CORSAIR - DARKSTAR WIRELESS RGB MMO Gaming Mouse (CH-931A011-NA)

i just bought a Corsair Darkstar, £100 on the official site and amazon, which is a £50 discount. i'm liking it so far!

What’s your budget? I love Corsair’s Scimitar and Darkstar, but I understand iCue can be a pain for some.

You can’t be certain as if it was a good selling product that made good benefits to them. I love this mouse but my has been broken since 1 year. I bought another Corsair Darkstar as a replacement. I can suggest one of my old post which you can [find here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1cgyn4t/similar_mouse_as_logitech_g604/)which will surely help you if you love the G604.

Corsair Darkstar. 6 side buttons. 2 isn't quite enough and nobody seems to make a mouse with 4. Had two G502s before this.

I ended up getting the newer model and i love it

I actually just got the Corsair Darkstar last week. I’m still getting use to it, but so far am pleased with it. I’m like you, a 12 button number pad on my thumb is too much, and prone to misclicks.

Really digging the look of that Corsair option. The 3x4 grid most mmo mice have is just too much, I constantly use the wrong ability with all the buttons right there

Consider the Corsair Darkstar, less side buttons but I preferred the ergonomics (especially having a place for my thumb) and I really liked having the additional two buttons on the left side of the left mouse button like on the G502. In my experience, however, my Darkstar scrollwheel started skipping or suddenly scrolling in the opposite direction for a split second which got really annoying. It's possible I got a bad unit but I read online that a lot of people had the same issue. It's a shame because the mouse was otherwise perfect. Other mice with more than 2 side buttons include the Razer Basilisk V3, Logitech G502 X, Glorious Model I, and Asus ROG Spatha X. You really don't need 12 buttons, even in top tier air.

The grid style buttons take a bit to get used to. I never could. I ended up using asymmetric layouts with an empty spot for the thumb to grip. Originally a Corsair M90 and currently Corsair Darkstar.

You'll have to try and see if you like it. The side buttons can be quite annoying depending on your grip. I can't use those grid styles ones because I can't grip it without accidentally pressing a button. I've tried the circular button arrangement of the older Naga Trinity, but I didn't like the shape so much. I much prefer the Corsair Darkstar which is my current main MMO mouse.

I have personally yeah, I’ve used their scimitar, dark star, and their old glaive mouse. That’s the extent of it tho
