corsair m65 rgb elite review a

   It's CES time once again and just like every year we expect to see numerous electronics, PC hardware components and gaming peripherals unveiled by a very large number of manufacturers (big and small). Gaming peripherals have always enjoyed much praise in CES by gamers and if what we've seen so far is any indication then this year's CES is literally a gamers heaven. CORSAIR has a habit of releasing a large number of gaming peripherals each year many of which during CES and this year they clearly focused quite a bit of their efforts in the development and release of several gaming mice since they are unveiling not one but three models plus two high-quality mats. Today with us we have one of those gaming mice (didn't have time to wrap up our reviews of the other two) and more specifically the M65 RGB Elite Tunable FPS Gaming Mouse.


   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.


   The M65 Tunable FPS Gaming Mouse is the fourth model by CORSAIR to carry the M65 name/classification right after the M65 PRO RGB released in 2016, the M65 RGB released in 2014 and the M65 Vengeance released back in 2013. Just like with its predecessors for the M65 RGB Elite CORSAIR used an exclusive (currently anyways) Pixart sensor the PMW3391 which offers a maximum native resolution of up to 18.000DPI (dots per inch) adjustable in single DPI increments, has a maximum refresh rate of 1000Hz and can be calibrated for ultra-accurate and high-speed tracking on any mousepad. The M65 RGB Elite shares some similarities with its predecessor including the advanced tunable weight system which allows you either to adjust the weight center of the mouse and increase its weight up to 115g or decrease it down to 97g. Other similarities include an anodized aluminum frame, 2-Zone dynamic RGB illumination, improved OMRON switches for the primary buttons (up to 50 million clicks compared to the 20 million clicks of the ones used in the M65 PRO RGB), precision sniper button, 5 DPI presets, clickable scroll wheel and a total of 8 fully programmable buttons. True the M65 RGB Elite doesn't seem to be worlds apart compared to its predecessor the very good M65 PRO RGB but it seems improved so let's check it out.
