Corsair GLAIVE RGB Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-05-09

Glaive RGB from Corsair Gaming does employ a complete redesign from the previous models and for additional customization, we get to choose from three different thumb grips in order to fit our gaming style. The mouse does weight 122 grams and is available in two different variants (with aluminum or black finish), three configurable RGB zones but also a custom PMW3367 sensor which was made in cooperation with Pixart. With professional gamers in mind, the Glaive RGB can set the sensor resolution between 100 and 16000 DPI, in increments of just 1 DPI, while the report rate is selectable from 125 Hz up to 1000.

A Closer Look Part III

A look at the frontal area of the mouse does show the inner aluminum layer, along with some other RGB LED enabled segments:

On the bottom area of the Glaive we will get to see large PTFE feet, but also the central PMW3667 sensor lens; this particular sensor DPI can climb up to 16000 (native value) while the minimum is 100 (great for sniping). If we are not happy with the preset DPI settings of 800, 1500, 3000, 6000 and 9000 settings, we can always configure these via CUE software, in increments as small as 1 DPI:

Here is how the Glaive does look with the pre-installed thumb grip removed:

The other two models give the mouse a different look:

As we have seen with most high-end gaming peripherals, the 1.8m USB cable is braided:

It ends up with a customized USB connector:

After plugging the mouse to a spare USB port, we will get to see the mouse lighting up with the signature Corsair Gaming logo color:

Here are the separate segments that do light up:
