Smart Weight & Balance System
It features an advanced weight management system that automatically detects the center of gravity in real time through the software. It includes two sets of weights and six placement points, offering a total of 120 different distribution combinations. The total weight of the mouse can be adjusted from 119g to 141g, allowing the user to customize inertia and movement feel. The CORSAIR iCUE software visually displays the mass distribution, making it easier to optimize balance for the user's specific grip type.
Omron Switches & Programming
Equipped with ultra-durable Omron switches, the mouse is certified for 50 million clicks, guaranteeing long-term reliability and consistent actuation feel. It offers 10 fully programmable buttons, which can be configured to execute complex macros or key remaps for in-game advantage. The built-in memory (Onboard Profile Storage) allows you to save your settings profiles directly to the hardware, making the mouse ready for use on any system without the need for active background software.
Ergonomics & iCUE Connectivity
Its design strictly follows ergonomic standards for right-handed users, ideal for Palm Grip type hold, with a special anti-slip rubber coating inspired by professional sports equipment. It supports dynamic 4-zone RGB backlighting with unlimited color and effect options. Through the CORSAIR iCUE ecosystem, full lighting synchronization with other peripherals is achieved. Communication with the computer is via a wired USB connection with selectable Report Rate at 1000Hz, 500Hz, 250Hz, or 125Hz for zero latency.
