On a 27-inch, 1440p display, I didn’t need the highest DPI setting. The rubber side grips let you keep a firm grasp during the action without the worry of slippage.īeing able to change DPI settings on the fly enhanced the experience on both games. The buttons are well laid out and easy to click, and each click offers a satisfying feel that’s neither too stiff nor too loose. It glided smoothly, whether I was using it on my mouse pad or directly on top my desk. On both games, the Harpoon felt accurate and responsive. To test the Corsair Harpoon RGB, I fired up Battlefield 3 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. The DPI lighting indicator would be more useful, however, if the scroll wheel had lighting because in order to see the logo flash the color of the DPI setting you selected, you must lift your palm to peek at it. When you switch to a DPI setting, it will flash to its color for a few seconds, which helps you keep track of which DPI setting you are using. And if you’ll return to the DPI page with me for a moment, I should note that you can set a color for each of the DPI settings. On the Lighting Effects page, you can select the color and pattern of the LED lights for the Corsair logo. With the Harpoon RGB, however, gamers get the best of both DPI worlds because it has a separate sniper setting. I don’t want to have to cycle through extra DPI settings when I’m switching from shotgun to sniper or vice versa. On a mouse like the Harpoon with only one button to cycle through the DPI settings (as opposed to two buttons that would let you move up or down through a range), I usually disable all but two DPI settings for a FPS: a low DPI setting for controlling a sniper scope and a higher setting for general action, whether I’m wielding a shotgun or knife. The CUE app lets you enable up to five DPI settings that range from 250 DPI to 6,000 DPI, which is an average range for a budget gaming mouse.

With it you can tweak the DPI settings and RGB lighting effects and set macros and other actions.

The Harpoon RGB works without any additional software or drivers, but it’s worth your time to install the free Corsair Utility Engine (CUE).

It has onboard memory so you can take your settings from one PC to another, so you can be plugged in and gaming in no-time.

One of the features most budget mice sacrifice to hit a low price is by ditching onboard memory, but not so with the Harpoon RGB. The only lighting you get with the Harpoon RGB is under your palm with the Corsair logo, so you won’t be able to enjoy it when you’re using it. Unlike other budget mice, the scroll wheel lacks lighting. At the very least it probably makes dislodging any dirt, crumbs or grime from the scroll wheel region a bit easier. It doesn’t have any effect on the mouse’s performance or click-ability it just looks a bit different is all.

Instead, there is an open gap between the right-and-left mouse buttons. The Harpoon RGB has a design quirk in that the mouse does not close around the scroll wheel.
