Corsair Vengeance M60 Mouse Review
Software and Lighting
Published: 2nd February 2012 | Source: Corsair | Price: £49.99 |
Software and Lighting
Just because there are less buttons to assign on the M60 it doesn't mean that the software is cut down at all. Indeed we have exactly the same amount of options as we found with its big brother.
As well as the ability to assign some standard button actions the recording process is the same. Click the MR button, click the button you wish to assign on the software (not the mouse itself) and go wild.
There are three DPI settings and the one for the Sniper button. You aren't limited to merely single DPI adjustment, but can set the X and Y sensitivity independently.
The X and Y adjustment can even apply to the Sniper button. Useful if you're covering a particular area and don't want to move up and down too much.
Finally the lighting is restricted to the two DPI buttons and an indication of which setting you're currently on. On the left we have the first setting and on the right the final one. An easy 'at a glance' way of keeping an eye on it.

Nice review, must say it looks very much like a redesigned R.A.T.7.
Both have corded braided cables.
Both have PTFE
Both are predominantly metal and plastic
Both are weighted
Both have the DPI Change on the fly
Both have two buttons on the side
Both have sniper buttons
Both have metal central scroll wheels
Must admit it looks slightly better than the R.A.T.'s, but it does basically seem the same OEM concept with a slight redesign, and seems to lose out slightly on the adjustability of the R.A.T. Still looks like a stonking mouse for Corsairs basic entry market, when you consider it's price compared to R.A.T.s being £60+ from reputable stores, although I guess it has an added scroll wheel.
Anyway yeah, solid review

The software what it comes with is just a rip of Logitech interface. Don't get me wrong i love corsair stuff and i will probable be picking up this mouse with k90 keyboard in a month or so to go with my full corsair build.
Good review.
if only they made them in white carbon!!!
Nice review out there. Great work! 
Just ordered one to replace my old worn-out Mamba (:

i have a mouse with "Avago Technologies ADNS-9500" and it`s not so good as you advertise it. my Avago Technologies ADNS-9500 mouse was bought in january 2010 so seeing the same sensor 2 years later is kinda disappointing
i need a new mouse but with a NEW and better sensor please

Basicaly in some peoples hands it tilts a bit, lifting the sensor and it gets sluggish or stops.
The M60 has lift detection and knocked off logitech software, both a good thing.
I wish the R.A.T.7 was better, cause I love the adjustments, the pinky rest, and it comes in an albino version.
but at the end of the day the M60 is a cheaper, more mature product and the R.A.T.7 is just the best efforts of a cheap console game pad manufature.

i'm loving this mouse, i just have two niggling little issues with it.
- it doesn't like my mouse mat (steelseries qck diablo 3)
- it doesn't let me click in frontend msi (z77a-gd65) uefi screens. i can move about but clicking does nothing, so back to keyboard for that, although my old logitech mx3200 worked perfectly

If the M90 has too many features for you, then maybe the more standard M60 will be just the ticket.
