Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE Gaming Mouse Review | bit-tech

[@angrytomasz]

I'm replacing my glaive as well, not because it's broken but because I just want to try something new without a wire. This was a nice review.

[@angrytomasz]

Also, LiPo batteries are tricky. They don't like being empty but they don't like being full either. Ideally you want to keep it between 30-80%. Draining the battery completely can actually lead to the battery dying. That's just the nature of lithium polymer batteries.

It charges just fine using my Samsung dual wireless charger (phone and watch) so I didn't have to worry about getting that mouse pad!!! Im a huge fan of this mouse.

[@rashaadhartley]

Thank you, been looking at other videos, but this is what I needed!

[@AndrewGulick13]

I usually have my DPI at 16k (since several high-res monitors for productivity/coding), with the previous dark core rgb se; I'd probably put it up to 18k with this

[@BoMenzzz]

Yay! You are the first person I know now! Very interesting 😊 Thank you us letting me know!

[@AndrewGulick13]

@@BoMenzzz It's definitely something I had to work up to over a few months, but at this point my wrist doesn't really move, and I just mostly shift my thumb and pinky/ring finger. I sometimes still need to bring it down to 12k for intense FPS gaming, but this way I don't need to have a huge mousepad or anything As far as the mouse itself, the one thing I am disappointed in, is that they got rid of the sniper button. Other than that, it looks like a decent refresh to the mouse

[@Pabloesc571]

Nice review.. I’m looking to get this mouse because as I’ve bought myself the Corsair K65 wireless keyboard coupled with their lapboard.. as I like my couch PC gaming.

[@carsonspangs4202]

Did u buy it?

[@PortbyhanMan]

Going to get one next week! It'll go with the rest of my Corsair gear - as I have the Viruroso headset I assume it's the same charging cable (looks like it to me). Currently using the M65 RGB Elite (white), but, after 3 yrs it feels like the left mouse and middle mouse buttons are starting to go, so I'll keep it as a spare.

[@johnrock9716]

You asked for feedback about DPI - I'm actually not a gamer, I use it for drafting buildings bc I'm an architect. I haven't tried this yet, but hoping it provides me some extra precision because sometimes the lines get very difficult to select when they are very close together.

[@LoliZer0]

Awesome video. Just bought my self this mouse. Thanks for the review!

[@mahmoudali1259]

Thank you

[@impatience4450]

Does this use Slipstream for wireless? I've recently got a Virtuoso headset and the wireless dongle is a lot bigger than the one included with this mouse!

[@BoMenzzz]

It does use SLIPSTREAM technology 😊 Yeah the dongle for this is super small!

[@impatience4450]

Melissa Almost tempted to upgrade my mouse just for the small dongle! 😂 Not keen on having the larger dongle sticking out of my PC all the time

[@BoMenzzz]

@@impatience4450 I do find sometimes, I've damaged the dongle over time... with accidentally knocking it or something, so having something so small tucked away is great!😊

Bonjour et merci à bit-tech pour les différentes réalisations venant de sa propre conception de désigner (boîtier, cartes graphiques, water bloc). Vous êtes des Génies. Merci pour vos présentations. Un problème persistant depuis des années qui passe comme un rien était, qui est de prendre en considération les Gauchers. Toujours des produits pour droitiers ou ambidextre mais jamais de produits pour gauchers. Après avoir vu vos réalisations, je suis sûr que vous êtes capable de concevoir la modification d’une coque de souris pour gaucher en inversant les commandes interne. À quand cette vidéo. Merci à toute votre équipe. JD Hello and thanks to bit-tech for the various achievements coming from its own design to designate (case, graphics cards, water block). You're Geniuses. Thank you for your presentations. A persistent problem for years that passes as nothing was, which is to take into consideration the Gauchers. Always products for right-handed or ambidextrous but never products for left-handed. After seeing your achievements, I'm sure you're able to design a left-handed mouse shell by reversing the internal controls. When is this video. Thank you to all your team. JD

[@nathanaelrenaud6004]

Je pense pas que ce soit simple d'inverser les circuits imprimés d'une souris malheureusement, j'ai jamais démonté de souris haut de gamme mais si tout est soudés sur un seul circuit ça va être compliqué de replacer tout les boutons de manière correcte même en ayant autant de matériel que sur cette chaîne youtube, ensuite il faut être réaliste : 1) les gauchers sont très peu nombreux 2) les gauchers qui ont les moyens de le faire sont encore moins nombreux 3) les gauchers qui ont le matos seront encore moins nombreux à vouloir le faire 4) chaque modèle de souris est différent donc même en traitant les plus gros modèles ce serait long et ne rapporterait aucun bénéfice, au minimum ... Désolé ^^ à la limite t'aurais plus de chance en réunissant des gauchers sur les réseaux sociaux et en interpellant les grosses marques à ce sujet, bon courage et bonne chance !

I've had the original version of this mouse for the last almost six months. One exchange so far and the issues aren't solved. I have however a piece of advice for anyone who has the original as well. TURN THE MOUSE OFF TO CHARGE!!!! Over time charging the mouse while it's on makes the mouse's wireless charging ability to fail, among other issues. The 2nd mouse I received started to have the same issues as the 1st until I started turning the mouse off for charging. Corsair hopefully has fixed the charging issues on this version and if so I hope they are exchanging the originals for this version! Anyone else have issues? The other issues I had were having to restart the mouse, software and sometimes the computer after the system went into standby mode. FTR everything else about the mouse is actually quite nice, just need to overlook it's failings.

[@notmyname8608]

Great advise but mine already stopped working that's why i'm scared to buy from corsair anymore

[@TheAETHER22]

I read this comment after i ordered a pro se. Now im scared

[@alexvswrld]

AetherHorizon lol I was in your shoes, I ended up cancelling my order

[@patzeek8082]

Had it for less than a day, and an issue I’m already having is something between input lag and inputs not registering at all. Granted it’s only with the dongle, wired is fine and I haven’t tried bluetooth, but I don’t want to, I planned to use it for gaming.

[@n0rie9a]

lmaoooooo 18000 wtf... i am currently playing GR breakpoint and with 0 sens in game settings and 500~ 600 dpi on my logitech G9x and its still twitchy as hell; on most current gen games lowest sens also mice have hit an evolution wall a loooong time ago; only reason for this kind of sens is for 8k displays i guess

[@santaro1986]

What is the SE stands for ? I am confused

[@adrianmacias9144]

I think it stands for Special Edition

[@tanto5948]

Great video very informative

[@TheInvoker78]

They keep putting those 2 buttons on the left button but it would be much better if they were on the scroll wheel (dx and sx). Also, this version has only 2 side buttons instead of 3

[@sharkdog83]

I bought this mouse because of this review on the fact the two front side buttons are programable there not there dpi buttons was disappointed to find out that they weren’t if they are and you know how to do it please more info on that

[@twiggy_]

just gotta say..... in love with the setup in the back! eeveelution fanboy here haha

[@nycthinklab966]

ty good vid! new subscriber!

[@The2808erik]

This mouse is in a weird spot in my opinion. It doesn't have enough buttons for a moba/mmo mouse and the weight with 133 grams is way too high for a good fps mouse.

[@adamt4181]

This is completely personal preference. All I play is FPS games and prefer a heavier mouse. Think mine is like 160grams (added weights).

[@The2808erik]

@@adamt4181 I disagree, you can't defy physics, what weight you accelerate with the mouse you also have to decelerate and aiming with your wrist at high DPI is not precise at all.

[@adamt4181]

@@The2808erik I use low dpi and sensitivity in games like csgo. Lift up mouse. It's all preference, just gotta get used to it. 100% does not hinder you.

@@adamt4181 Again you can't cheat physics, there is a reason all pro players use mice under 100 grams. I suggest you watch Rocket Jump Ninjas opinion if you don't trust mine, he has a lot of data on that topic.People aim better with lighter and smaller mice generally speaking.

is it full plastic or has rubber?

Hi there. Is the mouse can use with wired cable only? Or the included usb-c cable is for charging only? I want to use it with my macbook, it has only usb-c connection

[@BoMenzzz]

It can be used as a wired mouse too via the usb-c cable 😊

[@LexLutha]

Why would they ditch the sniper button?

[@HazmatPyro]

I guess it was because of accidental clicks

[@The2808erik]

You can configure you own sniper button, via software, on which ever button you like.

[@ScreamOG1]

When did they ditch it? I’m having problems with mine I’ve only had for 2 weeks, and I was wondering why this doesn’t look the same as mine

[@HazmatPyro]

@@ScreamOG1 The Dark Core RGB Pro is a newer version of the Dark Core RGB. They ditched the sniper button and added a lightbar on the pro model, hence why yours doesn't look the same as this one. Hope this explains it

I really don't know which mouse to buy... I was going for the logitech, but Corsair launched the Dark Core Pro and now I?ve no idea which one to buy... In your opinion does the Dark Core will be suitable for FPS games due to the high weight or it's better the logitech? Thank's

[@alvohaga]

Generally saying lighter mouse are better for fps games. Its mostly personal preference though.

It does say in the video. But 1-18,000 in 1 dpi increments.

So can you used it wired or not ?

[@sharkygames1473]

I have the original and yes, you can. I don't see why this would change for the new one. Although someone else here said that its good to turn off the mouse while charging it so take that as you will. But I can plug it in with a USB cable and not have the receive plugged in and it works just fine.

if ur thinking about getting this, dont. corsair is not the same quality as back in the day. buy a competitor at near same price. had this mouse 2 months and wont charge or turn on, light use i work all week. Spend your money to a company that will value your return on your money. Corsair has been gouged for profit. These products DO NOT last. Google dark core not charging if you dont believe me. Countless threads, most unresolved with a shit out of luck message or forced to pay to return it. My biggest regret in my pc setup is using corsair in modern day.

Chi charging...

[@BoMenzzz]

Its derived from the Chinese word. It's pronounced "chee" or "chi" 😊

[@SecondPrice]

The Mouse is a big disappointment. Poor battery life (1 day at 1000 DPI and the mouse screams for new juice), cheap plastic build (black coating peeling off after 3 month), and frustrating software (latest version doesn't work, older version works but constantly prompts for updates which would disconnect the mouse). Not recommended!!! I feel ripped off

You said they are programmable; would this be compatible with photoshop or adobe's other design software? That's what I'd be using if for haha no gaming

[@xxJOKeR75xx]

You can save keys and shortcuts as makros and assign them to buttons via the iCUE software. I have a Glaive though, so it's not the same but it works the same. I rather use my keyboard shortcuts with Photoshop though so i don't think this is your product really.

[@sharkygames1473]

Personally i have the original Dark Core, but i don't see why it would be any different. In the iCUE software you can set each button to be a macro of any function you may want. For me i make one of the side buttons mimic the Q key for push to talk during games because it takes one less function away from having to be done with my left hand. Although this mouse only has a few side buttons, good if you have 2-3 macros you used often, but any more than that your gonna have to use they keyboard.
