Summary: An interesting alternative to the M65, the Sabre Optical RGB offers a very similar experience but with (in our opinion) more comfortable shape. Yet another high quality peripheral from Corsair Gaming.

The Corsair range of peripherals has been slowly expanding, and the RGB series combines the excellence of their early efforts with the colours and customisation that we've come to expect from modern peripherals.

For ￡50, the Sabre Optical is a very good mouse. We have no real complaints about the performance of the optical sensor, and the build and materials are reassuringly high quality. We do wish a sniper button had been included, but nonetheless for claw and finger grip users looking for a light, nimble...

Sabre is a lightweight mouse, perfect to match your gaming needs. With lots of features and high-resolution sensor, it performs well, and lets you configure lights as per your choice that adds beauty in it, but the mouse is available at the comparatively higher rate.

Expensive

Just like any other Corsair gaming mice, the Sabre comes with a standard two-year warranty. It feels good in the hands of a claw grip or finger grip gamer, and it has just the right amount of weight. Its build quality is superb and it definitely feels solid and firm in the hand.

The Corsair Gaming Sabre Laser RGB Gaming Mouse retails at RM 252 – you get a mouse that's comfortable to hold, braided USB, laser sensor with very high DPI that's great for gaming larger screen resolution, customizable buttons (with Omron switches) and RGB lights.
