Corsair Sabre RGB Pro Champion Series

IT’S NOT OFTEN this editor gets to review mice. In fact, at modern-day Maximum PC, we tend to leave that particular pursuit to our ex-esports FPS semi-pro player and peripheral aficionado, Dave Alcock. That said, this review came about due to an unforeseen circumstance. Namely, we needed a new mouse. Or rather, wanted one. One in particular: Corsair’s M65 RGB Pro.

The M60 line of mice is different from most modern gaming mice. Both in its shape and its weight. The design is bulky, wide, ideal for palm-grippers, and hefty, too. The original M60 Vengeance came in at just shy of 4.2oz (or 118g) without the included weights that you could load it up with. Throw all those extra counters in underneath, and you’d end up with a chunky mouse tipping the scales at 4.8oz (135g) or thereabouts, depending on the version. Couple that with an oddly comfortable yet surprisingly ergonomic grip, and it easily made it a fan favorite among small-handed palm-grippers.

We asked Corsair’s PR if they had any kicking around, because we think ours must be trapped somewhere in a cupboard in head office, covered in years of dirt, grime, and abuse. But, sadly, the answer was no. However, they did recommend we take Corsair’s latest offering—the Sabre RGB Pro Champion Series—out for a spin instead.

Now, this is quite possibly as far away as you can get from the M60 style of design. It’s not a wide mouse and it’s certainly not heavy either. In fact, it has been developed (as most things seem to be these days) with esports in mind. Which means that it’s super-light, with a top-notch sensor (a Pixart PMW3392), just enough buttons, and all manner of tech wizardry designed to push your super-leet-fragging-death-kill-streak chicken-dinner-winnings to the max. We think. Probably.
