The Sabre v2 Pro Wireless MG is configurable via Corsair's Web Hub, which is the brand's new(ish) online peripheral configuration tool. It's a fairly simple mouse, so there's not much to configure, but you can use Web Hub to remap the mouse's five programmable buttons (left/right click, thumb buttons, center scroll wheel click) to whatever you want — including macros (Web Hub has a macro recorder). You can also set the DPI steps to cycle through when you press the DPI button on the bottom of the mouse; you can turn off DPI steps you don't need (between 1 – 5).

The Sabre v2 Pro Wireless MG has three connectivity options — 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired (via USB-C). It comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable, but it's not a flexible, low-drag cable as you see with many mice; it's not really designed to be used as a wired mouse. The inclusion of Bluetooth is nice, since most mice like this don't even bother with it, since it's a feature most users will rarely (if ever) use. Still, not everyone is a hardcore professional competitive gamer, and sometimes people just want to use their mouse with other devices for non-gaming purposes without switching the dongle over every time.
Corsair rates the Sabre v2 Pro Wireless MG at 120 hours of battery life over a 2.4 GHz wireless connection with a 1,000 Hz polling rate, which is slightly better than you'll find on similar mice. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 gets around 95 hours, while the Asus ROG Harpe Ace Extreme gets 70 hours. Razer's DeathAdder V4 Pro gets up to 150 hours, so the Sabre v2 Pro Wireless MG isn't the longest-lived wireless mouse on the market — but it's on the higher side. This does, of course, drop to just 21 hours if you set the polling rate to 8,000 Hz.
The Corsair Sabre v2 Pro Wireless MG is $50 cheaper than the carbon fiber version, but it's still $150. That price is around where most premium flagship mice start, though prices have been creeping up recently (the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro launched at $170). If you're looking for a simple, ultra-lightweight wireless mouse that's not made of plastic, this isn't a bad choice, but it's very similar to, well, a lot of other mice. I didn't feel like the magnesium alloy shell was significantly more premium than similar plastic mice, so I'd probably stick with something plastic (and cheaper) — such as the regular Corsair Sabre v2 Pro .
