INTRODUCTION

   One of the things all people who like PC gaming have in common is that we are always looking for the best gear to "push" our experience to new levels and as mentioned many times in the past why not give us the edge when playing online games with friends. Now the good thing about the gaming peripherals industry is that it has many established manufacturers so unlike CPUs, graphics cards and storage media consumers really have countless keyboards, mice and headsets to choose from ranging from basic and mid-end models aimed towards casual gamers up to the feature-rich, top quality and usually more expensive models used even by eSports professionals. Our friends over at Corsair made a name for themselves by manufacturing high-performance and quality RAM modules and SSDs and top-of-the-line PC cases but right now they are also among the most popular gaming peripherals manufacturers so since they just released the new M65 Pro RGB gaming mouse we just had to test it out.

   Founded in 1994, Corsair supplies high-performance products purchased primarily by PC gaming enthusiasts who build their own PCs or buy pre-assembled customized systems. The company's award-winning products include DDR3 and DDR4 memory upgrades, computer cases, PC cooling products, gaming headsets, gaming keyboards, gaming mice, power supply units, USB flash drives, solid-state drives and system monitoring and control devices.

   Although the original M65 RGB gaming mouse was released roughly two years ago it's now back and improved since in the brand new Pro version Corsair used the much faster and improved PWM336X optical sensor by Pixart (12.000DPI vs 8.200DPI). The PWM336X is almost identical to the PMW3366 optical sensor (40G max acceleration / 300IPS max speed) which we've seen used in the G303 Daedalus Apex by Logitech so we are well aware just how good it is and why Corsair chose to go with it. Now the reason as to why we said it's almost identical is because Pixart gave it a surface-calibration feature which means end users can calibrate it to track almost perfectly on any surface/mousepad. That aside the rest of the mouse remains pretty much the same so once again Corsair has used the same aluminum frame, RGB illumination, OMRON switches, sniper button, clickable scroll wheel and 8 programmable buttons in total.
