Last year, I checked out the regular, non-carbon fibre version of the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro and loved it. At just 36 g and with a pretty sturdy, solid body, it brought a true leap forward for ultralight mouse design. And the best part? It's priced cheaper than most other premium ultralight competition at $100. Then Corsair decided to release heavier carbon fibre and magnesium versions. The latter is $50 extra at $150, and the CF version I have here is $100 extra at an eye-watering $200. That makes this the most expensive mouse I've ever laid my hands on.So, surely Corsair must have packed in something revolutionary here to justify this price tag, right? After all, the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, with its bleeding-edge haptic-inductive clicks, costs $20 less than this.Nope, sadly not. Apart from a bit of extra battery life, the justification here is the carbon fibre shell. According to Corsair, "this wonder material boasts an amazing power to weight ratio, giving your mouse great strength without tipping the scales." Except it clearly does tip the scales, because this mouse is 19 g heavier than the non-CF version, and I don't think all of that comes down to the battery.
