CORSAIR GLAIVE RGB PRO Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-05-01

With the addition of the new PMW3391 optical sensor, the GLAIVE RGB PRO is even more precise than before and should suffice for any competitive gamer. In the games we have tried such as Titanfall, AION, CS: GO and StarCraft 2, the mouse has performed admirably and thanks to its comfortable holding shape we haven’t had any issues using it for longer sessions. In terms of productivity and multi-monitor setups, this mouse is quite recommended, thanks to its high-DPI sensor and if the pre-installed thumb grip does not fit your style, you can also use one of the other two, which are provided in the package.

On the side, CORSAIR mentions that this particular mouse should fit best “control freak gamers”:

 

 

 

The bottom area of the box does have the regular sticker with the product code name and serial number, but also the box contents listed with drawings:

 

 

 

After unsealing the box, we will find a bit of documentation, the main product but also two more interchangeable thumb grips:

 

 

 

Regarding the docs, we will receive a warranty guide leaflet, a “waste electrical and electronic equipment” leaflet, but also the usual Quick Guide:

 

 

 

The manual is multi-language and is used to explain the main product components:

 

 

 

While the GLAIVE RGB PRO has a similar physical signature as the first version, its shape has been optimized more for better comfort, while the weight has been reduced to just about 115g:

 

 

 

The frontal aluminum scroll wheel does come with a rubber grip in order to ensure accuracy and is joined by two programmable buttons, that are initially mapped for DPI switching:

 

 

 

The DPI step indicator is built into the top area of the chassis and is composed of five different LEDs; nearby, we will get to see an additional addressable LED lighting segment:
