Review on ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless SLIPSTREAM Technology Gaming Mouse with 10,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Wireless Rechargeable by Ryan Bowers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Less than 6 months old and wireless* requires a disclaimer.

If you're obsessed with this mouse, at least get the wired version. My computer. This sporadic tracking, which causes the cursor to jump across the screen, occurs at any DPI setting. If you can get the WiFi working, you can expect less than a week of battery life with typical usage (3 hours a day). You can reduce or disable the RGB mode to increase its lifespan, unless you're using Linux or Mac OS X, for which the drivers are missing or completely broken. If you use Windows, you can use the 339MB iCue software. That's right, 339MB for the mouse driver that controls the backlight. Why 339MB? Was it written entirely in Python with emojis? After about 5 months, the mouse began to lag significantly. This mostly happens when the mouse is left idle for more than a minute. At maximum movement there is an almost dead zone before it fires. This happened during the post. To be honest I'm not sure if that happened with wireless as well as the mouse was so sporadic and unreliable that I couldn't tell. Maybe I had problems with the driver. Driver issue that persisted on two mouse operating systems with the default HID-compliant driver. It's also possible that I have a problem with the USB ports. All of them. All 8 on my main Windows/Linux PC including 2 front USB ports and both USB ports on my Macbook running OSX. Or maybe the mouse was just a piece of junk with fancy lights that could completely wipe out Fukushima 2 in Japan in less than a week.
