Obviously, these wordings are straight out of Corsair Gaming' product description, the real question is, are they any good in real life? Of course they are. The aim of these switches is for reliability and quick response. This is a pretty cool design, and from a practical perspective, it makes cleaning easier, too.īeneath the buttons, the Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB features Omron switches that have a rated lifetime of twenty million clicks. One unique design is the mouse wheel is suspended in mid-air in the center, with nothing immediately below it like a conventional mouse. I would much prefer a separate increase and decrease button, but there is only so much you can ask for in a $30 mouse, haha. The mouse allows five sensitivity settings to be saved per profile, so pressing this button will cycle through the configured sensitivity steps in ascending order. Combined with the previous image, you can see besides the standard left click, right click, and clickable scroll wheel, there is a forward and back button on the left - which is arguably standard nowadays - and a sensitivity cycle switch on top. The Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB does not come with a whole lot of buttons, but it does come with what most people will use every day. Overall, I found the Harpoon RGB is very comfortable to touch, and maintains great control and grip even if your hands are particularly sweaty during the summer. All surface material is part of the unibody shell in other words, they are not simply stickers - the surface is molded this way from the factory. Its surface material is composed of a matte soft touch paint, while both sides are made out of a textured rubber grip. My hand size is pretty average, so if you are a claw or finger grip kind of person, this mouse is for you. I naturally reverted to a claw type grip, which seemed more fitting. I am a palm grip type user myself, and not surprisingly, the Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB does not work too well for this purpose. Based on these numbers, you can see the mouse is built for small to average sized hands. 85g is really light, which makes it suitable for a wide genre of games, especially if you want something for quick, swift movements. The 85g weight of Corsair's pointing device is not adjustable, so you will need to deal with whatever the company think is the best for you if this ends up on your desk. ![]() ![]() Measuring in at 111.5mm deep and 68.3mm wide, and 40.4mm tall, the Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB is pretty standard, if not slightly compact, when it comes to physical dimensions. Those who looking for a palm grip is probably better off with something else, even though you can still do it. Due to the size and nature of the mouse, I found it better for those who prefer to handle their mouse with their fingers. The reason why I say it is "nearly symmetrical" is due to the shape of the shell, which is tilted slightly higher on the left than the right for right handed users. As far as design is concerned, the Harpoon RGB we are looking at today is a nearly symmetrical mouse that can generally accommodate multiple gripping styles. ![]() This makes the Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB an interesting case where the company aims to one-up - or undercut, depending on your perspective - by offering even better specifications on paper than the competition for $10 less. A Closer Look - Hardware and SoftwareĮarlier this year, I reviewed the SteelSeries Rival 100, a mouse that aims to deliver on a lot with a price tag of only $40. ![]()
