At time of review I paid a few pennies shy of 60. Equally priced in comparison to other retailers.I'm 12 hours in with it and I'm amazed. Usually I'd wait a month or so until writing a review but this just can't wait.This review is for the Corsair Nightsword rgb model.This FPS/MOBA mouse is outstanding. Firstly the shape, size, weight and fit. Normally it takes me a few days to get used to a new mouse, the feel, the difference.... If you're looking to by this then I assume you know what I mean. It was like the mouse was designed to fit my hand perfectly. The thumb rest is a unique and just feel So natural. The rubber grip is comfortable and airy, haven't had sweaty palms yet. The buttons are placed perfectly.
This is an incredible mouse but there are a couple of things you need to know before buying, firstly where the sniper button is, the non slip plastic wears off with constant use, no problem to me i prefer it smooth anyway so i rubbed the remaining stuff off easily, note: all the rest of the mouse plastics are 100% perfect after nearly a year of constant use. secondly its the first button, it doesnt go faulty (like inexperienced people on here claim), it gets oxidised from use after a few months, there is an easy fix for this, due to these mice having the top end omron switches you need to take the top off the mouse and give every button a couple of drops of DeOXIT D100, problem is cured instantly,
I should start this stating that my unit may be a 1 in a million case, read on for more info.This is a great budget gaming mouse. With an awesome sensor rivilling even some logitech ones, and the buttons are all click and feel solid. I personally am a palm gripped and had no problem with anything, and the sniper button is perfect for micro adjustments when holding a pixel peek in siege.The ergonomics are a different story, as corsair have not gone with a safe design. I personally found that the not so smooth edges dug into my hands during long sessions, like when scrimming or playing in tournaments. I also think that the angle at which the back humps is a tad too sharp,
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?
My son has one of these and does a lot of gaming. When I first touched it I loved the weight and feel. I have previously used numerous fairly expensive Logitech mice, mostly wireless. When my latest wireless Logitech mouse started playing up (connection issues) I decided it was time for a new brand and going back to wired, so I bought this one - especially since it was on sale at Amazon.I'm pleased with it. Not over the moon. Pleased. Very pleased that since many previous reviews and questions, the developers had produced Mac version of their software so Mac users get the same features as Windows users.It is so perfectly weighted and their is almost zero drag of the wire - you hardly notice there's a wire attached.
A great computer mouse and a reasonable size. Not too bulky or too small, so works well for people with small or larger hands. The weight can be evened out by taking the weights out the bottom as it is a little heavier with the weights in, but I find it more comfortable that way. The Corsair software is very good and you can make any adjustments on there such as DPI and colour. I read the side buttons were too far back, so I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to reach them quickly in gameplay, but they are at a good level and you can very easily reach them, which is good for melee in FPS games and such. The scroll wheel is very comfortable and clicks into place with each scroll for more accuracy.
OK, so I'll be the first to admit I'm not the worlds best gamer, but I wanted a mouse that was:1. Wired2. Heavy3. White and black (ha!)Given that I'd ordered a bunch of other Corsair stuff at the time (see my other reviews) this one fit the bill perfectly. It's not really for intense gaming sessions, more sedate stuff, but my new sim racing rig is a permanent fixture and so doesn't need a wireless mouse and all of the battery shenanigans that brings with it.It's a lovely looking mouse, and the weights on the bottom give it that little bit of heft and "lower centre of gravity" that I look for in a mouse. You can remove these if you want and dial it into your personal preference.
Having dumped wireless gaming mice because of the limitations of battery power drain, looking at you G700s (if I need it plugged in all the time, I may as well used a wired mouse).Enter the Corsair M65 ELITE. RGB gaming mouse, but wired, so no dongle required. I have it plugged directly into my Logitech G513 so keeping my desk clear.It's a nice size, even with my big mitts, and I use it for general computer use and gaming (UT & Doom variants, even good old Quake 3). I'm tend to have my fingers resting on the mouse, so there's no comfort issues with use. I also found that swapping the weights did nothing for me, but your mileage may vary.As with most gaming mice now,
Had the original M65 mouse for around 4 years (white version) which was so comfy and a really great mouse. I changed my PC setup and fancied an upgrade but when i saw the Elite version on sale to £35 i had to have it.absolute steal for the price. Thanks Amazon.The mouse is an improvement in every way from the original (can't speak about the pro). It is comfier to use, the sniper button is a better place and the ergonomics of the mouse are much improved and i find it comfier (this is down to personal preference) The RGB lighting is improved. overall i am extremely satisfied with it and currently putting it through it's paces on Quake Champions,
I purchased this as a replacement for a mouse that had started playing up. The build quality of this mouse is apparent as soon as you pick it up. The internal metal and external plastic parts all feel solid.Tracking is by far the best feature of the mouse. It is very VERY precise. The target / slow down button on the left allows you to easily make pixel-level adjustments to the mouse position when required, a great feature for CAD etc.The buttons on the top of the mouse next to the roller allow you to adjust the mouse tracking speed on the fly as well so you can speed up or slow down the mouse pointer relative to your mouse movements.Even the cable gets a mention here as it has a nice braided
I should just state its downside for those looking for em.1. No spin-wheel/adjustable wheel, a severe downside that makes this really an only-for-gaming mouse2. The two macros buttons are too subtle, not tactile and protrusive enough....i.e. relatively hard and unpleasant to press3, Size. Think the consensus now is that G502 is the best all-round non-wireless mouse, but as a user of the old G500, I just find it unacceptably small and thin, and it fits neither of my grip styles. The M65 is much better than that, although if you have a big hand this might not be for you unless you're a claw grip person.4. Programme: There is no doubt the Corsair Utility Engine has insane customizability,
Bought from AMZ Warehouse Re-stocked item to make a saving. Item still works well and the only slight mark at the back of the unit hardly noticeable.Fit nice in my relatively small hands using the palm grip as opposed to the claw type. Button rest into fingers and thumb well. Compliments my Corsair K63 keyboard and works with Corsair Cue software to program the full colour RGB lighting effects.Shape takes some time getting used to, about a days worth of game play and then everything falls into place well. The sniper button on the thumb reduces the current selected resolution to a low one helping you to aim when zoomed in. Difficult to get used to at first but with some perseverance it can be your best tool for FPV games.
The mouse itself is great and comes with the ability to customise dpi settings. However, it lacks basic functionality in the sense that you cannot reprogram the buttons on the side to do something else withing the software (I downloaded x-mouse button control to change the two thumb buttons but was not able to change the "sniper" button) and the fact I have no use for the sniper button is infuriating - if it is possible to do so, it is not obvious or easy for me to do so. There is also no ability to upload a macro that you have downloaded online or code a macro so you have to click the buttons yourself. Many mice I have bought have been unable to record the speed at which I move the mouse but have never had any problems with and overall this is a brilliant mouse.
Lovely mouse fits the hand nicely. Goes nicely with my case and corsair k70 keyboard. I use this primarily for first person shooters, mainly counter strike, and rainbow six. Once used to it it's a perfect weight for accuracy and not too heavy for flicks. The extra mouse buttons it's perfectly placed and it doesn't feel at all unnatural to use your thumb to utilise them. I have my sniper button set up as team chat, particularly useful in counter strike as it doesn't stop me from moving or aiming (GEEK!)The only negative I have found is that in some games the sensitivity buttons on the top of the mouse change my dpi for no reason.
I've logged a good 300 hours+ on FPS games with this mouse now and would definitely recommend it to other FPS players.It as very easy to set up the different programmed DPI levels and is seamless to change mid game with the buttons either side of the scroll wheel. Likewise the sniper button is perfectly placed for quick use when taking those all important shots. I've seen some comments that it is easy to trigger by accident but I've not done this this once yet.The RGB light settings are very easy to set up and use through the iCUE software that comes with the mouse. It took me max 2 minutes to have the lights matching all the MSI set up - only niggle is if i change the settings for my keyboard
