UPDATEHave now had this mouse for a year or so, upgraded my review to 5 stars. The slightly smaller size and sides haven't been the detriment I thought they would be, and the mouse has performed even better than expected. Charge easily lasts 4+ days, and that's with pretty constant daily use. Works perfectly on the MBP, including the software. Sensitivity and responsiveness are top rate... sometimes there's a very slight amount of latency, but that's usually because I'm somehow maxing out the MBP (laptop shortcomings, not the mouse). Best mouse on the market IMHO if you don't need a $500 mouse (elite gaming peripheral) but want solid performance with really fast responsiveness and great battery life.ORIGINALMBP user, I splurged on a Mamba after many happy years using MS mice (up until they killed their peripheral program ms mice were some of the best around). I'd heard about Mamba's lack of Mac support, but figured 1) they have to release the software for it EVENTUALLY (whoops) and 2) even if I can't do some control stuff, it HAS to be a great basic mouse (whoops 2).I've never been as disappointed with a peripheral as I was with the mamba. No software, scroll wheel is over deliberate, scroll wheel often freaks out when scrolling and jumps you up or down the page some unpredictable amount of rows, and clicking is only intermittently responsive.So, I finally got fed up, decided to just toss the expensive mamba, and buy the corsair. After a few hours of use I can say I am both happy and angry; happy because it works so much better, angry I wasted $65 on the stupid mamba. For those contemplating the switch here's what I can say so far.PROS- Highly responsive, very good control- HAS SOFTWARE- scroll wheel is very smooth... has a clicking as it scrolls, but it's much subtler than the mamba and thus more accurate/precise.- Not too large, good ergonomic feel- Battery? Can't speak to this yet, but the mamba lasts no more than 2 days on a charge, and this apparently lasts a week, so...CONS- Its narrower than the mamba... I have med/lg hands (6' man). Unlike the mamba, the mouse is a little narrower, and it "pinches" in a little on the sides. This is good for grip, but it makes the mouse a little less full. Whether this will cause problems over time I don't know... really depends on how you hold the mouse and whether you like a "full hand".- Because the sides are grooved plastic the side grip feels less secure than other smoother mice... it's weird and hard to describe. My fingers have less contact with the mouse sides, which means I have to grip a tiny bit tighter, which I suspect will cause aching over time, but we'll see. The positive is that it'll reduce heat between your fingers and the mouse and should reduce hand sweating.About $20 less than I paid for the mamba and seems 10x better already. Really good price on a pretty high tech mouse, if it lives up to the hype it'll be well worth it.

Is a great wireless mouse for gaming. Not much lag noticed for an average gamer. Is light and not much resistance when moving across desk matts. However, battery life is not that great. Needs to recharge every 1 or 2 weeks depending on usuage.

Produto chegou em perfeito estadao, muito bem embalado. Estou com ele a duas semanas e posso dizer que o mouse é muito bom. Bateria dura em media 3 dias e configurar ele pelo software da corsair é muito facil. O unico problema desse mouse ate o momento é o software da corsair que é extremamente lento.

Wireless, or Bluetooth, or wired, with an internal rechargeable battery, what more could you want?I've bought both the wireless Harpoon "Wireless" and the Dark Core "Standard Charging"After some use of the Harpoon it began to feel a little small, which prompted my purchase of the Dark Core, which is absolutely beautiful - full sized, it feels great in the hand, with a bit of weight and rubberized sides. I am a tall/large person, the Dark Core feels great in the hand, whether palm, claw, or grip.The Harpoon is a solid mouse, just a tiny bit small for my hand.Some reviews have said that the side-button placing on the Dark Core is awkward, and they're right, it is a little awkward. But an easy fix for the forward/back buttons, is to remap the 'Sniper' button onto the forward button, and remap the forward button onto the sniper button. Which is pretty easy with the software.I've found iCUE fairly easy to navigate, and easy to remap and create macros with. As well as adjust RGB.I've had no connection issues (as described by some reviews) with either the Harpoon or Dark Core.The ergonomic design for the Dark Core is not only the best feeling of any mouse I've owned, but it looks great too. And a little RGB action for fun.The Harpoon is a decent ergonomic design with nice rubberized, grippy sides. but again, just a wee bit to small for me hands.Also, the DPI button has a massive range.It's a work of art.
