Corsair Vengeance M60 Performance FPS Gaming Mouse 8 Button 5700DPI Laser Sensor

Comment:
my first "gaming" mouse, it seems pretty good, has a decent weight to it, grippy sides. I'm a fan of the programmable dpi

I used to use a Logitech G500 before it was starting to go faulty and I picked up the M60 to replace it. I'm happy to say that at the very least the M60 matches the G500 in performance. When dealing with such a high echelon of mouse-ware it's difficult to tell the difference in terms of performance but this certainly feels like a performer and satisfies all my gaming needs.The feel of the mouse has to be addressed. To people just looking at the product's pictures, you might think this is an uncomfortable mouse to hold, but you definitely get used to it after awhile. The gaps between the outer shell of the mouse are in areas where your hand isn't normally touching the mouse anyway so other than the initial feel you won't notice a thing when you hold it.The whole mouse has a heavy-duty feel to it, other than the edges of the outer shell where it doesn't connect to the aluminum base and appears to just be a thick layer of plastic hanging free-form(and you don't really feel this more than it just being a visual observation). It's heavy and feels really good in the hand. The mouse-wheel is the best wheel I've ever used. It's aluminum with a rubberized and grooved track, and the scroll notches are clearly defined when using it. Some mice have a button to disable the notches and have the wheel roll freely(the M60 does not) but I've never seen the point to that feature. The mouse buttons aren't overly sensitive so I never click them by accident... which is something I used to do frequently with my old Razer Diamondback(which drove me absolutely crazy). Perhaps the standout feature of the mouse is the big red sniper button located on the side of the mouse. Without installing the official drivers, the sniper button seems to use the lowest sensitivity of the three that are available to you... meaning it doesn't do anything if you already have it set to the lowest sensitivity setting. If you're at level 2 or 3 however, you can quickly toggle to level 1 sensitivity. Depending on how you hold the mouse, you'll either have access to this button quickly and easily or it'll be completely out of your reach. For me, the sniper button is far too high up the mouse to use, and personally I don't understand why the feature would be helpful to some. To be honest I hold the mouse crooked and my thumb is normally right under the sniper button with the top of it sometimes touching against the bottom edge of the sniper button. To re-orient the hand just for sniping would defeat the purpose of making things easier, and for me to learn a second sensitivity setting that you only really use some of the time instead of all of the time makes the feature pointless. It's just more difficult to aim with a sensitivity that you're not used to using. The only positive that I see to the feature is if you're trying to do super long range sniping on a target that isn't moving in Battlefield 3 or something, so you can precisely pick your spot to shoot. Oh, and the sniper label on the button wears out incredibly quickly. I don't even use the button and the edge of it where my thumb might brush against it is already starting to wear after a month of general use.The LED lighting on the mouse is kind of neat but depending on where your mouse is, it could be obtrusive. I personally have the mouse high on my desk. It's not level with the monitor obviously... but not far from it, and it's fairly close to the monitor. During the day the LED light bounces off the monitor very feintly and it's not very noticeable but with the lights off, I have a moving, glowing blue ball on the corner of my monitor that comes from the mouse. Thankfully because my monitor is so large it's not always noticeable but I thought it would be worth mentioning as it was something I was disappointed with right out of the starting gate.The other quirk I've had with the mouse is that upon plugging it in, all three sensitivity settings were far too sensitive for me. Obviously you can adjust this with your OS settings so for general computer operation, all it needs is a quick fine-tune in your Control Panel. I find the mouse to be overly sensitive in FPS games, and of course you can change sensitivity in the options. I've had to lower the previous settings on every FPS I've played with it so far, and some games don't even support the low setting that I'd like(Killing Floor is one of them), even when using the lowest sensitivity setting on the mouse. If you like ultra low sensitivity this might be a problem for you, but the official drivers and software could be the solution. I say could be the solution because I haven't used them. I've used whatever Windows installs when you plug it in and it works just fine. I'm mortified to try the Corsair software offered on their website after reports of locking up the mouse with it. Perhaps this has been fixed already, but it's not something I'd risk personally and thus can't comment on the mouse software itself.All in all, it's a very good mouse. It's easily one of the best I've used, right up there with the G500 and the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0, and I would definitely purchase it again even with it's quirks. After all, what mouse is perfect?

Have this mouse for 3 months now and i am very pleased with it. I don't have a huge hand and the shape of this mouse is perfect for me but i can see how for some the shape would not be ideal as there are sharp edges near the back of the mouse. Using the buttons near the wheel it's very easy to change sensitivity (handy if you need to change that but unnecessary if you always keep the same sensitivity). buttons are good quality and they don't have a loud click noise like my old mouse (it was a gigabyte but i forget what model). An other nice feature is the adjustable wights that you can remove if you like. only problem I had is the MIR with Corsair; sent everything correctly and they refused it. would of been a very good deal with MIR otherwise it's average.

After installing driver the mouse firmware crashed then almost bricked the mouse. Had to install a firmware updater to be able to use the mouse again, but the driver still crash the firmware.Never had answer after sending RMA support, so i can'tchange my DPI on my mouse, I must use the standard Microsoft driver.
