Corsair introduced the 'Sabre V2 Pro Wireless CF,' a carbon-fiber–shelled version of its ultralight Sabre V2 Pro, featuring a rigid composite body and extended battery life for competitive gamers. The CF model retained the Marksman S sensor and wireless dongle from the original and arrived as a higher-priced, durability-focused variant.
The mouse weighs 55 g, uses custom mechanical switches, supports 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired USB-C connections, and offers up to 120 hours of battery life. It ships with a carry case, replacement feet, grip stickers and a cable; its UPE skates and web-based configuration were carried over from the standard model.
For consumers, the Sabre V2 Pro CF targets players who prioritize structural rigidity and proven wireless sensor performance over minimal weight or value pricing. Its release highlights a niche premium trend in esports gear where materials and build quality justify premium positioning rather than new sensor tech.
