What customers like about Corsair Harpoon RGB Elite

  • Extremely affordable price point for a gaming mouse
  • Lightweight and nimble design, typically weighing around 85g-99g
  • Excellent for claw and fingertip grip styles
  • Features a comfortable contoured shape with rubber side grips
  • Full compatibility with Corsair iCUE software for remapping and RGB
  • High polling rate and low click latency for responsive gaming

What customers don't like about Corsair Harpoon RGB Elite

  • Too small for users with large hands, especially for palm grips
  • Sensor can be inconsistent and prone to 'spinning out' during fast flick movements
  • The wired version features a stiff, non-flexible plastic cable that can snag
  • Lack of onboard memory on some models, requiring software for settings
  • The DPI button is reportedly easy to click by accident
  • Some users report a 'cheap' feel to the top plastic and lateral scroll wheel movement

Verdict

The Corsair Harpoon RGB Elite (often referred to as the Harpoon RGB Pro) is a lightweight, right-handed gaming mouse specifically designed for FPS and MOBA players who prefer a claw grip. It features a high-precision 12,000 DPI optical sensor, six fully programmable buttons, and durable Omron switches rated for over 20 million clicks. Weighing only 85g, it includes a contoured shape with textured rubber side grips for enhanced control and a single-zone dynamic RGB lighting system customizable via Corsair iCUE software. Main pros include its highly affordable budget price point, extremely lightweight build, and comfortable ergonomic design for small to medium hands. However, notable cons include its relatively small size which may be uncomfortable for large-handed palm grip users, a somewhat stiff non-braided cable, and a sensor that some competitive users find less consistent than high-end alternatives.
