But I found left and right pretty easy and intuitive. Obviously, tilting left or right is far easier than forward or back forward, in particular, is cumbersome. You can map actions to four different “tilt gestures,” left, right, forward, and back.
Interestingly, the six-axis motion sensor in the mouse has another benefit. Corsair’s Marksman optical sensor can be adjusted from 100 up to 26,000 DPI, either via the up/down buttons behind the scroll wheel or in single-integer increments via the company’s iCue software. If you buy into the basic notion that higher spec numbers make for a better mouse, the M65 RGB Ultra certainly delivers. Sensor and Mouse Tilt Gestures on the Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Like Corsair’s other recent wired mice, it features a six-foot USB cable that’s wrapped in paracord, which feels a bit looser and lighter than more traditional braided cables. The main left/right switches are made by Omron and use light rather than metal contact to trigger, for lower latency and faster actuation. The mouse features eight well-placed programmable buttons, including a big dedicated sniper button on the left to drop your DPI down for those precise headshots. Personally, I like the mouse at its lightest, but it’s nice to have options.If you’ve never used or owned one of the previous M65 iterations before, the M65 RGB Ultra is a medium-sized mouse (which I find perfect for my medium-sized hands), that is 117 mm front to back, 77 mm wide at its widest, and 39 mm tall. Three sections on the bottom screw off, revealing weights that can be added to or removed, letting you adjust the rodent’s weight between 97 and 111 grams as well as adjusting its center of gravity. Like previous models, the M64 RGB Ultra also has an adjustable weight system. I didn’t find this to make any difference in gameplay, but it certainly looks more natural.
These are subtle changes, but they’re helpful - especially during long gaming sessions or during the summer when even the AC can’t keep your claw hand cool.Ĭorsair has also moved the mounting area for the cable from its previous position, a bit off to the left on the front of the Pro mouse, to the center on the newest Ultra model. The new M65 RGB Ultra has textured sides and a similar finish on the rubberized scroll wheel. The older mouse (top right in the image above) had smooth sides and a modestly textured scroll wheel.

But the company has gutted the internals, installed a Marksman 26,000 DPI sensor and, in a trend that’s quickly becoming common in high-end mice, added 8,000 Hz polling support. The aluminum frame, 8-button layout (including a big red sniper button) and handy thumb-resting shelf all share the same shape and placement as in previous models, which frankly, is fine because the mouse feels extremely solid and comfy. Today the company is back with yet another update, in the form of the M65 RGB Ultra.
