The Sabre Optical RGB is a comfortable, full-featured gaming mouse with unparalleled lighting flexibility. It's let down only by its software, which can be confusing at times.

Tons of color options; Near-limitless lighting and button customization; Comfortable shape and size

Body design could be too wide for some hands; Advanced features in software are overwhelming (as is the manual

Front of the packaging looks rather simple with Corsair Gaming logo and highlights of a few features available of the mouse. On the left side of the box, it mentions that you need an internet connection (duh) to download the latest Corsair Utility Engine Software.

The Corsair Sabre Optical RGB is one of the best mice in its class. There may be no shortage of great gaming mice in this price range, but if you're wanting a reliable mouse for work and play, with funky customisable lighting and great build quality, then you'll find a lot to love about the Sabre.

Great build quality; Rubber grip coating; 4 zone RGB lighting; 8 fully programmable buttons; Excellent sensor performance; Competitive price

Right hand only

We have tried multiple titles (Heroes of the Storm, Dying Light, Dirty Bomb, CounterStrike Global Offensive) with the Sabre Optical RGB and we were pretty impressed with the overall comfort, which was matched by precision thanks to the latest Avago ADNS S3988 6400DPI sensor.

For ￡50, the Sabre Optical is a very good mouse. We have no real complaints about the performance of the optical sensor, and the build and materials are reassuringly high quality.

Affordable; Ergonomic comfort; Solid performing sensor; Tactile and well-placed buttons

Messy software; No weight adjustment

Summary: An interesting alternative to the M65, the Sabre Optical RGB offers a very similar experience but with (in our opinion) more comfortable shape. Yet another high quality peripheral from Corsair Gaming.

I only need left and right click so the DPI adjuster, side macros, and all other buttons like that I don't need. If you need a great $50 RGB Optical mouse with a good sensor this is it but the M65 RGB Pro is only $10 more which is more premium and a tunable weight adjustment system
