FUN FACT: DPI can be adjusted in increments of 1.
In about 2013 I bought three e blue cobra juniors and they lasted me until now, bought a new one but sadly the Chinese company not only started using less quality components they stopped supplying Amazon, I figure it time to get something new and your review helped a lot thank you
1 year later after use, its same as new no problems at all shape is great and switches are the same when i first bought it. Pros; Lasts for a long time and is very comfortable. Cons; Sensor is not the best LOD is really really bad but it's fine the sensor will still register at the height of a pinky finger.
Good video and suprised to see escape from tarkov on the test

Corsair making a viable mouse finally
I have had this mouse for 6 months now. The scroll wheel started squeaking and im looking for a fix because it's difficult to open
ugh I don't know which mouse to choose! This one or the Razer Viper Mini. I have really small hands 5.9 inches length and 3.7 inches width
this mouse will be a great choice for the masses. I personally don't want a wired fps mouse but I'm sure that not everyone is willing to spend 100 bucks on one
I got the Katar pro wireless but it is worse than this one so i had to return it. It was the most comfortable mouse for me but its optic detects the surface even from a high distance which is the worst thing for me since I always lift the mouse while using.
@@borngymrat probably because it has a cheap sensor in it then. I got the dark core rgb SE and I find it to be awesome
guys help me in choosing between vipermini, deathadder v2 mini or this corsair katar pro?
is the pmw 3391 any good? ive heard its corsair's 3360 but idk if it will be good or not really need someone to help me out here
Bought this and the K55 keyboard combo for 40 dollars from Canada Computers. Bought 5 of these. Was a great deal
Nice ! Them feels like the same with classic Katar's shape grip?
@@undeadlycan yea it's around the same weight as a Corsair Sabre or Wireless Katar Elite. If you want a taller Corsair mouse that is heavier, the Corsair Scimitar, Harpoon and Ironclaw are more within that requirement.
i was about to buy this mouse but i whish it had rgb lights in the logo
Does Corsair Katana Pro Supports Aura Sync ??
Okay I end up buying the mouse so I'd like to add to something that no one talks about, the lift off distance while is not as bad as Razer Viper Mini (super high), but it's also not as good as most "top of the line" mouse. This one is like somewhere inbetween. So if you're like me who want the lowest lift off distance? Then I don't recommend getting this mouse. But if you don't care about lift off distance then don't worry about it.
Is it good for fps gaming? How fast the responses is?
@@jonybro1712 I don't play FPS myself since I get motion sick, but I've read reviews where people use this as their dedicated FPS mouse so I'd imagine it's pretty good. Even for other game this mouse tracks very well and accurate. Hope this helps. :)
@@FusionMusic thanks
Thanks pal, this really helped me out
I got this today for Christmas!!
Is it good for butterfly clicking and double clicking?
When the viper mini is on sale it the best mouse for around 30
nah I got it for 35$ but it ain't that good yeah it's the best in budget still but corsair katar pro is better in every way fam
@@darkmonarch_ true true
seen it for $20 before
@@yux8331 me too
@@darkmonarch_ so hows ur viper mini? would u recommend it?
Something that really turns me on about this mouse is not only that its cheap, but it also has a lifespan of 30 million L/R clicks, compared to Razer Viper Mini that has an approximate lifespan of 10 million L/R clicks.
should i get this mouse or razer deathadder essential
I would get kater because it has more dpi
How is the normal Katar PRO?? I was thinking of buying that coz XT version is not available here!!
normal one sucks in terms of cable and sensor when compared to the XT version
@@sandjvj911 BRUHHHHHH i got it!!
@@jackdanksterdawson112 the normal one? how you like it?
@@sandjvj911 So far so good hvnt tried the XT one!!
Mine doesnt light up can some one help me?
What's the lift off distance on this mouse? I know the Katar Pro Wireless had horrible lift off distance, I hope they fixed it in this version.
Katar Pro uses a 3335 sensor which is stated to have an horrible LOD (that's why I don't like that sensor). The Pro XT has a 3391 which has a lower LOD. Some people think I'm crazy bothering about sensor nowadays, however there is no way I would buy a 3335 sensor mouse again unless I'm liking the design
@@TheSilverFX LOL maybe I'm crazy but.... I bought the Katar Pro XT and still find it too high LOL. I would say it's about "medium" height but maybe I'm used to "low" height on most mouse with adjustable LOD. I guess I'm sticking to mouse with adjustable LOD. :P
@@FusionMusic I ordered it this morning, I'll get it later this week. It can't be really worse than the 3335's LOD I guess. Same goes with the 3359 in the Viper Mini which I don't like the LOD either. The best LOD I've seen comes from the Mountain Makalu 67, but at some point I would even say it's too low LOL
@@TheSilverFX LOL nice! I hope you enjoy it! I mean I'm just weird hahaha. But yes Viper Mini is baaaaaaaaad, I had to return the mouse because I can't handle the LOD. Roccat Kone Pure has high, normal, low, super low. I'm using low, super low is way too low basically the moment I lift the mouse by a tiny bit it stops tracking LOL. So yes I agree there is actually too low.
@@TheSilverFX Oh forgot to mention, I also think Corsair took too long to get this mouse out the door. I've been reviews of it since a long ago but somehow they didn't release the mouse until recently. But now it's just gonna get killed by the Orochi V2 train in my opinion lol.
is the red dpi default setting 400??
No it's 800 (you can change it of course)
Shape is totally different than G203. I have no idea why anyone would say it looks anything like a g203.
Because everything in this field is about hype, and you can't have hype without petty competition and baseless comparison for the sake of discrediting the brand that isn't the most hyped brand
how long is the cable ?
1.8 meters long
@@damaco78 METERS?!?
jus update my icue then i cant use my katar pro :( need help
Me too
@@sainteagle316 hi dude found the solution on reddit :)
I buied an harpoon one year ago
How is it so far?
Whats the difference between this and the original wired version
this _is_ the wired version
Don't care about features ill never use and have pay extra for. I just care about performance.
All the other mice look like transformers lol
that looks G203 with a corsair logo.
Kinda true
Better than g203
That looks an awful like that Logitech g203
lol copy of logitech g pro
feels way different to me in hand so no
same form isn't copy
and its not same btw
but at more than half the price
The sides are better than the g102
