Corsair has unveiled the NIGHTSWORD v2 WIRELESS SD, a gaming mouse with a dedicated Stream Deck Launch Button built directly into the hardware.
Pressing the button opens an Elgato Virtual Stream Deck overlay on-screen, configured around whatever game or genre the user is playing. From there, eight programmable buttons on the mouse can trigger Virtual Stream Deck profiles for ability chains, inventory shortcuts, media controls, and more. The mouse also integrates with the Stream Deck app for native function mapping, and supports plugins for OBS, Discord, Spotify, and other apps through the Elgato Marketplace.
Built to Perform
On the hardware side, the NIGHTSWORD v2 WIRELESS SD runs at 8,000 Hz hyper-polling in both wired and wireless modes. It uses the CORSAIR MARKSMAN S sensor, which offers up to 33,000 DPI, 99.7% resolution accuracy, 750 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration. Optical switches have zero debounce delay and are rated for up to 100 million clicks.
Ergonomics, Battery, and Connectivity
The mouse has an ergonomic right-hand shape with a contoured thumb rest. Battery life is rated up to 170 hours via 2.4 GHz with RGB off, or up to 164 hours over Bluetooth. Connectivity options include 2.4 GHz SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C. Configuration is handled through CORSAIR Web Hub, which requires no software installation.
Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
