Corsair Sabre V2 Pro MG + CF Mice Review
Just a few weeks after reviewing the 36 gram Sabre V2 Pro, Corsair has returned with two more premium versions built from magnesium and carbon fibre. They’re heavier, more rigid and undeniably more refined, with improved battery life and added Bluetooth support. But in chasing a more premium feel, Corsair has moved away from the extreme lightweight identity that made the original stand out. The question is whether that trade-off makes these better overall… or simply different.

KitGuru says: The materials used in these mice certainly give them a premium, eye-catching allure. However, the added weight takes away what made the original Sabre v2 Pro so appealing.
