The Corsair GLAIVE PRO is a great wired gaming mouse. Its unique design has three swappable side panels that give you the choice of a thumb rest, or two different textures of grippy rubber. Its sensor performance is excellent, and it has a low enough click latency that even serious gamers shouldn't notice any delay. Unfortunately, its braided cable is rather stiff and retains kinks from packaging, and the sensor is a little inconsistent.
Our Verdict
The Corsair GLAIVE PRO is a good mouse for office or multimedia use. You can change its shape and feel by using the three different included side panels, so anyone should be able to get a comfortable grip. It's good for all hand sizes with claw grip, and only extra-large hands will likely have a tough time with palm grip. There are two programmable side buttons, which can help you navigate your work programs quickly, and the mouse feels very well-built.

- Well built and comfortable design.
- Swappable side panels allow you to customize the feel of the mouse.
- Stiff and rigid cable.

On the other hand, the Vegcoo is wireless and has a surprisingly low click latency.
The Corsair GLAIVE PRO is a better wired gaming mouse than the Havit HV-MS760. The Corsair has a lower click latency, a wider and more adjustable CPI range, and better companion software.
