However, it does feel a tad cluttered as some settings should be more logically organized and the whole thing could be simplified a bit. I didn't encounter any bugs while using it, and it's fast and does not lag. The Corsair iCUE software, which controls all newer Corsair products, is quite good. As for the cable, it's quite great it's rather ironic that a wireless model has a more flexible cable than the company's wired models. I think they should be thicker as well, with rounder contact edges to eliminate this issue. Mouse feet are the greatest letdown on this mouse in my opinion as they don't feel smooth and have quite a lot of friction. The side buttons are nice and very snappy, which is actually quite rare. The main buttons have Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks, which is a great addition to the overall image. I'm also pretty sure this is a firmware-related issue because it's present even when the mouse is connected via its cable, so it's not because of the wireless lag.īuttons on the Harpoon RGB Wireless are great: they are nice and tactile and have no significant play or unnecessary travel. As for the latency, the Harpoon RGB Wireless isn't the fastest tracking device around, but the measured ~2.5 milliseconds of input lag will not be a deal breaker for most end users. The lift-off distance is unfortunately quite high with this sensor, but this can be helped by adding some thicker mouse feet, for instance. It has a high, but not unreachable perfect control speed and is raw and responsive. Sensor-wise, the PixArt PMW3325 is not a flagship model, but it definitely isn't bad at all. However, this is entirely a matter of personal preference. As for the weight, it could be lower as at about 101 grams and with these dimensions, the mouse feels quite heavy for its size in my opinion. Other than that, it's perfect as there is no creaking, squeaking, or misalignment of any sort. The build quality suffers from only a minor issue, some sort of rattling that can only be heard when the mouse is shaken really hard.

The choice of materials is great, and the surface coatings are nice and grippy. It's mainly built for claw and fingertip grippers, but I'm sure it can comfortably be used in a palm grip with smaller hands. It features grooves on the sides and the main buttons, for the sake of maximum control and comfort. The Harpoon is rather unique in terms of shape-it's rather short, but quite bulky and has a right-handed ergonomic shell. More and more manufacturers try to catch up as Logitech is currently leading the market with their Lightspeed peripherals. When it comes to gaming mice, casual players might have been using wireless models for quite a while, but for eSports-grade competitions, they were pretty much out of the question until recently. The future is steeped in wireless technology, which is confirmed day after day. Corsair has unveiled some interesting new offerings at CES, and the Harpoon RGB Wireless is definitely one of the best of those (however, I think the M65 RGB Elite is objectively a lot better even though it has a higher price).
