Description

Three Ways to Connect and Wireless Charging

The Corsair Dark Core RGB SE offers ultimate flexibility when it comes to connectivity. You can use the **sub-1ms 2.4 GHz wireless connection** for a lag-free gaming experience or connect via **Bluetooth** for added convenience. Alternatively, you can also use it in wired mode with the included USB cable while it charges. A standout feature of the SE version is its **Qi standard charging capability**, which allows for wireless charging on compatible Qi charging pads, such as the Corsair MM1000 mousepad.

Customizable Ergonomic Design

The Dark Core’s ergonomic design is specifically crafted for right-handed users, offering a comfortable shape that fits the palm. To further optimize your grip, it comes with **two interchangeable side grips**. The smaller grip is for a traditional hold, while the larger “wing-style” grip provides a wider thumb rest, a feature popular with palm-grip users that helps alleviate hand strain during long gaming sessions.

High-End Sensor and Programmable Buttons

At the heart of the mouse is a powerful **Pixart PMW3367 optical sensor** with a maximum resolution of 16,000 DPI. This sensor ensures pixel-perfect tracking accuracy, allowing for ultra-fast responses in competitive games. With **nine programmable buttons** and the powerful Corsair iCUE software, you can customize macros, key binds, and button assignments. The mouse also features three distinct RGB lighting zones that are fully personalizable to match your setup.
