I was shocked when I reviewed the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight just a couple of months ago. This is a wireless gaming mouse with the sensor and polling specs of a Razer or Logitech flagship, and yet crams it all into a 36g form factor and $99.99 MSRP. Now that it's $20 off for Black Friday, this lightweight speedster is a must-see.
You'll find the V2 Pro Ultralight available for $79.99 on Amazon's shelves this week, marking the first time I've ever seen a price cut on one of the best gaming mouse models of the year. This is a relatively recent release, so any savings are impressive - especially considering it's already offering excellent value.
Taking a look at some of the other gaming mice included in Amazon's Black Friday deals puts that price cut in even better light. The Razer Cobra Hyperspeed is still up at $89.99 with $10 off its $99.99 MSRP, while the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX is still three-figures at $129.99 (was $179.99). Both of those are record-lows, but you're still sacrificing the low weight of the Sabre and spending more.
That hurts to say - the G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX is one of my personal favorite rodents and yes, it does sport a more powerful sensor set. However, if you're going for an ultra-low weight over specs that won't necessarily be worth it for everyday players the Sabre is by far the better buy.
Even compared to the similarly priced Cobra, the Sabre puts more of its emphasis on speed and performance over jack-of-all-trades features and still comes in $10 less.
The only thing I didn't like about the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight is its DPI shifting. There's no dedicated button to swap that sensitivity on the fly, you'll need to hold the right mouse button at the same time as a side clicker. The only problem is I could never seem to get it to work when another function was mapped which, if you're using a mouse like this, is going to be pretty regular.
Other than that this is a Black Friday gaming mouse deal I would happily buy myself if I didn't already have one in the cupboard.
