The dearth of Bluetooth connectivity is, presumably, for weight financial savings, nevertheless it makes this mouse inconvenient as a journey choice. The dearth of rigidity already makes touring with it appear unwise. It is meant to be saved on a desk.
The mouse has a complete of 5 buttons: The left and proper clicks, the center click on, and the 2 aspect buttons, that are mapped to “ahead” and “again” by default. There are 5 built-in sensitivity presets, starting from 400 to 2,000 dpi. These presets will be adjusted, and the variety of presets will be decreased. With the default button maps, you possibly can cycle by the presets by holding down the correct click on and again button for 3 seconds. The scroll wheel will flash 3 times to point that the setting has modified. It is a bit convoluted. Extra importantly, the dpi change solely works if the rear aspect button is mapped to the “again” key. Once I remapped this button to the rest, the mixture didn’t work.

Corsair just lately unveiled its in-browser Net Hub utility, changing its iCue software program for peripheral administration. It is a huge enchancment, being simpler to navigate and fewer issue-prone than its predecessor. With the utility, you possibly can simply modify settings like polling fee, dpi, and button mapping. Nonetheless, a mouse this easy actually doesn’t have a lot to regulate. I rapidly remapped the aspect buttons, cranked the polling fee to eight,000 Hz, and by no means wanted to make use of the software program once more (outdoors of testing). The one catch is that in-browser administration means you want an web connection, although perhaps you might have larger points if that is the case.
The Sabre v2 Professional additionally consists of rubberized “grip tape” stickers, utilized to the first buttons and both aspect of the mouse. These can enhance grip and solely improve weight by half a gram, however they do not make an enormous distinction in performance until you might have notably sweaty fingers. Greater than the rest, it makes the mouse really feel softer and offers some added consolation. Nonetheless, I discovered that the tape was limited-use. After eradicating and reapplying it a few occasions, the perimeters began to peek again when holding the mouse.
By Any Means Crucial

This mouse has an ethos of lightness at any value. It weighs virtually nothing, to the purpose that it feels surreal while you’re holding it. You possibly can simply flex the plastic by squeezing both aspect of the mouse, and urgent from the highest and backside too onerous will trigger one of many aspect buttons to actuate. Urgent onerous on the mouse from any aspect causes a small creaking noise to emit from the shell.
