Review on Corsair Nightsword RGB Gaming Mouse – Ergonomic, Tunable, 18000 DPI, Backlit RGB LED, Black by Erik Sanders

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A couple of major flaws that made me pick the G502 instead of

I really wanted to like this mouse. Let me just say that the mouse is nice and wide and in good shape. It has a nice shape that allows your hand to hold the mouse. I have medium to small hands. However, there are a couple of downsides that made me return it to get the Logitech G502. First, the scroll wheel is very soft and bad. It doesn't have a very pronounced click when moving up or down. So I doubt if I moved the wheel enough when changing weapons etc. Also, it was halfway to a full click in a few hours of testing and unintentionally triggered the scrolling, causing my weapons to switch. Not normal! I like the rubberized scroll wheel versus the metallic (and slippery) G502 scroll wheel. Second, the mouse's 3rd "sniper" button is far forward for my thumb to reach it comfortably. I have to choke on the mouse at an odd angle to reach it. it's not ok The cable on the mouse is very stiff, and even after trying to straighten the cable, it doesn't lie flat and won't buckle your hands into it. Finally, the mouse's rubber coating doesn't have a good grip at all. So I found that my hand had rolled down the back of the mouse and lost its position on the top of the mouse. However, RGB on a mouse is cool and looks nice. If it weren't so bad I would keep it. If you have very long thumbs this might work for you and if you don't care about scrolling accuracy and feedback.
