Equipped with the latest in ultra-high precision 16,000 DPI optical sensor for pin-point tracking and accuracy, GLAIVE RGB has the performance to match its comfort. A custom PMW3367 gaming grade optical sensor, developed for CORSAIR in partnership with PixArt, allows gamers to set sensitivity anywhere between 100-16,000 DPI native resolution in single DPI steps for the ultimate in precision sensitivity tuning. Save up to five DPI settings, switch between them at a touch of a button and keep an eye on sensitivity with a dynamic DPI display – a glance is all it takes to know if GLAIVE RGB is set for high-speed twitch response or pixel-perfect accuracy. OMRON left and right mouse switches continue the commitment to performance, with ultra-fast response and industry-leading reliability rated to 50 million clicks, while an ultra-fast 1000Hz/1ms USB refresh rate ensures every move and click registers when it counts; instantly.
With three-zone programmable dynamic RGB lighting, GLAIVE RGB lights up the desktop as players light up the scoreboard. With logo, side bar and front lighting zones customizable in Corsair Utility Engine (CUE), choose from a host of amazing preset lighting profiles, download hundreds of user-created lighting schemes, or synchronize the lighting with any CORSAIR RGB keyboard to make the mouse your own. CUE also unlocks in-depth macro control, allowing any of GLAIVE RGB’s six buttons to be fully remapped, not just to mouse or keyboard commands, but to complex multi-function macros. What’s more, DPI, macros and lighting profiles are all stored in GLAIVE RGB’s onboard memory, making them accessible from any PC without the need to install software, so GLAIVE RGB is ready to play as soon as you are.
