Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS RGB MMO Gaming Mouse — Black
The Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS is built for MMO, MOBA, RTS, and action-heavy gaming with 15 programmable buttons and a unique six-button cluster positioned around the thumb. A textured central grip and large right-handed shape keep important commands accessible during long sessions.
The CORSAIR MARKSMAN 26K optical sensor, QUICKSTRIKE optical switches, sub-1ms SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, Bluetooth, USB-C charge-and-play operation, seven-zone RGB, Sensor Fusion tilt gestures, and five onboard profiles deliver precise control with extensive Corsair iCUE customization.
The MARKSMAN optical sensor provides fine sensitivity control and precise high-speed tracking.
QUICKSTRIKE primary buttons use durable optical switches engineered for rapid actuation.
Extended battery life supports long gaming, productivity, and everyday-computing sessions.
Unique Six-Button Thumb Cluster
Six programmable controls orbit the thumb around a textured central resting area, reducing unnecessary hand movement while keeping critical commands separated and accessible.
Six Dedicated Side Buttons
Assign attacks, abilities, inventory commands, communication tools, groups, or macros to the thumb cluster.
Central Textured Thumb Grip
A dedicated resting point helps support the thumb without placing constant pressure on a button.
Radial Button Placement
Controls surround the thumb rather than forming a dense rectangular keypad, helping each position feel distinct.
MMO, MOBA, and RTS Focus
The layout is especially useful for games with large command sets, multiple abilities, or frequent group selection.
Fifteen Fully Programmable Buttons
Customize every available control through Corsair iCUE, including wheel tilt, profiles, DPI stages, side commands, and advanced macro actions.
Programmable Wheel Tilt
Move the scroll wheel left or right to access two additional commands without leaving the primary grip.
Profile and DPI Controls
Dedicated buttons make it easy to move between onboard profiles and sensitivity stages.
Application-Specific Remapping
Create different control layouts for games, creative software, communication tools, or everyday work.
Advanced Macros
Record supported key sequences, timing, remaps, and repeated actions through Corsair iCUE.
SLIPSTREAM Wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C
Choose sub-1ms 2.4GHz performance for gaming, Bluetooth for convenient compatible-device use and longer runtime, or USB-C for charging and direct wired operation.
Sub-1ms SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS
The included receiver provides a low-latency connection designed for responsive gaming.
Bluetooth 4.0 or Later
Connect to compatible devices without occupying the dedicated SLIPSTREAM receiver.
USB-C Charge and Play
Continue using the mouse while charging through the included braided cable.
Integrated Receiver Storage
Store the compact USB receiver beneath the mouse during transport or Bluetooth use.
CORSAIR MARKSMAN 26,000 DPI Optical Sensor
High-resolution tracking, rapid movement support, and precise sensitivity control help maintain deliberate movement across competitive games, large displays, and multi-monitor workspaces.
Up to 26,000 DPI
Choose low sensitivity for controlled sweeps or higher sensitivity for rapid movement and high-resolution displays.
1 DPI Adjustment through iCUE
Set exact sensitivity values rather than relying only on broad preset jumps.
Up to 650 IPS
High tracking speed supports fast flicks and decisive movements across suitable surfaces.
Up to 50G Acceleration
The sensor is engineered to remain responsive during sudden changes in direction.
Sensor Fusion with Low-Lift-Off and Tilt Gestures
Integrated motion sensing helps control cursor behaviour when repositioning the mouse and can transform physical tilting into additional programmable actions.
Low-Lift-Off Control
Help keep the cursor steady while lifting and repositioning the mouse during broad movement.
Programmable Tilt Gestures
Assign supported commands to intentional movement or tilt actions through Corsair iCUE.
Expanded Input Options
Motion-based commands add another layer of control beyond the fifteen physical buttons.
Configurable Sensitivity
Tune supported motion features according to the game, desk, surface, and preferred movement style.
QUICKSTRIKE Buttons with 100-Million-Click Optical Switches
The zero-gap primary-button design and light-based actuation reduce unnecessary travel and eliminate traditional mechanical debounce delay.
Zero-Gap QUICKSTRIKE Design
The primary button plates sit directly against their switches for minimal pre-travel.
Optical Actuation
Primary clicks are detected using light rather than traditional metal-contact switching.
100 Million Click Rating
The left and right optical switches are engineered for demanding long-term gaming use.
1,000Hz Hyper-Polling
The mouse can report movement and button activity to a compatible system up to 1,000 times per second.
Large Right-Handed Shape for Palm and Claw Grip
The asymmetric chassis supports the hand around a comfortable thumb position while keeping the dense control layout accessible during long gaming and productivity sessions.
Right-Handed Ergonomics
The sculpted shell follows the natural resting position of the right hand.
Designed for Large Hands
Corsair classifies the mouse for larger hands, making fit an important purchase consideration.
Palm and Claw Support
The long body and raised back can support full palm contact or a more arched claw position.
Approximately 96g
The mouse remains relatively agile despite its fifteen controls, wireless battery, and large ergonomic body.
100% PTFE Glide Pads and Seven-Zone RGB
Low-friction feet help the mouse move smoothly, while multiple lighting zones add extensive visual customization to the black chassis.
100% PTFE Feet
Ultra-low-friction pads support smooth movement across compatible gaming surfaces.
Seven RGB Zones
Customize multiple independent areas across the mouse through Corsair iCUE.
Dynamic Lighting Effects
Create static colours, gradients, reactive effects, and supported animated patterns.
iCUE Lighting Synchronization
Coordinate compatible effects with Corsair keyboards, headsets, memory, cooling, and other RGB devices.
