You can buy the Sabre V2 Pro for £89.99 RRP directly from Corsair HERE.

Pros:

• 36g weight feels almost unnoticeable when holding the mouse.
• Supports up to 8KHz polling on both wired and wireless mode.
• Comes with spare skates and grip tape in the box.
• Well priced when compared to other competitive, lightweight FPS mice from big brands.
• Web-based customisation with Corsair Web Hub works well.

Cons:

• Incredibly thin shell which flexes easily.
• Battery life drains quickly when running at maximum polling rate.
• Stock skates wear quite quickly.

KitGuru says: The Sabre V2 Pro is an excellent mouse for fps gaming. The stock skates and shell integrity let it down ever so slightly, though.
