INTRODUCTION

   Wired versus wireless, not only has this been one of the most heated debates between both consumers and professionals but it's also one of the things you need to decide prior to looking for any input device like a keyboard and/or a mouse. For example, i prefer using wireless mice with my laptops and wired with my desktop systems primarily because i don't need the same level of performance while using the former (also battery life isn't really an issue for me since i only use my laptops a few hours per month tops). Another thing is of course price and so wireless models always tend to cost more than their wired counterparts something which is usually the decisive factor, especially for people on a tight budget. This is where the latest Katar Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse by CORSAIR comes in and this is also what I’ll be looking at today.

   CORSAIR (NASDAQ:CRSR) is a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-performance gear and technology for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts. From award-winning PC components and peripherals, to premium streaming equipment and smart ambient lighting, CORSAIR delivers a full ecosystem of products that work together to enable everyone, from casual gamers to committed professionals, to perform at their very best. CORSAIR also includes subsidiary brands Elgato, which provides premium studio equipment and accessories for content creators, SCUF Gaming, which builds custom-designed controllers for competitive gamers, and ORIGIN PC, a builder of custom gaming and workstation desktop PCs and laptops.

   For the latest Katar Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse (a wired version is also available) CORSAIR has paired the PMW3325 optical sensor by Pixart (10000DPI/1000Hz/100IPS) with their ultra-fast sub-1ms 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM Wireless Technology (up to 65ft range - supports up to three compatible devices on a single USB adapter) which we've seen with many of their products to date. The Katar Pro Wireless is also bluetooth v4.2 compatible and features a total of 6 fully programmable buttons, DPI selection switch (also acts as an activity RGB LED - more on this later on) and is powered by a single LR6 AA alkaline battery which can power the mouse for up to 135 hours via SLIPSTREAM 2.4GHz connectivity (should be even more when using bluetooth). So, the Katar Pro Wireless may not be among the top models in the CORSAIR line but it does sound interesting so let's see if it delivers where it matters.
