Corsair M65 PRO RGB FPS Gaming Mouse (12000 DPI Optical Sensor, Adjustable Weights, 8 Programmable Buttons, 3-Zone RGB Multi-Colour Backlighting, Xbox One Compatible) - Black

I initially began PC gaming with a Corsair M65 RGB PRO. It was a nice little mouse, however they had issues. Nothing glaring, every~1000 clicks the left mouse button would get stuck down and require an extra press to unstick. The scroll wheel was a little dodgy but it was a good mouse. This thing? The M65 Elite? A perfect upgrade. I've been using the thing for nearly two months now and I wouldn't go back. Neither of the issues with the predecessor have surface here. This mouse looks sleeker, feels a little better to use and via Corsairs iCUE software it has the ability to go up and down in DPI steps of 1 instead of steps of 100 like the PRO. Is it a major upgrade? No. Is it a worthwhile upgrade? Yes.If you have particularly short hands this mouse may be a little bit of a struggle to use. My partner hates it with her small hands. But for me with fairly big hands it's perfect. It fits really really well and no matter the grip (be it claw, palm etc) it effortlessly gets the job done.Along the sides the material used is different to the material used on the top of the mouse. I found it a little annoying at first as it is a little bit of a jarring texture however I believe this could be to help with gripping the mouse. After a few days-one week of using the mouse however I no longer noticed the difference in textures.In actual games it performs great. I combined it with a "HyperX HX-MPFS-S-XL FURY S Speed Edition Pro" mouse pad and it really does do one hell of a job. I play Overwatch primarily and tracking as well as flicking are an absolute breeze.All In all for the price it's a really solid piece of kit. Is it the best gaming mouse out there? Probably not. Is it the worst? Far from it. I'd recommend this mouse to anybody looking to get a pretty mouse without compromising on performance.

Having used this mouse now for nearly 6 months I feel that I can now write a proper review.Build Quality: The mouse is solid to hold, without being too heavy. The removable weights in the base are great for tweaking the feel of the mouse to suit your requirements. The braided cables is long enough to reach my PC that is under the desk on the other side. It is however one of the smaller mouses on the market, which may be something to consider if your hands are on the larger side.Lighting: The RGB lights are bright and clear. With plenty of options customise the colours to match anything. The software is however required to control the lights, and there is no ability to store the configurations to the mouse. So if you move to another PC all your settings are lost.Performance: I am a heavy PC gamer, mainly playing CSGO. I have had no issues with this mouse such as misclicks or tracking problems. The precision button of the thumb side is a nice addition, however it requires a fair amount of pressure to click, which causes the mouse to jerk slightly.Software: Corsair Utility Engine is a solid piece of software. It is relatively light on system resources, and it is easy to use and navigate. This makes setting up the mouse a breeze, and the option to switch between profiles with a click of the mouse makes life easier. Having previously used the Madcatz RATZ software, and the Roccat one, CUE is by far my favourite.I would recommend this product to anyone, whether they are looking for a gaming mouse, or just for a mouse they need to use for extended periods of time.

This is a beast of a mouse.Pros:-Great ergonomics which fits larger hands perfectly, and a nice meaty feel with adjustable weights. The base weight might be too heavy for some, but it's perfect with 1 of 3 weights in for me.-Rock solid build quality, as is a corsair standard. Not a hint of cheapness to this mouse!-Great value, delivering close to top end performance for half the price.-Software allows for lots of customization.-Unlike the M65 (non-pro edition) it has the sails logo and not the tramp stamp. Also has greater DPI.Cons:-The sniper button is dedicated, meaning you can't remap it to another function in games or programs. There may be a way around this, but I haven't taken the time to look into it. Also it's a bit garish (being a big red button) but you won't see it.-The top of the sail logo is not fully illuminated the same as the rest of it and so there's some color gradiation there from your chosen color to a slightly different shade. For example I have the light set to a light blue, but the top of the sail logo is on the purplish side, and noticeably so. I don't much mind as I find it visually interesting, but it's still not as it should be.Overall though, great buy and super happy with it.

Feels nice in the hand, albeit it is a little too small for my hands and they are just normal sized hands.Was not too many options to programme buttons which was disappointing.Have had this for 26 months and within the last month or so the left click button has started to wear down and is now double clicking on everything even if I click it once. It says it's rated for 50 million clicks, but I highly doubt that it's true. All in all, it's a good price and a good starting point if you are a Corsair nerd like me. I have however just purchased a new mouse from Red Dragon for a fraction of the price because I can't spend too much on a new one now.

I purchased wired because I can worry less. The sniper but is really useful and using is comfortable. The icue software is decent enough where I can map my hot keys and even create simple macros. For example, I could hot key the sniper to something useful in excel work related perhaps.For gaming. I use sniper actually for aiming, left click is fire, and right click is the "use object" hotkey. There are five other keys that can be hot-keyed. However, pushing the scroll button down isn't that reliable in tight situations and the down button isn't really that accessible for the index finger.
