Corsair Katar Gaming Mouse Review

 

The Corsair Katar (\) is a mid-priced gaming mouse aimed at the basics of the FPS and MOBA market that does what it says on the box and nothing more.

Affordable and Compact

 

-High DPI for the price. -It's compact size makes it good for travel. I plan to hold on to it for this purpose. -The matte finish is good and rubber sides provide good grip. -Buttons have good feel for the most part.

-The small size is also a con when it comes to comfort. -The button below the scroll wheel is a single button so you can only cycles through different DPI settings. You can't choose to go up or down. This makes it pretty pointless unless you want only...

Corsair's KATAR Gaming Mouse.

 

As stated earlier, time will tell if this will last, the mouse's precision DPI tuning, and comfortable feeling hits right for me, and I have fairly large hands. I recommend and do not recommend for these reasons. Why buy this: Comfortable, High...

I've been using plenty of mouses that suites my needs for gaming, but all of them go out well within 6 months of usage or the durability / premium feeling fades. I've only used this mouse for a day and it meets and exceeds the expectations I've wanted...

The compatibility for Corsairs HID Software. When ever I do have a chance to macro or change the buttons, THIS DOES NOT DO IT WELL! The mouse is connected and being read properly within the software itself, changing the buttons and/or adding a macro...

Excellent for laptops.

 

Awesome, easy, light, and fast.

Small, but fits the entire hand well, (Medium sized grubbers on this here 180 pound ape) convenient easy to find red illuminated corsair logo (ahhh who care really anyways.) Soft smooth clickers that don't extend quite far enough but work well anyways....

Cord is not braided like my M65, this one addition would make the mouse elite. It's overall simplicity makes it incredibly fast and easy to use, but the cord is somewhat stiff and although it does not drag, it "kinks" and prefers to stay in its...

Works, sometimes...

 

Don't buy it unless you've got the money to potentially waste. This is why I've always tried staying away from mice with software. There's just too much that can wrong but unfortunately companies force us to buy mice like this in order to get the...

It's lasted me over 3 months so far in terms of hardware. Has just the buttons I need & nothing more. It's physical design works good for my hands too.

The software, I've been all over their forums & it seems no one is experiencing the same issue I am. Besides the fact that only 1 person on those forums even bothered to consult me. Every once in a while, sometimes multiple times a day the DPI button...

Works well; needs setting on Linux

 

On Linux (as of kernel 4.4rc1; affects 4.3 also), in order to avoid a USB error (timeout initializing reports) and delayed initialization, you'll need to add "usbhid.quirks=0x1B1C:0x1B22:0x20000000" to your kernel boot options (this skips the reports...

It's comfortable to use.

Can't tell the DPI level or which increment it is set at by looking at the mouse nor can you adjust the DPI level up or down with a physical button (can only cycle through in one direction).

Good mouse but slight issue with mine.

 

Overall this is a good mouse and I can live with the quirk mine has but others may take issue with it if they got it.

First Id like to say I bought this mouse because of it's simple design and sleek look along with its a Corsair and I have never had any issues with their products. Now onto the Pros: 1 - Great optical sensor, it is sharp and has limited wobble at...

Now for the Con and its only a minor nuisance to me but still... the scroll wheel and button could be looked at for slight improvement. When I scroll down the mouse has one spot in the rotation where it stutters back up forcing me to go through it...

Fantasic Entry Gaming Mouse

 

Originally, I was going to say this mouse was WAY too small for me and I would have trouble adjusting to this mouse. Feeling it in my hand right out of the box, I felt I was in for a bad time. I was completely wrong, after having swapped out my mouse...

The mouse feels sturdy, yet lightweight. You can tell the mouse was well thought out from materials, design, features, etc. to meet a decent price point. The left and right mouse buttons are easily pressed while still giving an audible click. Luckily...

The light is a tad bright, even in well lit room while looking at my monitor, it's hard to completely ignore the light from the mouse. Thankfully this can be turned off and isn't a problem, however if it is something you value it may be a bit off...

A Work of Art

 

I have a lot of hardware - toys to play with and I seldom get excited over a new product. I am a software developer but have been a hardware geek since the 8086 days. I have to tell you, I was impressed and excited about this mouse. I have bought...

Everything about this mouse is a work of art, starting with the box. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to components, the box and packaging is a good indication of the quality inside. This is a quality mouse. The mouse is...

I really don't care for lighted logo, but not really a con. It's not wireless, but then again, not a big deal. I have not found a wireless mouse with response and accuracy and only use wireless on my laptop. So again, not really a con unless your are...
