Corsair Sabre v2 Pro – One Mouse, Three Versions

Introduction

In the mainstream gaming mouse scene, the weight race has mostly settled around 50-60 grams right now. That’s a comfortable weight range for most users, but obviously there are always FPS gamers who will want the lightest mouse they can get, and that’s something the big brands haven’t really been offering. Until Corsair stirred things up a few months ago with the release of the Sabre v2 Pro Ultralight, that is. With a weight of 36g, it’s a mouse that puts other big-brand mice to shame on the scales. Since then, the brand has expanded the Sabre v2 Pro line to include two more models, a carbon fiber unibody version (CF) and a magnesium version (MG).

In this article, we’ll go over the different versions, and tell you a bit more about the Sabre v2 Pro line of mice.

Shared Shape and Internals

Before we dive into what makes each version unique, it’s good to know what they all share.

In essence, all Sabre v2 Pro versions have the same internals. Same sensor (the Marksman S, which goes up to 8000Hz), same switches (Corsair Mechanicals), same web driver. They also all have the same shape (though the regular version is slightly smaller than the special editions) which was specifically designed to accommodate all three main grip styles (claw, palm, and fingertip) comfortably and without forcing your hand into any specific position.

This is great news: it means that you don’t need to worry about performance differences between the three versions. You can simply pick whichever version appeals to you most and start using it without having to consider differences in specs between versions.

What’s particularly nice with the Sabre v2 Pro is that Corsair went all out in making the mouse as modern as possible. There’s the super low weight, but there’s also the fact that you use a web driver to configure settings, lighting, etc. These are things that you won’t often see with traditional mouse brands, giving the Sabre v2 Pro a leg up on the competition.

Then, there’s also the price. The special editions are more expensive, but the base plastic model comes in at $99.99 MSRP. At the time of writing, it’s even on sale for $79.99. In a time where mainstream brands are pushing past the $150 mark on their flagship products, that’s pretty much a steal.

For almost half the price of what competitors are asking for their flagship products, you’re getting something that’s much lighter, includes a web driver, and features a top-tier sensor with a 99.6% resolution accuracy, designed for top-level competitive gameplay.

Designed for FPS Gaming

While the Sabre v2 Pro line works well across all genres, Corsair clearly had the competitive FPS player in mind when designing the mouse. The shape is a prime example of this. This is designed to support fast, reactive movements without locking your hand into a fixed grip, which is perfect for a wide variety of FPS games.

The weight story is where things get really interesting for FPS players, though. At 36 grams, the Ultralight model is great for low-resistance, high-speed motion that modern FPS games demand. Flicks feel effortless, and making micro-corrections to your aim mid-fight becomes that much more natural with a mouse that’s as light as the Sabre v2 Pro Ultralight.

The other models are a slight bit heavier, making them ideal for more tactical shooters, where anchoring your mouse on a certain axis is part of the core aiming experience.

The sensor obviously also delivers. The Marksman S, with its 8000Hz polling rate and 99.6% resolution accuracy, ensures that every aiming move you make, no matter how small, is registered precisely and instantly. In FPS games where a fraction of a millisecond can be the difference between a hit and a miss, that’s the sort of performance you need if you want to play at the top.

Corsair Sabre v2 Pro Ultralight – Ultralight Gaming

Plastic shell | 36g | $99.99 (MSRP)

The mouse that started it all is the Corsair Sabre v2 Pro Ultralight. This is a plastic mouse with an ultralight design, coming in at a mere 36 grams. That’s approximately 40% lighter than most mainstream gaming mice at this point in time.

One thing to note is that this is the smallest version of the three. The CF and MG are identical in size, and are both larger. So if you want to get yourself a very nimble and small mouse, this would probably be your best bet. In FPS games where there’s tons of flicking and quick mouse movements are required, this mouse can absolutely be an advantage. But obviously all of these factors are subjective; a mouse like this can absolutely be used for more methodical games as well.

Out of the three currently available models, this is the most basic one. It doesn’t use exotic materials, and it doesn’t have holes in the shell or anything like that. If you want a mouse that’s as light as possible without going for niche brands, this is a fantastic choice.

It’s got a few small flaws here and there, but the overall package is an attractive one, and if you’ve been looking for an ultra lightweight mouse to try out and you want to stick to bigger brands, then this is a great one to consider.

Corsair Sabre v2 Pro CF – Carbon Fiber Unibody

Full carbon unibody | 55g | $199.99

Carbon fiber is a difficult material to work with, so seeing a mouse with a carbon fiber unibody shell is definitely quite impressive. It’s not just for looks, either. The carbon fiber body makes for a mouse that’s extremely rigid and sturdy without becoming too cumbersome to move. At 55 grams, it’s noticeably heavier than the plastic version, but still below current mainstream market standards.

In terms of feel, the carbon fiber shell offers a grippy, lightly textured sensation that performs well under pretty much all conditions.

The Sabre v2 Pro CF is the line’s most premium offering. That’s why it comes with a luxurious carrying case, which is something that other brands might also want to consider adding for their flagship mice.

Due to the slightly larger size, the CF (and the MG) can feel a little bit more locked-in, making them great choices for people who want a little bit more stability. The weight of 55 grams (which is still very light, but heavier than the regular version) can also help with making the mouse feel that slight bit more anchored to the pad, so if you’re looking for a Sabre v2 Pro that feels a little bit more stable in the hand, this could be it.

The only reason to really consider this over other, more affordable top-tier gaming mice is the carbon fiber shell.

Corsair Sabre v2 Pro MG – Cool Magnesium Alloy Shell

Magnesium shell with cutouts | 55g | $149.99

In terms of looks, the Sabre v2 Pro MG is obviously the most eye-catching version. With its huge holes and magnesium shell, this is a mouse that will turn heads.

But, just like with the CF, the materials weren’t chosen just to look cool. Magnesium is extremely sturdy, for one, but it also feels quite different in-hand compared to traditional mouse shells. Heat dissipates more easily, and that combined with the large cutouts makes for a mouse that stays cooler during intense sessions than most other mice.

In terms of weight, it hits that same 55g on the scales as the Sabre v2 Pro CF, making it an alluring option for people who want a lightweight mouse with a more exotic twist. It’s also the same size as the CF, which means that this is a great option for players who like a slightly more stable and grounded feeling in their mice as opposed to the hyperlight and quick-feeling regular Sabre v2 Pro.

The Corsair Sabre v2 Pro MG is a really cool addition to Corsair’s lineup. The magnesium alloy shell with the huge holes offers a distinctively different in-hand feeling than what you get from most other mice.

Which One Is For You?

All three mice share the same core strengths: a versatile shape, a reliable sensor, and that super handy web-based driver. Where they differ is in feel, price, and what you are optimizing for.

If going as light as possible is your main priority, the original Sabre v2 Pro is the obvious answer. At 36 grams, it’s one of the lightest options you’ll find from a big mainstream brand. It also comes in well below the current market-standard asking price for flagship mice.

If you want a premium mouse with a shell that’s as rigid and sturdy as anything on the market, and you appreciate the distinctiveness of a full carbon fiber build, the CF is the best option.

And if you want something that feels very different in your hands, the MG is a very compelling option. It’s cooler to the touch, uniquely built, and comes with the kind of structural integrity that most mice can’t match.

Corsair has taken an interesting approach with the Sabre line, and it’s good to see a mainstream brand willing to experiment with materials and formats that go beyond the standard plastic shell. Whichever version you land on, the foundation is a solid one, so take your time to pick, and enjoy your new mouse!
