Overview

A wired MMO and MOBA gaming mouse with 17 programmable buttons, including a 12-button side panel with repositionable key sliders, aimed at players who bind large ability rotations to their mouse hand.

The defining feature here is the Key Slider mechanism, letting the 12-button side panel physically shift to fit different hand sizes and grips rather than staying in one fixed row. That is squarely built for MMO and MOBA players managing long ability bars, and less relevant to anyone doing simpler FPS or general desktop use. Corsair pairs it with a high-end PixArt sensor and Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks.

  • 17 fully programmable buttons
  • Repositionable 12-button Key Slider side panel
  • PixArt PMW3391 sensor, up to 18,000 DPI
  • 50 million click-rated Omron switches

Who it's for

Best for MMO or MOBA players who want to bind many abilities or macros directly to the mouse rather than the keyboard. Not the right tool for someone who only needs a handful of extra buttons or plays primarily fast-paced shooters.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • 17 programmable buttons for macro-heavy MMO and MOBA play
  • 12 side buttons physically reposition to fit different grips
  • High click-durability Omron switches rated 50 million clicks
  • High-precision PixArt sensor with 1 DPI adjustment
What to check first
  • Overkill for players who do not need extensive button macros
  • No customer review data available yet

Performance notes

The 12 side buttons sit on the Key Slider Control system, which physically repositions to fit different grip sizes rather than relying on software remapping alone. Tracking runs through a custom PixArt PMW3391 sensor at up to 18,000 DPI with 1 DPI adjustment steps, and the switches carry a 50 million click Omron rating. A braided cable and sturdy scroll wheel round out the durability claims for extended use.
