Corsair, world leader in the manufacture of thermal components, heatsinks, boxes and peripherals. He has sent us one of the best quality / price mice on the market. This is the new for ambidextrous Corsair Katar, which launched in early November. Among its benefits we find a total of 4 programmable buttons, 8000 DPI and a very light weight.

We thank Corsair Spain for trusting the product for its analysis.

Technical characteristics Corsair Katar

Corsair Katar

Corsair gives us a gala presentation with a minimalist design in a compact cardboard box. Use the yellow and black colors on your cover. On the back we have all the most important features in five different languages and an image of "Helios" indicating that you use this mouse.

Once we open the box we find:

Corsair Katar Mouse Documentation Instruction Manual

The design of the Corair Katar is simply perfect for any hand and type of user, this is due to its ambidextrous configuration. It has a size of 11.07 x 6.39 x 3.8 cm and a very light weight of 85 grams. Its entire structure is made of rubber and rubber that prevent the mouse from slipping in long sessions.

As we see we have a total of 4 buttons that are customizable via Corsair's proprietary software, which we will talk about later. Emphasize that ergonomics and lateral movements are a joy.

At the top we have a top quality scroll wheel. A little further down two customizable buttons that allow us to adjust the mouse speed (DPI) with the serial profiles.

The mouse has an optical sensor that does not need acceleration. The sensor has a power of up to 8000 DPI, which makes it the ideal friend for dual monitor systems or a single monitor with high resolution (2K or 4K).

The cable has a length of more than 2 meters, which allows us to connect it over a long distance. Its connection is USB 2.0. We leave you a view of how the mouse looks on our desktop:

Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software

We must go to the official website of the Corsair Katar in order to download its software. Its installation is as simple as any in Windows (All next), it does not have any difficulty.

The Corsair Katar allows us to create several profiles, in them we can customize the four available buttons, the LED lighting (Pulse Mode or fixed mode), the frequency of the DPI and its performance.

It also allows us to create macros, more comprehensively adjust lighting and general device options. Nothing to envy a high-end mouse.

Experience and final words

The Corsair Katar is a compact, lightweight mouse with top-of-the-range precision. Its ambidextrous design is ideal for all types of users and after long use we realize that it is one of the best mice we have tested so far.

Among its most important characteristics we must highlight its weight of 85 grams, its speed of 8000 DPI with optical sensor, 4 programmable buttons, rubber and plastic body and a red LED lighting system.

We would also like to mention the incorporation of the CUE software, which It allows us to customize and adjust any parameter of the mouse: lighting, behavior with certain programs, speed of frequency and create profiles at will. The only downside we can find is that it would lack a couple of more buttons, for navigation.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Corsair Capellix LED: Technology that improves the brightness of RGB LEDs

It is currently in online stores for a price of 40 euros and we believe that it will be one of the benchmarks in the sales list, due to its low price and its great possibilities.
