I like the Nightsword myself. The thumb shelf is a game changer.

I bought a Razer Naga Trinity and it started double clicking within 9 months. Shocking anything they make lasts longer than a year On the flip side, my Steelseries Rival 110 has been my most solid mouse ever purchased. I bought it in 2017 or 2018 as a cheap mouse to carry with my laptop, and it’s so stout and solid I love that thing My main PC has a Corsair NightSword and after over 2 years of very heavy gaming and Blender use, the scroll wheel button is starting to get inconsistent. That’s lasted longer than any Razer, new Steelseries, Alienware, or Cooler Master mouse I’ve ever owned.

I use a Nightsword. It’s wired but fits my palm so well and it’s heavy with all the weights in. I love it.

Gonna third this, specifically the Nightsword mouse from Corsair I have three programmable buttons and it helps a lot My fingers can hit everything else I've macrod to my keyboard. When I did upgrade once to an MMO mouse I didn't like how small the buttons were and found it more of a hindrance than anything else.

i currently use the corsair nightsword rgb and it is definitely showing its age lol, i preordered one of these based on your review! my favorite thing about the nightsword was how light and shallow the actuations were on its mechanical switches so hopefully i can get a similar experience here. itll be a bit weird moving from an ergo mouse to logitech's safe shape, but it cant be THAT hard, right?

Corsair Nightsword RGB. Objectively, there isn't anything functionally wrong with it but over the two years that I had it I've grown to hate the wire and the build quality did not hold up. Side panels creak and all the programmable buttons are loose. Additionally, the whole mouse feels gross to use, as the rubberized grips have disintegrated to the point it exposes the underlying plastic and over the years a bunch of "gamer gunk" has gotten stuck in the grooves and the texture of the rubberized grips. I have tried cleaning it. Finally, its heavy. It has given me wrist pain and I will soon be upgrading to the Pro x2 Superstrike. That's a 49% weight reduction, so my wrist will be thanking me. As a side note, do not get Corsair peripherals. They kind of suck. I tried upgrading from the Nightsword RGB to the Corsair M75 but the two products that I got both had really bad QC.
