welcome to my much demanded unboxing of the Vengeance M60 so this actually is
not my first encounter with Corsair's new gaming series mice although it is
one of my first encounters with what looks like a horrible difficult to
openen package that actually oh I broke
it is not difficult to open or horrible
at all so Corsair has in their Infinite
Wisdom figured out a way to do a clamshell plastic
package where the product just comes out
like that like that's easier than like removing Darth Vader's mask that's
awesome incredible okay so now okay I'm
I'm done talking about how great the packaging is now let's move on to the
product so this is Corsair's first real entry into the uh gaming peripheral well
okay I shouldn't say it's their first real entry into the gaming peripheral space because they do have their their
very successful headsets and very successful speakers under their belts
already but this is their first crack at
a human interface device so a mouse or keyboard so the M60 k60 M90 and k90 are
two series of products so the 60 series products are more Geared for FPS and a
little bit more about why the M60 is for FPS and the 90 series are more for MMO
now in terms of some of the specs they're quite similar so both the m M60
which we have here and the K and the M90
have a full unibody aluminum construction so you can see it does add
some weight to the mouse but personally I prefer a heavier Mouse anyway I use a
fully loaded G9 with all of the weight uh the weight packs in it at work and I
really do like that um so it does make it a little bit heavy but not
unreasonably so and then you also have adjustable weights here on the bottom so
you can actually adjust not only the overall weight of the mouse but also
where the weight is located in the mouse uh so they both have the same 5700 DPI
sensor unibody design they've also got
the same overall kind of ergonomic design and feel so the difference is
that the M90 has a ton of buttons over here whereas the k60 goes for more of a
um more of an optimized sort of layout you don't need a ton of buttons for FPS
but what you do need is your back and forward whether you want to bind it to
grenade throwing or whatever else the case may be you need your sensitivity
adjustments which are up here here you need a oh that's nice Russian was
telling me that this mouse features a heavy duty scroll wheel and I can I can
definitely see what he means by that because it has a very distinct click it
has a very good click when you're actually pressing on it as well so it is
very comfortable to use and then what they've also added is a dedicated sniper
button so what that does is allows you to figure out a DPI that you're more
comfortable with when you're zoomed in really close up to something so as soon
as you Scope in you're going to want to go ahead press that button and that's
going to dramatically reduce your sensitivity so you have more control
when you are zoomed in all the way so as we've come to expect with Corsair this
mouse has hold on I'm just going to put it down kind of gently somewhere so that
I don't scratch the uh nonslip or non-slip I always call them nonslip no
no intentionally slippery feet on the bottom of the mouse uh in terms of
length the cable is just over one Linus
armband and has a USB termination which
we pretty much uh we take for granted these days as we've come to expect from
Corsair we've got a nice rugged braided
cable so that should be more difficult to get caught on things than a
non-braided cable um hold on a
second what else we got on here so I just want to make sure I didn't miss
anything here's something that's cool it actually has uh besides an advanced
sensor and I've already used uh both the M60 and the M90 in a real world scenario
really like the way it tracks some mice regardless of what kind of a DPI they're
spec for sort of feel better than others some feel more accurate than others I've
actually tried the M90 already on a variety of different surfaces including
a cloth pad a hard pad uh a more textured hard PAD as well as just on the
tech tips table over there on a tablecloth and I didn't have any
difficulty with it on any of those surfaces some in particular you go and
you use it on a cloth pad it feels great you go and you throw it on a hard pad
like something like I've got an old steel series SX that's a discontinued
mouse pad now but it's my personal favorite and I've taken mice that
perform great on cloth I've thrown them on there and it it Glides great uh you
know great aluminum mouse pad but the tracking feels funny like it'll it'll
jutter around or it'll uh it'll kind of not detect just right when I'm going in
a straight line it'll move in not quite a straight line drives me absolutely crazy so this one seems to track very
well on a variety of surfaces in terms of the slippy feet on the bottom of it
we've got uh very very good coverage so
at the back on the sides at the back on the sides at the front so you're pretty
much going to be covered no matter how you rest on your mouse speaking of how
you rest on your mouse this is what a lot of people ask me ever since we did
that ergonomics guide on my ncixcom channel what a lot of people ask me is
what kind of a mouse is it is it a palm Mouse is it a claw Mouse is it a
fingertip Mouse and I'd say if I had to pick one for these guys this is more of
a claw Mouse although what they've done here at the back you see this shape
right here is they've created a way that
you can actually kind of Palm this mouse if you have smaller hands like I do so
you see the way that rests right in my palm there so I can either rest my palm
there or I can lift up a little bit more and I can use it as more of a fingertip
style of mouse the buttons have I'd say
about an average uh travel distance before they actuate I've had mice that
I've used in the past that um I find are
more like a hair trigger I particularly find that on razor mice they tend to be
quite sensitive so you put a little bit of too much pressure on the right side of the mouse boom you click all of a
sudden uh I personally don't have that great fine control with my fingers uh
for clicking so I prefer something with a little bit of a heavier Mouse button
so bear that in mind you guys if you're going to go with the M60 I'd say it's
about average um something that I could use comfortably but uh I wouldn't mind
if it was a little bit heavier as well um let me see what else we got here I
don't think we're missing too much ah yeah uh the Russians reminded me that um
you know I'll talk about that after because other some other stuff here is cool so side mounted sniper button
aluminum frame and base for improved rigidity and mass distribution tracking
up to 165 in per second with up to 30 GS of acceleration and automatic frame rate
control solid metal weighted scroll wheel with rubberized scroll surface
Okay so we've got all of that stuff so far but what we haven't talked about is
the adjustable lift distance with five selectable levels to fit your style of
play and the fact that the mouse also detects when it's being lifted and is
not going to move around once you've lifted it off the table which is a very
cool feature and something that can be the Bane the killer of otherwise very
legitimate very good gaming mice is if you run into that problem where oh I've
gone over here I need to lift it up and it tracks you a little bit back to the
right as you try to get back to Center so you shouldn't have that problem and I
have not had that problem uh in using the M60 or rather the M90 which is the
same sensor so in using the M90 so far
so why don't we just turn s of have a bit of a closeup here so you can see
it's uh what it looks like from the front there's that uh aluminum frame so
this even though it doesn't really look like it's connected anything is actually part of the unibody design you can see
it's joined right here and then it comes all the way out here folds up at the
back and that is what supports the Palm rest at the back of the mouse right
there it looks kind of bare bones but
like I don't mean okay I don't mean Bare Bones it looks kind of like exposed and
like you might sort of fall fall through the actual covering of the mouse and it
might be uncomfortable but it's actually not because all the places where you
would normally touch are covered with their kind of a
nonslip uh rubberized grippy coating so it's actually a little bit more textured
on the sides which is a very nice touch than it is on the top so on the top is
quite smooth and on the sides it's got quite a lot of texture so what actually
here you can you can see my skin actually rubbing off on the texture on
the side so what that means is that when you go to lift the Mouse you have with
very minimal pressure on the mouse due to the curvature of the mouse as well as
due to the texture on the sides very minimal difficulty holding it up with a
thumb and a pinky finger whereas it also isn't rough on the top so that's uh it's
not rough on the top that's good so uh
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Vengeance M60 don't forget to
subscribe to lus techtips from our unboxings reviews and other computer
videos and also don't forget it has user selectable reporting rate of 125 HZ 240
HZ 500 HZ and 1,000 HZ which uh I pretty
much assumed it had and I assumed you would know but since it's on the box I
might as well mention it anyway
