conveniently placed thumb buttons on the left side. Corsair includes adhesive grip tape, allowing users to customize the texture and feel of the main buttons and sides for improved control and comfort.
One standout feature is the mouse’s software-free configuration capability. Corsair has introduced a browser-based settings tool, enabling players to adjust DPI, program macros, and fine-tune other parameters without installing any dedicated software. This approach is increasingly popular among professional-grade peripherals, as it allows for quick, on-the-fly adjustments from any internet-connected device, a significant advantage in tournament environments where every second counts.
The Sabre V2 Pro is now available for purchase in both classic black and sleek white color options.
