The new Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro boasts a number of changes. Some of these are cosmetic. For example it has a different side button layout and different mouse wheel texture. It also has MORE RGB than the last model, a touch more DPI but less buttons. It also has USB-C instead of Micro USB.

It's worth noting that this video is comparing the SE version with the new standard version (because they didn't send me the SE) but you still can get a wireless charging model too!
