The batteries are claimed to last 40 hours with standard lighting and nothing in our testing indicated that this is an overly hopeful runtime.
Finally, the wireless performance is exceptional. Furthermore, the addition of storage space on the underside ensures you won't lose the small wireless receiver if you're taking it with you to a gaming convention or just around your friends. If you didn't know better you wouldn't guess it was wireless at all. It takes no time at all to move from wireless freedom to wired charging, and the solidity of the solution means you're never going to get disconnected at an inconvenient time. The Harpoon, however, neatly gets around this by having a large connector which is kept in place with two grooves below the scroll wheel. Often charging wireless mice is a bit like charging your phone, with a mini USB that doesn't really fit and certainly won't stay in if you move it. Where it really scores big points with us though is the attention to detail that has gone into the design to convert the Harpoon chassis from a wired setup to a wireless one.

The scroll wheel is smooth, the Omron switches are as good as their legendary status and near complete ubiquity would lead you to believe - think Cherry MX but for mice - and the 10000 DPI optical sensor that beats at the heart of the Harpoon tracks true with none of the inertia or annoying software interference that can spoil some sensors. Both sides are heavily textured and rubberised which, in conjunction with its status as a true featherweight at under 100g allows you to be in complete control at all times and game for far longer than the dire '45 minutes with a break' warnings that we all ignore anyway. The Harpoon Wireless RGB though is very affordable, without any obvious compromises made to hit that attractive price point (MSRP $50 minus tax).Īlthough it's a right-handed design, it barely has any curve to speak of and the side buttons aren't hidden beneath a lip, so it's comfortable to use right-handed, but also not too bad for the Southpaws amongst you. The addition of wireless technology - here branded as Corsair Slipstream - normally means a hefty bump in the price tag and even the most basic wireless mice usually cost a packet. Corsair already provides a regular Harpoon that is wired and has a 6000 DPI sensor, but has the benefits of being incredibly cheap. Whilst the M65 Elite and Ironclaw are variations on a theme, the Harpoon Wireless RGB is treading its own path. The M65 though has adjustable weighting, but all three - including this Harpoon - are extremely light. They're also right-handed, although even here the Ironclaw is a larger mouse than the M65. Both the M65 Elite and Ironclaw are wired, with the latest PixArt PMW3391 sensor and its whopping 18000 DPI limit. After all, they have a sensor, four or more buttons, a scroll wheel and usually some form of lighting.Ī quick glance at the three mice we've reviewed today and you can see that whilst the basic recipe might be the same, in actuality, you can end up with very different products indeed. It wasn't that long ago that nearly every mouse that came through our hallowed halls utilised the Avago range of sensors, which speaks for how quickly PixArt have gained a market majority thanks to outstanding performance from their optical technology.It would be easy to imagine that all mice are the same.
The Harpoon promises all three of these elements whilst also enjoying the accuracy of the excellent PMW3325 Optical sensor from PixArt.

The most important elements to any wireless mouse are easy charging, long battery life and performance that is as lag free as a wired connection. One of the most affordable wireless mice on the market and powered by the PixArt PMW3325 Optical sensor, it's both extremely light and able to be run in either wired or cable free modes in a very quick change around. The last of the three we're reviewing today is the Harpoon RGB Wireless. Glancing at the image at the top of the page they are, from left to right, the Ironclaw RGB, the Harpoon RGB Wireless and the M65 RGB Elite.
With this in mind three mice and a new mouse mat appeared in the OC3D offices around Christmas, formed of two new designs and a refresh of a legendary classic. The Corsair Gaming range of products have long proved extremely popular, combining high build quality with affordable pricing and lots of features that have proved to be so popular they've expanded across the whole genre. With CES starting the market will soon be awash with brand new products, revisions of popular current ones, and some things we cannot yet foresee.
