Who each one is for

The Corsair Katar Pro XT suits budget-conscious esports players and ambidextrous claw or fingertip grip users, though it is the wrong buy for buyers who want wireless freedom and palm grip users wanting an ergonomic shape. Take the G-Wolves HTS Pro for fingertip-grip FPS players who specifically want a low-profile, flat shell shape. This mouse's design is purpose-built for that grip style. It is the wrong buy for palm or claw grip players. A taller-profile mouse like the Glorious Model O 2 Wired, covered elsewhere on this site, better suits those grip styles. Our rating of the Corsair Katar Pro XT (7/10): solid value wired mouse that covers the fundamentals without any standout feature.
