With so many of the best gaming mice these days aimed at competitive eSports and FPS gamers, it’s nice to see an MMO mouse — even if it’s one that’s trying to reinvent the button side-cluster. Corsair’s new Darkstar is a wireless MMO/MOBA gaming mouse with 15 programmable buttons, including a three-click tilt wheel and a unique six-button side cluster. And if that doesn’t seem like enough buttons for the average MMO/MOBA, it also features four programmable mouse-tilt gestures.
But all this button moving and tilting doesn’t come cheap: the Darkstar costs a whopping $169.99, which is more than most flagship gaming mice. (It’s not more than the Razer Naga V2 Pro, but that comes with three interchangeable side plates.) The Darkstar has a great sensor and it performs very well — and it’s also (relatively) lightweight, comfortable, and easy to maneuver. But $170?!
