I’m not too sure why Corsair decided to launch first with this mouse, but the upside is that anyone looking for a solid option at a good price will be treated to the cutting-edge new feature.Īlso appearing for review in this article is the M65 RGB Elite, a mouse tuned for FPS gamers, and also Ironclaw, another FPS-bound mouse that also happens to suit MOBAs quite well. The Harpoon is admittedly a strange choice to launch Slipstream technology with, because at $49.99, the mouse is not a high-end model, yet it’s includes a high-end feature. Of course, you probably won’t notice the difference between 1ms and even 0.5ms, but it’s hard to not be tempted by what’s essentially “the fastest” if you care about such things. That allows “sub-1ms” transmissions for what Corsair believes is the fastest gaming on the planet. Up first is the Harpoon, perhaps the most notable of this trio thanks to its inclusion of Slipstream wireless technology. Turning off the RGB lighting and switching the mouse to a power saving mode can also extend it to a maximum of 60 hours of continuous use.Ahead of CES, Corsair announced a trio of gaming mice ranging from $49.99~59.99, and fortunately for those pursuing an upgrade, it’s very likely that one of these rodents will grab you more than the other, as they cater to very different audiences. If you’re looking to squeeze more out of this mouse, you could switch it to Bluetooth mode for another 10 hours of usage. We find no reason to refute that claim as we’ve been testing it for a week straight and still haven’t had to plug it in yet. This is all thanks to Corsair’s newly coined Slipstream Wireless technology, which guarantees a sub 1ms latency and automatically shifts wireless frequencies to ensure your signal stays in the fast lane.Īccording to Corsair, the Harpoon RGB Wireless is rated to last for 30 hours straight with lighting turned on and in its 2.4GHz Slipstream Wireless mode. No matter which sensitivity level you choose to go with you can be confident your commands will be relayed in-game just as quickly as you click. Its 10,000 DPI optical sensor tracks even the slightest movement, though, at this point we’re more fans of low DPI and wide arm movements. The Harpoon RGB Wireless doesn’t miss a beat whether you’ve have it wireless connected to a PC or hooked up through USB. Underneath the mouse, you’ll find a switch to swap the between operating on 2.4GHz or Bluetooth LE 4.2 wireless modes and a small compartment that holds the wireless receiver – which is a feature we always want with every wireless mouse. The side buttons are also elevated perfectly to stay out of the way as we’re moving around and be accessible when we need them. Meanwhile, palm grippers will find mouse’s gentle slope rolling towards the right will allow their hand to comfortably rest on it even while they’re clicking frantically. The mouse has an hourglass-like shape a claw gripper’s fingers will naturally wrap around. Weighing in at only 99g and ergonomics distinctly designed for right-handers, this mouse might not be for everyone, but we love it for the most part. Unfortunately, this design means you’ll always have to charge the mouse with its included cable, whereas we’d much rather be able to plug in any odd micro USB we have lying around. In fact, basically won’t find any gaps on this mouse except for the prominent fork where the scroll wheel sits suspended between the separated mouse buttons.Īlthough this large gap gives the Harpoon RGB Wireless a very cool silhouette, we’re not crazy about the way it also pushes its micro USB charging port into the middle of the mouse. This gives the overall mouse an almost perfectly uniform look. Meanwhile, the sides feature a diamond-texture, rubber material for added grip. The entire top piece is made of one contiguous piece of plastic that starts from the back of the mouse, slopes over and flows out to two distinct mouse buttons without interruption. The Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless features a seamless, minimalistic design that we really dig.
