Final words and conclusion
And there you have it, the new M75 all wireless. It works well, and yeah it's a proper mouse really offering fast scans precisely like a thin razor blade and offers a good notch of programmability through the iCUE software suite. The added RGB system is fun and complements the mouse, but is just that of course.
Wire(d)less
From the get-go, it's clear you're either in the camp that adores the freedom of wireless tech or you're staunchly wired for life. On a personal note, I'm all in for wireless, especially when it performs this well. The 2.4 GHz Slipstream band's reach is impressive—I can wander up to 10 meters away and still be connected, which is fantastic. The battery life doesn't disappoint either; I easily squeeze out 50-75 hours of use, whether I'm gaming or just browsing. I appreciate how the mouse smartly slips into sleep mode when idle, waking up instantly with a slight nudge. And if I'm stepping away from my PC for a few days, it is switching off.
Mouse? What mouse?
Picking the perfect gaming mouse is a deeply personal journey. Everyone's needs are different; some gamers look for lightning-fast responsiveness, while others might prioritize precision for sniping. Then there are considerations like design, whether you're left or right-handed, the mouse's weight, its lighting effects, and programmable buttons. It's no small feat to find one that ticks all the boxes. Take Corsair's older SCIMITAR series as an example - it's widely admired, but its multitude of thumb buttons isn't for everyone. The M75, on the other hand, strikes a nice balance, offering comfort across various game types. But like with any mouse, there's an adjustment period. Corsair has outdone itself in terms of precision; this mouse is incredibly accurate. The debate around DPI, however, continues. While some swear by the need for a high DPI, like the 18K on offer here, others are perfectly content with something around 6000. The Marksmen 26K DPI optical sensor in this mouse is undeniably top-notch, though the annual DPI increase often seems more about novelty than noticeable improvement - that's just my take, though.
How good is it?
I like how this mouse feels in my hand—it's comfortable and has these nice somewhat rugged grips that make it easy to hold. If you've got hands on the larger side, you might find it fits you just right. The weight feels just perfect to me; it's something I've noticed and appreciated. The build quality is top-notch, with a design that's both appealing and ergonomic. It comes packed with some solid software features, five programmable buttons, and it looks pretty sleek, too. I haven't had any issues with lag or input problems, and the buttons feel satisfying to press, responding well whether I'm using it wired or wirelessly. I also want to give a shout-out to the iCUE software by Corsair. I've watched it grow from something pretty average to really impressive, and it's in a great place right now.
Concluding
When we put the M75 Wireless mouse to the test, it really stood out. Its light design made gaming feel more responsive and quick, which was a big plus. Is it worth a look? Absolutely, especially for serious gamers ready to try something new instead of their usual go-to. For those who play more casually, it's a bit of a tougher call. Each year we shift roughly 2000 DPI somehow, and we have now reached 26.000 DPI for the optical sensor. Regardless of what you think and feel about that this is a properly built and good mouse at a decent enough price for a wireless one. The DPI mode button are a bit difficult to reach. Of course, hands the size of clogs like mine, also play a role in that, but you need to press that button on the bottom side. You have a fully configurable RGB LED mouse as well and it really doesn't have a massive effect on battery life. The fun part here is that if you purchase a matching keyboard or headset, you can control it all from the iCUE software suite. Which is very handy. The mouse is configurable, programmable, responsive and seems very accurate, it'll match many game genres and offers most the stuff 'n features that you will need. The guys and girls with a bigger hand will appreciate the rather large size of this rodent, it lodges itself inside the palm of your hands really well. Choosing the right mouse remains a subjective thing, I would argue that you really can't go wrong with the M75 Wireless aside from it's steep price of $129.99 , and if you don't mind a wire, you can get the wired version for 20 bucks less.
