The new Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro boasts a number of changes. Some of these are cosmetic. For example it has a different side button layout and different mouse wheel texture. It also has MORE RGB than the last model, a touch more DPI but less buttons. It also has USB-C instead of Micro USB.
It's worth noting that this video is comparing the SE version with the new standard version (because they didn't send me the SE) but you still can get a wireless charging model too!

Thank you for the video, I was getting confused why some videos showed the sniper button and others didn't. Turns out it's 2 different mice 😅 Man, coming from the M65, I really wish they would've just cut the chord and made it wireless, I really liked the original sniper button.

Any chance you could do a comparison between the corsair dark core rgb pro and the death adder v2? I cant decide which one to get.

@steveobrien8792 4 жыл бұрын

I just got the Dark Core pro a week ago. I'm new to the gaming mouse and keyboard world so I was pretty Shocked when the mouse died after a day or two. I've been used to Logitech productivity mice that use 2 AA batteries and last for over a year with pretty heavy use. But I can't complain about the way this mouse fits in my hand. It is phenomenal.

How does this compare to the Nightsword? I find that mouse to be mostly comfortable. But I dont love the way the Forward/back buttons are placed and press.It seems like there is a lot of overlap between these two mice?

Is this mouse a good choice for larger hands? right now i have the Scimitar and it feels just tiny like a laptop mouse. also the buttons are way to light, i cant even rest my fingers without constantly clicking the buttons.

Really wish they had kept the sniper button, its the only reason why I haven't upgraded my broken m65, had even purchased the dark core pro from newegg and when I noticed they had removed the sniper button I cancelled my order and got a refund...

Not sure if you're still reading the comments on this video, Prawn, but the amazon links you provided for the newer version of the mouse is not actually the newer version. It's the original Dark Core SE.

2 days ago my almost 4 years old Dark Core SE died of old age. I send it to store where I bought because I got extended warranty there. They said this mice is no longer avalaible so they can give me refund. 7th April 2020 (one and half year ago from now) this mice had refresh design and producer launched hers newer version called PRO. Well... I will not lie about my hidden desire to buy this newer version ^_^ Now I have good reason to buy Dark Core RGB Pro SE (also extended warranty). P.S. Thx for comparison. It helped me to understand differences between them. Left a like button! Cheers!

50 hours without the rgb. with the rgb it says 18 but im sure its less! i ahve the dark core se and it usually dies after 13-13:30 hours with rgb... i was considering buying the dark core pro se but alas i dont think the small differences between those 2 arent worth it!

@Iconoclast0w 3 жыл бұрын

The up to 50 hours is via bluetooth without the lights on, through the 2.4Ghz and lights on it's around that time - something that's often overlooked.. I realise you commented a year ago, haha

@snoopyslr 4 жыл бұрын

It's not worn out, it's surface is much smoother. The mouse wheel on the old one is horrible imo. It takes way too much pressure to press and scrolling is very rigid and clicky. The new one is much smoother and the button depresses effortlessly. This made the old design a big no-go for me. I use my mouse wheel button constantly.

The new version is pure garbage, lift the mouse and put it down like when you play a game, then you put it down a bit harder that normal without being harmfull to the mouse and the impact will activate left or right mouse button, and it happens every time, i had to return my first, the replacement ive got had the exact same problem. The old version was muuuuuch more stable. I dont know how many times i have teamkilled or teamdamaged my m8 with the plastic nightmare i used to love corsairs dark core SE, but the new one is made very very bad.
