welcome to my much demanded unboxing of the Vengeance m60 so this actually is not my first encounter with first there's new gaming series mice although it is one of my first encounters with what looks like a horrible difficult to open package that actually I broken is not difficult to open or horrible at all so course there has in their infinite wisdom figured out a way to do a clamshell plastic package where the product just comes out like that like that's easier than like removing Darth Vader's mask that's awesome incredible okay so now okay I'm done talking about how great the packaging is now let's move on to the product so this is Corsairs first real entry into the gaming peripheral all cash shouldn't say it's their first real entry into the gaming peripheral space because they do have their had they're very successful headsets and very successful speakers under their belts already but this is their first crack at a human interface device so a mouse or keyboard so the m60 K 60 M 90 and K 90 are two series of products so the 60 series products are more geared for fps and a little bit more about why the m60 is for fps and the 90 series are more for MMO now in terms of some of the specs they're quite similar so both the m60 which we have here and the kasich and the m9 t have a full unibody aluminum construction so you can see it does add some weight to the mouse but personally I prefer heavier mouse anyway I use a fully loaded g9 with all of the weight the weight packs in it at work and I really do like that so it does make it a little bit heavy but not unreasonably so and then you also have adjustable weights here on the bottom so you can actually adjust not only the overall weight of the mouse but also where the weight is located in the mouse so they both have the same 5700 DPI sensor unibody design they've also got the same overall kind of ergonomic design and feel so the difference is that the m9 t has Tata buttons over here whereas the k60 goes for more of a more of an optimized sort of layout you don't need a ton of buttons for FPS but what you do need is your back and forward whether you want to bind it to grenade throwing or whatever else the case may be you need your sensitivity adjustments which are up here you need a that's nice Russian was telling me that this mouse feature the heavy duty scroll wheel and I can I can definitely see what he means by that because it has a very distinct click it has a very good click when you're actually pressing on it as well so it is very comfortable to use and then what they've also added is a dedicated sniper button so what that does is allows you to figure out a DPI that you're more comfortable with when you're zoomed in really close up to something so as soon as you scope in you're gonna want to go ahead press that button and that's going to dramatically reduce your sensitivity so you have more control when you are zoomed in all the way so as we've come to expect with Corsair this mouse has hold on I'm just gonna put it down kind of gently somewhere so that I don't scratch the non-slip or non-slip I always call them non-slip no no intentionally slippery feet on the bottom of the mouse in terms of length the cable is just over one Linus arm span and has a USB termination which we pretty much we take for granted these days as we've come to expect from Corsair we've got a nice rugged braided cable so that should be more difficult to get caught on things than a non braided cable hold on a second what else we got on here so I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything here's something that's cool it actually has besides an advanced sensor and I've already used both the m60 and the m9 t in a real-world scenario really like the way I tracked some mites regardless of what kind of a dpi they respect for sort of feel better than others some feel more accurate than others I've actually tried the m9 t already on a variety of different surfaces including a cloth pad a hard pad a more textured hard pad as well as just on the tech tips table over there on a table cloth and I didn't have any difficulty with it on any of those surfaces some in particular you go and you use it on a cloth pad it feels great you go and you throw it on hard Pat like something like I've got an old SteelSeries SX that's a discontinued mousepad now but it's my personal favorite and I've taken mice that perform great on cloth I've thrown them on there and it it glides great you know great aluminum mousepad but the tracking feels funny like it'll it'll judder around or it'll it'll kind of not detect just right what I'm going in a straight line it'll move in not quite a straight line drives me absolutely crazy so this one seems to track very well on a variety of surfaces in terms of the slippy feed on the bottom of it we've got very very good coverage so at the back on the sides of the back on the sides at the front so you're pretty much gonna be covered no matter how you rest on your mouse speaking of how you vest on your mouse this is what a lot of people ask me ever since we did that ergonomics guide on my NCIX comm channel what a lot of people ask me is what kind of a mouse is it is a pom mouse is an applaud mouse is it a fingertip Mouse and I'd say if I had to pick one for these guys this is more of a claw Mouse although what they've done here at the back you see this shape right here is they've created a way that you can actually kind of palm this Mouse if you have smaller hands like I do so you see the way that rests right in my palm there so I can either rest my palm there or I can lift up a little bit more and I can use it as more of a fingertip style of mouse the buttons have I'd say about an average travel distance before they actuate I've had mice that I've used in the past that I find are more like a hair-trigger I particularly find that on Razer mice they tend to be quite sensitive so you put a little bit of too much pressure on the right side of the mouse boom you click all of a sudden I personally don't have that great fine control with my fingers for clicking so I prefer something with a little bit of a heavier mouse button so bear that in mind you guys if you're gonna go with the m60 I'd say it's about average something that I could use comfortably but I wouldn't mind if it was a little bit heavier as well um let me see what else we got here I don't think you're missing too much ah yeah the Russians reminded me that you know what I'll talk about that after because others other stuff here's pool so side-mounted sniper bot and aluminum frame and bass for improved rigidity and mass distribution tracking up to 165 inches per second with up to 30 G's of acceleration an automatic frame rate control solid metal weighted scroll wheel rubber I scroll surface okay so we've got all of that stuff so far but what we haven't talked about is the adjustable lift distance with five selectable levels to fit your style of play and the fact that the mouse also detects when it's being lifted and is not going to move around once you've lifted it off the table which is a very cool feature and something that can be the bane the killer of otherwise very legitimate very good gaming mice is if you run into that problem where oh I've gone over here I need to lift it up and it tracks you a little bit back to the right as you try to get back to center so you shouldn't have that problem and I have not had that problem in using the m60 or rather the m90 which is the same sensor so in using the m90 so far so why don't we just try to have a bit of a close-up here so you can see it's what it looks like from the front there's that aluminum frame so this even though it doesn't really look like it's connected anything is actually part of the unibody design you can see it's joined right here and then it comes all the way out here folds up at the back and that is what supports the palm rest at the back of the mouse right there it looks kind of bare bones but like I don't mean okay I don't mean bare bones it looks kind of like exposed and like you might sort of fall fall through the actual covering of the mouse and it might be uncomfortable but it's actually not because all the places where you would normally touch are covered with their kind of a non-slip rubberized grip ii coating so it's actually a little bit more textured on the sides which is a very nice touch than it is on the top so on the top it's quite smooth and on the sides it's got quite a lot of texture so what actually here you can you can see my skin naturally rubbing off on the texture on the side so what that means is that when you go to lift the mouse you have with very minimal pressure on the mouse due to the curvature of the mouse as well as due to the texture on the sides very minimal difficulty holding it up with a thumb and a pink finger whereas it also isn't rough on the top so that's it's not rough on the top that's good so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Vengeance m60 don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos and also don't forget it has user selectable reporting rate of 125 Hertz 240 here's 500 Hertz and 1000 Hertz which I pretty much assumed it had and I assumed you would know but since it's on the box I might as well mention it anyway
