Introduction

We’ve already favourably reviewed the Corsair Vengeance M90 gaming mouse, and now it’s time to try out its younger sibling, the M60. Apart from sharing a name with one of gaming’s most treasured light machine guns, what does the M60 offer? Well, it’s aimed at a much different audience: FPS gamers. With few additional buttons and a dedicated ‘sniper mode’, the M60 offers a much lighter experience that should definitely please its target market. How does it live up to expectations? Read on to find out.

Specifications and Features

• 5700 DPI laser sensor, adjustable on-the-fly
• Sniper Mode – instantly rachet down to a low sensitivity for precise aiming
• 1ms / 1000Hz polling rate – executes your actions precisely, without delay
• Motion detection at 165ips and acceleration up to 30g – ideal for low-sensitivity gamers
• Tunable sensor-lift & surface quality detection – fine-tune to your requirements

• PTFE Glide Pads – ensures mouse movements are silky smooth
• Metal, weighted scroll wheel with rubberized surface – improved traction, control and feel

Packaging

The packaging of the M60 is quite similar to the M90 but in a red color scheme instead of a blue one. It’s a standard shrink-wrapped plastic job, but thankfully includes a cut-out panel in the back which lets you remove the mouse without shredding your hands.

On the front of the box, you’re given a first look at the mouse itself, along with a list of features.

The back of the box is similarly pedestrian, offering features in several languages as you’d expect.

It’s a tastefully done package that should attract the eye with its red colour, but isn’t quite up to the par with the full boxes used by other companies (although it is a lot more space efficient).

Let’s continue on to the mouse itself.
