CORSAIR Glaive RGB Overview

hey guys it's Mashhud Hasan from frenzyweb360 and today i'm here with an overview of an exciting Corsair product.Corsair has recently released a mouse named Glaive,which is similar to Scimitar,and both of the mice have the same sensor named PMW3367.let's jump into it without further thinking.

Corsair Glaive is mainly created for FPS gamers and the size is quite as same as Razer's Deathadder but due to having a longer height and thicker chassis,Glaive actually looks bigger on empty eyes.shape is not going to be compatible for claw grippers unless having long fingers but it's quite good for palm grippers since it has a wide palm rest.
dimentions are given below:-
125.8 mm (L)
91.5 mm (W)
44.6 mm (H)

Glaive is featuring modular thumb rest varies from wide and rough to short and mushy skin.they are offering three types of thumb rests in total.this mouse has a total of 6 buttons(left & right,2 side buttons,a DPI button and a scroll wheel).there's a DPI indicator beside the DPI button.the braided cable is quite thick and protective but they aren't flexible enough,so mouse bungee is recommended. slip pads are really wide and can glide fast.

the micro controller unit is pretty impressive.this mouse produces 1kHz of polling rate which will let you have the extreme responsiveness of the cursor movement(according to DPI) getting determined from the physical movement.it has an MCU named LPC11U37F 501 which is a part of ARM Cortex MO family,is a 32-bit processor having 128kB of memory.

now let's talk about it's sensor.this mouse featuring PMW3367 sensor which is known as the Corsair version of 3360.according to RJN's testing,this sensor is really accurate.it's acceleration and deceleration can be controlled and programmed by the Glaive's software.this sensor can run upto 16k DPI but since it has a lower rate of native DPI,so recommended is to use it in lower DPI for avoiding pixel skipping and other issues.there's no sign of angle snapping and stuttering but there's an issue at it's LOD.this can also be controlled by the software and when the LOD rate is programmed higher,the mouse is spinning out at fast horizontal flicks.and at lower LOD,it's again working fine.i think this is a thing that Corsair should be concerned of.but overall the tracking speed is quite acceptable.this mouse also features surface calibration utility,so that the sensor gets adapted with any surfaces.since it's not a laser sensor and it's usually hard for opticals to cope up with non opaque surfaces,so this feature is definitely helpful.

so let's highlight and show up some of it's pros and cons below.

pros:-

• really good sensor
• slip pad is fit for fast gliding
• modular thumb rest
• higher polling rate
• shape is comfortable for most of the grippers
• has a DPI indicator
• pixel skipping,angle snapping,stuttering-these major issues aren't detected
• responsive left & right buttons 
• surface calibration is available

cons:-

• braided cable isn't flexible
• has an issue with the higher LOD rate
• weight is too much for FPS gamers (122g) 

so we can see that the amount of advantages are way more than disadvantages and this mouse is one of the best choices for those FPS gamers who like heavy mice.they should've added weight tuning feature here but they've already made it fit enough for being huge rival of Logitech G403,Mionix Castor and all other elite level mice out there having the similar type of sensor.
ok guys,that's it for today.thanks for reading and stick with us for more.
