Introduction

There are not many companies that are as well known as Corsair. I think most of us have owned products by them at one point or another and love or hate them - they are one of the market leaders and are continuously pushing the industry forward. Whether you use their cases, power supplies, RAM, fans, keyboards, headsets, or mice, there is pretty much something for everyone.

The success of a company depends very much on having the right image and releasing products that suit a wide range of customers and their different budgets. When looking at mice, Corsair has managed to become one of the top brands for the high-end market, but there are very few Corsair mice under the $50 mark; in fact, off the top of my head, there is only the Katar. Corsair has now decided they had to expand their market by releasing something that will allow people to game with their peripherals without it breaking the bank. Meet the Harpoon, Corsair's latest addition to their range with a promise to perform well at a low price.

Specifications

Packaging

As with all other Corsair peripherals, there is the same design as is usually the case when it comes to the packaging, and why not? It works. It is a nice black box with splashes of yellow, which is not only attractive, but also creates brand awareness; you instantly know it to be a Corsair product without even looking at the name. On the front are also a nice image of the mouse and a mention of some of its core features.


The rear of the box displays a few more of the features the Corsair Harpoon RGB boasts. These include six fully programmable buttons, on the fly DPI switching, and textured rubber grips.


Inside the box are the mouse, an instruction booklet, and a warranty guide.
