TechRadar’s review of the Corsair Harpoon V2 Wireless lands in broadly favorable territory, presenting the gaming mouse as a strong value pick with one notable fit warning: larger-handed users may find it too small for comfortable long sessions.
In its two-minute review, TechRadar called the Harpoon V2 Wireless “a generally very solid choice” and “an easy recommendation” for people who want low-latency wireless gaming without paying premium-tier prices. The publication ultimately framed it as an especially good option for gamers with average-size or smaller hands.
The biggest caveat is physical size
That recommendation came with a clear qualifier. TechRadar reviewer Christian Guyton wrote that the mouse is “definitely on the smaller side for a gaming mouse,” and said the compact body changed how he had to hold it. As a palm-grip user, he wrote, his fingers sat too far forward in the most comfortable position, pushing him into more of a claw grip that became uncomfortable during longer sessions. In a later testing note, he added that extended use in that grip led to some minor hand cramp.
Guyton also stressed that this appeared to be a fit issue tied to his own hand size rather than a universal flaw. He described himself as 6'4" with unusually large hands and said the problem was unlikely to affect users with smaller hands or players who already prefer a claw grip.
Tri-mode connectivity and browser-based tuning stand out
Beyond that size complaint, TechRadar highlighted a feature set that punches above the mouse’s midrange pricing. The review says the Harpoon V2 Wireless supports tri-mode connectivity, meaning it can be used wired over USB-C as well as wirelessly over Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz USB dongle.
The review also points to Corsair’s software options as a selling point. Buttons can be remapped in Corsair iCue, but TechRadar gave particular praise to the company’s browser-based Web Hub, which the review says can handle DPI presets, RGB lighting and custom button macros without requiring a software install.
Price and a minor design annoyance
TechRadar lists the Harpoon V2 Wireless at $69.99, £64.99 and around AU$100, and says it is available now worldwide. Although the review notes that the model costs slightly more than its predecessor, it still describes the new version as very good value for money.
The other drawback TechRadar flagged was relatively minor. The USB dongle is stored underneath the mouse, but accessing it requires removing one of the rear PTFE skates. Guyton wrote that this design made the edge of the skate more likely to catch dust and fibers than the separate dongle compartments commonly used on other wireless mice.
Even with those criticisms, TechRadar’s overall verdict is that the Harpoon V2 Wireless is a durable, responsive and competitively priced gaming mouse that should suit most buyers — provided they do not need a larger shell.
