Our Verdict

Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS

Corsair NIGHTSABRE WIRELESS

The Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS and the Corsair NIGHTSABRE WIRELESS are wireless gaming mice designed for playing games in various genres. The DARKSTAR WIRELESS has a right-handed shape and more programmable buttons, making it better suited for MMO, MOBA, and RTS games. On the other hand, the NIGHTSABRE WIRELESS has a symmetrical shape that narrows quite towards the middle and front. It also has more customizable RGB lighting.
