another day another Gaming Mouse I don't know if our audience are getting tired of these videos but this is pretty good it's pretty good guys meet the Corsair clave RGB King emails coursers targeting dismounts for gamers who value comfort and performance along with other features like RGB lighting and a few more that we'll discuss shortly priced at $70 the Glade competes head-to-head with Logitech G pro and the g4 3 along with a few other competitors like the rival 300 from steel series and the my onyx caster all of these mics have received countless positive reviews and fortunately we reviewed all of them so I'll leave a link to those videos in the description down below now I've been using a Glade RGB for the past few weeks so I'm just going to share my thoughts about it in with regards to gaming editing and other productive tasks that I do on a regular basis but before we go on a quick message from our sponsor what inside you 31 you should put a ring on yes how to make it hard to be efficient there will take ring high static pressure fans because your key is there if the ring for details and description below as always let's start with the design because it's actually just as important as the sensors performance I really like what Corsair is done with the clave there are a few aggressive elements throughout the body like the subtle insertion on the sides to showcase the LED lighting which by the way has received the RGB treatment and there are three zones that can be customized through the cue software the build quality is also excellent the chassis is mostly made out of hard plastic materials but it's put together really well and I'm always a fan of this soft touch silicon material that's similar to the g4 three and my havea or 7000 although it will wear out over time picking up oil stains coarser also sells an aluminum version of the glaive and the only difference is that it's a little bit heavier than the black model let's stock organics because that's Corsairs main selling point for the glade I have large hands and my palms were wrapped around the body comfortably for science comparison I have the g4 3 here and as you can see the glaive is a little bit taller but it doesn't affect which ability for the two primary buttons unfortunately the body isn't ambidextrous so left hand users are completely left out of the equation if you recall my review of the G scale MX 780 it featured interchangeable side grips that allowed users to adapt towards various grip styles the glaive sports a similar feature except it's only done on the left side out of the box they include two extra thumb grips that are shaped differently to better suit your style personally I ended up using this slim and textured grip since I constantly switch between claw and palm tight grip when I'm editing and gaming but your preference might vary anyways kudos to Coursera for including this feature in the first place the bottom comes well equipped with four Teflon pads and they did a great job gliding on my cloth gaming mouse pad the cable is rated but it's not as flexible as my AV or 7000 on a positive side they have reinforced it really well to the unit and it's also long enough to write behind your PC there are six programmable buttons that can be customized to the Kim software this includes primary left and right clicks the forward and backward buttons on the left side of the mouse the scroll wheel button and the DPI share button sitting right next to it speaking of the DPI shaped button Corsairs implemented and indicate at the top of the mouse for easier distinction and it cycles through five different steps the primary buttons exhibit great tactile feedback and the travel distance felt similar to my g43 plus they don't require a lot of force to actuate so that's awesome I was a little concerned with the forward and backward button placements because as you can see the slight gap between the buttons and the thumb grip made it awkward to access them so it took me a while to get used to that this is partly due to the interchangeable grip design but when you compare to the g43 which does not have that feature it was automatically a seamless experience sliding my thumb to click the respective buttons on the other hand the scroll button doesn't require a lot of pressure to press and the scroll steps are nicely defined and it's also well gripped if you care about that moving on to tracking performance Coursera's implemented a custom-designed optical sensor that boasts a sensitivity of up to 16,000 dpi honestly I really don't care about how high the sensor can go up - in fact if any of you guys use a mouse at that setting leave a comment down below because we need to have a serious chat coming back to the topic of performance I had an excellent time both gaming and editing on it I normally leave my DNS setting at 1600 plus course there's a cool feature of fine tuning settings down to one dpi I did play around with this option through the cue software and to be honest I didn't notice a huge difference with slight increments but it is a nice feature to have if you're really picky of your desired dpi setting after a few seconds of calibrating the sensor on the glade with my mouse pad I jumped into a quick battlefield 1 deathmatch session to bring out its true potential and the good news is that I was able to aim and target subjects really well acceleration was nowhere to be found and given how fast these switches are I was able to fire gunshots just as fast as my g4 3 so overall it's a really good sensor and I don't think you'll regret about it when you pick it up and the last thing to cover here is the drivers software you can easily modify settings and then save them directly to the mouse thanks to the on-board storage inclusion on the blade this is perfect for gamers on the go who may not have the advantage of bringing their own personal computer with them everywhere taking a look at the left-hand side of the window the tabs are nicely organized starting with the actions tab you can create customize and assign macros to any of these 6 buttons moving on to lighting effects tab you can cycle through the different lighting effects including rainbow color shift color pulse static and lighting link that essentially syncs lighting effects with other Corsaire peripherals if you happen to own one the detail shift tab is pretty straight forward and like I mentioned earlier the user has full control with regards to how far he or she can set the sensor sensitivity the performance tab lets you play around with the left off distance and pointer speed and finally the surface calibration tool allows you to calibrate the optical sensor inside the glade so if you're looking for a gaming mouse under the sub $70 price point you should definitely consider the glaive to be on the top of your list everything from the build quality to the design to the way how it feels in the hand to a sensor performance is excellent you know features like RGB lighting and the interchangeable side grips are great additions but you also can't cross out other competitors like the g4 3 from Logitech the cast refine my onyx and be much less expensive alternative the bible's 300 from steel series it's really hard to pick a winner from all of them because all of them are really good mice but I'd like to hear your thoughts about the course circulate what do you guys think about this males would you consider spending $70 on it or are they any cheap alternatives apart from the other competitors as I mentioned that you'd be interested in taking a look at let us know in the comments down below an ebow with hurricane x thank you so much for watching don't forget to subscribe for more similar content and we'll see you in the next one
