Our Verdict

Razer Atheris

Corsair HARPOON RGB Wireless

The Corsair HARPOON RGB Wireless is a better gaming mouse than the Razer Atheris. The Corsair is lighter weight, feels better built, is rechargeable, has a wider adjustable CPI range, and lower click latency. On the other hand, the Razer has more programmable buttons. The Corsair is suitable for any hand size with a claw grip, while the Razer is best recommended for fingertip grip.
