This allows for optimal control during games and a more immersive gaming experience.The Katar Pro XT also offers versatile customization. With Corsair iCUE software, users can adjust RGB lighting and program macros to suit their individual preferences. Additionally, it features six programmable buttons that can be configured for game-specific shortcuts or commands.Durability and build quality are highlights of the Katar Pro XT. With high-quality Omron switches and a robust build, this mouse is built to withstand heavy use and last a long time.

I honestly feel like the advertising kind of undersold how good it is for a $30 mouse.It's a little smaller in height and width than my old G403 (which I personally like) but being a fingertip grip player it is actually a decent amount more comfortable than the G403 was and the light weight is really nice.The cord is really loose/light to the feel which might make it less durable over the long-term but makes it easier to maneuver compared to a stiffer cord.The best thing about this mouse for me though is the iCUE software for it, you can disable the side buttons (forward/back button) functionality completely or reassign them. Personally a big deal for me because I would constantly hit them accidently on my old mouse & caused a bunch of issues.The DPI buttons 3 stages can be custom set and disabled to just have 1, 2, or 3 stages which is nice since I prefer a higher DPI for gaming vs scrolling the web.Lastly it can be calibrated to the surface you use it on (I don't use mouse pads) so that it works more efficiently on that surface.Only thing I can say at this point that I think they could've done better on would be some rubber on the sides for a softer grip feel. Overall the mouse texture doesn't feel bad but definitely something I'd be willing to pay a little more money for.(will update later on with durability/longevity as any issues arise)

Update 2 days after, 16hrs of game play: I am used to the Corsair Scimitar, a palm rest mouse for MMO gameplay. Had used that mouse for like 10years it seems, well it finally started failing, so i got this to use in the mean time. These are some points to keep in mind while purchasing.(I always purchase wired)(Comparing the Katar to Scimatar)-The Katar mouse is Light in weight-Finger tip grip mouse, no big hump for palm rest.-they changed the cord from a hard paracord, to a cheesy soft paracordOverall for the price, this thing is beast!

This was my first "gamer" mouse. Its really light in compare to your every day office mouse or well not "gamer" mouses. I love the lowkey RGB at the mouse wheel. iCUE (the software in which you can set up RGB and syncing with other Corsair devices for RGB modes, etc.) its an overall 8/10 it can be bothersome but most of the time you will forget it even exists.Setting different DPI settings and switching them with a button is extremely powerful and also de side buttons made my experience overall when gaming and using my pc. I do recommend side buttons if you havent tried them before.The ONLY thing I got to complain is the fact that after a while. 2 years tops the mouse wheel is squeaky. ITs horrible, if you scroll down its going to squeak like a mf. Also It has started jumping a bit (scrolling up and down) because of presence of maybe dust (that might actually be my environment but still). The longevity of the scroll wheel might be an issue for everyone.I am rating it 4/5 because for a starter gamer mouse it gives you all the perks and solid RGB and DPI settings and actually being lightweight. Powerful mouse but I really hate and worry about that squeaky mouse wheel everyday...

Good build quality. Nice sleeved cable. Very lightweight mouse for its size. Great value for the price. Can't speak to the longevity yet, but I've had good experiences with Corsair hardware in the past.I don't need my mouse to do a whole lot of hoopla, I just need it to do simple mouse things. I'm moving to this mouse after using a Razer Abyssus for over 7 years straight, mostly because of the price, similar dimensions, and similar weight. Very good drop in replacement, it feels almost exactly the same. I prefer the shape of the abyssus slightly for the palm bump, it's all the way back towards the palm on the Abyssus whereas this mouse has it located near the center. Not a deal-breaker at all, just really the only thing I like less about this mouse vs. the abyssus, and that's just personal taste.Corsair's iCUE software is very well put together compared to other lighting software I've seen. It was also very easy for me to just set the light to a static color (or off entirely) and leave it, but there are some very programmable options in there if you're into that sort of thing. If you have other Corsair (or possibly other compatible brands?) products with RGB, you should be able to sync it all there.
