If you’re looking for a great gaming mouse, without spending a huge amount of money, then the Corsair Gaming Sabre certainly fits the bill. Priced at just £40 from Overclockers UK, the Sabre is exceptional value for money and even comes backed up by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Overview

After playing around with the Sabre for a few days, it’s easy to see why Corsair Gaming mice are some of the most popular on the market today. The Sabre sets a great example of how affordable doesn’t have to mean low quality. The build quality on this mouse is rock solid, with a good choice of plastics for the housing, a nice matte finish with a light grip, braided cable, as well as a premium grade sensor and switches; all of which give it a premium look and feel.

The build quality also leads into great performance, as the high-end sensor and switches performed flawlessly in gaming and work tasks. The buttons feel snappy and responsive, the scroll wheel has a nice tactile feel to it for added accuracy and the sensor delivered the kind of results that is sure to keep the eSports crowd more than happy.

To add further value for money, we’ve got nice bonus features such as fully programmable buttons, easy to use desktop software, onboard memory so you can take all your profiles with you, huge PTFE feet for excellent glide, customisable RGB lighting and the nimble 100g total weight of the mouse. All these features, with flawless performance at this price range is something you would be crazy to ignore, a great gaming/work mouse for any desktop user.
