Corsair M75 Wireless Lightweight Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

A Closer Look & Performance
Corsair makes both a black and a white version of this mouse. Try and guess which version I have!? It looks fantastic too, and the finish is the same materials used in other Corsair white products, so it’ll match up with their cases, coolers, fans and other white-themed products for a more unified aesthetic.
Down the side of the mouse, there’s a good ergonomic shape, allowing an ideal gripping point for your thumb near the front, and two recessed side buttons that can be pressed in, or triggered by simply sliding your thumb up over them, as the switches are nice and light, but have a good crisp click to them too.
However, down the right side, there are two more buttons, but you’ll notice these look flatter. The actual switch caps can be pulled off and replaced, so here they’re blanked out, making this a right-handed only mouse with two side buttons. You can do the same to the left side, making it a left-handed mouse, or you can have all four switches available to give you a few extra macro buttons or for true ambidextrous usage.
Both the LMB and RPM are mounted with their own elongated and sprung panels, meaning there’s no chance of crosstalk between the two, and because they’re mounted directly onto the switch, there’s no pre-travel, giving you fast and responsive clicks every time. There’s also a nice large scroll wheel recessed into the body, with a well-defined textured finish that makes it easy to grip and control.
This mouse is lightweight, at just 89 grams it’s not as light as the Air (68g), but it’s still pretty nimble. This is helped further by three PTFE feet on the base, one at the front, a larger one at the back, and an oval one around the sensor, which allow the mouse to glide pretty effortlessly on any gaming surface, and even on my Cashmere wool mouse mat, which is a little rough by design.
The sensor is a Corsair 26,000 DPI optical sensor, which can deliver 650 IPS at up to 50G acceleration, which is to say you’re unlikely to ever be able to move fast enough to throw off the Corsair Marksman sensor, it’s one of the best on the market and tracks with pixel perfect accuracy. You can adjust the DPI level in 1DPI levels too, so you can dial it in exactly how you like it. However, keep in mind that while the DPI/Profile button is on the bottom of the mouse, the mouse is fully programmable and you can put this on one of the extra side buttons if you want.
There’s a recess on the bottom of the mouse, so you can tuck away the USB dongle when it’s not in use. This is handy for storing the mouse or if you travel with it.
Keep in mind that the mouse can be used in a wired mode, which is also how you charge the mouse. However, with a 100+ hour battery, you shouldn’t be reaching for the charger too often.
When it comes to RGB, Corsair is leading the market thanks to their feature-packed iCUE software, which offers some of the best multi-component lighting integration on the market, allowing you to sync the lights on your case, coolers, fans, peripherals and many other Corsair products. There are two bands of lighting running down the top of the mouse, and there’s the Corsair logo at the rear.
Being ambidextrous, I sometimes find this style of mouse never feels natural in either hand, but Corsair has done a great job with the ergonomics here, and it feels very natural in my right hand. I can use a mouse left-handed, but rather than blanking out buttons on either side, I prefer this mouse with a four side button configuration. This means I can add some hotkeys or macros to the other side, which is perfect for when I’m playing games like ESO, as I can put my mod macros on there for some QOL.
The design is very similar to the Corsair M75 Air (black) and the M75 Wireless, despite being ambidextrous is certainly very similar. I do like my black one, but I’ll have to admit this white design looks so much more premium, but of course, that’s subjective.
