CORSAIR HARPOON RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-01-07

CORSAIR has listened to the community and upgraded the original HARPOON RGB with wireless capabilities and a better sensor, the Pixart PMW3325. While the number of programmable buttons is the same, the DPI values can be now set up to 10000, in 100DPI increments, the Omron switch durability is now set at 50 million clicks and even if the mouse does now include a built-in lithium-polymer rechargeable battery, it only weights 99 grams without cables. As the original model, the HARPOON RGB Wireless feels best when used with a claw grip, while the rubberized side grips make sure you won’t lose precision, even during longer gaming sessions.

After lifting the cover from the storage area, we will uncover the 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM wireless dongle:

 

 

 

With the SLIPSTREAM Wireless’ Intelligent Frequency Shift, we are ensured that the fastest wireless channel is always chosen, by hopping to the optimal one on-the-fly, without any visible interruptions:

 

 

 

 

After powering on the mouse, we will be able to spot the Status LED but also the RGB area operating:
