this video is brought to you by our trusted graphics partner Nvidia welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Corsair Vengeance M 65 it uses the same overall shell as the m60 which they released quite a while ago as one of their first forays into the peripheral world so the m60 and the M 90 were Corsairs first gaming mice and they've basically taken what was already good about the existing models and improved on them in a couple of subtle ways so well actually the first way they've improved on really isn't that subtle at all and it's now available in three colors as opposed to one so we've actually got all three of them here today the one I'll be unboxing is a military green whereas it's also available in the traditional black as well as kind of like a sweet stormtrooper white and it looks like what Corsair is going for here is no matter what Corsair case you have you can pretty much get yourself a vengeance m65 to match it Packaging is pretty straightforward so it's just got a plastic shell within a cardboard exterior there you go it's just a molded shaped thing pull out the mouse and that's pretty much all it's included in here so there's a little bit of documentation that's going to tell you about your two-year warranty as well as how to go to Corsair comm and download the latest drivers which is like yay don't bother including a disc what's the point and let's have a look at the mouse itself so I'm probably gonna get slick to come and join you here in a minute no not yet not yet sorry I'm just giving you prior warning I know usually I say that and I mean like immediately yeah okay so we've got a braided cable that terminates in a USB so there you go it's labeled so you know it's a mouse you know it's corsair assuming you can see both sides of it at the same time nice high-quality braiding so you can't see any of the cords through there it's a boat and it's about an entire Lynas wingspan in length so that's practically it's probably a 6 foot cord based on how how long that is compared to my arms and let's have a look at the ergonomics if you haven't already seen an m60 then this will be new if not considered a refresher so down here we've got three adjustable weight zones so you can customize not only the overall weight of the mouse but you can actually customize also the way distribution of the mouse so I'm going to run and grab a screwdriver here I'm just going to go across one of the cameras with a crotch shot hopefully they don't switch to that one well we're in the editing process so inside each of these ones you can decide okay I want it more heavy at the back or I want it more heavy at the front so each of them has a little weight inside of it that you can either remove or keep in there all right we've also got poly tetra fluoro ethylene I think is what the actual name for it is but Teflon slippy pads all over the bottom of the mouse I love seeing nice big slippy pads I don't think anyone but me calls them slippy pads but whatever because they it just means they're going to be less likely to wear out over time it doesn't actually affect how slippery the mouse is on your mousing surface it just affects how long it takes for them to wear out so there's actually five of those on the bottom as well as check this out so there's a solid aluminum house in embody two the mouse that makes it extremely rigid in the hand and actually also contributes a little bit of weight to it as well another big improvement they've made over the m60 is that the laser has been replaced with an Avago a DNS 9800 sensor so that's capable of up to 8200 dpi which let's face it guys is only really going to be useful for you if you're running like a surround monitor setup or very high resolution monitor because other than that you're probably going to turn that sensor down and yeah you probably won't use it to it to its full potential but it does have other cool features as well so you can adjust things like your lift distance you can adjust angle snapping you can do surface testing with it it actually can can adapt to different surfaces quite easily so I mean yeah there's still advantages to having a high-end laser it's not necessarily all about dpi it just happens that a high-end laser tends to have high DPI because people want more better numbers and all that good stuff so now let's get into the actual ergonomics of it it is pretty much an optimal shape for someone with smaller to mid-size hands to palm grip however I think someone with larger hands who I'm going to have just kind of leaned over here and there you go thanks slick we'd probably be more comfortable with a claw grip on a mouse like this whereas a palm grip is going to be a bit of a challenge for him because he's got baseball mid sized ham so this gives you some perspective of everything from petit hands to large ones you've got back and forward buttons in there I would consider optimal locations a little bit offset from where your thumb would normally actually rest on this lip right here but still within easy reaching distance and you're not going to lose control of the mouse or be unable to lift it if you want to activate those buttons if anything if I had to complain about something with respect to the positioning of the buttons here its with my small hands if I'm not claw gripping I might have a little bit of trouble reaching the aim button here which is a dpi changer so if you're zooming in to snipe or whatever else you want to adjust your DPI on the fly you just press that button and you're ready to go so moving up to the top of the mouse we've got our dpi adjustment buttons as well as indicator LEDs and a solid metal scroll wheel that actually feels quite nice it has a fair bit of heft to it so the Corsairs also updated their software they've got a second generation control panel that they've added now the early software for the m60 and the m9 D was not very strong but it's actually improved a lot over the last little while so if you have an m60 or an m9 t that you've shelved it might be time to bring it back out and give it another crack because the overall build quality of the mouse is solid and as long as the software is up to snuff then it does give a very good gaming experience so thank you for checking out my unboxing on first look at the Vengeance m65 from Corsair don't forget to
