    Excellent mouse for grip and comfort and gaming!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 17, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Corsair Nightsword has a great shape to it. I have large hands and it fits nicely. The thumbrest design is great as it prevents your thumb from dragging on the mousepad. The thumbrest is concave in shape allowing you to lift and move the mouse very easily with minimal effort. The rubber on the opposite side where the pinky finger rest also provides a nice grip. The top of the mouse is more of a soft touch plastic with a treaded design for added grip. The left and right click buttons are a matte finish separate from the rest of the body which is nice. The button layout is pretty good for the most part. The DPI Sniper button is reachable but does not sit directly under the thumb which in this case I like so I do not accidentally press it. The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless has larger buttons making them easier to press although the ones on the Nightsword are still good. The scroll wheel feels nice with discernable steps. I really enjoy the fit and feel of this mouse better than the Ironclaw for FPS games. The RGB lighting has a very cool layout on this mouse. It is their best looking mouse. This mouse is very good for FPS games and has all the customizable weights you need. Overall I think Corsair has a winner with this mouse. Can't go wrong with it. Very comfortable and natural feel in the hand. Highly Recommended.

    well worth it so happy with this mouse

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 5, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Corsair makes the best quality gaming mice that i have ever owned.I have had so many mice over the years and when i found this mouse with all the led settings and the one main thing i wanted being the sniper button i bought this one and got another one just to have a back up.This is the best mouse i have ever owned. I did have a Ratte mouse for about 6 years and that was a mouse i dearly missed but i replaced it with this mouse and it did not disappoint at all and i am very picky when it comes to my mice. If you get this mouse you will be a happy camper. It uses ICUE software for the led color settings easy to use.

    Works great feels great.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 11, 2026

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Corsair products. The nightsword is an awesome mouse at a great price, has plenty of buttons but not too many and I love that I can change the weights. I've used the nightsword for the past 6 years as my gaming mouse and will continue to do so. I wish this mouse had a pinky rest but sadly it does not. Hopefully Corsair can make a model with the same buttons and also have a detachable pinky rest in the near future. The mouse is great but sometimes icue acts up and I have to open the app to get my key binds back but the mouse is worth having to do that.

    Okay

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 25, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was okay I am a beginning in the pc world and I was getting used to the movement and everything of pc but eventually a week in I felt I was just having problems trying to press the buttons of the mouse I just felt they were awkwardly positioned for gaming and then for gaming there's no way to lock the mouse into place so you will swap your weapon 4 times on accident I felt the mouse was too big and I have big hands 511 just felt I couldn't feel the two side right buttons the way I wanted to I got a g502 wireless instead and it is amazing.

    Great Replacement for a Mad Catz RAT 7

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 3, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a mouse to replace my aging Mad Catz RAT 7 (left in picture), and this Corsair Nightsword (right in picture) mouse is a great fit. The RAT 7 allowed for a more natural hand position due to the adjustable thumb rest and adjustable palm rest, whereas, the Nightsword is fixed positions for both sections. Overall the contour of the Nightsword allows me to comfortably rest my hand. The Nightsword has a much more accurate optical sensor over the laser sensor on the RAT, and the aiming button is much easier to press on the Nightsword over the RAT. Great mouse overall with non of the faults I had early on with the RAT 7.

    Perfect Upgrade for Comfort!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 20, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently picked up the Nightsword wired gaming mouse after my Logitech G903 gave out, and I couldn't be happier with the upgrade! The customization options are top-notch, especially with the precision. It is incredible, and the design makes it comfortable for long gaming sessions. If you're looking for a reliable, high-performance gaming mouse, the Nightsword is definitely worth it!

    Great Mouse for the Price

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 30, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a solid wired gaming mouse that has all the basic features of a modern, this is a great option. Corsair typically does not disappoint and this is no exception. good weight, surface friction, and a quality cord. My only complaint is the perforation gathers dirt easily and is a bit challenging to clean.
