Product Showcase
As always we start with packaging so you can recognize the product in the stores. Clear packaging, all primary features are marked on the packaging, hard to miss really. Design plays a pivotal role when choosing gaming gear, and the M75 truly stands out with its feather-light 89 grams, making it one of the most nimble gaming mice on the market. This exclusivity is even more pronounced among wireless mice of a standard size.
Initially, I was sceptical about the build quality of such a light mouse, but my concerns were unfounded. Not only does it not feel cheap, but its lightness also contributes to better-aiming precision. It's almost as if the mouse becomes an extension of your hand, allowing for swift and accurate movements.
The M75 glides like a dream with its 100% PTFE feet, a feature that's enhanced by its minimal weight. It boasts a 26K dpi Marksman sensor, and although sensor performance can often seem like a marketing gimmick with little real-world difference, for professionals who need that extra bit of precision, like graphic designers, it could be a game-changer. Still, it's the mouse's overall feel and handling that matters.
The design includes a handy compartment for the slipstream dongle and a simple button to switch between Bluetooth and slipstream modes or to turn the mouse off. The symmetrical design of the M75 caters to all users, and despite a preference for ergonomic shapes for comfort, this design choice seems to favor agility and ease of movement. The matte finish ensures a secure grip, and the quality of the materials used quickly dispels any notion of this being a budget mouse. There's a minor creak on the right side under pressure, likely a concession to its lightweight build, but it's hardly a deal-breaker.
The scroll wheel on the M75 Air has been designed with weight reduction in mind, providing excellent grip and feedback. While it lacks the freewheel mode found in some Logitech mice—a feature I find invaluable in a versatile mouse—it's understandable given the focus on minimizing weight. The wheel performs well, although like many mice, pressing it can sometimes engage the tilt function inadvertently.
