KATAR PRO XT Wired Ultra-Light FPS Gaming Mouse – Black

I honestly feel like the advertising kind of undersold how good it is for a $30 mouse. It's a little smaller in height and width than my old G403 (which I personally like) but being a fingertip grip player it is actually a decent amount more comfortable than the G403 was and the light weight is really nice. The cord is really loose/light to the feel which might make it less durable over the long-term but makes it easier to maneuver compared to a stiffer cord. The best thing about this mouse for me though is the iCUE software for it, you can disable the side buttons (forward/back button) functionality completely or reassign them. Personally a big deal for me because I would constantly hit them accidently on my old mouse & caused a bunch of issues. The DPI buttons 3 stages can be custom set and disabled to just have 1, 2, or 3 stages which is nice since I prefer a higher DPI for gaming vs scrolling the web. Lastly it can be calibrated to the surface you use it on (I don't use mouse pads) so that it works more efficiently on that surface. Only thing I can say at this point that I think they could've done better on would be some rubber on the sides for a softer grip feel. Overall the mouse texture doesn't feel bad but definitely something I'd be willing to pay a little more money for. (will update later on with durability/longevity as any issues arise)

I planned to use this for office-use. Only reason I ended up returning it is because the OS I'm using isn't compatible, rendering the mouse useless (it turns on but doesn't function). Otherwise, great mouse with great placement for the RGB (also not excessive). With the software, it becomes an easily-visible indicator for your DPI switching. Accuracy of mouse is great (theoretically)--equipped with PMW3391 (I believe it's a modified PMW3389), it is either close to or better than the old-time PMW3360. In real-life testing, it was accurate for my purposes. Didn't test LOD or any other gamer-centric elements. Shape resembles Logitech G Pro wired (or G102/G203/G304/G305) but there's a steeper "hump" on the back--not as comfortable for my small-ish hands vs. the G305 variants. Decently-sized with a good finish that is pretty comfortable for me (I prefer rough-surface). The button switches I personally think is a bit on the lighter side, as it felt quite effortless to click (this might be a +/- to someone). Side-buttons are even more so. Nevertheless not a big detriment. Glide is sufficient but I'm not that great at discerning this aspect of a mouse. The cable cord was quite heavy but this was a non-issue for me. The USB-connection however, true to Corsair's fashion, has a big housing which in my opinion should be minimized to allow greater compatibility.

The Corsair Katar Pro XT is a lightweight and versatile gaming mouse that offers exceptional performance and precision. Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding gamers, this mouse is packed with impressive features that make it a popular choice in the gaming world. One of the standout features of the Katar Pro XT is its ambidextrous design and compact shape. This makes it suitable for both left and right handed gamers, and also makes it ideal for those who prefer a smaller and lighter mouse. Its weight of only 73 grams allows a fast and agile movement, which is essential for games that require a high response speed. The high precision PixArt PMW3391 optical sensor is another of the outstanding features of the Katar Pro XT. With an adjustable resolution of up to 18,000 DPI, this mouse offers precise tracking and quick response on any surface. This allows for optimal control during games and a more immersive gaming experience. The Katar Pro XT also offers versatile customization. With Corsair iCUE software, users can adjust RGB lighting and program macros to suit their individual preferences. Additionally, it features six programmable buttons that can be configured for game-specific shortcuts or commands. Durability and build quality are highlights of the Katar Pro XT. With high-quality Omron switches and a robust build, this mouse is built to withstand heavy use and last a long time.

This was my first "gamer" mouse. Its really light in compare to your every day office mouse or well not "gamer" mouses. I love the lowkey RGB at the mouse wheel. iCUE (the software in which you can set up RGB and syncing with other Corsair devices for RGB modes, etc.) its an overall 8/10 it can be bothersome but most of the time you will forget it even exists. Setting different DPI settings and switching them with a button is extremely powerful and also de side buttons made my experience overall when gaming and using my pc. I do recommend side buttons if you havent tried them before. The ONLY thing I got to complain is the fact that after a while. 2 years tops the mouse wheel is squeaky. ITs horrible, if you scroll down its going to squeak like a mf. Also It has started jumping a bit (scrolling up and down) because of presence of maybe dust (that might actually be my environment but still). The longevity of the scroll wheel might be an issue for everyone. I am rating it 4/5 because for a starter gamer mouse it gives you all the perks and solid RGB and DPI settings and actually being lightweight. Powerful mouse but I really hate and worry about that squeaky mouse wheel everyday...

Good build quality. Nice sleeved cable. Very lightweight mouse for its size. Great value for the price. Can't speak to the longevity yet, but I've had good experiences with Corsair hardware in the past. I don't need my mouse to do a whole lot of hoopla, I just need it to do simple mouse things. I'm moving to this mouse after using a Razer Abyssus for over 7 years straight, mostly because of the price, similar dimensions, and similar weight. Very good drop in replacement, it feels almost exactly the same. I prefer the shape of the abyssus slightly for the palm bump, it's all the way back towards the palm on the Abyssus whereas this mouse has it located near the center. Not a deal-breaker at all, just really the only thing I like less about this mouse vs. the abyssus, and that's just personal taste. Corsair's iCUE software is very well put together compared to other lighting software I've seen. It was also very easy for me to just set the light to a static color (or off entirely) and leave it, but there are some very programmable options in there if you're into that sort of thing. If you have other Corsair (or possibly other compatible brands?) products with RGB, you should be able to sync it all there.

Pros: Accurate and comfortable for a small mouse. Almost three years old and still functional. Cons: Scroll wheel has always been sketchy and now has started making an awful, high-pitched squeak when scrolling. It's long-standing issue has been that it seems to struggle to comprehend long, continuous scrolls. It will "miss" many pulses on the scroll and will reverse itself on some pulses too. Expected better from a Corsair but should have maybe had lowered expectations given the price.

May 24, 2024 - I am a long time customer and fan of Corsair and all of the products I have purchased from them over the decades. A number of well know companies offer mice, but the Corsair mice that I have purchased have been made of quality materials, worked perfectly, and lasted for years. I needed a mouse for basic computer work. The Corsair Katar Pro XT Ultra-Light Gaming Mouse is exactly what I needed. Simple and inexpensive. I have Corsair mice that offer more functions and are a more expensive.

I really liked this mouse for the first 11 months of ownership, until the scrollwheel failed to read up and down scrolls correctly. I went through the RMA process with Corsair, and was issued a seemingly new mouse, new serial, new inserts and everything. Out of the box, the middle click on the scroll wheel is poor. It jams in the down position consistently. iCUE is Corsairs mandatory mouse software, allows you to control settings and lighting effects. It simply does not work. Fails to launch with my OS consistently, so my sensitivity is wrong until I reboot. The lighting profiles don't work at all, the mouse is capable of RBG but only ever displays a solid red color. The lack of functionality means that the features advertised to you will not work or be available. Please beware when buying this product that the configuration software does not work as advertised.

Top notch gaming mouse for its price. Don't listen to the 1 star reviews on Amazon and some popular YouTubers. They have large hands but for people with less than 20 cm hands, this is a super comfortable mouse even though its kind of weird shape compared to other mice out there. And people who like Logitech g305 may not like it, just like how I don't like the g305. Both are considered egg shaped but they are quite different since katar pro XT narrows at the rear which is amazing and g305 flares out which is good for large hands. Also at this price this mouse is built solid while staying fairly light and sensor is top notch and feels better than the gpw which I also own. Also the shape is quite good for gripping and can be used to pull down on the recoil for firing in games like csgo. I performed awesome in games straight out of the box without getting used to it as long as you set the dpi correct. I also owned the wireless version which is the same shape and similar weight but sensor is a step down like a pmw3325. So it's not bad but ended up returning it. It seems like this mouse was built for fps shooters for a budget while maintaining most of the qualities of a good mouse.

Not happy with this mouse, shape is uncomfortable and weight not right. I should've just purchased the Logitech razer which feels great.

El mejor mouse que he usado. Relación calidad/precio es la mejor, ligero, se ajusta perfecto a mi mano (ch), se desliza fácilmente y es muy preciso. Lo uso principalmente para el trabajo y prácticamente me quitó las molestias por síndrome de túnel carpiano. Intenté con otros mouse más sencillos, otro que cuesta el doble con más funciones pero ninguno le gana a éste.
