INTRODUCTION

   Most people I know define a good gaming mouse from two things, shape and the type of sensor used and honestly for the most part so do I. Of course, some serious gamers I happen to know also look at the number of available buttons and looks (primarily RGB lighting nowadays) but I happen to place reliability above those (not that I wouldn't like to have all of the above if possible). Still even though compared to even just a decade ago the market is currently filled with gaming mice that do offer most of the above not many offers all and that's what some of the leading manufacturers have been trying to accomplish lately. The brand new GLAIVE RGB PRO MOBA/FPS Gaming Mouse by CORSAIR is scheduled for release today and based on our review of the GLAIVE RGB model a while back it actually seems to deliver on everything mentioned.

   Founded in 1994, CORSAIR has grown from pioneering the high-performance DRAM market into one of the world’s leading providers of high-performance PC peripherals and components. CORSAIR offers a complete range of products to equip gamers, enthusiasts and e-sports athletes, including mechanical keyboards, precision gaming mice, wireless headsets, high-performance components that gamers use to build gaming PCs, and the CORSAIR ONE fully-integrated gaming PC. With a company-wide commitment to quality, innovative design, advanced features and high performance, CORSAIR products have won thousands of media and industry awards, earning their place in gamers’ hands and PCs following years of development and engineering by a team dedicated to building great products they themselves would want to use.

   Just like with the IRONCLAW RGB model released by CORSAIR earlier this year the brand new GLAIVE RGB PRO is also outfitted with their custom PMW3391 optical sensor by Pixart which features a maximum native resolution of up to 18.000DPI (dots per inch - adjustable in single DPI increments), maximum speed of 400IPS (inches per second) and 50G's maximum acceleration. The GLAIVE RGB PRO also features 7 programmable buttons, 3 interchangeable thumb grips (magnetically attached), 3-Zone dynamic RGB backlight system (13 available lighting effects), OMRON switches for the primary buttons (up to 50 million clicks), aluminum scroll wheel and front bracket, maximum refresh rate of 1000Hz, 5 DPI presets (6 with the Sniper preset), rubber coated body and thanks to CORAIR's iCUE software it can also be calibrated for ultra-accurate and high-speed tracking on any surface. The GLAIVE RGB PRO is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
