Corsair didn't try to reinvent the mouse when it released the Katar Pro Wireless. It's a low frills rodent with a delightfully low MSRP—just $39.99 regularly. That's already a bargain for a gaming mouse, but it's even cheaper at Amazon right now, where it can be had for only $27.99.
Paying so little almost feels like highway robbery for a wireless mouse from a recognizable brand. This is a decent mouse, too. It doesn't feel like a budget offering, despite being priced as one, even before the discount. In fact, we consider this the best wireless gaming mouse for buyers on a budget.
Even though it's priced on the lower end of gaming mice, the Katar Pro Wireless still serves up some flash. There's a small amount of RGB lighting, a dedicated DPI toggle (which is one of half a dozen programmable buttons), it has a respectable 10,000 DPI sensor (Pixart PMW3325), and a 1,000Hz polling rate.
Wireless connectivity is served up from a 2.4GHz dongle that plugs into a USB port, or you can sacrifice latency for a Bluetooth connection. According to Corsair, you can coax up to 135 hours of continuous use from a single AA battery, after which you'll need to swap it out (you'll want to keep a few AA batteries on hand).
This is a relatively lightweight mouse too, at just 96 grams. It has an ambidextrous shape, though the thumb buttons are on the left side, so it's yet another mouse designed for right-handed gamers only.
Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a wireless gaming mouse that doesn't cost a lot.
