Corsair recently introduced the M65 gaming mouse, featuring a eight programmable buttons, a dedicated "sniper" button, Omron switches, and a weight-tuned aluminum base. Like many enthusiast products these days, it also boasts dynamic, customizable backlighting supporting the RGB spectrum of 16.8 million colors to match your keyboard or case lighting.

Taking a closer look at the M65 RGB, we find a 12000 DPI optical sensor for more precise tracking with a surface sensing capability, allowing the mouse to easily slide across many surfaces using large glide PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene; i.e. Teflon) pads. The mouse connects to your computer using a 1.8 meter braided USB cable, and supports the Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) for button and function configuration. You can program the mouse using the CUE software interface to create macros for repetitive actions, customize backlighting colors even for the five DPI setting button, and much more.

The top of the mouse is covered with a thin rubber coating to provide slip free control for work and especially during those intense gaming sessions. Let's get things rolling by taking the M65 RGB gaming mouse out of the box and get a better look at some of the features.
