Corsair Vengeance M90 Mouse Review

Testing the Corsair Vengeance M90

The M90 is not indicated for those who like lightweight peripherals. It’s a heavy mouse without a weight adjustment system. The thumb buttons are hard to click to avoid being pressed by accident, but some users may find them a little too hard. Since there are many choices, it’s interesting to first test how easy it is to reach the buttons and only then assign particular functions to them. The tip here is to leave the seldom used functions to the least accessible buttons. Unfortunately, size and shape are the only things that differentiate the buttons. Only time will make it easier to memorize which button controls which function. The situation, however, gets tougher when we consider the fact that the user can create 50 different profiles. It would have been interesting to have had some way of visually distinguishing the buttons, be it some engraved numbering or some use of colors. Unfortunately, the wheel doesn’t scroll horizontally, but it is one of the more precise we’ve tested, thanks to its rubberized surface.

The peripheral is not only
indicated for gaming. With 15 buttons at its disposal, the M90 is excellent to use with applications such as Photoshop, for instance. We also tested it with FPS games, although it’s not the focus of the mouse. Here the weight became an issue, but the sniper button, previously displayed by the M60, made sure our sniper shots were always precise.

The software is the same one from the Vengeance brand we previously complimented. It offers nice extras, such as the adjustment of the lift distance, but that was useless because the mouse is so heavy we didn’t actually lift it around the mouse pad.
