Corsair Dark Core RGB SE + MM1000 Qi Review
Published by Luca Rocchi on 26.04.18Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Corsair Dark Core RGB SE is a solid product, and overall, we were impressed by the build quality and the comfortable shape. The build quality as well as the materials used are perfect. On the underside there are reasonably sized glide pads, which have been made from teflon. Due to the nine buttons the size of the Dark Core RGB SE is above the average and so is the weight with 130 grams. If you like heavier and larger mice this could be a model you might want to have a look at.
The MM1000 Wireless Charging Mouse Pad is a good product too but the current implementation isn't perfect. At some point in the future, we hope that the whole surface will be a charging plate that keeps the mouse battery at top at all times. Furthermore we don't like the sound that the PTFE feet make on the surface area. |

| Performance / Ergonomics | + | - | |
As usual, we used the gaming mouse in both 2D and 3D environments during our testing period. After a few days of using it with standard office applications we can say that, despite being a gaming mouse, the Dark Core RGB SE does well in any scenario. One reason for that is the software allowing you to change almost anything you like. Thanks to the sniper button, this rodent performs best when playing FPS games.

| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| The Dark Core RGB (SE) and MM1000 are part of Corsair "unplug and play" range. We believe that Corsair released a nice first generation of products, however while we like the mouse, we have some reservations about the mouse pad. The Corsair Dark Core RGB SE is a well-built mouse, which allows for a high level of customization. Apparently feature-packed and well-built products are never cheap and checking Geizhails, we find the Corsair Dark Core RGB SE listed for 99 Euro. If you don't like the Qi module, you can buy the not-SE version for 89 Euro. In our opinion both prices are overall good and match the features of the mouse.
Regarding the MM1000 we think that the price is a bit too steep. The Corsair MM1000 Qi costs almost 80 Euro and since the implementation isn't perfect, we can't give a good recommendation. However if the price and the charging spot aren't an issue for you, you might still buy this mouse pad since you will getting rid of another visible wire. This isn't the end of the world, but we know that there are enthusiast users that would remove every cable from their desks. |
