Corsair new mice, Sabre Laser RGB and Sabre Optical RGB

Corsair new gaming mice come with both laser and optical sensor. It comes with the logo that many people hate though, though I think the logo looks not bad with leds colours on, unlike the simple sticker one on the keyboard. What do you guys think? Is having both laser and optical variant a bad idea? Since many people prefer optical one.

Edit: Seems does not on par with the logitech g502 other than the colour IMO.

I think having both an optical and laser variant is a genius good idea.

 

 

G502 for life.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

God, I hate the way these promotional videos are made. They're clearing trying to target the younger demographic that just soaks up all the flashy stuff, or portraying gamers as people who only care about how many lights a piece of hardware has.

Corsair is quickly becoming another Razor or something. Half the reason I hate the separate gaming branding.

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

I want the sabre optical. Look like a mouse that would suite me pretty darn well so far.

I really don't think so. They are closer to a cooler Master. If you want to see a Razer clone that makes me sad inside look at SteelSeries. Why did it have to happen, why!

I think having both is not a bad Idea but I don't think many people will be that interested in a mouse other than optical realy

I'll wait until there's more concrete information on the sensor quality of the optical version. Overall the Sabre mice look like they were made marketing first, quality second. Not a fan.

The advert is the standard cringeworthy fare, but what's the point of it? It's not small or light enough to be ideal for fingertip grippers, so they seem to be aiming at exactly the same market segment as their M45/M65. Even the most cynical reasons I can think of for this existing have already been covered by the latest incarnations of the aforementioned mice, so it seems odd that they've catered to the exact same people they've already catered to instead of making a smaller/bigger mouse for an untapped corner of the market.

 

Edit: Not to mention, the name "Sabre" makes me fear for the future of their peripheral branch. Corsair were the only people other than Logitech making dignified gaming peripherals, it'd be a shame to lose that.

Honestly, I don't hate the branding. The lights and buttons I don't care for, but the sensor sounds good and the shape looks comfortable. that's the only thing that matters to me. It's priced the same as the G502, so it's this or that.

Same here man. And the more desirable optical version is actually cheaper isnt it?

The laser is available for preorder on Newegg and amazon now but nothing on the optical.

Whadd'ya expect from a company who went with a tramp stamp for their new logo without doing some PR work beforehand? lool

I can't stand when people complain about that. I get that it looks bad, and it definitely is a factor in choosing a product, but that doesn't mean corsair is a bad company. Does a new logo automatically make a company bad? They even tried to make whiners like you happy by creating "sails" versions of many of their keyboards and the m65 rgb. AND YOU STILL WHINE AS HELL!!! IS THE NEW LOGO REALLY THAT BAD!? WILL ANYONE LAUGH AT IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A TRAMP STAMP!? HELL NO!!!

Well I'm not whining about it, and I'm not the one typing in all caps, lol. If I was, I would be signing those dumb change.org petitions people started. Corsair can do what they want. They're just making very strange decisions and it doesn't look good. Least Cooler Master does PR work from time to time.

I don't know why most gaming mice just have 2 buttons (on the side), I need 3 for fps games, and 6 is ideal for productivity, which is why i am getting a g602.

It's to keep cost and weight down. Also to prevent mistakes during gaming (when lifting etc.). I would like to see more 3 side button mice though and at least one "MMO" mouse with a proper optical sensor.

I personally like really heavy mice so that wouldn't be an issue for me (i mean REALLY heavy, if there was a 400g mouse i would probably get it)

Windows only natively supports 5 mouse buttons. Any additional buttons require software to be remapped to other keys.

Are you saying there is a problem with it? It worked perfectly fine with my $30 mouse from a pretty small company...
